SUMMARY OF LITTLE RIVER TAC MEETING 2 1 HELD IN CALDWELL ON JUNE 3, 1987 PAGE 4 Calvin Davis said it didn 't seem logical to leave Berry 's Grove in the plan and take our Harris Crossroads . General discussion on the Berry ' s Grove activity node and surrounding area ensued. Calvin Davis also mentioned the Orange County Speedway as a major activity center in the township that needed to be addressed by the plan. There was general agreement of TAC members on this suggestion. Chris Best said he had been keeping a list of items discussed by the TAC and suggested a show of hands on the various issues. The first issue was further study of watershed protec- tion measures . The TAC unanimously supported further study of all viable protective measures before one, or a combina- tion of measures was chosen to implement watershed pro- tection . The second issue was removal of the Berry ' s Grove activity node. Calvin Davis, Deanna Smith , and Brad Walker were opposed to removing the node. Karen Barrows, Frank Ferrell , Tim McAller, Steve Berry, and Sharon Whitmore favored its removal . The third issue was putting the Harris Crossroads activity node back into the plan. Deanna Smith felt that property owners in the node area should be consulted before a decision on leaving the node out was made. A period of general discussion on the node ensued. This included points raised in the earlier discussion on the node. Bell also discussed the implications of node status with and without zoning. After further discussion on the desirability/un- desirability of a node at Harris Crossroads, the TAC split on a recommendation. Calvin Davis, Deanna Smith , Brad Walker, and Karen Barrows favored putting the node back in the plan. Frank Ferrell , Tim McAller, Steve Berry, and Sharon Whitmore favored leaving the node out of the plan. Issue four was the inclusion of Orange County Speedway in the plan as an activity node or center. The TAC agreed unanimously on this. Chris Best suggested a general motion to recommend approval of the plan as submitted with the four issues attached as conditions. Bell suggested separate considera- tion of issue one, further study of watershed protection measures, since it dealt primarily with plan implementation. Bell also stated he thought the Planning Board might want to see a little more discussion on the rationale for leaving out the Berry's Grove activity node.
