September 2013
Four more interviews this week and a forum. I am looking forward to my interview with the AFL-CIO tomorrow. Then Saturday Morgan Cr./Kings Mill Neighborhood forum in the morning and Sierra Club interviews in the afternoon. At this rate, I will have met every Chapel Hill voter by the time the elections roll around... at least every one who is planning on voting. There are so many interest groups and associations in our town! We really understand the power of working together.
What a wonderful town we live in!!!

Hi all, I attended the obey creek meeting last night and I noticed that George C and Sally Greene were sitting together and talking . Just a thought is that a reason why George C did not decide to apply for the vacancy and support Sally and now decided to seek a council seat. Just a thought.

A public information meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, to receive comments and feedback on the 2013 Carolina North Development Agreement Annual Report to the Town of Chapel Hill.
The Town meeting will be hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill because of ongoing renovations to Town Council Chamber. The meeting will be held in the Magnolia Conference Room of the Giles F. Horney Building at 103 Airport Drive. Free parking is available, and Chapel Hill Transit serves the building via the NU route.
The report is posted at http://carolinanorth.unc.edu/, which also is where the public can access the Carolina North conservation areas baseline and initial monitoring reports done by a third-party monitor, the Triangle Land Conservancy.
Carolina North is envisioned as a mixed-use academic campus on university-owned property along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, two miles north of the main campus. University and Town representatives signed a development agreement in 2009 that covers the first 20 years of development on the site. The agreement contains guidelines and standards for the development of the first 3 million square feet of a mixed-use research and academic campus on 133 acres.
The annual report lets the Town and public know what development activities have occurred on the Carolina North site in the past year and the ways in which the University is complying with the terms of the development agreement. The report is part of the structure established by the agreement for providing continued town-gown communication. The report will also be posted online at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth.
Town Manager Roger Stancil will review the report and the public input before reporting on Oct. 28 to the Town Council on his review of the development agreement and its requirements.
Public input is welcome. Send comments about the annual report or other issues related to Carolina North at any time to carolinanorth@townofchapelhill.org or write Town of Chapel Hill Planning Department, Carolina North, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
Detailed information is available online at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index.aspx?page=900 and http://carolinanorth.unc.edu/. To be added to a mailing list to receive regular updates about the Carolina North development agreement, please contact info@townofchapelhill.org
