15 <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />Commissioner McKee said he understands that this will be coming back in the fall. He <br />said the sooner the better for staff, and he suggested this be scheduled in September. <br />Bret Martin said this is currently scheduled for the September 11 work session, but that <br />was a tentative placeholder. <br />Commissioner Pelissier requested more information about existing services, especially <br />related to the zonal routes. She is not sure how these differ from the existing response <br />demand routes. She does not understand how the proposed additions fit into what is already <br />being done. She does not have a clear picture of whether or not we are saturated. She is <br />aware that some of the service is paid through Medicaid, but she would like to see a big picture <br />of what is being added. <br />Commissioner McKee said he would like clarification on whether these zonal routes <br />make more sense as a comprehensive approach compared to the route in Efland. <br />Bret Martin said he will work to pull all of this information together for the September <br />meeting. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked if the mid day route on 70 is considered a commuter <br />service. <br />Staff indicated no. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked what the Efland- Hillsborough commuter route is <br />considered to be. <br />Bret Martin said the Efland- Hillsborough commuter route is a service that would run <br />during peak periods to coincide with the ODX route to provide a peak direction service from <br />Efland to Hillsborough to tie into the ODX stop in Hillsborough. He said the service would offer <br />a pre - Hillsborough circulator service, hitting a number of stops on the north side of <br />Hillsborough in transit dependent areas before going through downtown and the south side of <br />Hillsborough where a lot of employment destinations are located. <br />Commissioner Gordon said the zonal routes are the demand response routes, and she <br />thinks the survey feedback showed a strong interest in this. She asked if this is correct. <br />Bret Martin said option 2 is nothing more than the result of the public comment. <br />e. Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Application — Triple Crown Farm (8:45 -9:05) <br />The Board received the Planning Board recommendation, reviewed, and made a <br />decision on a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application proposing a 20 lot single - family <br />residential subdivision in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and Article 7 <br />Subdivisions of the Unified Development Ordinance. <br />Michael Harvey introduced this item. He reminded the Board of a lime green sheet at <br />their places, representing comments from the Department of Environment, Agriculture, <br />Parks and Recreation (DEAPR).
