10 <br />267 <br />268 Vicki Bott: We've been dealing with the question of feasibility to this point. When <br />269 looking at a quantitative analysis in the next phase, we will address more of the public <br />270 concerns, and determine if the program would be successful. <br />271 <br />272 Scott Lane: In this phase, we've been primarily looking at barriers to feasibility of a <br />273 program. <br />274 <br />275 Vicki Bott: The information available doesn't really reflect failures in programs, as they <br />276 are not well advertised. One of the case studies that we used had a low degree of <br />277 success, and looks at what they would do differently to make it more successful. It all <br />278 comes dawn to a balance, Did they create conditions to make it palatable and make it <br />279 easy to participate? <br />280 <br />281 Program Design Issues <br />282 Policy preferences options to be considered in Phase 3 <br />283 <br />284 Hervey McIver: Can a landowner sell same of his credits and keep same? Does a 1 D- <br />285 acre lot have TDR credits available? Is that fair or achievable? <br />286 <br />287 Vicki Bott: Minimal acreage requirements are needed. What should be the proof levels <br />288 for qualification is a question. <br />289 <br />290 Ed Holland: There are no brick walls apparent to the feasibility question; the actual <br />291 process of consensus in the design phase seems formidable, <br />292 <br />293 Renee Price-Saunders; This seems to be getting away from the overall goal of <br />294 protecting land, How much development do we want in the County? Should there be a <br />295 cap? <br />296 <br />297 Vicki Bott: In the back of the packet is a draft process for Phase 3. The first item <br />298 needed is defined goals and objectives from the BOCC that they want accomplished by <br />299 a TDR program. <br />300 <br />301 Scott Lane: Keep in mind that this hasn't been done in North Carolina before, The level <br />.302 of analysis needed before designing the program is questionable. <br />.30.3 <br />.304 Motion by Ed Holland to state to the BOCC that a TDR program in Orange County is <br />.305 philosophically, legally and politically feasible, there are no legal or administrative <br />.306 impediments, and the process of designing a program should go forward.
