Seconded by Hunter Spitzer.950 <br />951 <br />ROLLCALL VOTE:952 <br />Carrie Fletcher: Yes953 <br />Adam Beeman: Yes954 <br />Hunter Spitzer: Yes955 <br />Melissa Poole: Yes956 <br />Randy Marshall: Yes957 <br />Kim Piracci: Yes958 <br />Susan Hunter: Yes959 <br />Alexandra Allman: Yes960 <br />David Blankfard: Yes961 <br />Patricia Roberts: Yes962 <br />963 <br />MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY964 <br />965 <br />966 <br />AGENDA ITEM 10: ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT (MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION –RESEARCH TRIANGLE 967 <br />LOGISTICAL PARK)-To review and make a recommendation to the BOCC on a developer-initiated 968 <br />application for an MPD-CZ (Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning). The proposed project 969 <br />encompasses approximately 180 acres in the Hillsborough Economic Development District (EDD) 970 <br />south of Interstate 40 and west of Old Highway 86, within Hillsborough Township. 168 acres are 971 <br />currently zoned MPD-CZ (Settler’s Point) and 12 acres are currently zoned R-1 (Rural Residential). 972 <br />This item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 15, 2020.973 <br />PRESENTER:Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor974 <br />Michael Harvey reviewed the abstract and proposed changes to the Zoning Atlas Amendment 975 <br />The Applicant for the RTLP proposal give a presentation976 <br />977 <br />Randy Marshall: I read in some of the material here that you are likely going to consider putting left turn only from 978 <br />that service road onto Davis Drive, I didn’t see it in your presentation. Is that something you’re considering doing, left 979 <br />turn only coming out of the service drive onto Davis?980 <br />981 <br />Michael Birch: Correct, we have added a condition that is part of the case that requires the developer to install 982 <br />signage essentially stating ‘left hand turns only’ there at that access point. That is part of the conditions.983 <br />984 <br />Randy Marshall: I think that would help address some of the residents concern that there’d be a lot of increased 985 <br />traffic going down Davis Road or at least intending to try to control traffic and encourage them to turn left, that might 986 <br />allay some of their concerns.987 <br />988 <br />Michael Birch: Absolutely, and that access point is approximately 1000 feet from the intersection with 86 and as I 989 <br />mentioned, the traffic engineers have been working with the County and the State to really anticipate only about 5% 990 <br />of the site trips to come or to go on Davis Drive to the west, or coming from the west. We think that signage will 991 <br />assist with that.992 <br />993 <br />Adam Beeman: My biggest concern is the traffic coming off of 40 or especially coming from Mebane. How do you 994 <br />plan on solving that problem because it’s only a single lane coming down the ramp and there is no lights so right now 995 <br />anybody that comes off that ramp could sit there for minutes before they can make a left turn to go towards the 996 <br />hospital. I only see that increasing with all those, the developments that they put in over across the street from the 997 <br />hospital and you want to add how many tractor-trailers coming off of that ramp? So, I’m just curious to know what 998 <br />your plan is for the light situation coming off the ramp.999 <br />1000 <br />20
