He stated that the State DOT did not have specifica- tions relating to a rock island in the middle of a cul-de-sac and since there are no standards, the DOT has pat approved the cul'de-sac. He asked that the Board send a letter of endorsement to the•Department of Transportation regarding these two requests. Commissioner Pinney moved that the Board endorse the petitions pre- sented by Mr. High: a) for addition of 1.1+ miles of roadway in Stoneybrook Subdivision to the State Highway System, and b) an exception to certain requirements relating to a cul-de-sac on Fox Run. Commissioner [balker seconded the motion.

L. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. The Clerk was instructed to forward a letter to Sam Jones, District Engineer, with a copy to James Watkins, Division Engineer for the Department of Tr.ansportatio.n. Item 13: Mr. S. G. Barbour will comment concerning actions of South- eastern Surveys, Tnc., a surveying company under contract with the U. S. Corps of Engineers to survey for a flood insurance map of Orange County.

Upon motion of Commissioner walker, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to forward a letter to Southeastern Surv~yser~nc., with a copy to the Army Corps of Engineers, requesting that the p op Y rights of private citizens in Orange County be respected and if possible, that permission to enter upon the property of private citizens be obtained prior to such entrance. Item 14: Representatives of Orange County tobacco farmers will re- quest the Orange County Board of Commissioners enact a resolution directed to the President of the United States, our Senators and Congressman re- questing they take all possible action to prevent'Secretary Califano of the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare from continuing his attacks on the American tobacco industry. Chairman Whitted recognized Oscar Compton, a tobacco farmer, and a _ member of the Ruritan Club. Mr. Compton stated the Ruritan Club and members of the tobacco farming community, was asking the Board to endorse the agenda attached resolution or a similar resolution, objecting to Mr. Califano's approach to the tobacco industry. He stated that tobacco did play a part in the .economy of the County and a large part in the economy ' of the State. He stated that it was estimated that tobacco would bring in 1.3 billion dollars to the five flu-cured states of Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Mr. Compton stated that Secretary Califano has proposed to use 23 million dollars this year to discourage the use of tobacco, and was asking for 30 million dollars for next year. He stated the Mr. Califano's approach should be directed toward research to find out if tobacco is hazardous to good health, and if so, what elements in tobacco contribute to this. He added that he felt facts were not available to prove tobacco was a contri- buting cause of cancer. Commissioner t9illhoit stated that statistics relating cigarette smok- ing with adverse health effects are sufficient, however, he felt the real problem has to do with the tobacco farmer and the economy. He stated that he could not support this resolution, but would support a resolution which encouraged Secretary Califano to develop a use of funds for research of the contents of tobacco which may be harmful to health. Commissioner Walker stated that he supported the resolution and he then moved that the resolution be adopted in its present form. Further discussion ensued concerning Secretary Califano's proposed educational program. Mr. Compson stated that Mr. Califano's plans were to close research institutes where research of tobacco is being conducted. It was pointed out that income from tobacco last year in Orange County was approximately ten million dollars. Commissioner Gustaveson stated one way to improve the health status of citizens is to change their life syle, and smoking has became a way of life for many people. He added that he felt one responsibility of Secretary Califano is to make people aware of long term health problems, and that the A ~i .'~ L. .- •- .~ cost of health care could be cut sufficiently if areas of potential health hazards could be identified. Chairman whitted stated he felt the Board must look after what he feels is a significant part of the economy of the County. The effects of a pro- gram to educate people regarding smoking would be great upon the State and the County, if a program was not developed to fill in the economy gaps created by less smokers. Mr. Whitted pointed out other health hazards which could be looked at, which he stated is driving the cost of health care up. The Chairman stated he would support the resolution except for the last paragraph. Chairman Whitted declared the motion of Commissioner Walker died for lack of a second. Commissioner Pinney stated he felt the resolution needed to be regorked. He added that he felt it was important that the Board be un- animous in their vote on the resolution. Mr. Pinney then suggested the resolution be reworded in order that all members to the Board might be in agreement. This item will appear on the February 21st agenda. Mr. Compton will be sent a copy of the resolution prior to that meeting. Item 4: The Manager recommends the County accept a grant of $2,800 offered by the State Department of Human Resources to suppox't cost of maternity care for selected patients.

