D. ADOPTION OF THE 1985-86 BUDGET ORDINANCE
Chair Willhoit proposed that at the conclusion of the discussion on this
item, an interim budget be adopted for continuation at the same levels as the
1984-85 budget and the item be continued to Wednesday, July 3, 19E5 for final
adoption.
Commissioner Walker presented to the Board a plan which he feels will
provide the necessary funds for the schools without increasing the tax rate.
His plan is as follows:
(1) Give each school system $10.00 more per pupil for current ex-
pense making the total per pupil of $701.
(2) give each school system $50,000 more for current capital.
(3) Go with a reduced add-on list apart from schools.
(4) Do the pay-as-you-go plan for long range school capital out of
the sales tax revenues.
(5) Do not raise taxes any more than has already been done with the
1/2 cent sales tax.
(6) Correct fund balance problem that Chapel Hill has on the dis-
trict tax.
He also proposed to include only those following items on the add-on list:
(1) Commissioners' Budget - delete $1,485 as proposed.
(2) Social Services - Cone Mill Fund only and delete the word pro-
cessor.
000160
(3) Parks and Recreation - Homestead Project.
(4) Department on Aging - one secretary and delete the I/R position.
(5) Sheriffts Department - secretary and furniture.
(6) Adolescents in Need Program - continue with same funding as 84-
85.
(7) Womens Health - delete $1,500 as proposed.
Commissioner Walker proposed that one half of the Revenue Sharing and the
County sales tax reserve be used to fund the add-on list. He suggested that
with regard to the Chapel Hill fund balance that a study be done tc correct the
problem. He stated it would take an increase of 1.9 cent on the district tax
to maintain an adequate fund balance. He recommended that the County Manager
study ways to prevent the fund balance problem in the future.
Commissioner Carey agreed that tighter control needs to be maintained over
what happens to the fund balance - not only of the two school systems but of
other agencies that the County funds. He disagreed with cutting from the add-
on list the school nurse for the Health Department and the money for the animal
society.
Chair Willhoit disagreed with cutting from the budget the add-on request
for the Department on Aging, Social Services, Home Health Agency, Library, and
all volunteer agencies other than the $1500 decrease for Womens Health.
Commissioner Marshall spoke in support of the word processor for Social
Services indicating it would help with the extra workload they are
experiencing. With regard to revenue sharing she proposed allocating 3/4 to
help fund the mark-up list.
Chair Willhoit clarified that the 1.8 million balance from the sales tax
in 88-89 is only there because the schools have yet to identify the capital
needs for 88-89 for which the money will be allocated.
Bill Ray, farm owner in Cedar Grove, asked that the Board of Commissioners
hold the line on the budget and not increase the property tax.
Bill Dorsett, Chair of the Agricultural Business Council in Orange County,
opposed raising the property tax.
Gordon McDade, Roy McAdoo, Richard Daniels, Don Collins, Lilly Evans and
Albert Cummins spoke in opposition of the proposed tax increase.
Commissioner Lloyd commented about the fiscal responsibility of the Board
and the need for additional industry to increase the tax base.
Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey
to adopt an interim Budget Ordinance for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1985
and ending June 30, 1986 at the continuation appropriation level of the 1984-
85 fiscal year to remain in effect until the Budget Ordinance for 1985-86 is
adopted.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Marshall
to continue this item until 7:30, July 3, 1985.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.

(2) All setbacks be indicated or provide a note on the plat which

label as such.

