Mr. Burnham began a review of the proposed Application and he informed the Board that the Community Development Task Force was being reactivated for the purpose of reviewing the Grant Application. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Walker suggested that the Board take no action on the Application until same could be reviewed by the Task Force and their recommendations received by the Bvard. _ Tt was pointed out that the Town of Hillsborough had made applica- tion for the entire allocation of the Grant. Commissioner Walker stated that it was his understanding that Mayor Cates' proposal was to use the funds for water and sewer installa- tions. David Wagner requested permission to speak in behalf of the Hillsborough request. Chairman Garrett granted Mr. Wagner permission to address the Board. He stated that he was familiar with the plans of Hillsborough and if anyone present could show that these monies could be s~ used in a better way, than he and the citizens of the Fairview Community would be more than willing to listen.

Barbour asked the Board to "plunge into the matter" and then the audience could determine how they felt about the situation. Commissioner Jan Pinney presented the following resolution: "BE IT RESOLVED that since the State of North Carolina's three (3) plans to develop the Eno River State Park does not protect and preserve the Eno River Valley that the Orange County Board of Commissioners are in opposition to the plans and we do' hereby respectively request that should the State decide to pur-' sue the proposed Eno River State Park that they give specific con- sideration to the rights of the property owners along the Eno River. THIS THE SIXTEENTH DAX OF SEPTEMBER, 1975." Commissioner Pinney moved for the adoption of the presented Resolu- tion. Commissioner Walker seconded the motion. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Gustaveson offered a substitute motion to appoint a five member Task Force that would spend the next three or four months investigating how ,the area of the Eno should be preserved and that each Board member would make one appointment to the Task Force. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Gustaveson amended his substitute motion to read that the Board would appoint a six member Task Force with each Commissioner having one appointment to the Task Force and that the total Board would appoint the Chairman of the Task Force and write the guidelines for the TAsk Force and that these would be presented at the next Monday's meeting.

"BE IT RESOLVED that since the State of North Carolina's three plans presented to the Orange County Commissioners on August 12, 1975 to develop the Eno River State Park do not adequately protect - and preserve the Eno River Valley that the Orange County Board of Cam- missioners are in opposition to the said plans as presented and we do request the State to give specific consideration to the rights of property owners along the Eno River." The Clerk was instructed to send a copy of the adapted Resolution to Secretary James E. Harrington, Secretary of Natural and Economic Resources. Commissioner Gustaveson proposed that a six member Task Force be appointed by the Board to work for the next four months to consider various ways that the Eno Valley can be preserved and that each Commis- sioner make one appointment to this Task Force and that the Board select the Chairman of the Task Force and establish guidelines to be used for the Task Force.

