3 <br /> and Eno Mt. Road. He urged the Town to phase in the larger developments, in order to merge <br /> in the traffic and streets via a more phased in approach. He said people are concerned about <br /> the Collins Ridge development, and its effect on traffic, and people wanted a secondary <br /> entrance in the beginning. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he wanted to know the Town's reaction to the Orange <br /> County Schools' (OCS's) concerns about the Collins Ridge development. He said the Board of <br /> County Commissioners (BOCC) raised this issue at the joint meeting in 2016, and the Manager <br /> was asked to contact planning directors to have a meeting about this. He said he believed that <br /> OCS was in the dark about the planning for this influx of students. <br /> Margaret Hauth said there has been no change between the Master Plan and the <br /> Special Use Permit (SUP), in terms of the road network for Collins Ridge. She said the Town <br /> approved the master plan, requiring the second road to be opened prior to the Town issuing <br /> the 451st certificate of occupancy. She said this condition remains intact, and the SUPs match <br /> this. <br /> She said the plans for Collins Ridge have been shared with the OCS Board of Education <br /> (BOE), and said she shared OCS's letter of concerns with the developers, and she believed <br /> that the issue had been resolved. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if there was a letter to that effect. <br /> Margaret Hauth said an email was sent today from the Applicant to the BOE, on which <br /> she was copied. She is awaiting a response from the BOE. <br /> Mayor Stevens said there is a balance in finding the kind of development that is sought, <br /> and how it will contribute to the community. He said the Town would like to see things move a <br /> bit more slowly. <br /> Mayor Stevens said the Town would like to weigh what they are working with, and not <br /> just be arbitrary. He said the Town wants to avoid simply saying no, or putting a moratorium <br /> on development. <br /> Mayor Stevens said part of the point of the long term plans and conditions is to allow <br /> for multi-modal transportation. He said the Town wants to insure there is room for bus stops, <br /> school buses, bikes, pedestrians etc. <br /> Commissioner Price referred to Churton Street, and asked if there are plans, in <br /> coordination with Collins Ridge, to redo Churton Street. <br /> Margaret Hauth said at the two intersections on Churton Street, both the master plan <br /> and SUP address the traffic improvements. She said the developers will also be making the <br /> improvements at the 1-85 interchange. She said the widening of the 1-85 interchange has to <br /> come prior to Churton Street being widened. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if, whether 1-85 is done or not, can Churton Street take all <br /> the bearing. <br /> Margaret Hauth said the developers do not control the frontage areas, and if there were <br /> need for an additional right of way dedication, the developers would not be able to give it. <br /> Mayor Stevens said the connection from Orange Grove to highway 70 is part of the <br /> plan. <br /> Margaret Hauth said the Orange Grove extension project is on target to be funded to <br /> extend the road east to US 70-A. <br /> Mayor Stevens said the Town is eager to see the connection from Mayo Street to Eno <br /> Mountain Road, as it will alleviate traffic. He said traffic will always be a problem in <br /> Hillsborough. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos asked if it is known when Orange Grove Road will be <br /> connected to 70 <br /> Margaret Hauth said 2021. <br />
