6 <br />Dpaff� <br />Stancil noted that he has not been informed of <br />any discussion of the Board of Commissioners <br />regarding the proposed joint work group. <br />stancil reminded the Board that only about half <br />of the strategies are being recommended with the <br />remainder to be left for further discussion. <br />Burklin noted that the only two options being <br />considered are two -acre and five -acre lots. He <br />continued that the Rural Character study <br />Committee is concerned and disappointed that the <br />complete package of strategies is not being <br />considered. The fear is that the remaining <br />options will never be considered. Burklin <br />indicated he would suggest that the Board of <br />Commissioners continue to work toward discussions <br />and adoption of the remaining strategies.

The <br />Chapel Hill Town Council would only approve <br />options A and B; they wanted more discussion on <br />the remainder with the elected officials. <br />Eidenier stated, that, individual discussions <br />with Commissioners indicated they did not feel <br />more discussion was necessary and they endorsed <br />the recommendations of�the Rural Character <br />Study Committee. However, this is in the Joint <br />Planning Area and requires approval of the Chapel <br />Hill Town Council. <br />Eidenier noted the following options of the <br />Planning Board: <br />(1) recommend the resolution adopted by the <br />Chapel Hill Town Council; <br />(2) recommend that the Rural Character Study <br />
