4'-t'7 THEREFORE, BE IT NOW RESOLVED that the tract of 1.25 acres above described by metes and bounds be and it is hereby dedicated as a site for a new public health building and related medical purposes exclusively. The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Commissioner Henry Walker and unanimously passed. A delegation of citizens from the Hillsborough area were present.. Mrs. Alfred Engstrom was spokesman for the group and she voiced the group's opposition to the style of architecture being used for the new proposed Health Center. The delegation requested that a conference with the Architect, County Officials, and Town Planning Board members be arranged in order that this matter might be further discussed, with particular emphasis, being made for the possibility of changing the exterior design of the proposed Health Building. The County Administrator was directed to arrange a time and date for said meeting. Doctor C. T. Kaylor, and Mrs. Nell Andrews, members of the County Planning Boar( and Harry Palmer, Senior Regionkl Planner of the Research Planning Commission appeared before the Board. Discussion ensued concerning a Planning Study now being undertaken by the Planning Board in the Chapel Hill Township area. Drafts -and maps of the proposed area and ordinance were presented and reviewed by the Hoard. Sectiol Seven of the proposed ordinance was further discussed. The members of the Planning Board were requested-to have Section seven of the proposed ordinance placed into print and to also devise some method of reducing the size of the maps in order that copies of said maps might also be printed. The Board requested further that once these items had been completed they would upon presentation by the Planning Hoard be ready to receive the proposed ordinance. Tom Rose, Consulting Engineer of the Lake Orange Project, presented the. following letter concerning the proposed lake: "In a previous report that was based entirely upon information furnished by Mr. W. C. Ray, I stated that Lake Orange would have an area of 150 acres and storage volume of 490 million gallons, and would supply a daily draft of 3.9 million gallons, Incomplete air and ground surveys to date substantially confirm the above figures. From actual measurements taken from a partially completed topographic map we find that the lake would cover 143 acres and have a volume of 471.2 million gallons. These figures are within 5% of the original estimate and such a lake would still be sufficient to furnish a raw water supply of 3.9 million gallons per day. The following figures covering estimated costs of developing this lake are based on the assumption that there is available within the area a sufficient supply of proper material for an earth dam. This soil should be of an impervious nature, suitable for compaction by rolling. The project would require a gate house just above the dam and a supply pipe through the dam to control and supply water when the lake level is below the spillway elevation. At the west end of the dam there would be a chute type spillway lined with concrete for most of its length. The estimated cost is as follows: Clearing Lake Area Clearing and Grubbing Earth Excavation Rock Excavation Embankment Flood Control Concrete Spillway Gate House 36" R.C.

Mr. Rose stated further that he felt the Lake Orange Project was feasable. Commissioner Cleveland moved that the Board direct Mr. Rose to proceed with a soil investigation of the proposed dam site for Lake Orange. Commissioner Walker seconded the motion, and same was declared passed by Chairman Bennett. There being no further business to come before the Board the meeting was adjourned to meet again Monday, August 22, 1966 at 7:30 P.M. in the Commissioners Room at the Courthouse in Hillsborough.
