12 <br /> <br />4. Carrboro Board of Adjustment – Appointments Discussion <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The following appointment information is for Board consideration: <br /> <br />Commissioner Greene asked if there is a reason that the BOCC is appointing John <br />Baker, as he lives within the Carrboro City limits. <br />Commissioner Bedford said this position has been vacant for so long, and Carrboro <br />can make recommendations after 90 days. She said all four applicants were white males. <br />David Hunt said the position was for the ETJ representative, and since vacancy was <br />for so long, Carrboro could appoint it if the Board of County Commissioners does not take <br />action within 90 days. He said it is in front of the Board now to make an official <br />appointment. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if these ETJ seats are required by statute. <br />John Roberts said yes, but there are no applicants from the ETJ. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said there are many people who live in the northern transition <br />area, who have expressed interest in this area in other discussions, and asked if any of <br />them would be willing to serve. <br />David Hunt said they do not want to be on this board; they want to be on others. <br />Chair Rich asked if the Board should move this to the consent agenda. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said the BOCC should review the ETJ’s at a future meeting, <br />and ask if towns should let people out of the ETJ, and put them back in the County, or <br />annex them into the towns. He said this conversation illustrates a real flaw with the whole <br />set up. <br />Chair Rich agreed, and said it is a huge problem. She said the BOCC can look at <br />this in the future, maybe at a work session. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said perhaps the BOCC can get a map of the ETJ’s so it can <br />see the boundaries and where they overlap. <br /> <br />5.
