PROCLAMATION OF WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY Winnie Morgan, Vice-Chair of the Commission for Women made the presentation. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the proclamation for Women's Equality Day as stated below: PROCLAMATION WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY WHEREAS, August 26, 1995, marks the 75th anniversary of the woman suffrage movement's greatest victory: ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and WHEREAS, the amendment reads as follows: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."; and WHEREAS, the Orange County Commission for Women advises the citizens and the Board of Commissioners of Orange County on the status of women in Orange County; and WHEREAS, that status continues to be unequal, especially economically and politically; NOW, THEREFORE, the Orange County Board of Commissioners hereby proclaims Saturday, August 26, 1995 as WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY in commemoration of the suffrage victory and as a reminder of women's continuing efforts towards equality, and hereby urges all citizens to exercise their right to vote and continue to work to guarantee full equality for all women. VOTE: UNANIMOUS B. RESOLUTION - GRANTING CABLEVISION INDUSTRIES THE CONSENT TO TRANSFER CABLE SYSTEM TO TIME WARNER, INC. Cablevision Industries has requested the transfer of its CATV franchise and control of its cable system to Time Warner. Their Franchise with the County requires Board approval before transfer can be executed. The Board must assure that there will be no adverse impact upon subscribers as a result of the transfer. On June 26, 1995, the Board adopted a resolution approving the transfer from CVI to Time Warner. However, there were several issues that were not agreeable to Cablevision. Albert Kittrell indicated that all issues have been resolved except the density mentioned in the resolution of 15 homes per mile. CVI has maintained that this figure be 25. With a density of 15 homes per mile, CVI said that it would take twelve years for them to recover their costs. With a density of 25 homes, it would take two years to recover their cost. Mr. Kittrell noted that the Cable TV Advisory Committee and other representatives of Triangle J. have approved 15 homes per mile. ~~ 3 1 Bob Gwyn, Chair of the Cable TV Advisory Committee, said that 2 Cable TV has two advantages over the increasingly popular direct 3 satellite to home reception. One advantage is that local programming 4 can be accessed through cable and not through satellite and the other 5 advantage is combining telephone with the fiberoptic lines of cable TV. 6 Time Warner is very interested in getting into the telephone business 7 which would offer some competition to the existing telephone carriers. 8 The density issue is not an issue in urban areas where people live 9 close together but is an important issue for people living in the 10 County. The Cable Committee as well as the Cable TV companies have 11 looked at the issue of density and it is now a Board of County 12 Commissioners decision. They have looked at the figures which indicate 13 that fifteen homes per mile would take twelve years to recover their 14 costs. This would require the County to extend the franchise to 15 probably fifteen years to allow the Cable Companies to recover costs. 16 Under North Carolina law, a franchise may be for twenty years so a five 17 year extension could be done. Mr. Gwyn stated that it would be in the 18 best interests of the citizens of Orange County to approve a resolution 19 which stipulates a density of 25 homes per mile. He also noted that 20 Time Warner is about to reach agreement with the Federal Communication 21 Commission to provide programming to schools and upgrade their entire 22 system. 23 Bob Sepe, Cable TV consultant, said that it would take one- 24 acre lots on both sides of the road to get 15 homes per mile. He noted 25 that because of the rapid changes in telecommunications, he would not 26 recommend doing a franchise for twenty years. The resolution presented 27 with this item is a transfer of CVI to Time Warner and also requests a 28 five year extension. They will negotiate for a new franchise sometime 29 this fall so the density is actually an interim density until the new 30 franchise is negotiated. 31 Chair Carey said he supports a density of twenty homes per 32 mile. 33 Marla Dorrel, CVI Regional Vice President in Charge of 34 Government Relations, said that as part of the transfer CVI has the 35 responsibility to obtain the consent of local governments to the 36 transfer and deliver those to Time Warner. She reiterated that this 37 document is an interim step until the renewal franchise is completed. 