Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the Preliminary Plat for the division of lots 3 and 4 of Hunter's Woods subject to the four conditions listed below: (1) Designation of a 50-foot stream buffer adjacent to Collins Creek as required by Section IV-B-9-b of the Subdivision Regulations. (2) A clear delineation of the 100-year flood plain boundary as the building setback line on the plat. (3) Removal of the pre-existing cul-de-sac radius where lots 3A, 3B and 2A and tracts intersect to provide a uniform right-of- way radius. (4) Provision of a landscape plan demonstrating compliance with Section IV-B-8, including location of existing trees, land use buffers, and areas to be planted. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 2 . PROPOSED JPA LAND USE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT Planning Director Marvin Collins stated that on March 10 a Joint Planning hearing was held with the Town of Chapel Hill to consider a citizen petition to amend the text in the Joint Planning Land Use Plan. The petition requested that the two acre minimum lot size standard that was adopted as part of the plan and which is applicable in the designated Rural Buffer be reduced back to one acre. On April 13 , the Chapel Hill Town Council passed a resolution which stated (1) that a density of one dwelling unit per two acres of land is appropriate for the Rural Buffer and (2) that the Orange County Board of Commissioners not change zoning designations in the Rural Buffer. On April 27, the Orange County Planning Board recommended approval of the citizen petition for a reduction in the Rural Buffer lot size from two acres back to one acre. The Manager recommends: (1) Board action at this time inasmuch as recommendations have been received from the other party to the Joint Planning Agreement and the Orange County Planning Board, and (2) retention of the two acre minimum lot size standard in the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan as originally adopted October 13, 1986 and made a part of the Zoning Ordinance on January 5, 1987. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Manager's recommendation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
