BACKGROUND: At its December 21, 1993 meeting, the Board of Commissioners considered Economic Development District proposals for decision. Several concerns were expressed about the Design Manual, including the following. 1. The Table of Permitted Uses in Section 2.2 should be revised to eliminate water storage tanks, radio and TV towers, transmission lines, motor freight terminals, storage and distribution of petroleum products, and freestanding restaurants, service stations, and retail stores as permitted or special uses. The Table should also permit churches and clubs or lodges. 2. Section 3.5, Service and Storage, should be revised to address noise originating from rooftop air conditioning equipment, to refer to trash areas and dumpsters as solid waste containers and recycling bins,and to provide a sketch which not shows screening techniques for solid waste containers but recycling bins as well. 3. Section 3.2, Landscape Design, should be revised to require a 100-foot setback along Old N.C. 86, an arterial street, in addition to reserving an additional 20-foot right-of-way dedication.Where collector roads intersect with Old N.C. 86, a setback of 100 feet applied in the first 100 feet from the intersection, 75 feet in the next 100 feet, 50 feet in the next 100 feet, then 25 feet for the remainder of the frontage along collector road. The setback would apply to buildings, parking, loading, and storage areas. 4. Section 3.3, Circulation and Parking, should be revised to change all references to "should" to "must" or "shall". 2 Staff has revised the Design Manual to reflect the Board's concerns. The Design Manual will be subject of discussion at a work session scheduled for January 10, 1994 at 7:30 p.m. in the Governmental Services Building Conference Room. In addition to the changes to the Design Manual,the Board of Commissioners also felt that another public hearing should be held on the Manual and the Table of Permitted Uses (included in the Manual).The Board set the public hearing for its regular meeting on January 18, 1994 in the Community Meeting Room at the OWASA Administrative Offices in Carrboro. Approval of the attached notice will permit advertisement on January 7 and January 14, 1994 as required by the N.C. General Statutes.
