Lamar Proctor said notification to the public is also very important to the Planning Board <br /> because once ground is broken, it is too late, and residents are concerned. He said that so many <br /> citizens get surprised. He said that the future land use map is changing, and they need to get as <br /> much input as possible. <br /> Chair Bedford said they are trying to schedule a meeting with Mebane, and they would <br /> like the Planning Board to be aware of that so they can watch. She said they also have a meeting <br /> with the Planning Board about the comprehensive plan. <br /> Cy Stober said there is not a joint meeting scheduled but the Planning Board presentation <br /> will be made in the spring and more formal presentations in the fall. He said if there is a desire for <br /> a joint meeting, they can look into that. He said they will be incorporating the Planning Board's <br /> feedback into the rewrite in the summer. <br /> Chair Bedford thanked all of the county's advisory boards and committees for their work. <br /> She encouraged people to apply for boards that might interest them. <br /> 2.