38 The twenty-five homes per mile provision will give the County a lower 39 threshold with which to begin their negotiations with Time-Warner. She 40 said that people on both sides of the transaction are saying that 41 twenty-five is the lowest they can go, particularly in the interim 42 step. She noted that once cable lines are run, they expect that 50 to 43 60 percent of the homes they pass are homes that will be paying 44 subscribers. They are seeing 35~ in Orange County which makes it even 45 harder to go to a lower density requirement. She believes that in the 46 negotiation process, there is more latitude for lowering the density, 47 than in the interim. She asked that the Board consider this interim 48 measure and approve the resolution with the density of twenty-five 49 homes per mile. She distributed a substitute resolution which is 50 identical to the one in the agenda except the homes per mile is changed 51 to 25 and the language in number five on page three changed from 52 "within twenty-four months" to "at such time that the two systems are 53 merged, then the resulting system will serve all of Orange County". 54 Commissioner Halkiotis emphasized that the Board of County 55 Commissioners have been elected by the people of Orange County to serve 56 and vote in their best interest and representatives from the cable ' 4 1 companies have been hired to serve in their companys' best interest. 2 He has no problem with a density of twenty homes per mile. 3 Ms. Dorrel said that they plan to proceed with the merger and 4 want to serve Orange County. However, if the density is unacceptable, 5 it puts them in a different position which is uncertain at this time. 6 In answer to a question from Commissioner Willhoit, Bob Gwyn 7 said that all other counties and municipalities have agreed to this 8 resolution with a density of fifteen homes per mile. 9 Commissioner Gordon questioned the reasoning for using a 10 density of 25 homes during the interim period since no one knows what 11 the customer reaction would be if the density was set at twenty homes 12 per mile. She suggested doing twenty and seeing if the response would 13 be more positive than the cable company predicted. When entering 14 franchise negotiations, if 20 homes did not work out, the company could 15 present information to the contrary. Ms. Dorrel responded that they 16 have lowered the homes per mile from 30 to 25. 17 Commissioner Willhoit made reference to the fifteen homes per 18 mile in the municipalities with a penetration of .5. If they expect a 19 penetration of 35~ in Orange County, he suggested going with 21.4 homes 20 per mile as the equivalent. He offered this as a compromise which is 21 using the same base as for municipalities. 22 Hugh MacEachern, General Manager of CVI said that the 23 penetration numbers in Orange County are based on how many homes they 24 pass and how many of those people subscribe to the service. The best 25 number they can offer is 25. 26 Bob Sepe explained the deadline provisions and the 27 consequences. If any of the demands made by the Board of County 28 Commissioners seem unreasonable, the resolution could be nullified and 29 the transfer could be approved by the FCC anyway. If approved by the 30 FCC in this manner none of the stipulations in this resolution would be 31 valid. 32 A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by 33 Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the resolution with a change to #5 as 34 stated above and the density stated as 21.4 or more residences per mile 35 as stated in the resolution attached to these minutes on pages 36 37 VOTE: AYES, 3; NOS, 2 (Commissioners Crowther and Gordon) 38 39 40 C. RESOLUTION ADJUSTING UPDATING PERMITTED CABLE RATES 41 A motion was made by Commissioner Crowther, seconded by 42 Commissioner Willhoit to adopt a resolution/order approving adjustments 43 in permitted rates for Cable TV service as stated below: 44 ORDER APPROVING ADJUSTMENTS IN BASIC SERVICE RATES 45 BASED ON EXTERNAL COSTS 46 FCC-1210 47 BY ORANGE COUNTY: 48 WHEREAS, on May 25, 1995, Time Warner Cable, d/b/a Cablevision of 49 Chapel Hill, filed an FCC-1210 Updating Maximum Permitted Rates form 50 for Regulated Cable Services with Orange County. Time Warner's filing 51 covers the first quarter of 1995, but also takes into account 52 inflationary costs incurred during the period of October 1993 through 53 June 1994; 54 WHEREAS, cable operators are allowed to recover inflationary costs 55 during October 1, 1994 through August 31, 1995, based on inflation 56 incurred during October 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994; ' 5 1 WHEREAS, on July 26, 1995 the County received a report from its 2 consultants indicating that Time Warner's said filing was in compliance 3 with Federal Communications Commission procedures, allowing for the 4 adjustment of basic cable service rates based on external cost factors; 5 and 6 WHEREAS, Orange County has authority to regulate basic service rates 7 assessed by Time Warner Cable, Cablevision of Chapel Hill, serving 8 franchise NC-0276, Orange County. 9 IT IS A FINDING: That Time Warner Cable has justified the adjustment of 10 its basic tier service rates based on external cost factors. 11 VOTE: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Halkiotis) 12 13 D.

