25 <br /> Chair Bedford asked if they could come back on April 8th. She thinks there will be points <br /> that the Board does not agree on. She asked if in the next public engagement window, the <br /> community could respond to points that the Board might be split on. <br /> Leigh Anne King said that they may have that language in the plan itself as they prepare <br /> materials for engagement. She said once they know the areas that are not in agreement, they <br /> can focus on creating questions on those. <br /> Tom Altieri said they will have a launch of the second engagement window on May 12'h <br /> and everything will need to be prepared prior to that. <br /> Travis Myren said that they could try to set aside some time because a worksession is <br /> likely insufficient. <br /> Chair Bedford said she had some small issues and asked how they are supposed to <br /> convey those. <br /> Leigh Anne King said they can submit that with the other comments. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how the consultant will get feedback from people under <br /> 50. <br /> Cy Stober said they will have meetings in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Mebane. He said <br /> the online component also boosted youth participation. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if it is possible to text links to young people. <br /> Cy Stober said he would talk to Community Relations. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked for clarification on page 140 of the agenda package. She <br /> said it reads that workers are commuting "from" cities, but she thinks it should say commuting <br /> "to." <br /> Leigh Anne King said they would look into it. <br /> Commissioner Fowler referenced the discussion about the vehicle miles traveled and how <br /> they skip the rural buffer for placement. She said she knows that it cannot be in the plan, but she <br /> would like to know everyone's opinions about possible changes to the rural buffer because it <br /> seems to make sense to place these closer to town. <br /> Chair Bedford said they would need to ask about it. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she does not agree with that because if you put it close to <br /> town, it looks like more like sprawl. She said that they are talking about a neighborhood that would <br /> be slightly denser, but not a lot denser that currently allowed. <br /> Chair Bedford said that would be a big point of discussion by the Board and there would <br /> be more discussion. <br /> 3.
