December 21, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. in the OWASA community meeting room-in
Carrboro, North Carolina.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chair Moses Carey, Jr., and Commissioners
Alice M. Gordon, Stephen H. Halkiotis, Verla C. Insko and Don Willhoit.
COUNTY ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill
COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: Assistant County Managers Albert Kittrell and

Commission for Women Lucy Lewis, Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass, Planner David
Stancil, Major Don Truelove, and Planner Mary Willis
NOTE: ALL ITEMS REFERRED TO IN THESE MINUTES ARE IN THE PERMANENT AGENDA FILE
IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
1. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA
Item VIII-G was deleted from the agenda. An agreement has been reached
to correct the violation on or before January 1, 1994.
Commissioner Gordon asked to reschedule item IX-C dealing with the
Economic Development Districts until a work session can be held in January.
She feels that the Board needs time to discuss the Permitted Use Table for
each district and also the design standards which have changed. She feels
`,hat a cost benefit analysis needs to be done. She did not realize that the
uses being eliminated would not be able to go through the Special Use Permit
process. She noted that the node in Durham has specific procedures in place
to get the result they want.
Commissioner Willhoit stated he would like to leave this on the agenda
so that he can make some proposals and get them on the table and talk about
public process.
Commissioner Insko stated her desire to postpone this item or at least
limit discussion until a work session can be held. She feels the Board has
put a lot of stress on the staff. -Also, the design standards are piecemeal-
and she would like additional time to study them.
Chair Carey suggested proceeding with the watershed protection and the
other items on the agenda and discuss the EDDs last on the agenda.
Commissioner Halkiotis asked that item VIII-E "Pyrotechnics. Permit" be
removed from the Consent Agenda and considered,as a separate item.
II. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
A. MATTERS ON THE PRINTED AGENDA
Chair Carey announced that those who have indicated a desire to
speak on an item on the Printed Agenda will be recognized at the appropriate

Chair Carey announced. that Commissioners Insko and Willhoit have
volunteered to serve on the Small Area Planning Committee with the Town of
Hillsborough for that area on old NC 86 between 1-88 and 1-40 south of
Hillsborough.
Commissioner Gordon explained to those in the audience that the County
Commissioners do listen to citizens. That is why it may seem to take a long
time for the Board to make a decision on specific items. She explained the
process usually begins with an advisory board and may be an issue which is
complex and may take two or three years of study before it reaches the Board.
The Board has the responsibility of looking at the entire proposal or issue
in the context of the entire County and doing an analysis or evaluation before
voting on the issue.
Chair Carey agreed that the Board is doing a great job for the citizens
of Orange County.

