what
is

and
good

They

the
common
good

amen.
Thank

C
E
We
are
a
group
dedicated
individuals,
teachers,
parents
that
seek
to
grow
tennis
in
Alamance
County
ajtf
was
founded
in
1986
by
a
group
of
private
investors
and
business
individuals,
including
Jim
Powell,
Jim,
Tony,
fdfd,
hornaday,
Tom,
Parham
and
Willie
Williamson,
who
desire
to
grow
tennis
in
Alamance
County
through
expanded,
fundraising
and
charitable
donations.
The
ajtf
has
grown
to
be
able
to
support
tennis
programs
at
each
of
the
public
high
schools
in
Alamance
County,
a
first
of
its
kind
Middle
School
tennis
program.
E
That's
reached
150
junior
tennis
players,
each
season,
a
scholarship
fund
to
assist
players
with
equipment,
lessons
and
camps,
and
an
organization
that
sponsors
tennis
tournaments
throughout
the
years
to
spread
the
love
of
the
game
in
1995
a
group
of
these
same
enthusiasts
from
ajtf
desired.
It
was
time
for
a
new
tennis
facility
to
be
built
at
the
City
of
Burlington,
led
by
Jim
Tony,
a
professor
at
Elon
businessman,
FD
hornaday
Tom
Parham,
the
Elon
University
tennis
coach,
the
ajtf
partnered,
with
the
Burlington
Parks
and
Recreation.
E
To
help
make
this
new
tennis
facility
happen,
Guided
by
Harold,
Owen,
director
of
the
Burlington,
Parks
and
Recreation.
At
that
time,
a
plan
for
a
six
Court
facility
was
drawn
similar
to
the
Jimmy
Powell
Center
and
Elon.
However,
age
ATF
member
Jim
Tony
recognized
that
six
wasn't
enough.
He
desired
12
ports,
one
that
would
be
able
to
hose
the
North
Carolina
High
School
Athletic
Association,
to
take
place
at
this
new
facility.
E
The
Econo
economic
impact
of
these
events
of
bringing
tennis
players
into
Alamance
County,
along
with
the
growth
of
just
junior
tennis
in
our
area,
would
be
great
for
the
city
as
well
as
an
economic
boom
for
tennis
in
general.
Tony
wanted
a
bigger
and
better
tennis
facility,
and
that's
what
we've
got.
The
partnership
between
ajtf
and
the
Burlington
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
was
solidified.
A
12-port
facility
was
decided
on
and
the
rest,
as
we
say,
is
history.
E
Harold
Owen
hired
coach,
John
Walton,
who
was
one
of
the
greatest
hires
in
our
County,
to
run
the
Burlington
Tennis
Center
for
many
years,
John
Walton
served
as
the
the
president
of
ajtf
for
over
20
years,
coach
John
Watson,
passed
on
his
legacy
to
Randy
Scott,
who
now
runs
the
Burlington
Tennis
Center
and
serves
on
the
agtf
board.
That's.
E
Partnership
between
the
Alamance
junior
tennis
Foundation
is
only
growing
stronger
as
we
seek
to
continue
that
Legacy
with
the
Burlington
Tennis
Center.
So
in
recognition
of
this
Dynamic
and
growing
partnership,
we
would
like
to
thank
the
Bronx
recreation
and
parks
department
and
the
Burlington
Tennis
Center
for
having
a
significant
impact
in
Alamance
County.
As
a
token
of
our
appreciation.
E
C
Hand
so
everybody
knows
well,
first
of
all,
the
community
support
of
any
Endeavor
is
extremely
important,
but
this
one
has
Legacy
and
it's
neat
hearing
the
story
and
it's
very
we're
very
appreciative
of
the
donation.
But
the
support
in
having
you
guys
here
as
well
so
y'all
come
down.
I
G
On
behalf
of
the
recreation
department,
I
just
want
to
show
my
appreciation
and
compliment
the
Alamance.
