Boards/Commissions applied for:
Chapel Hill Planning Commission
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have a Masters degree in Architecture. I have worked in Architecture in both large and small
firms. I worked at URS in Columbus, Ohio where the engineering was done in house. I had the
opportunity while there to be a part of very large projects that impacted the community. Part of
my job involved making sure that the building codes were adhered to. I have been a part of
community discussions on planning on both sides of the table. I think that experience would be
useful on the Planning Commission.
I have lived in various places. We moved to Chapel Hill from Germany. Living in another country
can open your eyes to different ways a community can be and what can be possible. I have
been a part of many different pieces of Chapel Hill. I have been an assistant to local artists. I
am a substitute in the local school system. I am a certified teacher in mathematics in the state of
NC. I have had a child in the public, private, and now homeschooling group here in Chapel Hill.
While part of the Community Design Commission I have taken developers on tours of Chapel
Hill more than once. My knowledge of NC and other areas has given me the ability to explain to
developers what could be. For instance I was able to explain to the developers of the Shortbread
Lofts that they owed a streetscape to Rosemary Street. What followed from those discussions in
the Design Commission later developed into great attention to Rosemary Street. I became a
Certified Document Technologist(CDT)while at URS which means I have studied the code and
had being clear, complete, and concise drilled into me. I have written specifications for
11

architectural projects. I have been a part of committees where various views are expressed and
been a part of coming to a consensus. I have planned and worked with a school in implementing
a student planted green roof and organized students planting 21 trees on their school property.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
While being on the Community Design Commission and living in Chapel Hill, I have observed
the effects of the Planning Commission on the community. I would love to join this insightful
group as they plan the future for the people in Chapel Hill. I would like to be involved in the
discussions while the decisions and recommendations to council are being made. I think I could
provide another perspective and insight into the decisions of the planning board especially with
the background I have. I think that there should be a voice of a person that has worked this
closely with design and planning of the built environment on the planning board.

What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
Being a young, but relevantly educated resident, I have a strong sense of the years to come and
the need for good, long-term planning.
Furthermore, utilizing the strategic thinking methods handed down to me in my military
education, I find it easy to look at issues and break them down into basic ideas for effective
planning and communication to others.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
I think the responsibility of the board is to assist local governance by providing foresight in the
development and use of public assets. If appointed, I hope to help guide the community along a
thriving path for future success.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
14
Page 3 of 3 Joseph Parrish
As part of the ever-growing Triangle, I see issues such transportation, housing, and education
being vitally important. We must successfully tackle these issues for the purpose of
accommodating higher levels of commerce, growing neighborhoods, and the needs of the
children that live in these growing neighborhoods.
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?
To make an effective plan for any group or organization, you need to be a step ahead. The
Planning Board should therefore take a leading, proactive role in guiding and developing
growth. It has to set the pace.
Additionally,we should have a role at the end of the process, in order to hear feedback from
other entities and determine how successful our planning as been so far. Foresight requires
hindsight.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
I would be a part of those informing the Board of Commissioners about what those things should be. Once those
goals and priorities are handed to us, it would be up to us to envision how to make them possible,much like how
orders are passed along in the military to next level down.
