Planning and Zoning Cqmm~ss~on Minutes November 21, 2002 Page 2 Mr, Hdl sa~d one of the th~ngs he was concerned about is somewhere in there he read about standardizing all the budding fronts down Highway 73. He sa~d this was a s~mdar plan that k~nd of fad on Highway 29 because of c~tizen uproar. Mr, Hill sa~d ~t does not really make good sense. He said he take great umbrage w~th that particular area there. Hr. Lentz sa~d he th~nk that was not the intent. He sa~d on page 2 of his memo, Concord and Kannapohs their overlay districts that he is refemng to are modeled after the one the County already has in place, He said the purpose of that ~s to protect right-of-way and make sure that those setbacks are far back enough that we are protecting that appropriate right-of-way for the future improvement, Hr. Lentz sa~d what he will bnng to the Board as part of that recommendation at a later date would be to make sure when Concord adopted the UDO that our thoroughfare overlay districts are still adequate and that we are all protecting the same amount of right-of-way and that sort of thing. He sa~d there ~s no intent to get ~nto architectural standards along that corndor, Hr. Lentz sa~d ~f the cities want to do that when they annex, that is up to them, but the County ~s not recommending to th~s board that we do something s~m~lar to H~ghway 29, He sa~d our only purpose ~s to protect right~of-way and to make sure that the access points are spaced ~n such a way that we are going to have good traffic movement. That ~s our only ~ntent. Hr. Hdl sa~d to Mr, Lentz that he would suggest that it be removed from the plan that he originally gave the Board. He said he th~nks probably the most important th~ng we should be dec~ding is the right-of-way footage. Hr. Hdl said he thinks the rest of ~t would probably fall in place once we get ~t put together. He sa~d he th~nks that is the recommendation you probably should be looking for at this time because we are probably premature on everything else, Once we get the right-of-way footage ~n place then everything will kindly come together and you can go revamp the plan. Mr, Hill said at this time it is pretty d~fficult to build a plan when you do not know where you are going. The Chair asked ~f there is a morton to return for a rewr~te or to approve or to deny?
