Eli <br />Joel Knight: Without the 4.73 acres, it still meets all the standards for open space? <br />Glenn Bowles: Yes. It has less than 33% which does not apply. <br />MOTION made by Judith Wegner to approve the amended preliminary plat to delete the 4.73 acres. <br />Seconded by Joel Knight. <br />Renee Price: If they are conveying the land to the Eno River Association, we have nothing to do with that at <br />this point? <br />Glenn Bowles: Correct. <br />Renee Price: The Historic Preservation would have to appeal to the state to have that protected. <br />Judith Wegner: At least it is not being developed. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Would the normal process be to wait until a conveyance and then move for approval? <br />Glenn Bowles: Our attorney has suggested we do it the other way. Unfortunately, the attorney is not here <br />but he suggested conveyance occur after Board of County Commissioners approval. <br />Robin Jacobs: I .talked with Goeff, the feeling was that even though it could legally do it that way, it screws <br />up the process as far as the subdivision, the thought it was cleaner this way. Our goal for this is to get it <br />done before the end of the year. <br />Renee Price: If they don't have the money, will this happen? <br />Robin Jacobs: I am the Executive Director of the Eno River Association. The situation is that right this <br />minute; you cannot get a development loan for something like this. If the subdivision is approved, they have <br />a period of time to do that, in order to transfer the property to us..... <br />Renee Price: Are we approving a plat that may not happen. <br />Brian Crawford: I am not sure that is relevant. <br />Glenn Bowles: If they can't go forward, they have one year. <br />Larry Wright: I am not sure what is before us other than this change to move ahead and let the small <br />acreage be protected and at a later date go on with the development. <br />Judith Wegner: We are modifying the plat by saying that this segment out. Nothing else changes in the <br />package. <br />Larry Wright: Are we making on a motion on all this information. <br />Glenn Bowles: All the other information is background information. <br />Larry Wright: What about the letter from the Historic Preservation? <br />Joel Knight: This is concerning the cemetery area that will go to the Eno River. <br />
