He asked if there is a proposal for how extensive this <br /> recovery needs to be. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the County and the Towns are parties to a recyclable <br /> materials recovery ordinance, which requires the recovery of any materials that can be <br /> recycled such as bricks, cinder blocks and clean wood. <br /> Deputy Chief Lawrence said he did check, and that is their standard practice. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said he was approached several years ago about <br /> deconstruction of the old Mama Dip's restaurant, and he was able to deconstruct it for less <br /> cost than demolition. He said Habitat for Humanity will take things out for free, and it is cost <br /> effective to do deconstruction. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said she would follow up on this point with the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he wanted to make sure that deconstruction is not being <br /> handed off to an entity that was not aware of the local practices, and the Board has an <br /> obligation to the larger world to promote environmentally sound policies. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> c.
