Our committee is concerned that this new zoning <br /> will negate many of the existing well-constructed zoning rules. (We objected to the FLX <br /> zoning format but the town of Carrboro adopted it.) The first FLX zoning application has <br /> been submitted to Carrboro for the 25 acre plot at the corner of Eubanks Road and Old NC <br /> 86. In the coming months we will ask commissioners to be very attentive to this <br /> development. <br /> Added 3/29/17: <br /> Here is the link to find the video associated with the recent FLX item presented to the Board of <br /> Alderman on 2/7/2017. Go - 1 hr. and 17 mins into the video to get to FLX. <br /> http://carrboro.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view id=2&clip id=137 <br /> 6) NTAAC Continues to have one County Vacancy: <br /> The NTAAC has had a vacancy for many years and needs assistance in recruiting new <br /> members. <br /> Respectfully Presented/Submitted by: <br /> Amy Jeroloman - Orange County Rep to NTAAC and current Chair <br /> Anahid Vrana- Orange County Rep to NTAAC <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said traffic counts came up about a year ago, when a proposed <br /> widening of Highway 54 was being considered, but the traffic counts were out of whack so the <br /> Department of Transportation (DOT) was asked to provide updated information. He said the <br /> connector of which they spoke would have to be built by the Board of County Commissioners, <br /> so there may be a delay. He said the end of MLK Road is supposed to be re-done as part of <br /> the Carraway Village development. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs referred to the trash issue and said DOT will address this if <br /> called. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said some of the Commissioners have concerns about what <br /> Carrboro is doing out there as far as development on Hwy 86 and he is concerned about no <br /> response from the Town or their Economic Development Director. <br />
