296 <br />Approved 10/1/08 <br />56 Renee Price: I do have one more comment. I don't know if I feel totally comfortable with saying that all comments <br />57 have received thorough consideration. Certainly equal, but do we want to say that? <br />58 <br />59 Bernadette Pelissier: I read them all more than once. <br />60 <br />61 Renee Price: As long as we all have. <br />62 <br />63 Larry Wright: I think that one exception could be is not due to staff problems, nor to Planning Board problems, but I <br />64 believe that it was the Montessori application, that it got in late and the comments came in late and we only had time <br />65 to scan them. <br />66 <br />67 Craufurd Goodwin: ~ But this is only dealing with the comprehensive plan. <br />68 <br />69 Larry Wright: I stand corrected. <br />70 <br />71 The Board went through the table and made the following comments and proposed changes:' <br />72 <br />73 Craufurd Goodwin: Are you going to present to the County Commissioners, the complete final report and these <br />74 corrections? <br />75 <br />76 Tom Altieri: I am not going to go into any detail necessarily about the content of the plan. I hope they have had the <br />77 opportunity to read it and it has been presented in general at the two (2) public hearings. 1 will provide them some <br />78 type of presentation about the table and the process, explain how the table is to be used in conjunction with the text, <br />79 and that there are attachments to the table, also next steps. I think they will want to take time to convey to staff what <br />$0 changes they would like to see made and have some discussion, they haven't had that yet so my presentation will be <br />81 very short. <br />82 <br />83 Bernadette Pelissier: The new objective that was added here, Item 33, Page 5-39, Line 47, I am not sure that we <br />84 would review the land use ordinances and amend as needed. That's like saying oh, we'll just do whatever the <br />85 university wants and (,;don`t want to imply that at all. That's how it read to me I really don'tlike this objective. <br />86 <br />87 Jay Bryan: I agree with you. <br />88 <br />89 Craufurd Goodwin: I thought it was exactly the opposite. I mistook it. <br />90 <br />91 Larry Wright: This section, limit sprawl, preserves a community's rural character; land use conflicts and supports a <br />92 balanced transportation system. So we're talking in terms of a response to? <br />93 <br />94 Craufurd Goodwin: Can you tell us what it means Tom? <br />95 <br />96 Tom Altieri: I wrote this draft objective,. it wasn't in the spirit of trying to fend it off or to accommodate these projects, <br />97 it was more in the spirit of these pretty. significant development proposals that we know may becoming and we need <br />98 to pay attention and make. sure that we plan accordingly. That may mean adjusting our ordinances to make sure that <br />99 it goes in an appropriate area or it may mean if it goes in a certain that we need to then do some planning around it to <br />100 limit potential land use conflicts. Carolina North is a big project and will have impacts well beyond its boundaries. <br />101 That's the spirit in which it was written and if it doesn't say that, maybe we need to look at some different language. <br />102. <br />103 Jay Bryan: I think from our point of view its related to how best to protect the overall interest of the County residents. <br />104 <br />105 Torn Altieri: May I suggest a proposed revision, rather than at the end saying and amend if needed, would it be <br />106 better to say plan accordingly. <br />107 <br />108 Craufurd Goodwin: Or review County land use ordinance to protect the interest of all citizens of Orange County. <br />109 <br />
