4 <br />Eidenier emphasized that certain classifications were <br />important from the standpoint of the Land use Plan because <br />certain things were required of developers along arterials and <br />collectors. If there were major changes in classification <br />terminology, it would be necessary to go back and make <br />extensive ordinance amendments to ensure consistency. Norwood <br />suggested to Rogers that his report include a comparison of <br />the County's classifications with those of DOT to ensure. <br />compatibility. Eidenier asked Best if he foresaw a problem <br />with differing state and local terminology in terms of refusal <br />requiring specific concessions from a developer, i.e., <br />to construct certain improvements because the state <br />classification for a given road did not require it. Best said <br />he didn't think it would be a problem in that the most <br />stringent regulations were generally adhered to, be they state <br />or local. Best stated that the County plan was going to be <br />more than just the average thoroughfare plan and that he <br />wanted everyone to understand this, but also be able to live <br />with it. <br />Best stated that once a schedule for going to public hearing <br />was approved, he would like to solicit written comment from <br />Durham, Durham County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Mebane for <br />the Orange County portion of the thoroughfare plan. Best <br />asked Bell if a list of TAS members and their geographic area <br />of interest could be prepared so in case questions arose at <br />the public hearing it could be demonstrated that an effort was <br />made to represent all areas of the County. <br />Best stated that the public hearing would cover several items. <br />He mentioned that the goal for Kimley- Horn's work was to <br />approve a classification system that fits into the <br />transportation element of the Land Use Plan. He also <br />mentioned that the thoroughfare plan for DOT and the rest of <br />the County would also be considered at the public hearing.

She stated that she had tried to take the <br />potential road use information for each township to figure out <br />where the traffic was coming from. Her question was which new <br />roads would divert traffic away from N.C. 86 and off Churton <br />Street. She was unsure how accurate the buildout data was, <br />especially if portions of Little River Township were zoned <br />critical watershed. Best stated that what she was attempting <br />to do was to be addressed in Phase II of the Transportation <br />Plan. He mentioned that the plan was for planning interns to <br />try to do traffic flow and traffic patterns for buildout in <br />the areas around the County.
