10 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Chris Johnson: Well, that's the question. <br /> 220 <br /> 221 Statler Gilfillen: I believe, based on what the county,the officials have already said and presented in this and what <br /> 222 I've read, I see no reason not to put a motion to approve. <br /> 223 <br /> 224 Chris Johnson: Okay, so we have a motion to approve as presented. Do I have a second? <br /> 225 <br /> 226 Venkat Yendapalli: I'll second it. <br /> 227 <br /> 228 Chris Johnson: Okay any seconds. All those in favor? All those opposed? <br /> 229 <br /> 230 MOTION BY Statler Gilfillen to approve. Seconded by Venkat Yendapalli. <br /> 231 <br /> 232 MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY <br /> 233 <br /> 234 Chris Johnston: Seeing none, I believe we are moving on to the next item. I do want to, as board chair, take a <br /> 235 moment. I do believe we have a person who just walked in and might have a word to say as an <br /> 236 interjection. Would that be acceptable to the next presenter? <br /> 237 <br /> 238 Cy Stober: It's at the pleasure of the board. <br /> 239 <br /> 240 Chris Johnson: This would be at the pleasure of the board then. Do you have anything you'd like to say sir? <br /> 241 <br /> 242 Jonah Garson: Everyone, I just wanted to say thank you. <br /> 243 <br /> 244 Chris Johnson: Excuse me sir, do you mind introducing yourself? <br /> 245 <br /> 246 Jonah Garson: I will introduce myself. Jonah Garson,former member of the Orange County Planning Board, now <br /> 247 North Carolina State Senator for Caswell, Orange and Person County. I just wanted to thank this <br /> 248 board for the past year and thank specifically the folks, and I'm looking at staff here. I'm looking at <br /> 249 Perdita especially who helped me with the steep learning curve on land use. I really enjoyed <br /> 250 serving on this board, and I am thankful for your work especially given some of the knotty <br /> 251 jurisdictional issues related to how this place, how this county we love grows comprehensively. <br /> 252 So that's all I wanted to say,thank you all so much for the opportunity to serve with you, and thank <br /> 253 you again to staff for helping me along the way and helping me learn a lot. Thank you. <br /> 254 <br /> 255 Chris Johnson: All right,thank you. All right,with that we are going to go ahead and move on to the next item on <br /> 256 the list which I believe is Item 9, action item unified development ordinance(UDO)text <br /> 257 amendment subdivision regulation. <br /> 258 <br /> 259 AGENDA ITEM 9: ACTION ITEM: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE(UDO)TEXT AMENDMENT—SUBDIVISION <br /> 260 REGULATIONS—To review and make a recommendation to the BOCC on a Preliminary Plat <br /> 261 application for a Major Subdivision named Rigsbee Estates. The Plat is consistent with the <br /> 262 Concept Plan reviewed and approved by the BOCC as the site-specific plan of a Residential <br /> 263 Conditional District(R-CD) rezoning application on October 7, 2025. The proposal is for a 43-lot <br /> 264 subdivision on approximately 61.11 acres with 57.66% (35.24 acres)of dedicated open space. <br /> 265 The parcel is located at 3531 NC Highway 54 W in the Bingham Township, PIN9749-42-2010. <br /> 266 <br /> 267 Cy Stober: Yes Mr. Chair, members of the board,thank you for your time this evening. I do have a fair <br /> 268 number of slides. These amendments were initially presented to the ordinance review committee <br /> 269 twice. You all provided some substantial feedback that I hope you see some reflection in the <br /> 270 amendments before you tonight, and I think that it also was an education for me about doing a <br /> 271 better job of sharing what we do on a day-to-day basis in the planning office and how we do <br /> 272 administer the subdivision of land daily in Orange County in accordance with state and local laws. <br />
