5 summer of 2018, with construction on the store to begin in the fall of 2018, and completion expected in the spring of 2020. Commissioner Jacobs said the Town of Chapel Hill signed onto the resource material recovery ordinance, and asked if he can assume that “demolition” means a preference of deconstruction first, and then demolition; or if demolition is immediately pursued, despite the ordinance. Ben Hitchings said he is not familiar with this ordinance, but there is some site mitigation that is part of the initial clearing and demolition of the project. He said the buildings are mostly concrete, but he does not know what the deconstruction potential would be. Commissioner Jacobs said the concrete is eminently deconstructable, and the ordinance says that they have 30 days to deconstruct before demolishing. He referred Chapel Hill to that ordinance. Ben Hitchings said he can check into this ordinance, and will send a follow up to the Board.
