<br />4 <br /> 162 <br />Lydia Wegman: Is there a percentage like no more than 25% could be multi-family? 163 <br /> 164 <br />Perdita Holtz: Yes. 165 <br /> 166 <br />Perdita Holtz continued presentation. 167 <br /> 168 <br />Tony Blake: So that’s the plan, to extend the service road or come off of that service road somewhere? 169 <br /> 170 <br />Perdita Holtz: Yes, and likely improve the service road. 171 <br /> 172 <br />Tony Blake: Have you had any contact with the people around this area about the re-zoning? 173 <br /> 174 <br />Perdita Holtz: We are sending out notices next Monday and there’s going to be a public information meeting on the 175 <br />26th of this month. 176 <br /> 177 <br />Craig Benedict: Also, we’ve been in contact with the 166-acre parcel, the present zoning on that now is being 178 <br />marketed so they’re familiar with our process to change the zoning. These zoning amendments would facilitate a 179 <br />better development program. 180 <br /> 181 <br />Perdita Holtz: So the next steps I just mentioned we’re planning on holding the public information meeting on July 182 <br />26th 6:00-7:30 in this room. That meeting will cover the three related topics, which are the joint land use plan 183 <br />amendments that Tom’s going to talk about; these text amendments; and the re-zoning that I’ve just showed you, I 184 <br />think there’s six parcels total. We are doing mailed notices. It’s going to be a combined notice, for both the public 185 <br />information meeting and the August Planning Board meeting to the affected parcels and the property within 1,000 186 <br />feet of those parcels that are proposed for re-zoning and we’re also going to be posting signs in the affected area. 187 <br /> 188 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: That’s good because I just met someone up near the Tanger Mall because they thought they were 189 <br />on the other side of 40/85 and they didn’t attend the information meeting and now their property is commercial but 190 <br />they don’t have water and sewer over there and they didn’t understand all that, so please make sure the people 191 <br />understand that they might want to come and find out what’s going on. 192 <br /> 193 <br />Perdita Holtz: I mentioned that these 3 topics are scheduled for the Planning Board meeting next month on August 194 <br />3rd for recommendation and the quarterly public hearing is scheduled for September 12th. 195 <br /> 196 <br />Tony Blake: Two more questions. I’m reading on the DOT site that they’re planning on widening I-40 from the hill on 197 <br />up; are you aware of that and will they need more land? 198 <br /> 199 <br />Perdita Holtz: I believe they already have right of way for everything. 200 <br /> 201 <br />Tony Blake: Is Hillsborough planning to annex this area? 202 <br /> 203 <br />Perdita Holtz: Not anytime soon because it would have to be a voluntary annexation, the property owner would have 204 <br />to apply for annexation. 205 <br /> 206 <br />Tony Blake: Also one more question; I’ve noticed that Alamance County, Mebane have created a free trade zone, or 207 <br />a foreign trade zone or something like that. Is there a provision in this to do that sort of trade zone if a foreign 208 <br />company wanted to locate here? 209 <br /> 210 <br />Craig Benedict: We have no special provisions within our zoning code for that. That is not a zoning issue; that is a 211 <br />policy and tax issue… For example, if a developer came in and wanted to do an industrial park then that would be 212 <br />part of a tax incentive program. 213 <br /> 214
