11 <br />Character Study Committee is taking around to the various - township <br />meetings now. The strategies that are included in the agreement are <br />those that were prepared for the Rural Buffer. They have not been <br />adopted and were provided only as an illustration of the different <br />development options. The concern is that the Rural Character Study <br />Committee is suggesting that in areas around Hillsborough by in large <br />have a density of one dwelling unit per acre. The Rural Character <br />strategies that are in draft form would in essence change that so that <br />there is a base - density of one dwelling unit per two acres. If this <br />was changed to 40,000 sq.ft. lots, at least a third of the total tract <br />would have to be retained in open space. Rose's concern is that these <br />strategies are in essence decreasing the permitted density below what <br />it is now around Hillsborough. <br />The Board agreed to have a work session with the Town of <br />Hillsborough. They asked the Manager to bring back at the next meeting <br />a revised time schedule. At the work session they can discuss the <br />outcome of the rural character township meetings. <br />F.