The County Manager informed the Board that a proposal has been approved by the County Health Board. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to accept the Department of Human Resources grant of $2,800 to support cast of maternity care for selected patients. Item 5: The Manager recommends a budget amendment implementing new positions and fund transfers for the Health Department previously approved by the Board of Commissioners be adopted.

The agenda attachment stated that Peat, Marwich, and Mitchell has sub- mitted a proposal to audit all Orange County Funds for the 1977-78 fiscal year for the sum of $19,000. Their contract for the fiscal year just com- pleted required essentially the same service and was performed for $18,000. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve the proposal for audit of County 1977- . 1978 fiscal year records as submitted by Peat, Marwick, and Mitchell at a cost of $19,000. Item 9: The County Attorney will review a legal issue entitled, "In Regard: Plywood Antitrust Litigation". Mr. Gledhill stated that some solftwood plywood manufactors are being sued claiming there are antitrust problems. The County has since 1963 pur- chased some softwoed plywood and as purchaser become members of a class of people who have been damaged by the antitrust problem. He stated the County would be a part of the class suit unless otherwise stipulated before March 10, 1978. If no action is taken, the County becomes a part of the class and would tlet same portion of the monies obtained through the litiga- tion. The only expense to the County will be a research of the records since 1963 by staff members to find out what softwood plywood has been pur- chased. He then recommended to the Board that the County stay under the class action status. Upon motion of Cammissoner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that Orange County remain a member of the Class Action suit. The County Attorney informed the Board of a Declaratory Judgment Action which has been brought by the E & M Enterprises. The action is to estab- list whether the law which states there can be no more than one adult type entertainment in one establishment is constitutional or not. The Orange County Sheriff has been named as a defendent in this action. He stated that until this law is declared unconstitutional, the Sheriff must enforce the law. , Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to authorize the County Attorney to do whatever is necessary in behalf of the sheriff in his role of upholding the laws of Orange County. The County Attorney was asked to discuss the proposed Insulation Ordinance which had previously been presented to the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Gledhill stated the Ordinance was similar to the proposal presented by the County Commissioners Association. Some changes have been made as indicated by members of the Board of Commissioners. The County Attorney proceeded to review with the Board the Insulation Ordinance. The County Commissioners requested the County Attorney clarify the language under Section IX - A- Purchase of Bonds. The Insulation Ordinance will be discussed further as soon as the Attorney drafts new language for Section IX.

The Finance Director informed the Board that the tax collection was about identical to last year's collection, which was not too good, however, the County Manager stated that percentagewise, this year is an improvement over last year. He further stated that the Tax Collector suggested June 5, 1978 be scheduled as the date of the tax lien sale. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to schedule June 5, 1978 as the date of the tax lien sale. The Board briefly discussed the Art School but took no action. The Board adjourned for lunch at this point in the meeting.

Item 11: Plats for Consideration a) Carol Oldham - Minor Subdivision - This plat shows a minor sub- division with a Class C private road originally approved in December of 1976. The property owner is requesting a one year extension of time to complete the road. The Planning Board recommends a six month extension be granted. Eddie Kirk, a member of the Planning Staff, stated that Ms. Oldham is requesting a hardship variance for an extension of time due to recent weather conditions which has prevented construction of the road. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to grant a six month extension according to the recommendation of the Planning Board. b) Rollingwood, Section 5 - Final Plat. This plat depicts exten- sion of an old subdivision and was reviewed in the preliminary phase by the Board of Commissioners a short while ago. The plat changes recom- mended by the Commissioners at that time have been implemented. The Health Department has declined septic tank approval of two lots #52 and 53. The Planning Board recommends approval of the subdivision with the reservation that the subdivision plat be redrawn to show lots 52 and 53 not suitable for subsurface sewage disposal. Mr. Kirk stated that the Erosion Control Officer has reviewed this plat and recommended a 30 foot drainage easement to go with the contours of the land and a 50 foot stream buffer on either side of the stream. The road has been shortened and now does not dead end into the stream. The Department of Transportation has approved the road. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to appzave the final plat o£ Rollingwood, Section 5 with the reservation that the subdivision plat be redrawn to show Lots 52 and 53 labeled "Of Restrictive Development Potential because of unsuit- ability of septic tanks". l c) Greenbxiar Estates - Final Plat - This subdivision of six lots in Eno Township was approved in August of 1977 subject to railroad approval for a private crossing. This approval was denied by the railroad, therefore, the plat is being resubmitted showing a new access. The Planning Board has approved the revised plat. Mr. Kirk informed the Board that a 50 foot buffer was recommended along both sides of a stream crossing lots 4, 5, and 6. Questions which the Board previously had asked were in regard to two entrances into the Subdivision. One entrance was through the Whispering Pines Subdivision and another is proposed to cross a railroad crossing into the subdivision. Southern Railroad has suggested this crossing be closed, yet has done some improvement to the crossing. It was pointed out that property owners of land beyond Greenbriar Estates probably owned an easement, which would prevent the closing of the railroad crossing. .- L ~_ Mr. Freeland, developer of the property, stated he would perfer to have access to his property over'the railroad crossing if possible. Commissioner Gustaveson objected to approving the entrance Aver the railroad crossing as being a hazardous entrance. Commissioner Walker moved that the Greenbriar Estates final plat be approved with the existing right of way across the railroad tracks. Commissioner Pinney seconded the motion and further discussion ensued. Tt was pointed out that if an easement did exist for the property owners using the railroad crossing, the County Commissioners could not close the crossing. Chairman [whitted stated he felt if the easement is to continue, the roads leading to the crossing should be improved to meet the County Subdivision Standards. . The Chairman called for a vote on Commissioner [walker's motion that ' the plat be approved with the existing right of way across the railroad tracks. y Commissioner Pinney then withdrew his second to P4r. Walker's motion, as he did not clearly understand the motion. The Chairman declared the motion of Mr. Walker died for lack of a second. Commissioner Pinney moved that the plat.be approved with both entrances into the subdivision. This motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Willhoit returned to the meetin at this point. 2t was pointed out by the Planning Staff that.the proposed road through the Whispering Pines Subdivision would be difficult to build due to condi- tions of the land. Commissioner Pinney moved to approve the right of way across the rail- ... road tracks. Commissioner Walker seconded the motion. The Chairman called for a vote an the motion and voting aye were Com- missioners Pinney, Walker, and Whitted. Voting nay were Commissioners •Willhoit and Gustaveson. The motion was declared passed. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was further moved and adopted to follow the Planning Staff's recommenda- tion that a 50 foot buffer strip be .observed along the stream. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner twalker, it was then moved and adopted to require the developer of this property to erect railroad warning signs on each side of the railroad crossing. d) Glen Parrish: This is in reality a minor subdivision of 1.6 acres from a twenty-five acre tract. The property owner is requesting a variance from the sixty foot right of way requirement. The Planning Board recommends the plat indicate a sixty foot right of way in front of Mr. Parrish's pro- . party. Mr. Kirk explained to the Board that the property of Mr. Parrish is located just off the Bethel Church Road in Chapel Hill Township. Mr. Parrish is requesting a 30 foot variance for the private road as he cannot obtain a 60 foot easement. The Health Department and the Erosion Control Officer have approved this property. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissa.oner [walker, it was moved and adopted to approve the preliminary plat of Glen Parrish granting a 30 foot variance right of way, but with the requited 60 foot right of way in front of the Parrish property. e) Timberlyne - Phase IT - This subdivision was considered at the Board's January meeting and referred back to the Chapel Hill Planning Board for additional comment. Their comments are attached and will be reviewed by Mr. Minis. The Acting Planning Director informed ishe Board that Timberlyne was approved several years ago as being developed on septic tanks. It is now being resubmitted as a development on sewer. r- , ~:. Eddie Kirk proceeded to review with the Board recommendations submitted by the Chapel Hill Planning Board which are subject to that Board's approval. 1. That storm and sanitary sewer easements be dedicated as required. by the County Manager in consultation with the Town Engineer for Chapel Hill. The Erosion Control Officer stated that the storm water easement would be added to the plat. The storm water management plan is for a 10 year storm and will also be indicated on the plat. 2. That the street. labeled "Aspen Drive" be connected with Kingston _ Court be a paved road dedicated as a public right of way. Mr. Kirk stated Kingston Court in the Cedar Hills Subdivision was built to State standards as would Aspen Drive and as recommended by the Town of Chapel Hill. 3. That streets be designed and constructed to N. C. State Depart- ment of Transportation standards and be approved by the State. The streets in the subdivision are to be built without curb and gutter. 4. That the location and installation of fire hydrants be approved by the County Manager in consultation with the Chapel Hill Fire Department. 