4 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 The NTAAC invited Annette Lafferty (formerly Annette Stone), the Town's Community <br /> 3 Economic Development official, to discuss the project in person with us, but she has declined. <br /> 4 Information on this development idea is clearly within the NTAAC scope but information has not <br /> 5 been forth coming. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Considering the already excess traffic pressure on Old NC 86, the neighbors have concerns <br /> 8 about the effects of increased industrial development at this property. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 5) Proposed FLX applicant/Development Located at Old NC 86 & Eubanks Roads: <br /> 11 Over the past year most of the NTAAC's time was spent on understanding and refining the <br /> 12 new FLX zoning that was approved by the town of Carrboro, and is now being implementing <br /> 13 in our area of the county. Our committee is concerned that this new zoning will negate many <br /> 14 of the existing well-constructed zoning rules. (We objected to the FLX zoning format but the <br /> 15 town of Carrboro adopted it.) The first FLX zoning application has been submitted to <br /> 16 Carrboro for the 25 acre plot at the corner of Eubanks Road and Old NC 86. In the coming <br /> 17 months we will ask commissioners to be very attentive to this development. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Added 3/29/17: <br /> 20 Here is the link to find the video associated with the recent FLX item presented to the Board of <br /> 21 Alderman on 2/7/2017. Go - 1 hr. and 17 mins into the video to get to FLX. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 http://carrboro.pranicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view id=2&clip id=137 <br /> 24 <br /> 25 6) NTAAC Continues to have one County Vacancy: <br /> 26 The NTAAC has had a vacancy for many years and needs assistance in recruiting new <br /> 27 members. <br /> 28 Respectfully Presented/Submitted by: <br /> 29 Amy Jeroloman - Orange County Rep to NTAAC and current Chair <br /> 30 Anahid Vrana- Orange County Rep to NTAAC <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Commissioner Jacobs said traffic counts came up about a year ago, when a proposed <br /> 33 widening of Highway 54 was being considered, but the traffic counts were out of whack so the <br /> 34 Department of Transportation (DOT)was asked to provide updated information. He said the <br /> 35 connector of which they spoke would have to be built by the Board of County Commissioners, <br /> 36 so there may be a delay. He said the end of MLK Road is supposed to be re-done as part of <br /> 37 the Carraway Village development. <br /> 38 Commissioner Jacobs referred to the trash issue and said DOT will address this if <br /> 39 called. <br /> 40 Commissioner Jacobs said some of the Commissioners have concerns about what <br /> 41 Carrboro is doing out there as far as development on Hwy 86 and he is concerned about no <br /> 42 response from the Town or their Economic Development Director. <br /> 43 Commissioner Jacobs said the NTAAC should feel free to report any problems to the <br /> 44 Board of County Commissioners, and it does not need to wait until this yearly meeting. <br /> 45 Amy Jeroloman said the Town is difficult to get information from. <br /> 46 Commissioner Jacobs said the Board thought that Carrboro was reaching out to the <br /> 47 community when the Town made the presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> 48 Amy Jeroloman said it is hard to get messages out, as there are no neighborhood <br /> 49 associations or sidewalks in their area. She said there has been a vacancy on the committee <br />