Junior
tennis,
Foundation
they've
been
partners
with
us
for
a
long
long
time,
and
he
mentioned
some
really
really
faithful
names.
Jim
Tony,
a
wonderful
person
knew
him
well
for
many
years
and
he
he
was
a
tireless
worker
and
did
a
lot
of
great
things.
It
would
not
take
any
recognition
right.
Harold
never
wanted
to
be
recognized
anything
he
did
and
a
lot
of
the
others
FD
Hornady
and
some
of
the
others.
G
You
mentioned
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
get
the
tennis
center,
kicked
off
right
and
and
still
supporting
it
today.
So
we
appreciate
everything
that
you
do.
For
tennis.
Tennis
is
a
really
popular
sport
in
Burlington,
Alamance
County
and
the
junior
tennis
Foundation,
but
that
middle
school
program
together
they
didn't
have
a
tennis
program
in
the
middle
school.
G
So
that's
been
a
great
achievement
and
not
only
do
they
funded
found,
coaches
for
all
the
teams,
and
so
it
really
started
a
program
that
was
needed
to
feed
the
high
school
teams
and
get
kids
involved
and
playing
tennis
at
an
early
age.
So,
thank
you
very
much
everything
you
all
do
and
thank
you
to
the
council
for
supporting
tennis
and
City
of
Burlington.
Thank
you.
Tony.
C
On
the
agenda,
this
is
an
action
item,
so
I
guess
we
need
to
formally
accept
this.
Is
there
a
motion
motion
to
approve
special?
You
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
signify
by
aye
post.
Thank
you.
We
appreciate
your
support
and
appreciate
you
all
being
here.
Thank
you
next
item
on
the
agenda's
code
of
ethics,
disclosing
any
conflicts
of
interest.
At
this
time,
we'll
recognize
city
clerk,
Beverly,
Smith,.
C
C
C
Our
next
item
is
our
public
hearings.
Public
hearing
number
one,
a
public
hearing
has
been
scheduled
to
consider
adopting
a
resolution
for
an
economic
development
incentives,
agreement
for
project
freeze
pop
and
adopt
a
resolution
in
support
of
a
building,
reuse,
Grant
application
to
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Commerce.
At
this
time,
we'll
recognize
economic
development,
director,
Peter
Bishop.
J
This
mayor,
if
I,
could
with
respect
to
this
agenda
item,
we
would
like
to
ask
if
that
was
wrong
at
this
time,
and
this
we
thought
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
release
the
name
of
the
company
instead
of
the
same
project.
Freeze
pop,
however,
the
company
is
still
going
through
the
state
incentive
process
and
they're
under
the
link
to
release
the
name
of
the
company.
J
So
we
would
like
to
ask
that
this
item
be
pulled
until
they
go
through
the
process
and
we're
able
to
announce
who
that
company
is.
J
They
were
looking
for
a
resolution,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
the
year,
so
I
think
we
do
have
plenty
of
time
that
we
could
able
to
do
that
as
well.
K
C
A
If
I
couldn't
absolutely
with
regard
to
both
items,
one
and
two
on
your
public
hearings
and
I
wanted
to
come
before
you
council
members
to
express
concerns
about
the
lack
of
transparency
in
the
city's
current
methodology
and
dealing
with
incentives
agreements.
Unfortunately,
the
city
manager
has
just
provided
one
more
illustration
of
that
lack
of
transparency.
A
In
fact,
we
learned
the
identity
of
one
of
the
companies
only
this
afternoon
at
4
23,
just
two
and
a
half
hours
before
this
meeting
when
the
city
manager
called
back
after
I'd
raised
concerns
with
him
earlier
in
the
afternoon
over
the
lack
of
information
available
on
the
proposals
that
are
on
your
agenda
tonight.
Mr
Mayor.
