The second is, I’ve 67 <br />been reading the NC Legislature’s agenda and they have a proposal to push road maintenance and roads from DOT 68 <br />to the counties. I don’t know if it will pass or not but has DOT proposed a turn lane or anything like that on Dairyland. 69 <br /> 70 <br />Michael Neal: No, and NCDOT has reviewed the plans. Going to the first question, the fire marshal’s comment is 71 <br />that currently there is a fire pond right here (pointed out on map) and there’s also Buck Fork Creek and the fire 72 <br />marshal in his letter suggested Buck Fork may provide the flow that he is requesting. That is something that we will 73 <br />have to do, either identify this pond or somehow amend Buck Fork Creek and allow a fire point there. 74 <br /> 75 <br />Tony Blake: Ok, that’s all I had. 76 <br /> 77 <br />Buddy Hartley: Lots three, four and five, is it possible to have an option for them to go to either school district? 78 <br /> 79 <br />Michael Harvey: The developer can petition, but it has never been my experience that it has been approved (by 80 <br />Chapel Hill/Carrboro). It is our opinion that those lots will be going to Orange County Schools. 81 <br /> 82 <br />Lisa Stuckey: When I was on the Chapel Hill Board, we never approved accepting additional. It’s so overcrowded 83 <br />they are not expanding the boundary. 84 <br /> 85 MOTION by Lisa Stuckey to recommend approval of the Triple Crown Subdivision preliminary plat application to the 86 <br />BOCC. Seconded by Tony Blake. 87 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 88 <br /> 89 <br /> 90 AGENDA ITEM 8: JOINT PLANNING LAND USE AND AGREEMENT AMENDMENT: To make a recommendation to the 91 <br />BOCC on County-initiated amendments to the text of the Joint Planning Land Use Plan and 92 <br />Agreement in regards to the density in the Rural Buffer land use classification and 93 <br />clarifications on other topics.
