AkT_ERXWSXA_W_2 AMENDED VERSION): ISSUES PROS AND CONS <br />This alternative is recommended by the planning boards of all three <br />jurisdictions, and was adopted by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen. <br />The only differences between alternatives 1 and 2 lie in the <br />language that was added by the Committee on September 20. This <br />version of the plan amendments refers to public oversight of <br />alternative systems as the means of public sewer provision, and <br />addresses public input for five -acre lot subdivisions (along with <br />two other minor points). <br />The effect of Commissioners' adoption of this alternative, as <br />recommended by the boards listed above, would require <br />reconsideration by the Chapel Hill Town Council. If the Town <br />Council did not change its position, the only strategies that could <br />be implemented would be those consistent with the JPA Plan and <br />Agreement as currently stands. The following is a breakdown of <br />which recommendations from the September 20 version would be <br />consistent with the current plan. <br />Consistent with JPA Plan <br />Farmland Identification <br />Purchase of Development Rights <br />Conservation Easements <br />Development Option A (2.0 -Acre lots) <br />Development Option B (4.59 -Acre lots w /expedited review) <br />Development Option C (1.0 -Acre lots with 40% Open Space) <br />Not Permitted Under Current JPA Plan <br />Agricultural Open Space Set -Aside Mechanism <br />Natural and Visual Resource Open Space Set -Aside Mechanism <br />Development Option D (-Planned Developments with 67% Open Space) <br />Development Option E (Rural Villages with 80% Open Space) <br />Average Lot Sizing <br />Site Sensitive Design Flexibility <br />Other Policy Recommendations - <br />"PROS" OF ADOPTING AMTERNAXXV <br />Z Z _ <br />"CONS" OF ADOPTING ALTERNATIVE 2 <br />," . .3 <br />26 <br />