A
There
is
an
inherent
tension
between
our
newspaper
wanting
to
know
everything
right
away
all
the
time
and
that's
pretty
true
of
any
media
and
the
economic
developer,
and
the
city's
desire
we're
going
to
keep
everything
top
secret
until
the
last
possible
moment,
but
I'm
going
to
suggest
Mr
Mayor
that
there
should
be
some
middle
ground
that
can
serve
both
the
city
administrations
and
the
Public's
general
interest.
A
In
my
opinion,
you
need
a
different
procedure
than
one
which
amounts
to
ambushing
the
public
at
a
at
a
hearing
like
this
tonight,
in
which
they
do
not
know
the
amount
to
the
company
or
anything
about
it
until
the
meeting-
and
that's
that's
not
good
public
policy
in.
In
my
opinion,
I
mentioned
the
city
manager
during
our
afternoon
conversation
that
I
urge
the
council
to
adopt
a
similar
structure
to
the
one
adopted
by
the
county.
A
Commissioner,
several
years
ago,
in
fact,
when
Mr
Honeycutt
was
I,
think
the
the
county
manager
it
has
achieved
I
would
suggest
a
relatively
happy
medium.
A
blending
I
would
suggest
of
these
competing
interests.
That
methodology
sets
the
subsequent
public
hearing
on
incentives,
requests
at
a
public
meeting
when
the
incentives
package
to
a
named
company
that
the
name
of
the
company
is
announced
and
identifies
at
the
time
of
the
meeting.
But
the
details
of
the
incentive
package,
the
amount
of
money
being
planned
to
be
awarded
the
terms
how
many
years,
what
employment
parameters.
A
Between
the
announcement
and
the
public
hearing
so
similar
to
your
schedule
in
which
you
meet
every
two
weeks,
the
Commissioners
have
the
announcement
at
one
meeting
of
the
company
the
following
week.
They
announced
the
details
of
the
package
and
then
the
second
full
week
is
when
they
have
the
hearing
on
the
proposals.
A
You've
postponed
for
wanting
secrecy
project
freeze
pop
which,
by
reference
to
the
number
one
product
of
one
of
our
homegrown
companies
out
Matt's
Foods,
is
fairly
obvious,
not
too
good
a
secret
in
that
particular
little
incentive
name,
and
it
turns
out
the
second
one
which
you'll
come
to
in
a
minute
that
the
initials
wkr
are,
as
it
turns.
A
That
was
nowhere
indicated
in
anything
previously
the
secrecy
around
these
two
particular
incentives
is
particularly
unusual,
as
I
mentioned.
The
the
first
one
is
both
by
its
name,
project
freeze
pop
and
by
the
address,
which
is
included
in
the
information
which
anybody
looks
up
is
going
to
see
it's
Alamance
Foods
headquarters
on
Cedar,
Crest
Drive.
There's
just
no
need
to
have
all
this
secrecy
around
it.
A
A
The
the
proposal
apparently
is
to
cloak
a
SPEC
Building
in
secrecy,
and
yet
it's
very
clear
unclear
to
me
how,
in
the
world
you're
going
to
be
able
to
have
any
guarantee
of
a
payback
period,
an
employment
result
or
anything
we
enter.
The
whole
thing
from
the
outset
is
a
contingent
project
and
in
fact,
I
noticed
in
the
announcement.
There
is
no
indication
of
any
employment
impact
which
I
was
under.
The
impression
was
the
total
point
of
having
these
incentive
packages
so
again.
A
Mr
Mayor
and
members
of
the
council
I
would
urge
that
you've
come
up
with
a
procedure
that
allows
a
more
transparent
consideration
of
these
one.
A
C
You
Tom
would
greatly
appreciate
the
stewardship
of
our
press
and,
contrary
to
maybe
popular
belief,
it
doesn't
bothers
we're
glad
you're
here
and
with
regards
to
transparency.
It's
truly
been
as
long
as
I've
been
a
member
of
this
Council
I've
been
extremely
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
do
attempt
to
be
extremely
transparent
in
everything
we
do.
