89 <br /> PLANNING & INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT <br /> Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Director <br /> Administration 131 W. Margaret Lane <br /> (919) 245-2575 Suite 201 <br /> (919) 644-3002 (FAX) ORANGE COUNTY P. O. Box 8181 <br /> www.orangecountync.gov NORTH CAROLINA Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> � e <br /> I' <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Thom Freeman-Stuart, Deputy Clerk I, Board of County <br /> Commissioners <br /> FROM: Perdita Holtz, Planner III - Planning Systems Coordinator <br /> DATE: January 14, 2021 <br /> SUBJECT: Planning Board Reappointments <br /> Every year the terms of four Planning Board positions expire on March 31. This year, <br /> one of the expiring positions is currently vacant due to a resignation in 2020. Two of the <br /> remaining three members are eligible for reappointment and have indicated to me that <br /> they are interested in continuing to serve on the Planning Board. The fourth member, <br /> Patricia Roberts, has served the maximum number of terms permissible under the <br /> advisory board policy. Ms. Roberts is the Cheeks Township representative and it is my <br /> understanding that the County Clerk's office currently has no applicants from Cheeks <br /> Township but has advertised for applicants. <br /> Advisory Board policy and Section 1.6.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance allows a <br /> member whose term has expired to continue to serve on the Board until his/her <br /> successor has been appointed, up to one additional year. Ms. Roberts has indicated to <br /> me that she is willing and able to continue to serve for an additional year as the Cheeks <br /> Township representative, if authorized by the BOCC. <br /> The following two members are interested in being reappointed to the Planning Board: <br /> • Carrie Fletcher (Bingham Township representative) for her second term <br /> • Melissa Poole (Little River Township representative) for her first full term; she <br /> was originally appointed to fill a partial term <br /> Additionally, there is a second vacancy on the Planning Board due to a resignation (the <br /> former member moved out of state) for a term that expires on 3/31/22. Both vacant <br /> positions are at-large positions. <br /> If you need any additional information on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact <br /> me. <br />