5. O.T. FARRINGTON FAMILY LANDS-MINOR SUBD. WITH CLASS A PRIVATE ROAD
Susan Smith presented again for consideration of approval of a Class
A Private Road to serve the minor subdivision of the properties of Curtis
Farrington. On May 20, 1985 the Planning Board recommended approval of a Class
A road to serve the minor subdivision. At their June 3, 1985 meeting, the
Board of Commissioners directed that the Planning board reconsider this item,
particularly in terms of potential density and right-of-way problems. At their
June 17, 1985 meeting the Planning Board reaffirmed their recommendation of May
20, 1985.
Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner
Walker to approve the recommendation of the Planning Board.
VOTE: AYES, 4; NOES, 1 (Commissioner Marshall) .
6. GEORGE GORTON REZONING REQUEST
Marvin Collins presented for consideration of approval a rezoning
request on 86.51 acres located along Highway 70 Business southeast of Hills-
borough. The present zoning is R-1. The applicants are requesting; 26.25 acres
to be rezoned to OI and 59.86 acres to be rezoned I-1. The Planning Staff
recommended denial given potential traffic impacts and demands on public water
and sewer facilities. The Planning Board recommends approval. The Planning
00062
Staff felt the applicant had not provided sufficient evidence to .meet the re-
quirements set out in the Zoning Ordinance in Article 4.2.3.b for water and
sewer or in Article 4.2.3.e which indicates that the maximum amount of land
zoned to OI classification shall not exceed five acres. The Planning Board
found that the request from Mr. Horton did not represent a normal situation
because of the industrial research type project proposed and that the applicant
had met all the requirements of the Ordinance.
Commissioner Marshall noted that when you are rezoning land you are
not working with the individual and that something is needed in the Ordinance
that is between the planned unit development regulations and a rezoning. It is
a risk you take when you approve a rezoning without planned development because
of the uncertainty of the type of development that will actually take place.
Commissioner Walker expressed concern for the legal ramifications of
treating different applications differently instead of applying the ordinance
to everybody equally.
Motion was made by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner
Lloyd to approve the recommendation of the Planning Board.
Chair Willhoit asked for a clarification on the requirement of the
Ordinance for commitment for water and sewer and questioned the support of the
Town for the rezoning only if the desired flexibility could be maintained.
Mayor Frank Sheffield stated that the Town of Hillsborough took the
position of supporting the rezoning on the basis it felt the location to be
desirable for an Office/Industrial Park and the Town Board did make a commit-
ment to provide water and sewer service to the site subject to the approval of
the plans and specifications by the Town and the State.
Chair Willhoit noted that in the past, the Board had not: entertained
a straight rezoning and questioned if a change in this policy wou7_d pertain to
like decisions made in the past in encouraging people not to seek a straight
rezoning but to apply for a planned development.
Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill indicated that the statute of limitations
had already run on those past decisions.
VOTE: AYES, 4; NOES, 1 (Commissioner Marshall) .
7. JAMES I. FREELAND REZONING REQUEST
Marvin Collins presented for consideration a proposed rezoning
request for 1.5 acres of land located along Faucette Mill Road north of Hills-
borough. The present zoning is A-R, while the requested designation is R-4.
The Planning Board recommends denial on the basis that the criteria for rezon-
ing have not been satisfied. The applicant did not satisfy Article 4.2.3.b or
Article 4.2.3.c.
On the basis of two negative findings, motion was made by Commission-
er Carey, seconded by Commissioner Marshall to deny the request for the
rezoning.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
8 WEST- TEN MOBILE PARK-PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-HOUSING/SPECIAL USE PERMIT

Commissioner Marshall asked if the Planning Board addressed the traffic
problems and the devaluation of adjoining property values. Susan Smith

9. PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS (see descriptive narrative
on pages MWMf these minutes) .
Marvin Collins presented for consideration of approval two proposed
Zoning Ordinance text amendments that were submitted to public hearing on May
28, 1985. This item was continued to receive the Planning Board's recommen-
dation. The first amendment deals with the establishment and the permitted use
table for Nonprofit Educational Cooperatives- as a Class A Special Use Permit
permitted in the A-R zoning district. It would also add to Article eight a
list of the specific requirements that a nonprofit association must submit and
also add to Article 22 Definitions the definition of a Nonprofit Educational
Cooperative-. The Planning Board recommended approval of the proposed amend-
ments to Articles IV. VIII, and XXII.
The second amendment had to do with a provision to Article 11 regard-
ing non-conforming mobile homes which would permit individual mobile homes
which are not located within a mobile home park to be replaced with other
individual mobile homes or dwelling units. The Planning Board recommended
denial of this proposed amendment because of the wording -or- dwelling units.
The Planning Board does not want mobile homes replaced with stick-built homes.
Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Chair Willhoit to
approve the Planning Staff's recommendation to approve the amendments as pre-
sented to public hearing.
Carl Walters, representative of the Planning Board, indicated that
the reason for the Planning Board denial is that usually a stick built home is
much larger than a mobile home which makes the lot nonconforming because of lot
size and setbacks.
VOTE: AYES, 4; NOES, 1 (Commissioner Marshall) .
Chair Willhoit questioned Article 8.8.4.2.8 which reads -No chemical,
toxic or hazardous substances are used, produced, stored or consumed on-site,
and noted that this section should make specific references and be defined.
Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner
Lloyd that item -G- of Article 8.8.4.2 standard of evaluation be defined and
brought back for adoption at a later date.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
10_ REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING-PRE, INC.
Susan Smith presented for consideration a request from PHE, INC. to
schedule a special public hearing on August 5. 1985 to hear a rezoning request
to allow for expansion of the established Adam and Eve operation.
000_1s6
Chair Willhoit explained the reason for holding a Special Public
Hearing. PHE, Inc. was under the impression they could expand on their present
site. When they applied for their building permit they were informed they
would not be permitted to expand because of zoning. They need to know as soon
as possible if they will be allowed to expand in order to proceed with their
planning.
Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner Carey
to schedule a special public hearing on August 5, 1985 to hear a rezoning re-
quest to allow for expansion of the established Adam and Eve operation.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
11 PARTICIPATORY PAVING PROGRAM-PROJECT ADDITION