ITEMS FOR DECISION (REGULAR AGENDA) 8 A. PINEY MOUNTAIN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PETITION 9 John Link sink ummarized the information in the agenda abstract. 10 The Board of County Commissioners was petitioned at its 4 August 1995 11 meeting by the Piney Mountain Homeowners Association to remit the 12 County's costs/charges for providing legal and administrative services 13 for the Piney Mountain wastewater treatment project and grant. 14 Commissioner Halkiotis said that he feels the County has an 15 obligation to the people in Piney Mountain who purchased their homes in 16 good faith and were cheated by those who built the systems. 17 Commissioner Gordon questioned why the taxpayers in Orange 18 County should pay these costs. Those that live in water and sewer 19 service areas pay fees and those in the County are responsible for 20 their own infrastructure. Orange County does not provide this 21 infrastructure nor pay the cost of the septic system or well. 22 Furthermore, the County made the difficult decision to put a sewer-line 23 through the Rural Buffer to serve the Piney Mountain development. The 24 homeowners agreed to pay all of the costs for this project upfront and 25 she feels the homeowners should honor the original agreement. 26 Chair Carey said that he feels the County did a great job in 27 helping these citizens in a crisis situation that was not caused by the 28 County. The citizens will realize the return on their investment when 29 their homes are sold. 30 Commissioner Crowther said he would not want to change the 31 agreement until everything is complete. 32 Commissioner Willhoit noted that he can see a basis for 33 charging for the legal fees because that is a direct expense the County 34 has in the process. However, the staff time is a function of County 35 government and something the County does for a number of citizens and 36 should not be charged. 37 Commissioner Willhoit made a motion to charge the Piney 38 Mountain Homeowners Association for only the direct legal fees that 39 were incurred after starting the grant process. Commissioner Halkiotis 40 seconded the motion. 41 VOTE: AYES, 2; NOS, 3 (Commissioners Carey, Gordon and Willhoit) 42 A motion was made by Commissioner Crowther, seconded by 43 Commissioner Gordon that the Board honor the original agreement and 44 contract with the Piney Mountain Homeowners Association which stated 45 their responsibility for these costs. 46 VOTE: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Halkiotis) 47 48 B. ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT - Z-4-95 DONALD KEITH GODWIN 49 The area proposed to be rezoned is located at the northwest 50 corner of Rogers Road and Tallyho Trail. The property consists of one 51 parcel containing 13.6 acres. Planner Mary Willis said that in 52 response to the concern about drainage, that the drainage from the area 53 proposed for rezoning goes to the west and the problem area is to the 54 south. The runoff from the proposed rezoning will not affect the 55 property. The small area plan for this area will be presented at the 9 1 Joint Planning Area meeting scheduled for October 11, 1995. In answer 2 to a question from Commissioner Willhoit about the performance 3 standard, Ms. Willis said that the standard stipulates that the 4 proposed rate of flow from development must not be increased by the 5 proposed development. There is no way to correct a problem after the 6 fact if it does not meet the standards. 7 A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by 8 Commissioner Crowther to approve the rezoning as requested by Donald 9 Keith Godwin for property owned by Thomas Walker and Gail Harris 10 including an amendment to both the Orange County Zoning Atlas and the 11 Carrboro Zoning Map. 12 VOTE: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Gordon) 13 14 15 X. REPORTS 16 A. COMPLAINT - JIM CONNORS PROPERTY/DAIRYLAND ESTATES 17 Planning Director Marvin Collins made reference to a 18 complaint from Jim Gray about Jimmy Connors operating an illegal 19 landfill in Dairyland Estates. Mr. Collins said that after an 20 inspection of the property in question, it appears that Connors has 21 cleared about two-thirds of the site over the last two years. Dirt 22 from the McDougle Middle School site is being hauled by contract 23 haulers to Mr. Connors' property for the purpose of constructing a pond 24 dam. The site inspection provided no evidence of any landfilling 25 activity, only the construction of a pond and associated dam. There is 26 no zoning violation. He has ceased hauling except for some stone he 27 plans to use for landscape purposes. Mr. Connor will need an Erosion 28 Control permit and he may need a dam permit. 29 Erosion Control Supervisor Warren Faircloth will work with 30 Mr. Connor on sizing the drainage basin that would drain through the 31 pond and encourage him to prepare a plan for the dam. He told Mr. 32 Connor about the permits he will need and about the construction 33 standards required for the development of this pond. Mr. Connor should 34 have had an Erosion Control permit before he began this activity. It 35 is doubtful if he will bring any additional dirt into the area. Mr. 36 Connor is not certain how large the pond will be or where the dam will 37 be located. Mr. Faircloth will meet with Mr. Connor again next week as 38 well as his neighbor and a surveyor. Mr. Connor realizes that he needs 39 more definite plans for this pond which will be an acre or larger and 40 is willing to do what is necessary for proper drainage. 41 42 B. HUNTING ORDINANCE REVIEW 43 The Board received information on the issues identified by 44 the Hunting & Fishing Ordinance Committee as possible amendments to the 45 current ordinance as listed in the agenda abstract. 46 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by 47 Commissioner Crowther to receive the report as information and to set 48 October 2, 1995 as the date to receive public comments on the ideas 49 proposed in the report and to ask that the members of the Hunting & 50 Fishing Ordinance Committee be present at the public hearing and that 51 this Committee make specific proposals on and changes to the Ordinance 52 after considering citizen comments. 53 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 54 55 56 ' 10 1 C.
