Planning Director Marvin Collins explained that clarification fs
needed on the type of interior street that will serve the Fiaanesteac] Road
Apartment project. Two different conditions were adopted by the Board: (1) the
Chapel Hi11 recommendation that the road be public and built to fawn standards,
and (2) the Orange County Planning Board's condition that it be a private road.
Philip Post, representative of the developer, indicated the
preference of the developer is that the road be private, but if the choice is
between the Town of Chapel Hill and state standards, tte would prefer state
standards so that the road can be dedicated upon coanpletion provided the
required petition is filed .accordingly. He felt the city may not be in a
position to annex the property immediately upon ccaapletion and there would be a
time span between when the road would be finished and when the town took it
over.
Chair Willhoit pointed out that it was the intent to adopk the towns'
reaoamnendation.
Motion was made by Coa~eaissioner Marshall, secorr7ed by Commissioner
Carey to clarify the intent of the Board that the proposed interior street
serving the Homestead Road Apartment Project be a public road built to the Town
of Chapel Hill standards.

descriptive narrative)
Marvin Collins presented five (5) zon9.ng Atlas amendments for Cheeks
Township and reiterated the Planning Board reca~m~endation. He indicated that
since the staff rec~carn~endation had been presented at public hearing, the owners
of the Prange Investors Corporation have clear-cut the remaining portion of the
site including the 100 foot buffer strip. Also the increased traffic volume
impacts an ~ckhorn Read to a greater extent than expected since the opening of
the "Flea Market". Mr. Collins reversed the staff's position and recom[[ended
denial of the rezoning for Orange Investors Corporation. Rhis would leave this
property in an AR classification whereby the subject may sutrnit a planned
development application. At that time, the Planning Staff can address the
wncems for the 100 foot buffer which is required in the Major Transportation
Corridor and also the increased traffic on Buckhorn IaQad.

Walker to approve the recamzrendation of the Plannine Board for the Orange Truss
C~'-y.
Ceaim~issioner Lloyd indicated he favored to amend to rezone rather
than the use continuing to be nonconforming. He felt the Company should be
allowed to rebuild in case of oaanp].ete destruction. He opposed putting a
stipulation on the property that would prohibit ft from being rebuilt to its
present size.
Cprrunissioner Carey noted that when the building permit was issued the
public hearing on this zoning ordinance had been held already and the owners
had been advised that the use might be nonconformi ~,.

of similar and ~~aatible uses. By leaving the use nonconforming, other
similar or compatible uses would not be encouraged.