5. That all utilities, including distribution and feeder lines be placed underground. 6. That the design and construction of the water system be to the standards of OWASA. 7. That street names not be duplicates of existing street names in the Chapel Hill Township area. The Board discussed the possibility of renaming Kingston Court tc Aspen Drive since both streets connect. 8. That all lots have a minimum area of 20,000 square feet. " This has been accomplished except for Lot #17 which will be design- ated as "open space". 9. That all lots connecting onto the sanitary sewer system be serviced by gravity flow and individual pumps for each unit shall not be permitted except that a field survey shall be done on Lots 2,3,4, and 5, and that if such survey indicates one or more of these lots cannot be served by gravity flow, the County Manager in consulta- tion with the Chapel Hill Town Engineer can authorize the use of individual pumps. 10. That prior to paving streets, utility service laterals shall be stubbed out to the front property line of each lot. Sanitary sewer laterals shall be capped-off above ground. Mr. Kirk stated that all of the above recommendation have been agree. to by the developer of Timberlyne Phase II. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that recommendation Number 11 be the recommendation of the Erosion Control Officer regarding the storm water management plan. The Erosion Control Officer stated that a basic problem is the maintenance of the impoundment of storm water. The Town of Chapel Hill does not want the responsibility, however, this responsibility could be left to the Homeowners Association for upkeep. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to approve the preliminary plat of Timberlyne, Phase II, subject to the ten recommendations from the Town of Chanel Hill, and subject to the recommendation that a maintenance agreement for management of storm water be drawn anc~ presented when the plat is re- viewed for final approval. Item 10: The Manager submits the budget calendar for the 1978-79 fiscal year far the Board's consideration. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested the date of the budget public hearing be changed to an earlier date. The County Manager suggested the calendar be reviewed by the Board and action which might be necessary be taken at another time. Commissioner Gustaveson informed the Board the Human Services Sub- committee an Funding had prepared a joint application for funding requests to be reviewed. The County Manager informed the BoaonsoredhbyMthehAgricultural1Depart- _ County Manager/Commissioners Meeting, sp ment and to be held at N. C. State University in Raleigh. The National Legislative Conference is scheduled for March 12 thru 15, 1978 in Washington, D. C. Chairman Whitted asked the Board to discuss the requests of JOCCA and COA for endorsement of application to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a grant to purchase passenger vans. He stated both agencies have made request for the same monies, and a local match of funds is necessary. Commissioner Willhoit stated that JOCCA had a need for a replacement vehicle, and he moved that the Board send letters of endorsement to bath JOCCA and COA. This motion died for lack of a second. It was pointed out the need for better coordination of transportation vehicles, and that the Human Services Subcommittee should serve as a clear- inghouse for this type request. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson it was moved and adopted to send letters to JOCCA and COA endorsing the grant application but indicating that the endorsement is not necessarily a commitment of local funds. The letters should point out the fact that the Human Services Subcommittee serves as a clearinghouse for projects of this type. The County Manager told the Beard of a request for a meeting by Mr. Bill Hupman of the Town of Mebane regarding the adoption of water and sewer policies relating to future industry in the area. This item will appear on the February 21st agenda. The Finance Director commented on a recent trip to New York and his talks with the rating agencies of Standards and Poors, and the firm of Maodys. Standards and Poors has rated Orange County as "AA", while Moodys has rated us "A-1". He stated that the County was in goad position for sale of bonds on February 7, 1978. Mr. Gattis asked the Board to schedule a date to talk with John Watkins of the Department of Transportation about the use of bond monies for the 1978-1979 Secondary Roads Program. The first Monday in March was scheduled for this meeting. The County Commissioners will meet with the County Health Board on Thursday, February 9, 1978. Items to be discussed are: Where the Health Board is now and how it needs to proceed, setting of fee schedules, review the relationship between the Commissioners and the Health Board and the relationship between the Health Director and the Health Board and the County Commissioners. The County Attorney reviewed changes proposed for the Insulation Ordinance. He suggested that Section IX be changed to Section VIII and that the section dealing with Permits come after the Bond Section. Section V222 (a) shall read as follows: "Before a license shall be issued to any applicant, the applicant shall post a bond in the amount of $1000 with Orange County which provides a principal amount of $1000 per insulation installation project for the purpose set fazth in sub-section (b) of this section." Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson it was moved and adopted to approve the Insulation Ordinance.