A motion was made by commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Chair
Carey to approve a pyrotechnics permit for a concert to be held at the Dean
Smith Center on January 8, 1994.
Commissioner Insko said she was glad to hear that the Smith
Center turned down a request from the Grateful Dead. Until she heard that
she felt that the Smith Center had not helped reduce violence and demands
on the public safety staff. She does not want to approve things that will
..place additional demands on the citizens of Orange?County or Chapel Hill or
Carrboro. She would like to see the Smith Center make a policy statement
or provide guidelines to reduce that kind of event held last year.
Chair Carey was glad that the University declined the Grateful
Dead a return appearance. He reminded the Board that the County has an
agreement that if County resources are used, the County will be reimbursed
for all direct costs.
VOTE: AYES, 2; NOS, 3 (Commissioners Gordon, Halkiotis and Insko)
IX. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
A. WATERSHED PROTECTION STANDARDS AND ZONING OF LITTLE RIVER AND
CEDAR GROVE TOWNSHIPS
The four citizens who expressed a desire to speak were heard
first.
Robin Mulkey, Bingham Township, asked that the County
Commissioners not restrict the landowners with stronger watershed
protection standards than those mandated by the State.
Earl Davis noted he has just been appointed to the Little River
Township Advisory Council. He is astonished that they have not had a
meeting for two years. With regard to the farmers, he noted that all they
have for retirement is their land.
Howard McAdams, President of the Orange County Farm Bureau,
asked that the County Commissioners adopt the watershed standards mandated
by the State. He read a statement in support of these watershed standards
and asked that the Board vote no for water regulations in excess of the
state regulations.
647
Julie Andresen noted that the governing board has the
responsibility to protect and make sensible decisions for everyone. They
don't have the luxury of guaranteeing everyone the highest and best use of.
their property. She urged the Board to adopt the most conservative options,-'
that,the Planning Board has recommended. In answer to a question from
Commissioner Insko, Ms. Andresen made reference to a study done in Fairfax.
County, Virginia, which indicated that land values did not decline as a
result of zoning restrictions which kept lots of certain size.
Commissioner Willhoit said that he received several calls from
the farming community asking him not to approve anything stronger than the
state minimum. He indicated that the problem is that the state minimum is
a compromise at the state level and does not necessarily provide adequate
protection. He agrees that the farmer should be able to sell his land at a
reasonable price and feels that the regulations placed on property would
not result in a person not being able to sell at a reasonable price. There
are two areas in which the County's regulations would be more restrictive
than the states and those are (1) the minimum lot size of 1 unit per two
acres and (2) the amount that can be used for nonresidential uses. Once a
farmer decides to sell his property for retirement, he is no longer a
farmer but a developer converting his property to a nonfarm use. He feels
the County Commissioners have no.obligation to insure anybody that they can
convert their farm or residential property to commercial property. With
regards to the minimum lot size, he is not convinced that there are any
data which shows that the lot size has an adverse effect on the value of
the land. What governs the value of the land is the location. one issue
that needs to be addressed is soil suitability. As the County moves
forward on the Rural Character strategies for the County, they will
encourage clustering which will encourage open space and hopefully make it l
conducive to continue farming as a viable enterprize in Orange County.
Commissioner Insko noted that one thing they hope to do with the
Rural Character Study is to give some density bonuses to encourage
preservation of open space. With regard to watershed protection
regulations for Cane Creek, the Commissioners will look at these in more
detail when the technical study is received. These standards will be
interim standards.
Commissioner Gordon said to the audience that at the retreat she-
talked about impervious-surface-on existing lots and she will talk about
this later when considering each watershed. As far as University Lake
Watershed, the Board plans to keep the same standards and for Cane Creek
they are going to adopt some conservative standards pending the technical
study that will be done within the next year.
NOTE:
Included in the agenda were individual charts for each watershed
which summarized the state mandate and proposed zoning standards for key
watershed provisions. These provisions include density, residential and
non-residential impervious surface ratios (ISR), stream buffers, septic and
building setbacks, wastewater disposal provisions and provisions related to
sludge application, landfills, hazardous materials and sewer lines. In
some cases the charts included two or more options on a particular
watershed standard. The option for which the Board indicated a preference
at its December 11, 1993 Retreat was indicated by boldface type. The
proposed Zoning ordinance provisions, Subdivision, Zoning Atlas and
648
Comprehensive Plan amendments are not included in the tables.
After a discussion on process, it was decided that the County
rommissionersl action would be on the individual watershed charts, and that
,-,-the content of the charts, as approved, would be incorporated into the
actual ordinance text.
Clarification was made that the term BMP, wherever it appeared in
the charts, referred to structural BMPs and charges would be made to the,
ordinance text as necessary to assure that that clarity was carried forward
to the actual ordinance text.

