1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 1, 1993 <br /> Action A enda <br /> Item # -D <br /> SUBJECT: CP-3-93, Bobby Kirk, Sr. and Jr. <br /> DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> 8/23/93 Public Hearing Minutes Dave Stancil, Extension 2590 <br /> Citizen Comment since 8/22/93 <br /> 9/20/93 Planning Board Minutes TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> (See 8/23/93 public hearing Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> agenda for other materials) Chapel Hill - 967-9251 <br /> Map - Planning Board recommendation Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider for decision a proposed <br /> amendment to the Land Use Element of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan submitted by Bobby Kirk, Sr. <br /> and Jr. This item was presented at the August <br /> 23, 1993 public hearing. <br /> BACKGROUND: The proposed amendment, as originally <br /> submitted, would affect part or all of 16 lots <br /> within a 1/4-mile radius at the intersection <br /> of Orange Grove Road and Bradshaw Quarry Road <br /> (Arthur Minnis Road) in Bingham Township. The <br /> area is designated Agricultural-Residential <br /> (PW-II) in the plan, and is zoned AR (PW-II) . <br /> The site is located in Cane Creek watershed, <br /> outside of the critical area. <br /> The proposal requests a Rural Neighborhood <br /> Activity Node at the intersection. The <br /> applicants have expressed a desire to <br /> construct a country store. By definition, <br /> Rural Neighborhood Nodes are 1/4-mile from <br /> intersections of arterial or collector roads, <br /> and may contain up to five acres each of LC-1 <br /> and NC-2 zoning. <br /> However, the Board of Commissioners may <br /> designate an Activity Node that is smaller in <br /> size. A precedent exists for these "compact <br /> nodes" , applied in 1986 at Blackwood Station. <br /> At the public hearing, six persons spoke on <br /> the proposed amendment, all in favor. <br />
