Item 5 Rocky Hill Master Plan Abandonment/New High School SUP

Persons wishing to testify in the matter were sworn. Mr. Horton requested that additional materials be entered into the record of the hearing. Mayor Broun concurred with the request.

Planning Director Roger Waldon said staff recommended adoption of Resolutions A (abandoning the Rocky Hill master plan), B (approving the New High School Special Use Permit) and E. Mr. Waldon briefly reviewed key issues surrounding the proposal. He noted that staff was ready to respond to questions by the Council.

Neil Pedersen, Superintendent of Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools, said Town and Department of Transportation staff had supported the location of the proposed high school relative to safety design matters. Mr. Pedersen said the sight distance to the east of the proposed main entrance was about 550 feet, almost 200 feet more than required in a 35 MPH speed limit zone. He also stated that proposed parking was adequate rather than excessive. Mr. Pedersen noted that the Town's Development Ordinance required the provision of 250 parking spaces while 302 spaces were proposed. He also said there had been successful discussions with residents of Chandler's Green subdivision relative to the provision of a pedestrian entrance to the school site. Mr. Pedersen said the school district was agreeable to the proposed conditions of approval outlined in Resolution B.

Transportation Board Chairperson Richard Franck said the Board had

recommended disapproval of the request on the basis of access and transportation management plan concerns at its February 1st meeting. Mr. Franck added that the Board had reviewed a revised transportation management plan at its March 15th and again recommended disapproval of the special use permit request. He noted that the Board felt that a proposed $40 annual student parking fee did not reflect the true cost of parking or serve as a sufficient incentive to educate students about the use of alternative transit.

Mr. Franck stated that the school district had indicated its willingness to give up overflow parking spaces at Cedar Falls Park, with the exception of special events. He said the school's proposed transportation management plan undermined mass transportation alternatives. Mr. Franck concluded his remarks by noting that three years ago the Council had charged the Transportation Board with making a report on reducing the use of single-occupant vehicles. He said that two recent development proposals, the Home Health Agency and Southern Village had offered good alternative transportation plans.

Allen Spalt, a Carrboro resident and member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools long-range facilities committee, said the need for a new high school was well-documented. He stated that when his son graduated from Chapel Hill High School in 1993, there were 390 students in his class. Mr. Spalt said this contrasted with about 600 students in his daughter's 1997 senior class. He urged the Council not to shortchange safety or environmental concerns in considering the proposed high school's special use permit.

Madeline Mitchell, a Town resident, said she had had at least one child in Chapel Hill High School for the past nine years. Ms. Mitchell said she was concerned that the Transportation Board had voted against proposal. Ms. Mitchell also said she was troubled by the proposal to reduce the number of parking spaces at the school. Ms. Mitchell stated that as a parent and volunteer, she was frustrated by the lack of parking spaces at Chapel Hill High School for parents and other visitors to the campus. Ms. Mitchell stated that approximately 1150 juniors and seniors at the proposed high school would have to fend for approximately 300 parking spaces under the current parking proposal. Noting the current overcrowding at Chapel Hill High School, Ms. Mitchell urged the Council to approve the special use permit, even on a contingency basis.

Scott Radway expressed concern that there had been no discussion of whether or not the best site for a high school had been selected. He said the Council would be well-served to evaluate this matter. Mr. Radway also inquired what would happen to the remainder of frontage on the former Rocky Hill master plan site. Stating that if the Rocky Hill master plan were abandoned all roadway improvements might not be completed, Mr. Radway suggested that the Council consider not abandoning the Rocky Hill master plan. He also suggested that the developers of Rocky Hill be required to make roadway improvements to Weaver Dairy Road.

Bruce Sampsell, representing Chesley Homeowners Association, said his neighbors were not at peace with plans for the proposed new high school. Mr. Sampsell especially expressed concern that the Chesley neighborhood's recommendation concerning siting of the school entrance was ignored in the staff's recommendation memorandum to the Council. He also stated that Hakan-Corley had presented an unbalanced analysis of traffic, parking and safety-related matters. Mr. Sampsell also expressed concern that pedestrian safety issues had been virtually ignored in the project proposal.

