• • 061 'IPA DRAFT MINUTES 4-17-86 PAGE 22 of residents traveling 1-40 to places of employment such as the Research Triangle Area. Carmine Prioli, a Stoneycreek resident, note that Stoneycreek residents wished to keep the New Hope Church Road interchange as a rural buffer area. He indicated he had a list of many facts to prove the reasons for keeping this as a rural buffer. He expressed thanks that this industrial node had been removed from the plan and wished it to remain so. Steven Garfunkel, a resident of Barrington Hills noted he had two concerns about the Calvander Industrial node. 1) He expressed the concern that he lives near where the road dead-ends and pressure would sometime in the future be such to carry this road on through into another residential area. This would severely change the character of the neighborhood. 2) He was also concerned with the implications of placing an industrial node in an area so out of character. It is particularly troublesome since none of the property owners in the . Calvander area have expressed a desire to develop their property. It seems only those in favor of the industrial node are professional planners. He expressed the thought that he believes in planning but it has to be justified and he noted he did not feel this could be justified. Robert Oakes, a resident of Calvander, noted that he has been in favor of joint planning between Orange County, Chapel Hill and Carrboro for many years. He referenced the Governor's Community of Excellence program and the fact that to participate in that program there had to be six industrial sites available to offer those coming into the community. He stated that this was really the beginning of the industrial node concept and the present planning staffs were not involved in this. He felt it would be better to move the industrial site to the buffer zone. John Peraza, Stoney Creek resident, presented a prepared statement attched to these minutes. Dan Marnell, Stoney Creek resident, presented a prepared statement attached to these minutes. Willhoit was asked about further public hearings. He stated this matter was being referred back to the respective Planning Boards and Staffs for study and recommendation. Willhoit asked that careful consideration be given to the timing of the implementation of the accommodating ordinances. He also asked that consideration be given to the ratio of the road frontage at Blackwood Station node.
