7 Mr. Pope spoke on behalf of one of the landowners who owns 90 acres of land south of Duke Forest. He referred to a statement made in the Planning Board minutes which talked about the densities not being consistent with the Duke Forest recommendations. Commissioner Hartwell questioned the land use designation for the future landfill site and Collins indicated that it is property that is not zoned for a land use or a landfill but is a potential landfill site. Before the property could be used as a landfill a special use permit would have to be approved by the Commissioners. Commissioner Hartwell then requested that the status of the property be more clearly shown on County planning maps shown to the public. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approved the Planning Board recommendation as stated below: (1) Approval of the Transition Area extension into the full extent of the Bolin Creek basin except in Duke Forest and for those properties abutting Duke Forest, and that two designations of Transition Area be established - Transition I and II. Area I would include that area previously designated for urban expansion. Area II would include the extended area. Within Area I, densities from one to five units per acre would be permitted. Within Area II, densities would be limited to one unit per acre until such time as Area I was at least 75% developed. (The Planning Board clarified "75% developed" to mean "developed or subdivided for development at densities of one to five units per acre" . Development refers to land coverage and not 75% of the residential units possible. ) The Planning Board further recommends that Carrboro and Chapel Hill provide at least one seat on their Planning Boards for representatives from the Transition Area in the Towns' respective spheres of influence or areas of jurisdiction. All of the above would be contingent upon Carrboro supplying a binding agreement that it would not seek to extend water and sewer lines into University Lake Watershed prior to completion of the OWASA carrying capacity study. (2) That boundary designations delineating Transition and Rural Buffer boundaries be established. (3) That an exchange of Carrboro zoning jurisdiction in University Lake Watershed for Orange County zoning jurisdiction in the Bolin Creek Basin not be pursued further. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 3. DEER CROSSING PRELIMINARY PLAN Planner Greg Szymik presented for consideration of approval the Preliminary Plan for Deer Crossing which is located on the south side of Old Greensboro Road (SR 1005) in Bingham Township. Six lots are proposed out of 12. 3 acres. The property is zoned Agricultural-Residential. The Land Use Plan designation is identical. The Planning Board recommended approval. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation.