Jane Williams said the staff's memorandum did not adequately address a number of concerns including pedestrian safety. Ms. Williams stated that student's lives were unnecessarily being placed at risk. Ms. Williams suggested that a crosswalk to the high school be signalized. She urged the Council to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation, Resolution C, providing safe access for pedestrians and vehicles.

Mark Williams said he had addressed the Council at their February 22nd hearing, expressing concern about the apparently superficial treatment of vehicle and pedestrian safety matters relative to the high school proposal. Mr. Williams stated that there appeared to be no substantive changes in the applicant's proposal from that suggested at the earlier hearing. He said it was desirable to have a bus-only entrance on to Sunrise Road. In urging the Council to adopt the Planning Board recommendation, Resolution C, Mr. Williams said this offered the safest and most reasonable alternatives in conditions of approval.

Bob Reda, Co-President of the Chandler's Green Homeowners Association, said his organization concurred with the Manager's recommendation with the exception of an entrance on Sunrise Road. Mr. Reda also requested that the Council approve Resolution E in its entirety, as an instrumental means for the School Board to work with the community. Mr. Reda noted that the Chandler's Green Homeowners Association was amenable to permitting emergency access to the school grounds through their neighborhood.

Everette Meserve, a resident of Sweeten Creek Road in Chandler's Green, noted that his daughter currently was an eighth grade student in Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools. He urged the Council to think about "the customer", students at the proposed high school, in their decision-making process. Mr. Meserve inquired whether the proposed two entrances were being suggested for the convenience of the students or bus drivers. Mr. Meserve said he would rather see funds expended on improving the quality of education rather than constructing additional entrances to the proposed high school.

Ralph Abrahams, Co-President of the Chandler's Green Homeowners Association, expressed concern that the corner of Sunrise Road and Weaver Dairy Road would experience a traffic service level of "F" if automobile access were provided onto Sunrise Road from the proposed high school site. He urged the Council not to anticipate the need for expansion until the initial part of the project was completed. Mr. Abrahams also said he and his neighbors supported the objective of reducing traffic through neighborhoods. Mr. Abrahams said he supported the School Board's proposal to locate the school's bus entrance across from Cedar Falls Park as a means of protecting the integrity of area neighborhoods.

David Lacy, representing the Carol Woods retirement community, said he concurred with Mr. Abraham's comments, especially about the proposed addition of an entrance onto Sunrise Road in the first phase of the project.

Council Member Pavão said he had read through the applicant's and staff's materials several times and felt the reports were superficial. Council Member Pavão said he found it troubling that none of the approximately fifteen questions raised at the February 22nd had been addressed seriously in the applicant' s follow-up report. He requested that the applicant review the questions for a more in-depth review, including the possible relocation of the Cedar Falls Park entrance. Noting that other possible school sites in the southern part of the Town had not been adequately explored, Council Member Pavão said he could not recommend approval of the special use permit this evening until he heard from his Council colleagues.

Mayor Broun said the possibility of moving the Cedar Falls Park entrance was not necessarily tied to the special use permit. He stated that the Town could possibly handle this matter separately from the requested permit. Council Member Pavão said placing the school's main entrance across from the park entrance could possibly avoid future safety problems. Mayor Broun suggested possibly moving the school entrance a little to the west, not necessarily within the context of the special use permit for the school. Council Member Pavão said his primary concern was that this option had not been examined.

Noting that Council Member Pavão's suggestion about the possible entrance relocation was an interesting one, Council Member Waldorf inquired about the staff's and applicant's comments on the proposal. Mr. Horton said he though it was possible to relocate the park entrance in spite of drainage problems which would need to be resolved. He added that the proposed park entrance relocation site would be near the rear yards of some homes in the Chesley neighborhood. Mr. Horton said he believed that the applicant would be able to move the park's entrance somewhat to the north. Mr. Redfoot, the applicant's representative, said this was correct. Council Member Pavão said it might have been in the public's best interest to have explored this possibility at an earlier point.

Council Member Waldorf inquired whether there was any standard for minimum distances between traffic signals. George Alexiou, the applicant's traffic engineer, said since there were no national standards, they varied from state to state. He added that traffic signals had a desirable separation of 900 feet. Mr. Alexiou also said the North Carolina Department of Transportation had carefully examined the site and determined that the proposed signal locations were safe.

