5 Commissioner Jacobs said the NTAAC should feel free to report any problems to the Board of County Commissioners, and it does not need to wait until this yearly meeting. Amy Jeroloman said the Town is difficult to get information from. Commissioner Jacobs said the Board thought that Carrboro was reaching out to the community when the Town made the presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. Amy Jeroloman said it is hard to get messages out, as there are no neighborhood associations or sidewalks in their area. She said there has been a vacancy on the committee for six years, and it is a County representative that is needed. She said there are people who would like to rotate off, but it would leave the committee as non-functioning. Commissioner McKee referred to the trash issue, and asked if the trash is a problem going north up Old Highway 86 towards Hillsborough. Anahid Vrana said yes, and it is car parts, construction debris, etc. Commissioner McKee said he has had good results by talking to John Howell with DOT about the trash issue. Amy Jeroloman said calls have been made to him since February, and they had a pick up this past week, but it is not enough. She said there needs to be a regularly scheduled pick up. Commissioner Jacobs said there is a DOT luncheon tomorrow, and the BOCC can share these concerns with John Howell directly. Anahid Vrana asked if the Board was knowledgeable about the FLX zoning. Chair Dorosin said no. Anahid Vrana referred to her hand out which includes links to presentations about the FLX zoning. Chair Dorosin said he will ask planning staff to forward a summary to the Board. Commissioner Price asked if the intersection with light industrial could be identified. Ahahid Vrana said it is the corner of highway 86 and Britton Drive, before the power lines and contains a pond. Amy Jeroloman said there are no services on that side of the road. Carrboro Planning Board — Susan Poulton Susan Poulton said the Town of Carrboro voted against conditional re-zoning on the Lloyd property. On June 21, 2016, the Planning Board adopted amendments to the land use ordinance that added site-specific flexible zoning districts. She said it smacks of spot zoning, and eligibility is dependent on several criteria, including minimum track size and that the subject property has been the subject of a site specific plan and study by the Town. She said this refers mostly to the property, at Eubanks Road and Old 86. She said the Town is looking for a mixed-use proposal for this space. She there was a charette over five years ago. She said the owners of this property have not submitted a formal application for rezoning. Susan Poulton spoke about residential portions of Claremont South along Homestead Road. She said a plan has been submitted for a commercial building with apartments above. Susan Poulton said the Town has approved the first phase of the project at 610 Homestead Road, and construction plans have not yet been submitted. Susan Poulton said a Hilton Garden Hotel has been approved in the Town of Carrboro. She said the Planning Board is also dealing with AirBnBs. She said there is some stormwater infrastructure construction related to the project, and this also serves a large community need. She said there are lots of other projects going on in town as well. She thanked the BOCC for its interest in the Town and acknowledged the Town's disrespect of the County. Susan Poulton agreed with the need for a traffic study in the area of Eubanks Road and Old Highway 86.
