86 Michael Harvey agreed with this statement and said that a reason that the conditions read the way they read is to anticipate the eventuality of the capacity issue. A process will have to be established regarding how a developer with a site plan can work with the Town. Tony Blake said that regardless of the proposal, the set of uses would not be permitted in District 3. Michael Harvey said that District 3 was proposed for residential development only. Right now, District 3 will remain a rural residentially-zoned parcel of property. Tony Blake said that he was pointing this out to quell apprehension. (Michael Harvey clarified with the previous speaker that District 3 would not be acted on.) Charles Brantley spoke and said that he lived off of High Rock Rd. He asked when the Board had received the plethora of materials in this packet. He asked if Board members had seen this packet before tonight. Tony Blake and Lydia Wegman responded that Board members had received these packets. Charles Brantley said that he was under the impression that Board members had not seen it. Tony Blake said that it is a lot to go through but they did receive it. Lydia Wegman asked if any other members of the public wanted to speak. Hearing none, she invited Mr. Parker to speak and to address some of the questions. Jim Parker thanked Ms. Wegman. He reiterated that as developers, they see this as a transportation and interstate market. He said that what they have done is collectively bring parcels together to form one parcel to which this zoning would apply, as opposed to individual property owners having to go through individual rezoning processes, which may not be effective since the parcels alone make-up a smaller area. He said that they are trying to create the palette by which they can attract and bring in users into a development. He said that he cannot say what will go there except that they will be land uses that are needed and desired, or that are allowed to develop in that type of environment. He addressed concerns about the neighborhood meetings, notifications, and attendance. He said that the first and third Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs) were well attended with about 15 people, though the second meeting was not as well attended, but he believes there were about 10 people there. He conveyed that they would have liked to notify further but that that area of notification beyond the County's requirement is hard to define. Where do you stop?With this dilemma in mind, he followed the County's requirement. Tony Blake pointed out that the County's notification requirement goes further than what the state requires. The state only requires notification to property owners within 500 ft. of the subject property, not 1,000 ft. like the County's notification. Jim Parker remarked that the addition of the wells was a project component put in in 2008-2009 during dry spells in the County when people were trying to find different irrigation techniques without using potable water to put less of a demand on public water. He said that they have no problem taking out the wells out of the development design and will do so. Lydia Wegman thanked him. Jim Parker continued with his responses. He said that his traffic engineer could answer more technical questions but as far as the improvements to NC 86, they will be extensive when all of this land is developed. It is unlikely that this process will all happen at once. The ultimate build-out will likely be 4 lanes with turn lanes and signals at the interchanges serving the entrances to District 1 and 2. There will be 3-4 signals,one at the service road. In regards to comments about dying business in Hillsborough, he sees Hillsborough as a growing town. He said that the"interstate