Council Member Capowski thanked the proposed high school's neighbors for their positive outlooks. Noting the importance of safety, Council Member Capowski inquired which entrance configuration was most safety. Mr. Alexiou said the configuration proposed in the Manager's recommendation was the safest one since it involved the least roadway curvature in terms of sight distance.

Council Member Capowski said he was disappointed in the applicant's alternative site analyses since it appeared that all buildings and ball fields were in the same locations as originally proposed. Mr. Redfoot said the proposed building and playing field locations had been determined and balanced after months of meetings with Town staff, the school board and area residents. He stated that the ball fields adjacent to the Chandler's Green subdivision offered the most sensitive relationship between neighbors on Sweeten Creek Road and the proposed high school site.

Council Member Brown said the proposed site of the main entrance was considerably to the east of where she had been initially led to believe that the entrance would be located. Council Member Brown also expressed concern that the proposed entrance was much closer to a curve than she had anticipated. Noting that speeds in the area tended to be excessive, she inquired whether Department of Transportation standards were measured at the posted speed limit or some other level. Mr. Lacy said the Department of Transportation had worked from the proposed site plan using the posting speed limit and actual observed speeds for making sight distance calculations. He said all sight distances were satisfied between 45 and 55 miles per hour.

Council Member Powell asked whether there was any actual Department of Transportation standard requiring that traffic signals be sited at least 900 feet apart. Mr. Lacy stated that outside of downtown areas, traffic signals were spaced considerably further apart. He added that traffic flows were greatly improved by less intersection conflicts. Mr. Lacy said although it was conceivable, the Department of Transportation might be reluctant to approve signalized intersections less than 900 feet apart.

Mayor Broun said he thought the Council had received a good analysis from the applicant and their professional planner and architects. Mayor Broun also said he was comfortable that the staff had carefully examined the overall proposal and safety-related concerns. Mayor Broun stated that he agreed with Council Member Pavão's suggestion of possibly moving the Cedar Falls Park entrance in the future.

Noting that the same site plan as originally outlined at the February 22nd was still being proposed, Council Member Pavão suggested that the Council consider spending some more time on this matter.

Council Member Evans emphasized the importance of making the site as safe as possible for pedestrians and bicyclists to the school. She inquired whether the applicant was willing to equally split the cost of a temporary or permanent asphalt sidewalk with the Town, connecting the Countryside neighborhood to existing sidewalk in the area.

Council Member Protzman said residents of Chandler's Green subdivision had made a number of concessions. He stated that Sunrise Drive was not intended to handle school buses. Council Member Protzman also said there were not sufficient plans for sidewalks and bicycles. He suggested moving the bus entrance so it would not interfere with traffic at the intersection of Weaver Dairy Road and Sunrise Drive. Council Member Protzman said if this necessitated moving the entrance to Cedar Falls Park, he hoped the school board would pay to relocate the entrance.

Council Member Powell said she was very concerned that there had not been enough attention paid to safety matters in the applicant's proposal. Council Member Powell requested a clarification of the Planning Board's position on the proposed location of the bus entrance to the school. Mr. Waldon briefly reviewed the Board's recommendation. Noting the times that school buses would enter and leave the site would be busy ones, Council Member Powell said she did not see the roadway and turning situation as a safe one. Mr. Waldon stated that bus turning movements would be helped by a traffic signal approximately 550 feet away. Council Member Powell inquired about the likelihood of a traffic light being in place when the school opened. Mr. Horton said Town staff could work with the area's Department of Transportation member on special matters of this type. Mr. Horton also stated that he hoped the Mayor and Council would direct staff to work with the school system to have a traffic signal installed in the future.

Noting the importance of a good transportation management plan, Council Member Brown requested an assurance that not every junior and senior at the school requesting a parking permit would receive one. Mr. Pedersen stated that since only 250 parking spaces would be available for a total of 500 juniors and seniors at the proposed high school, not all students would be able to obtain parking permits. He added that preference would be given to students who needed to drive to school and seniors. Council Member Brown inquired about other actions which could be taken to assure a closed lunchtime campus at the proposed school. Mr. Pedersen said School Board President Ken Touw believed this should be a site-based decision. He added that the School Board would very likely have a strong sentiment for a closed lunchtime campus.

