8 <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said if the property owners agree, then rectify the issue. <br /> Alderman Chaney said it would be better to fix problems wholesale rather than <br /> piecemeal. She said more opportunity is created, and cost reduced to the owners, if this is <br /> fixed. <br /> Mayor Lavelle said there are five properties on one side of Highway 54 and asked how <br /> big the project would be if both sides of Highway 54 were rectified. <br /> Trish McGuire said maybe 30 properties. <br /> Chair McKee said if five properties are going to be addressed, then the whole area <br /> should be addressed at the same time. <br /> Damon Seils said he would not want the goal of fixing the whole pie to slow down the <br /> immediate need of fixing the five specific properties. <br /> Alderman Chaney asked if it is that much more complicated to look at the whole area. <br /> Trish McGuire said it is just a matter of finding all the areas that have split zoning, and it <br /> should not be terribly cumbersome. <br /> Mayor Lavelle said she does not want to do anything to delay the five properties, but it <br /> makes sense to take care of the entire area. She said if staff can do it via a phasing process, <br /> this would be acceptable, as long as the issue does not get bogged down. <br /> Mayor Lavelle said Carrboro staff will communicate with Orange County staff to look at <br /> timeline options, and to do it as expeditiously as possible. <br /> Alderman Gist asked if there are any unintended consequences of moving from one <br /> zone to another. <br /> Alderman Seils said affected residents would get a letter that explains the planning <br /> jurisdiction changes, and the tax jurisdiction would not change. <br /> Trish McGuire said there would be some decision points to address by staff before <br /> notifying residents. <br /> Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director, said the focus should be on the <br /> commercial node area at this time, and results for the other areas can be achieved later. <br /> Trish McGuire said a point of difference between the two jurisdictions is the issue of <br /> voting representation among ETJ members. <br /> Chair McKee said to focus on the five properties first, with the intent to look at the other <br /> properties and corridor in the second phase. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the whole corridor should be done at one time. <br /> Alderman Seils said staff needs to determine how complex it is to do it all at once. He <br /> said if it is straightforward, then it should be done at the same time. <br /> 2. Greene Tract— Current Situation and Future Uses <br /> Craig Benedict showed a context map via a PowerPoint presentation, and reviewed the <br /> following information: <br /> The Greene Tract (164 acres) was acquired in 1984 for $608,000 and came to Orange County <br /> as an asset in the Solid Waste Fund. The 1998 Interlocal Solid Waste Agreement and <br /> amended April 12, 2000 provided for the three owning partners to determine, over a two-year <br /> period, the ultimate disposition of the remaining 104 jointly held acres. The Agreement further <br /> included a repayment mechanism to the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The financial <br /> reimbursement to the Solid Was Fund began on July 1, 2008. <br /> This link— <br /> http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=27031&dbid=0 <br />
