084 <br /> 6 <br /> Jacobs noted that while he felt sufficient <br /> justification was not presented to support Ms. <br /> Hunter's request, he did feel that there will be <br /> sufficient changes in Efland which have not been <br /> adequately addressed. He suggested that an Efland <br /> Study be conducted during the fiscal year 1988-89. <br /> MOTION: Jacobs moved to recommend approval of the Cheeks <br /> Township Component of the Comprehensive Plan <br /> including: <br /> - Designation of a Rural Neighborhood Activity <br /> ,-- Node at Efland Cedar Grove Road; <br /> - Designation of Back Creek Water Supply <br /> Watershed; <br /> - Designation of additional Rural Residential <br /> areas north of Lebanon Road; <br /> - Endorse and refer to the Ordinance Review <br /> Committee the designation of perimeter buffers <br /> for Public Interest areas; <br /> - Refer Mr. Davis' request to public hearing on <br /> • August 22, 1988; and <br /> - Denial of Hunter request. <br /> Motion was seconded by Best. <br /> Yuhasz asked the effect of depicting Back Creek as <br /> • a water supply watershed. Collins responded that <br /> the Zoning Ordinance would have to be amended to <br /> add Back Creek to the list of protected <br /> watersheds. Such an amendment would have to go to <br /> public hearing. <br /> Yuhasz asked about the idea of perimeter buffers. <br /> Jacobs responded that it was in reference to the <br /> separation of the Blackwood Division of Duke <br /> Forest and the Carrboro Transition Area in the JPA <br /> by a section of Rural Buffer. Currently, there is <br /> a one-lot separation. Proposals for consideration <br /> at the Joint Planning hearing on June 30 are to <br /> establish a buffer of consistent width; 670' and <br /> 400' have been proposed. <br /> • Collins explained to the audience the difference <br /> between a Land Use Plan amendment and rezoning. <br /> Jacobs stated that with anticipated changes in the <br /> Efland area with the completion of I-40, an area <br /> study for downtown Efland was in order.
