Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As a lifelong citizen of Orange County, I have watched our community grow from a group of
small sleepy towns, to an ever-expanding, bustling County. My experience on the Carrboro
Planning Board taught me the language of planning. I was able to apply my knowledge of
Carrboro to the machinations of planning. The combination of planning experience and
knowledge of Orange County will allow me to provide a unique perspective to the Orange
County Planning Board.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
As mentioned above, I have watched our County change over the past 34 years. I believe our
leaders have done a wonderful and thoughtful job planning for our future, taking into
consideration population growth, the environment, schools, and equitable/affordable housing.
These same elements will continue to frame our decisions. I hope to serve my community by
shaping the planning of our County for the next generations.

Community Activities/Organizational Memberships:
I have participated in OCASL (soccer) and OC Rec Basketball, however I do not have any
current volunteer memberships in Orange County. I previously lived in Durham (2014-
2017) 1 was a member of the Exchange Club of Greater Durham for 4.5 years and served
as a Board Member for 2 of those years. I am excited for a new opportunity to serve my
hometown community in Orange County.
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
NONE
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My background as a resident of Orange County(Hillsborough)for the vast majority of my life (21
of 27 years)will serve me well in my understanding the area. I completed my B.S.B.A
(Accounting focus) at UNC-Wilmington, and spent my first 4.5 years working in Public
Accounting specializing in Tax. I think this accounting experience will allow me to understand the
actual costs of proposed County changes very well. I have always had an ability to understand
the financial side of things, and whether endeavors are financially feasible, and I hope to bring
that skill to the table as a member of the Planning Board. Currently I work as a project
accountant for a Utility-Scale Solar Farm Construction company- I am familiar with the
permitting processes, zoning process, etc. and am very familiar with all the intricacies of a new
development project and future planning.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I ve always enjoyed being a contributing member of my community, and now back in
Hillsborough I am looking for a way to be an active voice for my hometown. I think serving on the
Orange County Planning board would provide me with an opportunity to serve my community,
and participate in something I feel very passionate about-the development and planning of my

Project Accountant(Solar Construction) -9 months Senior Tax Accountant-2 years Staff
Accountant-2 years
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
I think I can bring the perspective of someone who was born and raised in OC, as well as
someone who is early into their adult life. My skills being focused in finance and accounting will
hopefully make me a valuable member of the Board when considering costs, and the financial
impact that proposed changes will have (both the financial impact to the individuals in our
communities, and to the community as a whole)
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
First and foremost, I think the Planning Board should serve as a gut-check for the county s
annual budget-ensuring that all items included have been thoroughly discussed and
contemplated. Further, I think the responsibilities of the Planning Board include a thorough
analysis of proposed developments, changes, and ideas that will have an impact on our county s
residents. Primarily the Planning Board should serve as a voice of the community.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
It may sound simple, but I believe that transportation is the most important issue facing Orange
County today and in the near future. With population growth inevitable, and occurring year-over-
year, the need for updated transportation systems is becoming more evident. You see this with
longer traffic jams all across the county. Another important issue I think we are facing is
affordable housing. With the increase in population, also has come a greater demand for
homes, and thus an increased premium on housing costs. I am interested in joining this
discussion on how we can create solutions to this issue.
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?
In my opinion Growth is inevitable and generally a positive thing. I believe the role of the
Planning Board in regards to guiding and regulating growth is to ensure that the RESULT of said
growth is a sustainable community. That can mean a lot of different things must be taken into
consideration - population density, financial feasibility, town utility abilities, etc. But I think the
ultimate role in guiding and regulating growth is to ensure a sustainable, thriving community is
created.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
I think I could do a great job of analyzing the budget and helping with a successful implementation/communication of
said budget. My familiarity with Orange County will provide me with the ability to have an expert understanding of what
kind of impact land use changes and zoning changes will have.And my passion for long-term investing will hopefully
help contribute towards the long term implementation of the Capital Investment Plan.

Boards/Commissions applied for:
Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I first came to Orange County as a UNC student in 1986, and lived in Chapel Hill until 1996. 1
returned to Chapel Hill in 2013, after moving away for graduate school and spending 14 years in
Durham. I ve seen the region grow significantly since 1986. 1 ve worked at Duke for 15 years
and have seen the increase in congestion as employees commute to our local academic
medical centers, Duke and UNC. I began attending Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan
Planning Organization community presentations around 2007, as I became interesting in long
range planning along the Highway 54 corridor. It was around that time I learned about the
Durham Orange Light Rail Transit project, and became interested in supporting development of
a better transit infrastructure in the Triangle area.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I m interested in serving on this board because I recognize the opportunity we have to reduce
the impact of climate change through planning, including transit oriented development. Perhaps
more importantly, I both volunteered and worked for a number of years with domestic violence
organizations in Durham, Orange, and Chatham counties, as well as in the Atlanta area. I have
25
Page 2 of 2 Susan Hunter
managed multiple shelters, including those in rural areas, and I helped my clients navigate
housing and transportation options, which were generally quite limited. I have seen first hand
how the area in which you live impacts the opportunities you have in life. I recognize that
planning decisions are a mechanism with which we can change the lives of our citizens for the
better.

