Davis, presented the four (4) contracts for the new county <br />agriculture building annex and renovation. Chairman Stanford was authorized by <br />the Board to sign said contracts. <br />A discussion arose concerning a hedge now located near the agriculture <br />building. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Bennett, seconded by Commissioner Walker, and <br />unanimously adopted, a committee composed of Sam Gattis, Paul Carr and Don Matheson <br />were appointed to investigate the matter of preserving and using the hedge. <br />Mrs. Virginia Forrest, Chairman of the Orange County Planning Board, gave <br />the Board members copies of a proposed countywide zoning ordinance. She said it <br />would be ready for their consideration shortly after two more public meetings on <br />it are held., <br />Lucien Faust of the Research Triangle Regional Planning Commission, briefed <br />the Board on the location of the zones. He said one or two revisions in the present <br />draft would be needed to make the zoning ordinance acceptable to the public. <br />Walter Wrenn, Civil Defense Director, presented plans as recommended by the <br />Civil Defense Agency pertaining to the National Fallout Shelter Survey which is <br />underway throughout North Carolina. Mr. Wrenn specified that local government units <br />must be responsible for obtaining a warehouse for storage of supplies, these <br />supplies include food and first aid material, until the supplies could be distributed <br />to the shelters. A local warehouse or depost must be identified to which shelter <br />stockage may be shipped. The stocks will be procured by the Federal Government and <br />supplied to the local government units. The responsibility for monitoring and <br />controlling these stocks will lie with the local government unit. The warehouse <br />must consist of l cubic foot per person for ten per cent (.10%) of the population <br />of Orange County. <br />Due to the incompletion of the National Fallout Shelter Survey project and <br />the expense of operating the warehouse Mr. Wrenn recommended that no action be taken <br />with reference to the storage warehouse at the present time. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner McDade, and <br />unanimously adopted, the recommendation of Walter Wrenn, Civil Defense Director, <br />pertaining to the warehouse storage of Civil Defense supplies was accepted. <br />Chairman Stanford informed the Board that the State Highway Commission had <br />denied a request to extend a 35 m.p.h. zone on the Airport Road from the Chapel Hill <br />town limits to the intersection of Estes Drive. <br />Chairman Stanford informed the Board that according to a letter dated February <br />1st received from the State Highway Commission the following roads in Orange County <br />had been added to the Secondary Road Program. <br />Pet.
