population and economy with future uses, recreation and schools. So those two items seem to be in conflict with each 1594 other. We really as a board have not talked very much about if this will preserve the community and rural character of 1595 this parcel or this neighborhood. We have heard a lot about desirable schools, desirable recreation activities, perhaps as 1596 a board we need to spend some time talking about preserving community and rural character. 1597 1598 Melissa Poole: One of the options is to give extended time to consider…. 1599 1600 Adam Beeman: What do you want to achieve with the extended time? 1601 1602 Charity Kirk: We obviously need to discuss more or throw up another vote…is anyone changing their vote? 1603 1604 Statler Gilfillen: I am very close as the Eno River representative to changing my vote as these people are my neighbors 1605 and live around me. I live on the old Jackson Farm site and if someone were to come in on the 40-50 acres with this 1606 development right next to my house, the old farmhouse on St. Mary’s, I would be very concerned. I am hearing a lot of 1607 serious issues from these people. I also have a great deal of respect for Jim Parker and what he has done and is trying 1608 to do. So I have mixed feelings about it and I have been right on that edge. Up until tonight when I couldn’t think of a 1609 reason not to. What you just commented about the rural atmosphere, it affects all of us. What is the nature of our 1610 community, you are putting a large block of property and are completely surrounded by neighbors. That was part of why I 1611 was asking Mr. Parker earlier about the question of if you put a school in, is there some sort of compensation. Long term, 1612 that type of solution may increase their property values but that is a hypothetical, so I have mixed feelings. I am not sure 1613 that I should be voting tonight. 1614 1615 MOTION BY Beth Bronson to take additional time to review this matter concerning the proposed rezoning Atlas Map 1616 amendment parcel number PIN 9883-19-4355.
