EXCERPT FROM 8/17/93 BOCC MINUTES 3 <br /> ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA <br /> A. CP-2-93 LOUIS AND JOE BERINI <br /> Commissioner Gordon stated that whether or not the Board approves <br /> this item, she would like for the staff to prepare a report on the suggestions <br /> in the agenda abstract made by the County Engineer and the Planning Board. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit noted that because this area is being provided <br /> with sewer service does not mean that it is more of a candidate for transition. <br /> It is good that sewer can be provided because it eliminates the ground disposal <br /> systems but it is not intended for high density or a transition area <br /> designation. <br /> David Stancil noted that of the eleven criteria for transition area <br /> designation, this area met ten of those criteria. They took into consideration <br /> the density of the development around that area and the fact that it is in the <br /> Durham annexation area and will probably be annexed by the City of Durham <br /> within the next twenty years. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to a meeting he and Chair <br /> Carey had with the City of Durham in which they were assured that this area is <br /> not in their annexation plans. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit noted that all of this area is either park or <br /> rural residential. By -making this transition it would be a candidate for <br /> higher density zoning. Going to transition would .be an opportunity to make <br /> it conforming instead of a high density area. If it stays -non-conforming, _over <br /> time it would -assume a rural residential character consistent with the rest of <br /> the land around the park. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner-Willhoit, seconded by CommissionerInsko <br /> to deny the y <br /> y proposed plan amendment leaving it .rural:residential ..or park north <br /> of Interstate 85_ <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS _ - <br /> - Motion was made by Commissioner iVillhoit; seconded by -.Commissioner <br /> Halkiotis to ask the Planning Board to- -(1) address_Paul Thames'. suggestion on <br /> page 8 for additional requirements on -water and ewer utility construction <br /> within areas under the County's jurisdiction..andb(2) look at other ways of <br /> enforcing the County's water and sewer policy and (3) pursue an . interlocal <br /> agreement with Durham County on -extensions--of water and sewer-and to bring back <br /> a recommendation. - <br /> -_ , _- <br /> - -VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> - .