Stallings Road (SR 1198) and Rollingwood Road (SR 1194) be paved under the
Orange County Participatory Paving Program.

to accept Stallings Road and Rollingwood Road as a PPP project.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
12 PLANNING GOALS/OBJECTIVES/WORKPLAN FOR 1985-86 (a copy of the work
program elements is in the permanent agenda file) .
Marvin Collins presented for consideration the work program for the
Planning Department in the 1985-86 fiscal year.
It was decided that a meeting needs to be held with Chapel Hill, that
the comprehensive planning for the water reservoir study and the designation of
reservoir sites in Little River and Upper Eno Watershed could be done as one
project, and that (1) subdivision regulations update, (2) planned development
standards update, (3) special use modification standards update, and (4) road
capacity studies/road definitions and classifications be moved up on the list
of program elements.
13 SOCIAL SERVICES LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner
Cary to approve the continuation of the contractural agreement with the firm of
Northern, Little and Thibaut to provide special legal services not otherwise
provided by county government for fiscal year 1985-86.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
14, EXTENSION OF CALDWELL FIRE INSURANCE DISTRICT
Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner
Walker to extend the Caldwell Fire Insurance Rated District from four road
miles to five road miles.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
15, APPEAL OF TAX APPRAISAL•
Kermit Lloyd explained that R.D. Stone takes exception to the
appraisal of his property located on Tax Map I.D. 4.45c.A.4. Mr. Stone made
his request for a hearing within the required 30 days from his Notice of Change
in value. Mr. Stone's property was appraised using the Schedule of Values
adopted for the 1981 revaluation and an outside inspection of his home. Mr.
Stone would not let Mr. George Meyer, Chief Appraiser, see the inside of his
home. Lloyd recommends no change.
Mr. Stone spoke in his behalf indicating that the square footage
measurements of his house were estimated wrong but have since been corrected.
He maintained that the house is not complete and therefore the appraisal too
high.
Action on this item was delayed until August 5.

Carey to approve the RSVP Grant Award from ACTION for the period July 1, 1985

VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
17 GOVERNOR MARTIN'S RECOGNITION PROGRAM FOR VOLUNTEERS
Commissioner Marshall explained the recognition Rrogram planned to be
held during the first part of November. Because nominations had to be
presented no later than July 22, it was felt that enough time would not be
allowed to receive nominations and make a decision. No action was taken on
this item.
18. JULY 4. 1985 FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner
Walker to approve a fireworks display to be held at the Collins Little League

ARTICLE VI APPLICATION OF DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 6 .16 .6 REGULATIONS GOVERING HOME
OCCUPATIONS, AS AN ACCESSORY USE
ARTICLE XXII DEFINITIONS
ISSUE: In the administration of the home occupation
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance questions have
been raised regarding the intent of the section
which specifically addresses the product of the
home-occupation. Section 6 . 16 .6 . 1 d) and 6 . 16 .2c)
restrict home occupations as follows: "The on-
premise sale and delivery of goods, which are not
the product of the home occupation is prohibited. "
Although staff has interpreted this provision to
allow only goods produced on the premises, the
intent is not clear . Nor does the provision
000170
address retail products sold on-premises which are
associated with the home occupation, for example a
beauty parlor which sells hair products.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT:
Revise to read : The on-premises sale and delivery.
of goods which are not produced on
the premises is prohibited, except
in the case of the delivery and
sale of goods incidental to the
provision of a service
Add to Article XXII DEFINITIONS :
Goods Incidental . Retail goods for sale in a
manner customary and subordinate to the provision
of a service, eg. beautician selling hair products.
Revise to read:
