Approved 2-20-2008 <br />3 <br />Jan Grossman: Should we try to identify the next three schools so that when funds come available we would be <br />ready? <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: The next grant for which NCDOT will issues a call for applications will be for infrastructure. <br /> <br />Jan Grossman: Our goal should be that we always have a list so when funds become available, we will have <br />priorities. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: That would be a good idea. <br /> <br />Pat Strong: When you turn the application in for these sites, you can start thinking of priorities. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: The action plan requires you to prioritize the implementation of its recommended items. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: Does the Board only focus on the Orange County system? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: No, but Chapel Hill and Carrboro are working with the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Board of Education in <br />already applying for SRTS projects. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: We don’t weigh in even if they affect areas outside corporate lines? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: We can, but this board is mostly interested in the Orange County part of the program. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: There are areas now and in the future in the Chapel Hill Township that might very well benefit. Is it <br />appropriate if they don’t do something, to bring it here? <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: You could attend the open meetings they have. But I think as a board we primarily focus on Orange <br />County. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: It seems to be disenfranchised in Orange County. There are different responsibilities from the <br />Planning Board and there are issues that I can see coming up. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: I think it is up to this Board. There are a lot of projects in cooperation with Hillsborough. We have not <br />excluded Hillsborough. There are definitely areas outside Chapel Hill and Carrboro, but we don’t want to duplicate <br />efforts. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: Are Stanford, Cameron Park and Grady Brown inside the Hillsborough City Limits? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Just Cameron Park. Stanford and Grady Brown are in the Hillsborough ETJ. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: So we are talking about addressing county needs. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: This is a new board. For example, the Orange County Planning Board reviews development outside <br />the municipalities’ planning jurisdictions. We should try to match the jurisdictions interests. I think you have to weigh <br />each case. <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: I am thinking about the rest of the property east of 15-501 starts developing. There could be some <br />school transit issues. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: A good portion of this would be devoted to sidewalk. What about Cameron Park would <br />Hillsborough be responsible for those sidewalks?