Economic
development
is
a
sensitive
matter
when
you're
dealing
with
the
state
you're
dealing
with
taxpayers
you're
dealing
with
the
the
businesses
that
are
are
asking
for
incentives
and
using
your
own
words.
C
It
is
particularly
unusual
and
sometimes
in
context,
but
it's
a
delicate
Balancing
Act
and
your
words
do
not
follow
deaf
ears.
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Moving
on
to
item
number,
two,
a
public
hearing
has
been
scheduled
to
consider
adopting
a
resolution
for
an
economic
development
incentives
agreement
for
project
wkr.
At
this
time,
we'll
recognize
economic
development,
director,
Peter,
Bishop.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
good
evening,
members
of
council
I'm
here
before
you
to
speak
about
project
wkr
Burlington,
which
in
fact
is
the
name
of
the
company,
the
LLC
that's
registered
with
the
Secretary
of
State's
office.
This
project
does
represent
a
speculative
building.
The
wkr
Burlington
Associates
are
with
us
in
the
crowd
today.
Mr
Brian,
dennisar
and
Mr
don
Comer
are
here
and
they
are
available
to
answer
any
questions
as
I
go
through
this
presentation.
L
But
as
I
mentioned,
this
project
involves
building
a
100,
000
square
foot,
speculative
industrial
building
on
white
Skittle,
Road
squeezed
between
the
quality,
Equipment
property
and
the
sheets
distribution
facility.
There,
the
Alamance
County
tax
assessor,
has
provided
an
estimate
of
12
million
dollars
for
the
value
of
this
speculative
property.
This
does
not
involve
job
creation
or
personal
property
investment
that
is
going
to
be
the
responsibility
of
a
future
tenant
that
we
will
work
in
partnership
with
the
developers
to
recruit
and
the
local
development
team.
L
As
I
mentioned,
they
also
operate
a
construction
company
and
they
feel
very
bullish
on
the
Burlington
Market,
both
now
and
into
the
future.
On
the
map
here
in
front
of
you,
you'll
see
a
location
of
this
site.
This
site
is
approximately
12.6
acres
and
situated
there
on
The,
McCrary,
hope,
Farm
adjacent
to
Sheets
as
I
reference,
and
on
this
slide
you
will
see
a
site
drawing
or
rendering
of
what
the
property
will
look
like
from.
L
Above
with
the
the
sections
they're
built
out
with
parking
and
storm
water
Etc
there
on
the
property.
L
And
then
this
slide
shows
a
rendering
of
what
this
building
will
look
like.
It
will
be
a
tilt
up
concrete
facility
with
a
steel
frame
and
a
flat
roof
with
you
know
an
entryway
and,
of
course,
you
know,
truck
traffic
for
both
sides,
a
high,
clear
height
or
clear
span,
building,
which
means
above
30
feet
and
typically
in
the
industrial
Market.
That's
what
most
new
tenants
and
Prospects
are
looking
for.
L
That
allows
them
the
flexibility
to
have
rack
Stack
Storage
in
the
building
and
can
accommodate
both
manufacturing
warehousing
and
other
types
of
uses,
so
a
very
flexible
building
that
could
work
for
a
lot
of
prospective
tenants
so
due
to
the
the
limiting
nature
of
the
the
lack
of
job
creation
really
and
and
personal
property
investment,
because
this
is
a
speculative
property.
L
The
incentives
that
are
offered
are
scaled
to
to
sort
of
meet.
What
that
investment
is.
So
what
the
city
is
looking
to
offer
and
to
assist
and
get
this
property
up
and
constructed
is
a
250
000
site
development,
grading
and
clearing
incentive
to
the
company
and
waiving
development
fees
up
to
150
000
for
a
total
maximum
value
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
I
say
maximum
value,
because
this
is
dependent
on
the
tax,
assessors
assessment
of
the
property.
And
then
we
work
a
calculation
backwards
from
that
assessment.
