Chair Carey said that those who have indicated a desire to speak
will be recognized at the appropriate time.
S. MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA
Doug Ferguson, representing the Orange Lesbian and Gay Association
(OLGA) , made reference to the proposed Orange County Civil Rights Ordinance
and asked that the Board seek local legislation to add to the proposed
ordinance "sexual orientation" as a protected class. He noted that OLGA is
asking for equal rights -- not special rights. Chair Carey asked that OLGA
take an active role and work with other counties and state organizations to
gain support for the amendment.
Betty Ibrahim, Chairwoman of the Orange County Republican Party,
spoke against the request made by Mr. Ferguson. She stated that gays and
lesbians don't fall into the category of people who have a history of being
discriminated against such as blacks and women. She noted she does not
support the proposed Civil Rights Ordinance as it is written.
PUBLIC CHARGE
Chair Carey read the public charge.
III. BOARD COMMENT$
Commissioner Halkiotis asked that the Board discuss the Board member
participation on the various boards and commissions. He wants to discuss the
issue of time spent serving on these various boards and commissions.
Commissioner Willhoit noted that there are only three boards that
require a County Commissioner to participate. He finds it useful to be
directly involved but feels a decision needs to be made on how many of these
boards/commissions a Commissioner needs to serve.
IV. COMY MANAGER'S REPORT - NONE
V. RESOLUTIONS/PROCLMATIONS - NONE
VI. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS - NONE
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS DESIGN MANUAL
No presentation was made. The County Commissioners received as
part of their agenda a complete copy of the Design Manual for the Economic
Development Districts (EDDs) .
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Avis Lloyd-Kimbel, daughter of James Rippy, asked that all of her
father's property be included in the I-40 EDD node. The property is located
between the 1-40 node and Cornwallis Hills. There are seven acres just west
of Cates Creek not included in the I-40 node. She noted that he has paid
taxes on this property for 52 years and has not been allowed to do anything
with this property.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Commissioner Gordon made reference to her four page memo to the
Board of Commissioners and Manager dated February 11, 1994 which lists issues
for further discussion and consideration. She read the memo, explaining that
she would like the Planning Board to consider certain items when making their
recommendation. A copy of this memo is in the Permanent Agenda File and made
a part of these minutes by reference.
Marvin Collins responded to Commissioner Gordon's comments about
the Design Manual being consistent with the Land Use Plan and noted that
there is a FY92-93 goal which specifically talks about the EDDs and mentions
that it is the intent to change the Land Use Plan. In terms of location
criteria, he actually feels that the criteria proposed for the EDDs are better
than those currently existing for commercial-industrial activity nodes. The
proposed design standards provide examples of how particular criteria should
be applied. They also take into account areas planned for short or lonr
range utility services.
With regard to Commissioner Gordon's question about who will makt
the judgments required to implement the design guidelines, Marvin Collins said
"711
that he feels confident enough to make these judgments and also has staff he
.feels can make these judgments. In terms of "fuzzy standards" he said that
-hese standards were based on design manuals received from across the country.
` ' There is not an objective standard that will cover every situation. Every
piece of ground to be developed has different characteristics about it. There
first must be a site analysis and from that site analysis the designing
process. He emphasized that they will not need additional staff to implement
the design standards.
With regard to Commissioner Gordon's questions about water and
sewer costs, Commissioner Willhoit said that his vision of the Buckhorn node
is that it will be connected to the Efland sewer system. it will provide some
economic viability to the County's sewer line so that it can be used to expand
services to other areas of Efland which have failed septic systems. He would
like for it to be stated that connections will not be allowed to be made to
the Alamance County line.
John Link, speaking from a Manager's perspective, noted that he
expects the private sector to pay for water and sewer extension except for
those monies which are included in the County's Capital Improvement .Plan.
The Board discussed water and sewer service to the EDDs. The
existing sewer system has a collection and pumping capacity of 500, 000 gallons
per day, and the County has an agreement with the Town of Hillsborough for
them to treat up to 380, 000 gallons of the County system's wastewater per day.
Chair Carey noted that although transportation is a concern, the
reality is that many citizens are leaving the County to work elsewhere. He
feels confident that transportation will be forthcoming from the Triangle
Transit Authority+
Commissioner Gordon made reference to the cost benefit analysis and
asked that the Board direct staff to identify information they should be
collecting in the next two or three years to report back to the Board. She
asked the Planning Board and Staff to come up with some suggestions for the
Board's consideration. She suggested that the County Commissioners may want
to monitor such things as (1) do the jobs go to County residents, (2) are they
good paying jobs, (3) how much residential activity can be traced directly to
this nodes, etc.
Commissioner Insko made reference to page 3.3.10 in the Design
Manual and asked for clarification on the widening of Old 86 and changing it
from five lanes. Marvin Collins indicated that this can be accomplished by
working with the Town of Hillsborough to change the proposed cross-section
design of Old 86. He confirmed that two Hillsborough Town Commissioners have
indicated support for such a change.
Marvin Collins confirmed that right-of-way will be reserved and
used for bus transportation or light rail depending on the density.
Commissioner Insko said that it would help her to know when there
will be a change in the Land Use Plan as a result of the Design Manual. She
feels that if a district is good for orange County, it should be approved
because they now know what the changes in the Land Use Plan are. one of her
concerns about the I-40/01d 86 node is how the Board will coordinate with
Hillsborough to make sure there is not strip development all the way out
Churton Street along Old 86 to 1-40. Hillsborough recommended that there be
a joint process to look at this area and she is supportive of that process.
This node will impact on both the southern and northern part of Orange County.
Chair Carey suggested that all questions and comments be referred
to the Planning Board along with the entire proposal. He feels it will be
necessary for the Board to identify the key elements they want to track over
712
the next few years and questioned if the tracking can be done without
additional staff.
A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded
Commissioner Halkiotis to refer this matter to the Planning Board, along wiL:.
Commissioner Gordon's memo, the comments as stated above, and the following
suggestions:
1. Consider removing permitted manufacturing uses from the I-
40/Old 86 node, or at least making them special uses;
2. Consider adequacy of proposed ordinance modifications in
addressing access/driveway cuts onto Old 86, i.e. , property
fronting on Old 86;
3. Consider phasing of implementation of prezoned areas to
coincide with the extension of sewer service. The character
of development without sewer may preempt the type of
development that is desired;
4. Residential uses in secondary area I-40/86:
Consider making residential uses special uses
Consider reducing permitted residential density such that
it is not more attractive (profitable) than business
development
Consider not zoning residential areas until a to. be
specified amount of the primary area has been developed
VOTE: UNANIMOUS

