24 <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin said the presentation lays out three different options for how much <br />developable area there will be, based on how the headwaters are configured. He said the <br />metrics are being applied to these three different total acreage numbers. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said there could be a target number of units, as opposed to a <br />target number of acreage, and design something less dense, and more livable. <br />Travis Myren said the reason why the 39 acres times 20 does not work, is because the <br />39 includes the school site, the road, etc. He said a subset of those 39 acres would be <br />available for housing. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked, if there is mixed use, is it counted separately yet again, or <br />is it a part of the housing. <br />Travis Myren said that would be part of the housing. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said the inclusion of commercial development has been part of <br />the debate from the beginning, and the issue of food deserts makes this particularly germane. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said food deserts and jobs, and he would be in favor of mixed <br />use. He said the eastern side has always intrigued him because it allows easier access to <br />existing transportation and food. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is a reason why this railroad track is such an <br />insurmountable obstacle. <br />Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said there are no new crossings allowed over the <br />railroad, and adding one requires the removal of two existing crossings. He said the existing <br />crossings, at Homestead and Eubanks roads, are critical. He said if the North Carolina <br />Railroad (NCRR) were to abandon this rail in the future, there would be no problems. He said <br />Orange County will submit an application, but NCRR has recommended that the County find <br />another access point from the north or south. He said there is possible access to the north <br />through Genestu Drive, next to the Animal Shelter, but some right of ways would be needed <br />from property owners. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if NCRR has the same criteria for a freight train <br />travelling at 60 miles per hour, and a coal train that is crawling along. <br />Craig Benedict said yes, and the possibility of a new rail crossing is minimal. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if Norfolk-Southern is a private company. <br />Craig Benedict said Norfolk-Southern has the use of the right of way from the State. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if anyone has approached Norfolk-Southern to see if <br />they will change their mind. <br />Craig Benedict said they are in the mode to close private crossings throughout the <br />state, and close public crossings where they can, NCRR has rerouted roads rather than <br />closing crossings. <br />Commissioner Price asked if they are discussing at grade crossings. <br />Craig Benedict said yes. <br />Commissioner Price asked if, this area would be developed; would there be any at <br />grade, open crossings. <br />Craig Benedict said one suggestion was to have a grade crossing, as there seems to <br />be no way to go under or over it. He said the likelihood of NCRR approving this is minimal. <br />Commissioner Price asked if there would be trains going through the property without <br />signals, and bars to alert people to the train’s presence. <br />Craig Benedict said the train is only used to transport coal to UNC, and there are no <br />crossings being suggested for this site. <br />Commissioner Price referred to the buffer, and asked if the buffer is a long standing <br />policy, or a current recommendation. <br />Craig Benedict said the wetlands necessitate required buffers. <br />Commissioner Price asked if the size of the buffers is an existing requirement.