Council Member Brown inquired about the staff's response to Warren Faircloth's concerns about dams and ponds on the school site. Mr. Waldon said staff had requested that the applicant respond to these concerns. Mike Hammersley said he and John Hawley of the State's Division of Environmental Management had met at the site to address Mr. Faircloth's concerns. Noting that Mr. Faircloth would not be responsible for monitoring the site, Mr. Hammersley stated that Mr. Faircloth had endorsed the applicant's proposed handling of dam and ponding safety issues on the site. Council Member Brown noted that Mr. Faircloth had also expressed concern about erosion control and drainage. Mr. Hammersley said the applicant had prepared an erosion control plan to address these types of concerns.

Council Member Capowski stated that the proposed entrance onto Sunrise Road was really another entrance onto Weaver Dairy Road via another left turn.

Responding to Council Member Evans earlier inquiry about the provision of an asphalt sidewalk, Mr. Touw said the School District was willing to pay one-half the cost of approximately 1,000 feet of asphalt sidewalk relative to the high school proposal.

Council Member Chilton said he wanted to see the applicant provide more specifics about the high school's proposed transportation plan. He stated that the proposed annual parking permit fee of $40 was less than one-ninth of the commercial rate for parking. Council Member Chilton said this would contribute to traffic problems at the site. Noting that the median age of Orange County residents was 24.9 years, Council Member Chilton stated that the leading cause of death for persons 16 to 25 years of age was motor vehicle accidents. Council Member Chilton said he was far from

convinced that the applicant's proposal was adequately safe from a traffic standpoint.

Council Member Capowski stated that the applicant's topographical maps indicated that a football field was proposed on top of a hill, with 75 foot tall lighting towers. Noting the lights possible impact on surrounding neighborhoods, Council Member Capowski inquired about the possibility of shielding the lights and having lower light towers. Mr. Redfoot said 75 feet was the minimum height to provide adequate lighting of the football field. He added that there was no way to shroud the lighting fixtures. Mr. Redfoot accepted the proposed conditions of approval outlined in Resolution 1b.

COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 1B, WITH THE ADDITION OF A STIPULATION THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE AN ASPHALT PATH FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE ACCESS ROAD TO THE CHESLEY SIDEWALK, THE COST OF WHICH WAS TO BE SHARED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND TOWN, AND REALIGN THE CEDAR FALLS PARK ENTRANCE TO ALIGN WITH THE MAIN SCHOOL ENTRANCE.

Council Member Waldorf asked whether Council Member Evans was proposing separate bus and automobile entrances which were separate but close. Council Member Evans said she hoped that automobile traffic would be separate from bus traffic. Council Member Brown asked where the bus entrance would be relative to the main entrance. Mayor Broun asked whether the proposed alignment would be changed from the Manager's recommendation. Council Member Evans said she did not anticipate that the alignment would change very

much. Mr. Redfoot emphasized the importance of having a clear entrance and drop-off point for buses.

Council Member Brown asked whether the proposal was to move the main entrance to the west to an existing dirt road. Mr. Redfoot said this was correct. Council Member Capowski said he was not sure what would happen with the bus entrance if the main entrance were moved to align with a new entrance to Cedar Falls Park.

Mr. Redfoot briefly the two proposed entrances to the school site.

Mayor Broun asked whether the proposed sidewalk cost suggested by the applicant was realistic. Mr. Horton said he was willing to trust the applicant's guesswork. He added that the applicant had agreed to pay one-half the cost of the proposed sidewalk. Council Member Capowski inquired about the limits of the proposed sidewalk. Mr. Horton said it would extend from Countryside subdivision to the end of sidewalks at Chesley subdivision. Mr. Redfoot said the applicant could study sidewalk connections and make appropriate follow-up reports to the staff.

Council Member Brown inquired about the possibility of adding conditions relative to parking and transportation matters. Mr. Horton said although he recommended that School Board be given a strong admonition about what measures were desired, it was not appropriate to include this level of detail as a condition of approval. Mr. Karpinos said the admonition could note the Council's desire that the School Board consider a closed campus and other possibilities to discourage the use of automobiles during the school day. Council Member Chilton suggested the establishment of competitive parking fees at the proposed high school.

Council Member Protzman inquired about the possibility of the School District sharing the cost for relocating the entrance to Cedar Falls Park. Mr. Touw said although this would be possible if the Council required the School District to do so, it was strongly preferable to use available funds for classroom and school technology items.

COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAVÃO, TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO REQUIRE THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SHARE THE COST FOR RELOCATING THE ENTRANCE TO CEDAR FALLS PARK.

Noting that the Town would incur a number of expenses relative to the proposed high school, Council Member Brown inquired about the possibility of requesting that Orange County assist with additional expenses to make project safety improvements. Mr. Horton said although Town staff could make this request, he had no idea how well the request would be received by Orange County.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON CALLED THE QUESTION ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT. THE MOTION FAILED BY A VOTE OF 3-6, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS CAPOWSKI, PAVÃO AND PROTZMAN VOTING AYE.

COUNCIL MEMBERS EVANS AND WALDORF AGREED TO TEMPORARILY WITHDRAW THE MAIN MOTION.

COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER POWELL, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 1A.

Council Member Brown requested staff comment on the request for abandonment of the Rocky Hill Master Land Use Plan. Mr. Waldon stated that the request for abandonment was quite straightforward in that if a master plan were approved and no action to pursue it were taken, the property owners could request abandonment of the master plan. Mr. Karpinos stated that the remaining portion of the Rocky Hill master plan not covered by the proposed high school special use permit would be subject to Council review for future development applications relative to Weaver Dairy Road improvements. Mayor Broun said Mr. Radway was referencing improvements to Weaver Dairy Road not included in the high school proposal. Mr. Karpinos said there was no legal basis to require the roadway improvements if the Rocky Hill Master Plan were abandoned.

RESOLUTION 1A WAS ADOPTED BY A VOTE OF 8-1, WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON VOTING NO.

A RESOLUTION ABANDONING THE ROCKY HILL MASTER LAND USE PLAN

(MLUP 25..13) (94-3-28/R-1a)

WHEREAS, on January 8, 1990, the Council approved the Master Land Use Plan for the Rocky Hill development containing 323 dwelling units and 30,000 square feet of commercial and office floor area on approximately 112 acres of gross land area at the intersection of Weaver Dairy Road and Sunrise Road; and

WHEREAS, on February 8, 1993, the Council approved a two-year extension of the Master Land Use Plan for the Rocky Hill development; and

WHEREAS, the Council has determined that no subsequent development approvals have been granted and no construction activity has taken place pursuant to the Rocky Hill Master Plan;

BE IT RESOLVED that the Council hereby approves the request for abandonment of the Rocky Hill Master Land Use Plan in accordance with the plans and conditions listed above.

This the 28th day of March, 1994.

COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 1B, AS AMENDED.

Mr. Horton said he interpreted the stipulation concerning the entrance relocation to mean that the Council would not wish the Manager to approve the plan unless it was reasonable to move the entranceway as far to the northwest as possible.

Council Member Capowski said he had counted 140 improperly parked cars at Chapel Hill High School on a recent school day. He noted that although pedestrian and bicycle facilities needed to be provided, the high school administration was responsible for accommodating the automobiles it attracted. Noting the importance of automobiles to teenagers, Council Member Capowski said he found it difficult to believe that a transportation management plan including only 300 parking spaces for students would work.

COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI SUGGESTED AMENDING RESOLUTION B TO REQUIRE THE ANCILLARY PARKING (120 SPACES) BE CONSTRUCTED IN PHASE ONE, RATHER THAN PHASE TWO OF THE PROJECT, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF AN ALTERNATE ENTRANCE OFF SUNRISE DRIVE. THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

Council Member Brown asked whether the proposed location to Cedar Falls Park was in a speculative rather than an absolute stage. Mr. Horton said the only way to be certain in this matter would be for the Council to adopt a project budget for an engineering study.

Council Member Chilton said the school system and staff needed to work on the proposed transportation management plan. He expressed concern that local property tax monies might be used to subsidize parking spaces for high school students. Council Member Chilton said this was not an appropriate use of Town funds.

