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.

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? 36 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.

Familiar with basic OC planning regulations, ordinances. Citizen participant in economic development zone discussions early 2000 s. Have actively participated in numerous Chapel Hill and Carrboro land-use issues - notably initial Comprehensive Plan rework, UNC s Carolina North development agreement, small area planning process (Central West, Ephesus Church, 15-501 Corridor, Glenn Lennox, CH2O20, Rogers Road ETJ, Ephesus-Fordham form-based code district, etc.)over the last 17 years. I was involved in the UNC airport relocation discussions, became more familiar with rural Orange County development concerns as a member of OWASA and gave feedback on spurring economic development county-wide during several of the preliminary Orange County EDD discussions (and am interested in how those districts are evolving). Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 38 Page 2 of 3 Will Raymond Orange County is now implementing a refined LIDO and new economic policies that will have far reaching effects on land-use planning. I would like to serve as a conduit for citizen input and take a more active role in reviewing these new changes to help the BOCC get the best results for their initiatives. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. At the County level, I ve served as a citizen activist on numerous county-wide issues. Within Chapel Hill, I ve served on Chapel Hill s Technology Advisory Board, Horace-Williams Citizens Committee, Downtown Parking Task Force, Sustainable Community Visioning Task Force. As Chapel Hill s appointee to OWASA, I have worked hard to maintain the highest fiscal and environmental standards throughout the organization. As the current Chair of the HR Committee, I ve emphasized policies that serve to bolster a productive and effective work force. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? I ve worked on a number of issues -social services, environment, transit and economic development-with County-wide impact and would bring a holistic perspective grounded in that experience. It s important that our wider community has access to the decisions that are made on their behalf and I d work hard to improve communication and participation by our citizens in this key governmental process. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The Board has both operational and strategic responsibilities. Strategically, the Board reviews relevant policy changes by other Board s for impacts on land-use policy. The Board is responsible for analyzing changes within the UDO (and other regulatory frameworks)to make sure they align with the BOCC s goals as well as serving the general public good. Operationally, the Board reviews proposed projects to make sure they adhere to established regulatory requirements, align with BOCC initiatives, synchronize with economic, social and environmental goals. The Board can recommend improvements in plans and determine if variances in policy are warranted by an overriding public good. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Integration and consistency. Integration of municipal growth within Orange County. Integration of social, transit, economic and environmental policies with planning policy. Integration of policy within a wider regional context. Consistency within Orange County s own approach and overlaps with municipal and ETJ concerns. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board can take the time and provide the analysis to make sure our community is being well-served by growth. As Orange County grows we need to make sure that our citizens can continue to be able to afford to live here, that the quality of life we ve come to accept isn t degraded, that our economic base is improved without diminishing the environment. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? 39 Page 3 of 3 Will Raymond I have an established record of promoting transparency within the governance process and would like to work on improving communication between the Board and the wider community on Planning issues.

I d work to make sure our Planning policies encourage an economically and socially diverse community.

I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process. The planning process can be confusing (even to me), so hearing everyone s thoughts and opinions are very helpful. I understand people s trepidation and concern about changes in this community. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 41 Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical. Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes.

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 45 Page 2 of 3 Nathaniel Zarzar home county s future. Conflict of Interest: None outside of my home-ownership Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. 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.