DISCUSSION OF TEXT AMENDMENTS (Many of these provisions are summarized in
the charts discussed above)
6.23 EXTRA REQUIREMENTS FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION OVERLAY DISTRICTS (Pages
27 through 45 of the Agenda Abstract)
Planner Mary Willis said that the amendments meet the State criteria
for protecting watersheds. ._The amendments..that_..were presented at the
November Public Hearing will come to the County Commissioners for
consideration in January.
The Board made various changes to the text which will'be
incorporated into the final document.. In answer to a question from
Commissioner Gordon about section 6.23.11, Ms. Willis clarified that for
all the critical areas and for all of Cane Creek and University Lake
Watershed, no alternative systems will be allowed. In all of the
watersheds, repair systems will be allowed.
Commissioner Gordon made reference to deletions on page 44 and
Ms. Willis noted that she and the County Attorney determined that there
were duplications. Geoffrey Gledhill clarified that the language under
6.23.10 (b) says that a person can redevelop if the rebuilding activity
does not have a net increase on built upon area or provides equal or
greater stormwater control than the previous development. A person can
replace what they now have. He explained that 6.23.10 (c) was deleted
because it allowed a person to expand to a greater extent with a larger
impervious surface than someone who is building a new building.
650
Commissioner Gordon continued to express concern with the changes to this
section.
Commissioner Gordon was concerned with how environmental review
and oversight of hazardous materials would be handled in watersheds, and
asked staff to provide her with the regulations orange County implements
for hazardous materials. She suggested that we might wish to add
additional regulations at a later date.
Based on Board discussion and concerns, the Board made various
changes to the text which will be incorporated into the final document.
The text was revised by staff in response to comments made by the Board of
County commissioners and citizens at their meetings on November 1 and
November 16. No formal action was taken to approve or deny any specific
provision during those meetings but the minutes and agenda materials from
those meetings provide information on that discussion. Some of the changes
included:
(a) typographical errors and gender neutral language (replace
"activities of man" with "human activities").
(b) changes to 6.23 to reflect impervious surface.
limits for the Haw and Jordan as described on page lines
of these minutes.
(c) technical corrections to the numbering system for major
headings within the text
(d) clarification that stormwater structures will be inspected
by Orange County
...SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS ZONING ATLAS AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
Changes to the Zoning Atlas and Subdivision regulations were as
presented at the November 1 meeting. In response to comments raised by
OWASA, the following sentence was proposed to be added to revisions to
Section 10.8 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan: "Consistent
with this goal, there shall be no more than one Rural Neighborhood Activity
Node, and no Activity Nodes of any other type established in the Cane Creek
watershed".
A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by
Commissioner Insko to adopt the text amendments-to--the Zoning Atlas, Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations and Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan as recommended and as revised by the County
Commissioners and the Planning Staff as indicated in the minutes above.
These revisions will be incorporated into the final documents. The
proposed effective date of new watershed and zoning provisions is January
1, 1994.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
B. CP-E-93 BOBBY KIRK, SR. AND JR.
David Stancil presented for Board consideration of approval a
proposed amendment to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan
submitted by Bobby Kirk, Sr. and Jr. This item was presented at the August
23, 1993 public hearing. The proposed amendment would allow a Rural
Neighborhood Activity Node at the intersection of Orange Grove Road and
Bradshaw Quarry Road. Stancil noted that a standard rural activity node is
125 acres in size. However, the Board may designate a smaller node. The
651
Planning Board recommended 25 acres for the node. However, only ten acres
of th-is could be zoned for commercial. This is in the noncritical portion
of University Lake Watershed.
Commissioner Gordon said she feels that making the boundary the
road would provide additional buffering.
A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon to change the boundary
to the road.
NOTE: THIS MOTION DID NOT RECEIVED A SECOND.
Commissioner Insko stated she would like to see the size of the
node reduced. The residents in that area are concerned that the node will
become larger. She recommends that the node be reduced to five to ten
acres because this would still provide Mr. Kirk enough land for what he
wants to do and reassure the citizens that this will not become a major
activity node.
A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the
amendment, with the modifications on boundaries of the Rural Neighborhood
Activity Node as recommended by the Planning Board and shown on the map in
the agenda abstract.

9. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PROPOSALS
Commissioner Willhoit made reference to the Old 86 node and
stated his desire for quality standards for this particular node. He
commented that the Permitted Use Table allows elevated storage tanks, and
transmission lines which he would like to delete. He would also eliminate
motor freight terminals, storage and distribution of petroleum products and
free standing restaurants. He would permit churches and community centers
as special uses. He feels that clubs and lodges should be permitted,
possibly by special use. In section 3.3.18 on Pedestrian and Bicycle
Facilities he recommended changing the word "should" to "are not to be
designed as isolated". In 3.3.12 he recommended changing the word "should"
to "provide". Under 3.4.12 he recommended changing the words "trash areas
and dumpsters" to solid waste/recycling containers with the graphic showing
a screened dumpster and recycling container. He suggested that there
should be a 100-foot buffer along the arterial, which is Old 86. Also, for
the collector, he suggested that there be a 100--foot setback for the first
653
Robin Mulkey asked that the County Commissioners not create a
new County department with additional expense and another level of
bureaucracy. She asked that the Board have respect and concern for the
taxpayers in orange county.
Commissioner Gordon was concerned about how the hearing panel
for each case would be appointed and, in general, what the Commission's
policies and procedures would be.
It was agreed that the County Commissioners would approve the
policies and procedures for the Human Relations Commission which will be a
separate document and not part of the ordinance.
Chair Carey explained that with regard to the ordinance covering
orange County employees, one option would be to contract with another Human
Relations commissions or to work with the State Referral Agency which deals
with complaints. The County does have a good system in place to address
employee complaints.
A motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by
Commissioner Willhoit to receive the revised ordinance with the amendment
that the County Commissioners will approve the policies and procedures of
the Human Relations commission and agree to adopt the revised ordinance
subject to concurrence of the other jurisdictions or municipalities.

XIV. ADJOURNMENT
With no further items for consideration, Chair Carey adjourned the
meeting at 10:20 p.m. The next regular meeting will be held on January 4,
1994 at 7:30 p.m. in the courtroom.of the Old County Courthouse in
'Hillsborough,' North Carolina.

100 feet from the arterial, 75 feet for the next 100 feet and 50 feet for
the next 100 feet. Beyond that, the setback should be 30 feet. He feels
old 86 should be four lanes with a median. The setback should include
sufficient right-of-way to allow for the widening of the road. He feels
that the Board needs to know the full implications of a permitted use and
what it may permit. He feels that the Buckhorn node is more industrial and
manufacturing orientated. The Old 86 node should be more office and
service oriented and the Eno Node is already characterized.
Chair Carey noted that he agrees that the Board needs to move
ahead with all three nodes. The Old 86 node is critical because of the
possibility of annexation from the Town of Hillsborough.
Commissioner Gordon asked for a cost benefit analysis for each
node. She feels that it is important to work through the information that
Mr. Collins has provided and think about that in relation to the
residential base and come up with a rational formula. She noted that the
Permitted Uses keep changing. The Design standards are piecemeal at this
point. She wants time to study this information and also allow time for
the citizens to comment on the new information on Permitted Uses and the
Design Standards.
With regard to the Permitted Uses, she did not realize they were
being eliminated altogether. She thought that people would be allowed to
go through the slower public hearing process for the uses not listed. She
asked where the eliminated uses would be allowed. She feels they can come
up with something that will satisfy everyone. However, until she can get
the cost benefit analysis, she would like to approve one node as a pilot
project to see what happens. r
Chair Carey stated that at the time they have the work session
they will decide if they should delay approval on,all three nodes.
Commissioner Halkiotis shared Commissioner Willhoit's vision of
the Buckhorn node. The node at Old 86 and I-40 worries him. Whatever the
County can do at the Eno Node will enhance that area.
Chair Carey confirmed that the Board will hold a work session in
early January, have the public hearing at the second meeting in January and
vote at that time or at the first meeting in February.
Marvin Collins clarified that the permitted uses eliminated for
a specific EDD would be allowed in other commercial and industrial areas in
the County through a rezoning. With regard to the economic analysis,
certain assumptions will have to be made.
In answer to a question from Chair Carey, Marvin Collins said
that it is difficult to do an economic analysis on a goal that is not
economic based. Chair Carey said he does not want to make this cost
benefit analysis a condition for moving ahead.
Commissioner Gordon made reference to the strategic plan and
said that in terms of targeting and locating businesses that they need this
cost benefit analysis.
Commissioner Insko suggested for the January 10, 1994 work
session that they review the original goals in the strategic plan and at
that time make a decision on whether or not to request a cost benefit
analysis. They can also review the design standards and the permitted use
table as suggested by Commissioner Willhoit. Public comment will not be
heard at this work session but they will accept written comments.
