Y � p If <br /> 106 <br /> address all concerns by the August 17th <br /> meeting. Mr. O' Neal expressed concern with a <br /> further delay and the costs incurred by the <br /> delay . <br /> Staff presentation by Crudup. <br /> This agenda item is for the consideration of <br /> the preliminary plan for Piney Mountain, a <br /> cluster subdivision . <br /> The property is located on the northeast side <br /> of Mt. Sinai Road ( SR 1718 ) approximately one <br /> half mile west of the Orange/Durham County <br /> line.
