Nathan Robinson: And you're stating that the SUP applied not just to this but you're saying that the SUP applied to 1
<br />the inclusion of this in the bottom as well. 2
<br /> 3
<br />Eric Chupp: Yes, that's what Taylor had just showed in the SUP permits. 4
<br /> 5
<br />Nathan Robinson: Taylor, that's your understanding, right? Okay. 6
<br /> 7
<br />Eric Chupp: And with the recombination, because we didn't find that map, we had no idea where the open space was. 8
<br />And I don't think anybody did. The recombination was approved by Orange County and recorded and so what we're doing 9
<br />here today is not only amending that by the unitary ownership, but we're making the entire parcel, the lower, unused 50 10
<br />acres, not only will it have better and more permanent open space. But it will also allow for the fulfillment of the most 11
<br />recent Orange County Hillsborough Collaborative Future Land Use Plan that we showed you here. That's where the cite 12
<br />is, so all of the land use plans that are on record and the most current ones that we found for both Hillsborough and the 13
<br />recently approved comprehensive plan indicate the use for this piece that's currently unused and then redistributing that 14
<br />open space in a way that really conforms much better to the current UDO because we put those open spaces exactly in 15
<br />the places where the creeks are, the steep slopes are, the hardwood trees are and providing better buffers along the 16
<br />southern end of the property. 17
<br /> 18
<br />Beth Bronson: I think, if there's a moment, what I'm hearing Nathan ask is that when this property was resurveyed and 19
<br />the north half of the stream was assigned or given back or retained with the Woods Edge Mobile Park Home, and still 20
<br />managed by that entity, and then, again, purchased by, the southern parcel purchased, would that in any way have 21
<br />violated the SUP originally. 22
<br /> 23
<br />Eric Chupp: I think it did violate the unitary ownership, and that's why as soon as we found that, which was the night 24
<br />before our neighborhood meeting, we brought it to Orange County, and we said, this plat was recorded and actually 25
<br />another recombination plat was recorded, how do we amend this in a way that benefits the county and the neighbors and 26
<br />make it in conformance? So that's why we're here. And we work with the planning department to come up with an open 27
<br />space that we're maintaining the full 25 acres and actually providing, as I said, better buffers and better protection 28
<br />ecologically and environmentally. 29
<br /> 30
<br />Leon Meyers: Any other questions on boundary of the SUPs? 31
<br /> 32
<br />Beth Bronson: I have one quick question, and this may sound benign. The term future land use map, as stated in the 33
<br />Town of Hillsborough's comprehensive plan; however, this area is under the jurisdiction of the county and the township, 34
<br />so it's not actually part of this Town of Hillsborough, and it's not actually party of the Town of Chapel Hill. Not that these 35
<br />coordinated area land use maps, the COCA agreement, the central Orange coordinated area, that is where this map is 36
<br />from. 37
<br /> 38
<br />Eric Chupp: Right, and it's my understanding that that was, and correct me if I'm wrong, planning department please, 39
<br />but my understanding is that that was approved by both the Orange County Commissioners and the Hillsborough 40
<br />commissioners as a joint land use map that was passed substantially after the prior land use map that was part of the 20- 41
<br />or 30-year-old comprehensive plan. 42
<br /> 43
<br />Beth Bronson: But to be clear, does not replace it because this is a section of the future land use map. I'm not trying to 44
<br />split hairs, I just want to make sure that this does not represent, necessarily, the county's future land use map. This 45
<br />represents the Central Orange County Coordinated Area land use map. 46
<br /> 47
<br />Taylor Perschau: That's correct. The COCA, the Central Orange Coordinated Area plan is one that specifically 48
<br />applies to rezonings, within Orange County and Town of Hillsborough, and ask for a courtesy review. A special use major 49
<br />modification did not require courtesy review, and is not really regulated by the COCA, so the Town of Hillsborough 50
