and I think we're going to be back here as mentioned earlier <br /> tonight, we're going to be back and back again to defend the <br /> rural buffer as it slowly gets nibbled away. I think it's <br /> important that we stick by principle and the rural buffer. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Mr. Carey: Is there anyone else who would like to speak? <br /> Are you coming forward to speak? <br /> Yes. <br /> Mr. Carey: Come on down. <br /> Jeff : I don't know if I should talk to you or to <br /> you. I would like to speak in support of this fine tuning <br /> basically because it shows that the plan itself is flexible <br /> enough to be used by the people who own the land and I think <br /> that if you come up with noncomforming, the lots that are <br /> straddling the jurisdictions all around us, you are going to <br /> have to start looking at each one individually anyway and <br /> there's going to be no formula you can come up with as Mr. <br /> Collins said, you know 20% or 50%, etc. , etc. , and I think <br /> this is a real valid use of time to not only amend the plan <br /> but to show the flexibility in all of jurisdictions that as <br /> we grow we're not going to be stuck with a designation, a <br /> zoning designation, which is a dinosaur eventually and I <br /> think the rural buffer will be nibbled away slowly and that's <br /> what it was designed for eventually we're going to grow in <br /> all directions including through the rural buffer and that <br /> was in the plan when we all labored over it for many years. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Mr. Carey: Thank you.

If not we'll move onto the next <br /> item and that's item Dl.0 Town of Carrboro's class Mr. Roy <br /> Williford will make this presentation and also make the <br /> presentation for item 2a but before you make the <br /> presentation for item 2a let me refer to the first three <br /> items to the, go ahead and make the first one. <br /> Dl. C. LUP-6-89 TOWN OF CARRBORO <br /> Mr. Carey: Are there any questions for Mr. Williford on this <br /> Land Use Plan amendment proposal? . Yes. <br /> Unidentified: Is this in the Rural Buffer? <br /> - Mr. Williford: Well, the word, the term Rural Buffer would <br /> be this green area which surrounds Duke Forest, Duke Forest <br /> • is, of course, within the Rural Buffer so it's the southern <br /> • edge of the Rural Buffer. <br /> So, it is, literally, in the Rural Buffer. <br /> Mr. Williford: It is literally the Rural Buffer. Right. It <br />