Chairman Garrett spoke in favor of Commissioner Gus±aveson's motion. The Chairman Called for the vote. Voting aye were Commissioner Garrett, Gustaveson, Pinney and Whitted. Voting nay was Commissioner Walker. The Board took a five minute recess. Chairmar_ Garrett referred to Item # 9 on the Ager_da: (A resolution memorializing the life and memory of r4rs. William Geer). "IN 1958 ELIZABETH DANTZLER GEER became totally involved with - the Ghapel Hill Communi*_y effort tc develop an outstanding public library. She served first as Secretary of the Community Study Committee for a Chapel Hill Public Library. Later, when the Library became a reality, she was a volunteer worker, next a part time Librarian, then a full time Librarian and finally Library Director. During Tits. Geer's years of Service, the library grew from its small quarters in a house behind the University Baptist Church to its present facility, often called one of the most beautiful Library buildings in our State. Registered readers increased from $,500 in the early years to more that. 0,000 today. Bov:c circulation increased from 75,000 volumes annually in the beginning to more than one s9 quarter of a million volumes a year today. The growth of this Library could not have been achieved. without the guidance of a person as competent as Mrs. Geer. The community's acceptance of its library could never have been attained without the guiding hand of a warm, friendly, and sensitive leader such as Mrs. Geer. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of Orange County acting in behalf of all the citizens of Orange County expresses its deepest regrets over the untimely passing of ELIZABETH DANTZLER DEER. BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be signed and sealed by the Chairman and each Member of the Board of Commissioners and a copy filed with the permanent records of Orange County." Commissioner Jan Pinney introduced the above mentioned Resolution, and Commissioner Walker seconded the motion that the Resolution be adopted. A11 members of the Board voted aye. The Chairman referred to Item # 8 on the Agenda: (The State Depart- ment of Transportation is ready to rpopose its Secondary Road Plan for Fiscal Xeax 1975-1876 for Orange County.) They have requested the County set a date for a public hearing on this proposal. The Board agreed to schedule the proposed Read Public Hearinq for Thursday, October 9, 1975, at 7:30 p.m., at the Courthouse. The Chairman referred to Item #3 on the Agenda: (The New Hope Rural Volunteer Fire Department has bey letter asked the Board of Commissioners to request the State Department of Transportation to pave the drive lead- ing from the State Road into the Fire Station). Upon motion of Commissioner Pinny, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted that a letter be sent to Mr. Sam Jones, District Engineer, informing him of the Board's action. Chairman Garrett referred to Item #10 on the Agenda: (Report from the County Attorney concerning the proposed transfer of the Northside School property to Orange County.) The County Attorney'stated that he had completed the title to the Northside property and several tracts make up the Northside property. However, several of the trant's descriptions are not adequately, there- fore, he was not able to determine where one tract ends and another begins. Apparently, there has been no dispute about the property since the Chapel Hill Carrboro School System acquired the land. Commissioner Walker inquired who owned the land before the School System acquired it and wasn't the property given for educational purposes only? The County Attorney replied that a Mr. Stroud was the owner of a nine acre tract and that the land was given to the school for educational purposes and that this could create a problem, however, if the School Board wants to convey the property, a survey would have to be made with and without the Stroud property and the County Attorney will then make a decision as to what should be done, whether to include the Stroud pro- perty or exclude the Stroud property in the conveyance. The County Attorney stated that he could not say what the County would be getting into. The County Attorney explained to the Board the phase "Doctrine of color". He stated that once someone applied for title to property, assum- ing there is a basis in the Grantor for having sufficient title to give to someone or not, the person who takes and holds under color of title seven years has obtained title to the property in effect. This is known as "doctrine of color of title for adverse possession". This is effective from conveyance to conveyance. Mr. Coleman stated that he was talking. about property where there was no record of title ownership. The County Attorney spoke of title reversion. He stated tha*_ '70 reversion would appJ.y to the Stroud tract depending on how you use the property as to whether or not it will revert. If used for school purpose - depends on the meaning of the words "school purposes". This could create a serious problem. Mr. CoJ.eman remarked that the status of the title could effect the Grant or System monies. One alternative to be considered is to go into Court and get a declaration stating the a.ntended uses of the property and get a declaratory judgment as to whether or not these uses would be in con- flict with the deed. I3owever, all Stroud Heirs would have to be served -' with this judgment. A survey must be made in order to locate the Stroud property. The County Attorney discussed alternatives which the 3oard could procede with. Discussion ensued as to whether or not a survey would show where the Stroud property is located. The County Attorney stated that he could not say whether a survey would provide this information. The County Attorney asked permission of the Board to talk with the State Department of Human Resources and discuss the present circumstances and see i£ the grant will continue without a survey and as the property title now 'exist. The Board agreed for Mr. Caleman to talk with the Department of Human Resouz-ces and to report back to the Board on the matter. f The County Attorney trough to the Board's attention, on behalf of the Building inspector, the matter of a Building Permit far an Asphalt Plant to be located within the present town limits but outside the present zoning district of the Town of Hillsborough. The Planning Department approved this Building Permit. The Board agreed that they had no discretion in this matter. Items Ldumber 4 and 6 were deferred to a later meeting. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. 03\~.~~~.~~ Flora Garrett, Chairman Betty June Hayes, Clerk _ _ _ ,w.._a ..Y_~..r.~ ~-~.~. __ ...... .. ... _ ..., ... _ _ "~~ • . ~ ~ ~ y.rF~• ~ORt1iv'CUi•1 Or TJir'Df:I2S1'~u~%37:C';G O?:L1'-C;z3 SJxX.