What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
I ve worked extensively with women and children, trying to start over with virtually no resources.
I understand how important access to housing and transportation can be, and how planning
decisions impact the supply of those resources. I moved to Chapel Hill in 1986 before Interstate
40 was completed, and I ve seen the challenges we face as the area has continued to grow.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
The board must make decisions that serve the greater good of the entire community. I hope to
contribute to the planning process, and know that I ve made an effort to increase affordable
housing, access to transit, access to employment and access to opportunities for all Orange
county residents.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
Affordable housing and transit infrastructure, and developing our tax base
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?
The planning board should use evidence based best practices and data to make their decisions.
Their role is to make objective decisions rather than decisions that may serve their own self-
interests.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
Planning decisions that foster smart growth would help reduce Orange County s contribution to climate change,and
would benefit all citizens by increasing access to affordable housing,transportation,and economic opportunities.

Specifically, I can create tremendous value for Orange Unified Transportation Board in three
nuanced ways:
First, I understand identifying and approaching professionals for cooperative partnerships is
usually much more than just talking numbers and market factors. I am cognizant of the
economic, personal, political, and public perception implications a deal can have. Through my

Second, I have practical experience on how deals are found, developed, and completed.

law, I can read and build pro-forma breakeven analysis charts, cash flow projections, and have a
working concept of some corporate financing tools. Through the Entrepreneur Lab class (Spring
2017 Section), I will gain more hands-on experience working with start-up founders, growth
executives, and venture capitalists. This work will advise me on how we can better foster these
relationships and growths going forward in the planning of Orange County. The business skills
27

learned will continue to round my perspective and insight for my responsibilities on the board. I
want to bring these business skills and my strong interpersonal abilities to the Board.
Third, I understand how enthusiasm is essential and contagious in the work place; it breathes
life into everything. As a successful door-to-door insurance salesman, I learned the value of
enthusiasm combined with the habit of happily doing more than you are asked can create
previously nonexistent opportunities. I plan to bring these two habits to my membership on the
board, and keep momentum up.
I desire to be on the Orange Unified Transportation Board, because of the Orange Countya€TMS
emphasis on innovation, and growth over the next twenty years. For me, an opportunity to add
value to the incredible on-going work at in Orange County will be a long-term investment in the
organization, and my commitment to be a Tar-Heel.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I am a JD/MBA student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I would like to get
involved in helping your team to implement the Durham-Orange Light Rail project. With my
background in entrepreneurship and the law, I could be a tremendous free asset for your team

Page 4 of 4 David Mansor
My life experiences distinguish me from other candidates.
I am determined to be successful despite growing up with two parents who suffer from drug
addictions. I have overcome spending my middle school years living in a crack house with my
little brother John. After raising my brother in that environment for nearly two years, my house
was raided by SWAT and we were placed in a Child Protective Services (CPS)group home. The
group home was toxic, we were abused, and no one expected us to succeed.
However, I learned that you need to be aware of the opportunities that exist through creative
application of rules and regulations. CPS allocates funds per child for living expenses, and by
leveraging CPSA€TMs resources in combination with private scholarships, we were able to get
out of the group home for the summers. Fortunately, my brother received three scholarships to
attend a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains. I was privileged to participate in three
programs: a service trip to build a cafeteria in Belize, an exchange trip to China, and even spent
a summer at Harvard. I want to apply my ability to identify creative strategies has enabled me to
see tremendous opportunities that have been overlooked.

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.

34
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.

30 years as a resident and city planning/land development consultant in Orange County, Chapel
Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. Thorough knowledge of the role of the Planning Board and a
background in economic development and housing development within the County. I was the
primary consultant to the owner/developer of the Waterstone Development and initiated the
conversations with County Commissioners and Durham Tech that resulted in the location of the
Orange County Campus within that development.
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
Pragmatic experience in realistic agricultural land preservation, the economics of development,
community design, and the relationship of County planning and economic development efforts in
conjunction with the Town of Hillsborough. In addition, I have been developing Fiscal Impact
analyses for proposed developments and local government comprehensive plans for about 40
years, including the Fiscal Impact analysis of Waterstone and several development proposals in
Chapel Hill and Durham.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
While a planning board is charged with providing advice and recommendations to the
Commissioners on planning, zoning and development matters; it is a board that should [and in
Orange County does] provide a thorough sounding board location for residents, businesses and
county government entities especially- more specific topical advisory boards -to merge the
conversations about needs and desires for our future community. As product, the board seek to
synthesize and develop proposed plans to reach the community goals, plans then vetted through
a broad review process ending up in the hands of the elected commissioners for adoption and or
modification and adoption.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
As strange as it may sound to many, making sure our public education system [Orange County,
Chapel Hill - Carrboro, and Durham Tech] provides a thorough education for all our residents.
Without adequate education, good employment opportunities and economic growth for all
residents will be limited and reduce our ability to provide the quality of life conditions we want for
all. Beyond this, I believe that the limitations on the extension of public water and sewer beyond
the current limited areas around Hillsborough and Chapel Hill/Carrboro need to be re-examined
and I believe it is the role of the County to initiate this discussion.
37

What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?
I think one of the most important roles should be an annual review of movement toward
accomplishing the Board of Commissioners adopted Goals and Priorities. The Planning Board
should play a role in this process. Too often, changing conditions - especially those factors well
beyond local control -force us to recognize that the achievement of our goals must be pursued
via revised regulations. Witness the many changes made to local control by the current and
immediately past NC State Legislature.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
I am a strong supporter of the adopted goals and priorities-especially the social equity issues. Other than
comprehensive planning,the planning board s major interaction with many of these goals is encouraging and
measuring if and how proposed private[and public]development meets community goals AND provides safe, livable
neighborhoods and business areas.

overlaps with municipal and ETJ concerns.
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?

degraded,that our economic base is improved without diminishing the environment.
