H. COMMITTEE ON FEASIBILITY AND TIMING FOR PLANNING A NEW HIGH
SCHOOL
Chairman Carey outlined his proposal for establishing a joint
group of elected officials from each school Board and the County
Commissioners to study and make recommendations on the need for and
feasibility of the development of a new high school for joint use by
both school systems. The main question is where should the new high
school be located so it could be used by all children in the County.
Dr. Gerry House indicated that Chapel Hill-Carrboro will need a new high
school by 1996. It has not been projected by Orange County when they
may need a new high school. Chair Carey stated that the projected
school population figures need to be looked at and the need for space
identified. It was the consensus of the Board to direct the Bond
Committee to plan for funding one high school. Commissioner Willhoit
feels that there are many questions about equity that will make it
difficult to sell a bond referendum without these questions first being
answered. John Link suggested that he meet with the two Superintendents
to answer some of the questions about equity prior to the committee
meeting.
It was decided that the committee of six elected officials
would meet and make recommendations to each respective Board by early
spring addressing the following areas:
1. options available to meet the need in Orange County for
additional high school space
2. when additional high school space will be needed and number
of students served
3. the cost associated with options identified for new space
and the advantages and disadvantages of each
4. optional governance structures and the legal basis of each
under current state law
I. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS - REPAIR AREA FOR SEPTIC
SYSTEMS
This presentation was made by Planning Director Marvin
Collins. He asked that the Board consider the approval of a proposed
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to clarify the application of Article
6.25.7 to existing lots, dwellings, and uses. The current standards
would prevent existing lots with no suitable repair area, and users with
failing septic systems and no suitable repair area on the same lot from
locating nitrification fields on a separate lot. This amendment would
permit a lot owner to build a four or more bedroom house on an existing
13
one-acre lot and locate a septic system and a repair area on an adjacent
lot if necessary. The proposed amendments were presented at public
hearing on May 29, 1990. No comments were received which would warrant
changes to the proposed amendments. The Planning Board considered the
amendments at its June 18, 1990 meeting and recommended approval of the
proposals.
A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by
Commissioner Insko, to approve the proposed amendments per the Planning
Board recommendation.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
J. NEW REVENUE ITEMS RATIFIED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Commissioner Gordon asked that the County Manager start
working on implementation of new revenue items including the impact fee

he will place this item on the August 5, 1991 agenda.
