MINUTES OF A JOINT MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE <br /> TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL AND THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF <br /> COMMISSIONERS, HELD IN THE CHAPEL HILL MUNICIPAL <br /> BUILDING, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1986, 7: 30 P.M. <br /> Mayor Pro-tem Bill Thorpe called the meeting or order. Council <br /> Members present were: <br /> Julie Andresen <br /> David Godschalk <br /> Jonathan Howes <br /> David Pasquini <br /> Nancy Preston <br /> R.D. Smith <br /> Arthur Werner <br /> Mayor James C. Wallace arrived late. <br /> County Commissioners present were: <br /> Don Willhoit, Chair <br /> Moses Carey, Jr. <br /> Ben Lloyd <br /> Shirley Marshall <br /> Also present were Town Manager David R. Taylor, County Manager <br /> Kenneth Thompson, Town Attourney Ralph Karpinos, County <br /> Attorney Geoff Gledhill, Town Planning Director Roger Waldon <br /> and County Planning Director Marvin Collins and the Orange <br /> County Planning Board. <br /> Land Use Plan for the Joint Planning Area <br /> Marvin Collins, Orange County Planning Director, gave a <br /> presentation on the different recommendations of the Orange <br /> County and Chapel Hill governing bodies for the Joint Land Use <br /> Plan and the proposed resolutions to address the differences. <br /> He said the proposal included removing the southeast quadrant <br /> of I-40/NC 86 from joint planning since the Town had annexed <br /> the area effective September 30, 1986. In the area between <br /> Eubanks Road and 1-40, designate the land zoned industrial as <br /> _light industry and all other land Office-Institutional, up to <br /> the stream north of Clyde Road. He said the stream was a <br /> better boundary to define the rural buffer than Clyde Road; the <br /> land zoned for industrial use should be reflected in the plan; <br /> and the office-institutional designation was consistent with <br /> the concept of mixed use. For the area south of Eubanks, Mr. <br /> Collins said the proposed resolution was to designate the area <br /> as suburban residential, except for the south side of Eubanks <br /> Road, across from land zoned industrial, where the office- <br /> institutional designation should be made. The proposal also <br /> suggests removal of the office-institutional designation along <br /> N.C. 86. Mr. Collins stated that the area along Homestead Road <br /> and N.C. 86 was proposed to be urban residential on the north <br /> side of Duke Power offices with the boundary following the <br /> existing property lines and stream. Finally, the proposal <br /> suggests the area around Star Point be designated as suburban <br /> residential in the lower Morgan Creek basin and rural <br /> residential elsewhere. Mr. Collins recommended the Orange <br /> County Board of Commissioners and Chapel Hill Town Council <br />