the septic land behind it.

boundary and explained that most of the subdivision is not within the

I%. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
A. COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS RE VEST -
John Link explained that this program will focus on the underlying
problems of students, including physical and mental health, low self worth,
inadequate life skills and workforce preparedness. Communities in Schools
(CIS) builds a strong working partnership between the public and privat-
sectors of the community. He recommends that the Board approve inter
funding for FY 1993-94 in the amount of $10, 000 for the start-up of the Ci..
project.
717

risk kids.
Scott Gardner, Chair of the CIS Board of Directors, indicated he
expects what Commissioner Halkiotis has expressed as a concern to happen..
They have no signed agreements but will be pursuing these as soon as a pilot,
site has been selected. He explained that coordination of services will be
a primary focus.

that outreach into the community to get parents from the target population
involved in helping formulate the process will help the child to not be
overwhelmed by a lot of professionals.

X. REPORTS a
A. SADDLE CLUB ROAD SOLID WASTE SITE DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of this report was to update the Board of County
Commissioners on plans for development of a Solid Waste Convenience Center on
Saddle Club Road in Cheeks Township. This plan was presented to the County
Commissioners on November 16, 1993 at which time the Board approved the
conceptual plan to enter into a long-term lease with the property owner for
development of a Solid Waste Convenience Center on the property located on
Saddle Club Road. The next steps in developing this site are listed in the
agenda abstract on page two.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Willhoit about the extent
of public input, Wilbert McAdoo said that meetings were held in the community,
soliciting input on what would be included at a Solid Waste Convenience Center
(SWCC) and also input on location of any available land. Also, the Orange
County Solid Waste Committee held various meetings out in the townships. A
public hearing was not held on this particular site.
The Board discussed the location of the site and what would be
required to improve the site so it would be attractive for the community.
Wilbert McAdoo said that other options for collection of solid
waste were reviewed. There is not the growth in this area to support curbside
collection.
Mr. Steve Scarlett spoke for the Saddle Club and High Rock
Community. He stated that they are against this site for a SWCC. In summary,
he feels it is too close to the Alamance County line, will lessen the value
of their homes and cause damage to the road. He suggested the County consider
the Frazier Road site or private haulers.
Carl Walters, owner of the proposed site; showed the proximity of
the present site to the proposed site. He described the area and emphasized
that this proposal will not hurt property values. He listed others in the
718
community who support this proposal.
Ronnie Shields also spoke against this proposal. He stated that ,,
he can find five other sites which are more centralized than the one bei
proposed. He will call Wilbert McAdoo within a week to give him thi.;
information.
Joe Rice, owner of a Bed-and-Breakfast in that area, stated his .
opposition to this site.
Discussion ensued on looking at the process of locating sites for
SWCC. John Link suggested that the Orange County Solid Waste Committee
convene at the Efland Cheeks Community Center for a meeting with the citizens
in that area. After that meeting, he will bring back a recommendation for the
Board's consideration.
