12 4 Commissioner Jacobs pointed out that there was a moratorium deadline and another meeting should be rescheduled quickly because this still has to go to the Planning Board, back to the County Commissioners, and be completed before April 18`". Area 3b Carl Merritt was representing Merritt Marine. His property is zoned commercial industrial. He is not sure if he is against the rezoning or for it, but he thinks he is against it. He is trying to gather information alaout the impacts this rezoning may have on his property. ~o Area A 11 Wayne Pollard lives adjacent to Stagecoach Run Subdivision and owns anine-acre 12 tract. He said that it looks like he will be surrounded on three sides by affce space and he would like 13 to see the boundary with him not included in it. He is actually not part of Stagecoach Run Subdivision 14 but has access to his property through the subdivision. He cannot subdivide his property because he 15 is not on astate-maintained road. He would like far his property to be included as an additional tract 16 in Area A. But if it is not going to be allowed for any residential or transition residential, then he has a 17 concern for his neighbors that would be brought closer to a commercial area. He submitted a letter to is the Commissioners requesting that his tract of land be considered as an addition to the EDD, with 19 consideration for possible rezoning to allow transitional residential as a buffer for Stagecoach Run 20 into office use. 21 22 Commissioner Gordon had several questions. She asked about the new design 23 manual for these new areas and if the present standards would apply to the other two EDDs and 2a Craig Benedict said yes. The other EDDs will remain intact. 25 Commissioner Gordan asked what the advantages were of using the master plan 26 approach. Craig Benedict said that staff realized based on the Corbin Dawns experience, that it 27 might be unrealistic to expect a developer to bring in a project of 3q0 acres and know exactly what is 28 going to happen on every parcel. By allowing the master plan approach, the County Commissioners 29 can take a look at the big picture with the rezoning and the Special Use Permit to see what the 3o potential uses would be. This gives a reasonable amount of time for the County Commissioners to 31 see the plan and provide input into the plan. He clarified that there can be mini-master plans for 32 areas of two acres. 33 Commissioner Gordon asked why a person would need amini-master plan with such 34 a small area. She also asked that the standards be written so that they are easier to read and 35 understand. She said that the manual was still very complicated. She asked about the entire design 36 manual and Craig Benedict said that the entire design manual would still exist for the two other EDDs. 37 The abridged manual has statements of objective and subjective standards. 38 Commissioner Brown asked about the most logical and first places that sewer would 39 be extended. Craig Benedict said that sewer systems typically follow creek beds. He said that Cates 4o Creek does ga under I~Q, but it would be a lengthy process to provide water and sewer south of (-40. 41 He used a map to show where water and sewer service is available and where it could be provided. 42 Area A is probably the next place for water and sewer to be extended. He said that Area A could be 43 the focal point for a transportation hub for atransit-oriented development with access to I-4p and I-85 44 and access to potentially two four-lane divided highways in the future. This is probably the only 45 opportunity that Orange County will have with the best transportation access. 46 Commissioner Jacobs asked about plans for a connection through Becketts Ridge. 47 Craig Benedict said that there has been an accommodation for a connection through, Becketts Ridge, 4s which is in the process at this time. The EDD Task Force will be looking at the transportation network 49 in and around Hillsborough. so Commissioner Jacobs asked if there was a requirement for public facilities like fire 51 stations, police substations, parks, and school sites in the EDD manual. Craig Benedict said that the