RESOLUTION 1B, AS AMENDED, WAS ADOPTED BY A VOTE OF 7-2, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS PAVÃO AND PROTZMAN VOTING NO.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR A NEW HIGH SCHOOL (SUP 25..13A) (94-3-28/R-1b)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that it finds that the new high school, proposed by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System, on approximately 74 acres of gross land area identified as Chapel Hill Township Tax Map 25, Lot 13A, if developed according to the site plan dated December 22, 1993 (revised January 3 1994):

This the 28th day of March, 1994.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION E.

Council Member Brown inquired about costs of the proposal. Mr. Horton said staff did not know the exact costs. Council Member Capowski said Resolution E was a superb one which was badly needed.

Item 6 Public Housing Budget

Mr. Horton briefly reviewed the proposed resolutions. Mayor Broun noted that there were no citizens wishing to speak on the matters.

COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT TO ADDRESS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR NEEDS FOR PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENCES IN CHAPEL HILL AND CARRBORO (94-3-28/R-2)

This the 28th day of March, 1994.

Item 7 Stormwater Management Committee Status Report

Stormwater Management Committee representative and former Mayor pro tem Art Werner said the Committee had been created by the Council in 1991 in response to flooding concerns. He noted that the Committee hoped to make its final recommendations to the Council by the end of the summer, with Committee dissolution occurring shortly thereafter. Mr. Werner presented an overview of the Committee's recent activities, noting that 60-70% of the Town-wide inventory of stormwater drainage structures had been completed.

He added that the main stormwater drainage pipes in the Town had been constructed in an ad hoc fashion. Mr. Werner said the Committee was also examining how the Council might wish to modify the Development Ordinance relative to stormwater management matters, including strategies to decrease impervious surface areas and methods for financing of stormwater management infrastructure.

Mr. Werner said Town staff was attempting to map all area streams as a means of monitoring water quality concerns. He added that sampling at eight area streams had found that the water quality in the streams was fair. On behalf of the Committee, Mr. Werner thanked Town staff, especially Mike Neal, for their capable assistance to the Committee.

Council Member Capowski asked whether the Committee would make recommendations to the Council on types of construction and possibilities for flooding. Mr. Werner said the Committee was

examining drainage mapping as a means of identifying sensitive drainage areas in the Town. He noted that the Committee would likely recommend that the Council require developers of projects beyond a certain size to run hydro models to determine drainage impacts within basins and on neighboring properties.

Council Member Brown inquired about water quality in the Cape Fear Basin as related to the study and referenced in the text. Mr. Werner said chemical monitoring of this area indicated that the level of biological health was excellent.

Council Member Evans inquired about the Committee's recommendations concerning sunset provisions. Mr. Werner said the Committee had been meeting over a longer time period than originally anticipated. He noted that most of the Committee's programs could be continued by Town staff, possibly with the addition of a part-time person to assist with these duties. Mr. Werner said the Town of Carrboro was interested in participating in a joint water quality monitoring program.

Council Member Brown asked whether any water quality monitoring was occurring at the University's cogeneration facility. Mr. Werner said such monitoring was required by the State of North Carolina. He noted that OWASA shared its monitoring data with the Stormwater Management Committee.

Item 8 Landfill Owners Group Budget Proposals

Council Member Chilton said he was seeking the Council's guidance as the Council's representative on the Landfill Owner's Group (LOG). He briefly reviewed possible new programs for inclusion in the LOG's budget including the establishment of a permanent household hazardous waste program, a reserve fund for a future landfill, expansion of rural curbside recycling and increasing amounts available for waste reduction grants. Council Member Chilton said he believed that the Landfill Owners Group should have steady increases in the landfill tipping fee, rather than large staggered increases. He also emphasized the importance of building up adequate capital to handle new landfill costs.

Mayor Broun inquired when the LOG would make a decision on its final recommended budget. Council Member Chilton said the LOG would likely recommend a $2 per ton increase for mixed solid waste and clean wood waste and a $1 per ton increase for ash. Council Member Waldorf noted that the tipping fee for ash disposal was always a careful negotiation with the University. Council Member Chilton noted that the proposed fee increases would impact both the Town and University.

Council Member Evans asked whether proposed recycling bins in the downtown area would be handled in conformance with the Town's proposed Streetscape Plan. Council Member Chilton said this was correct. Ms. Loewenthal said the proposal was currently being examined by the Appearance Commission. Council Member Evans inquired whether the proposed salvage sheds might be in opposition to fundraising efforts by area schools. Council Member Chilton asked whether Town staff had talked to the PTA about this possibility. Public Works Director Bruce Heflin said there had been some preliminary discussions with area schools about this matter.

Council Member Evans noted the possible impact of increased tipping fees on small business persons and on the possibility for more roadside dumping. Council Member Capowski asked whether the landfill budget had the same investment restrictions as other Town funds. Ms. Loewenthal said this was correct. Noting that saver's interest rates were at very low rates, Council Member Capowski said it was a good time to concentrate on debt repayment.

Council Member Brown expressed concern that there was a lack of program evaluation information about programs added over the last few years. She said the Landfill Owners Group proposed budget appeared to be more of a public relations, rather than a waste reduction, budget. Noting that the Council would have the ultimate decision-making authority on the proposed LOG budget, Council Member Chilton said additional detailed information would be provided to the Council in the future. He also noted that rural recycling programs were not that much more expensive than urban programs in terms of costs per ton.

Noting the importance of receiving good program evaluations, Council Member Brown said she believed it was important to invest in waste reduction type programs. Council Member Chilton noted that there was really no objective way to determine whether or not individual programs were worthwhile since the elected boards would ultimately make these determinations.

Mayor Broun said he had real concerns about the proposed increase in landfill tipping fees. He suggested that the Landfill Owners Group needed the types of evaluations suggested by Council Member Brown for existing programs. Mayor Broun also emphasized the need for an evaluation of whether saving of funds or reduction of debt was a better use of landfill budget funds.

Council Member Protzman said although some of the proposed programs made a lot of sense, he shared some of the same concerns as Council Member Brown about the need to divert funds to address the most important current landfill priorities. Council Member Chilton said the Landfill Owners Group could identify areas for possible reductions. Council Member Brown said increases in tipping fees could possibly be offset by reductions in the amount of waste sent to the landfill.

Item 9 Proposed Sewer Loan Program

Planning Coordinator Chris Berndt provided an overview of key issues concerning the proposed program. She said staff recommended that the Council consider ten year deferred loans at zero percent interest, serving households having less than 80% of the area's median income. Ms. Berndt stated that Resolution A would establish a program using Community Development and half-cent sales tax funds.

Flicka Bateman asked why loans instead of grants, were being proposed. She inquired how the Town would keep track of the loan repayments to the Housing Loan Trust Fund. Ms. Bateman also asked why the loans would be a flat amount rather than a percentage. She stated that a flat rate program would be easier to administer.

Henry Lister said the proposed program involved a number of complex questions. He stated that a loan program with payments being made to a low-income housing fund appeared to be punitive in nature. Noting the difficult financial circumstances of the program's applicants, Mr. Lister said a grant process was preferable to a loan process. He said the Council's original intent appeared to be to have a grant program to cover a significant portion of sewer assessment costs.

Mr. Horton said the staff would be glad to respond to the citizen's concerns. He said a follow-up report could be made at the April 11th meeting.

Council Member Capowski requested that the staff's follow-up report contain information on how much staff time would be needed to administer the loan program, what would limit the pot of available funds, whether funds repaid to the Housing Loan Trust Fund would need to be used for sewer purposes and whether listed recipients and related financial statements would be considered public documents. Council Member Capowski also said he thought it would be a bad idea to provide subsidies to persons such as medical residents, solely in Town for education purposes.

Mr. Lister said he supported the Housing and Community Development Board's recommendation of providing subsidies to individuals and families earning less than 60% of the area's median income.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER POWELL TO REFER THE MATTER TO STAFF. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY

(9-0).

Item 10 Calling Hearing on Use of Horace Williams Property

Mr. Horton said the Town had received a letter from Chancellor Hardin requesting that the Council conduct a forum on a possible cooperative master development plan for the Horace Williams Property, rather than a hearing on rezoning of the property.

Council Member Protzman said although he liked the idea of a public forum on the proposal, he was also concerned with the proposed delay of the public hearing until January 16, 1995. He suggested that the Council consider amending the proposed resolution to hold a hearing within 90-120 days of the forum rather than holding the hearing on January 16, 1995. Mayor Broun inquired about the possibility of scheduling the hearing at the April 18th forum. Council Member Protzman said he favored holding a hearing within ninety days of the forum.

Former Council Member Julie Andresen, representing Citizens for Airport Planning, noting that the site plan review process was slow said it was prudent to proceed with rezoning of the Horace Williams property as soon as possible. She also emphasized the importance of receiving timely feedback from citizens on the University's plans for the Horace Williams tract. Noting the difficulty of grasping abstract ideas, Ms. Andresen said it was important for citizens to be able to comment on specific development proposals.

Diane Bloom, representing Citizens for Airport Planning, urged the Council to go ahead with a public forum and zoning hearing on the Horace Williams property as soon as possible. She added that putting stronger zoning into place would protect the property's neighbors from negative development impacts.

Council Member Chilton said although he appreciated the points made by members of the public, he did not believe that development of the property would take place in the near future. He suggested that the Council not rush into rezoning of the Horace Williams property.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 6, AS PROPOSED.

Council Member Chilton said he did not believe that holding the hearing on January 16, 1995 would cause an undue delay.

COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI, TO AMEND RESOLUTION TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE APRIL 18TH PUBLIC FORUM ON THE HORACE WILLIAMS PROPERTY.

Council Member Brown asked how long it took to rezone for large lots. Mr. Waldon said the rezoning of an existing property could be accomplished quite quickly following a public hearing on the rezoning proposal. He added that creation of a new zoning district would take somewhat longer to review and put in place.

Council Member Capowski suggested the possibility of tabling the matter to a later date. Mayor Broun said that Chancellor Hardin was requesting that the process for consideration of rezoning of the Horace Williams property be slowed down. Noting that the Council was a very public body, Council Member Capowski said the forum was a tremendous opportunity for the University to receive input on its proposals.

Council Member Protzman said he thought the Chancellor's request was a good one. Council Member Protzman stated that his goal in suggesting a nearer term public hearing was to provide the University with an opportunity to hear public comment in a timely fashion. He called the question on the proposed amendment to the main motion.

Expressing her appreciation for the Chancellor's suggestion, Council Member Brown emphasized the importance of the Council reviewing the principles relative to the University's proposal.

Mayor Broun said the main motion was to call a public forum on April 18th for a planning process for the Horace Williams property. Council Member Chilton said the main motion was an intelligent one which proceeded cautiously.

THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION, TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE APRIL 18TH FORUM WAS ADOPTED BY A VOTE OF 5-4, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS BROWN, CAPOWSKI, PAVÃO, PROTZMAN AND WALDORF VOTING AYE.

THE MAIN MOTION, RESOLUTION 6 AS AMENDED, WAS ADOPTED BY A VOTE OF 8-1, WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON VOTING NO.

A RESOLUTION CHANGING A PUBLIC HEARING ON APRIL 18, 1994 TO A PUBLIC FORUM (94-3-28/R-6)

WHEREAS, the Council has called a Public Hearing for April 18, 1994, to consider the following:

- Amendments to the Chapel Hill Development Ordinance, to create a new zoning district with characteristics appropriate to the Horace Williams property;

- Rezoning some or all of the Horace Williams property to this new district, or some combination of new and existing zoning districts; and

WHEREAS, University of North Carolina officials have requested delay of the zoning proposals, to be replaced by discussion of process for planning for development of the Horace Williams property;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Public Hearing for the two above-mentioned zoning proposals be postponed for a period not to exceed 120 days.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a Public Forum be scheduled for April 18, 1994, to discuss a process for planning for development of the Horace Williams property.

This the 28th day of March, 1994.

Council Member Waldorf asked whether the University would make the main presentation with an opportunity for citizen and Council comment. Mr. Horton said this was correct.

Noting the lateness of the hour, Council Member Chilton suggested tabling discussion of item 11, a process for allocating hotel and motel taxes. There were no objections to the suggestion.

Item 12 Consent Agenda

Council Member Evans suggested that staff draft an administrative policy on addressing removal of parking from area streets.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 8, THE CONSENT AGENDA, AS PRESENTED. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).