L
A
positive
return
on
investment
after
five
years
of
construction
of
the
property,
so
five
tax
years
after
it
is
constructed.
We
will
see
a
break-even
point
with
the
city's
investment,
as
I
mentioned
before.
This
would
be
a
high,
clear,
height
and
ready
to
occupy
industrial
space.
If
you
look
around
in
our
Marketplace
specifically,
there
aren't
a
lot
of
those
there
and
in
the
last
two
years,
basically,
every
available
building
has
been
sold,
leased
or
occupied
by
a
business.
L
So
there's
really
not
a
lot
of
product
or
buildings
available
on
the
market
to
to
get
new
projects
here.
So
this
is
something
that
will
be
very
good
for
us
to
have
to
to
recruit
somebody
into,
but
even
more
than
that
speculative
buildings
really
are
the
best
advertising
tool
you
can
have,
because
what
it
shows
to
a
company
looking
in
the
area
is
that
you
do
have
modern
industrial
space
available.
You
have
developers
willing
to
build
that
space
on
spec
and
and
typically,
what
happens.
L
Even
if
a
company
is
not
interested
in
a
building
when
they
see
this,
it's
it.
It's
like
its
own
advertisement,
they
say
well,
if
you
can
do
that,
can
you
do
what
I
want
on
this
lot
next
door
on
this
lot
over
here,
so
it
shows
the
capability,
it
shows
the
ability
of
the
market
and
of
the
partners,
and
it
usually
leads
to
a
project
when
you
have
a
speculative
building
and.
L
This
partnership
with
the
developer
again
shows
that
we're
actively
working
to
create
more
industrial
product.
We
recognize
that
this
is
important
for
us
to
recruit
more
companies
and
get
more
job
creation
in
the
city,
so
all
in
all
a
great
sign
for
our
Economic
Development
potential
and
future,
and
we
feel
very
confident
based
on
the
projects
that
are
coming
from
our
own
leads
and
from
State
obtained
leads.
There
are
so
many
of
them.
We
feel
very
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
get
a
project
in
this
building
very
soon.
L
So
with
that
I'll
end,
my
presentation
would
offer
your
questions
to
myself
or
to
Mr,
Dennis
or
Mr
coma.
C
L
Yes,
the
building
at
an
approximate
value
of
12
million
is
around
72
to
73
000
per
year
in
taxable
value
and
after
the
fifth
year
that
you
know
doing
some
multiplication
will
get
you
past
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
A
And
Mr
Mayor-
that's
good
I
guess,
but
the
question
I
I
would
have
had
is
why
the
city
would
involve
itself
in
this
particular
project
and
no
other.
There
are
many
spec
buildings
in
various
cities
across
the
county
operated
not
all
in
Burlington,
but
I.
M
Any
comments
on
this
project-
hey
Brian,
Dennis,
are
I,
live
in
Burlington
4458
body,
Lock,
Drive
I
get
excited
about
Burlington,
because
I
live
here
and
the
reason
we
chose
Burlington
was
because
we
wanted
to
invest
where
I
live
and
I
get
excited
that
a
community
wants
to
invest
in
themselves,
which
is
what
products
are
showing
by
approval
tonight.
So
I
think
that's
what's
driving
us.
We,
our
headquarters
of
my
company,
is
in
Raleigh.
M
We
have
an
office
that
we
just
opened
last
month
in
Burlington
with
the
second
office,
and
so
we
are
the
interstate
just
off
the
interstate.
Yes,
sir,
so
we
are
bullish
on
Burlington
and
I
want
to
do
business
and
provide
opportunity
where
I
live,
and
so
that's
what
motivates
us
and
my
partner
Mr
Comer.
So
we
appreciate
the
consideration
tonight
certainly
open
to
any
questions
you
guys
may
have
for
us.
Thank.
M
So
we
signed
the
lease
August
1st.
We
quickly
scrambled
and
did
a
renovation
in
about
two
and
a
half
weeks,
just
some
painting
carpet
and
we
started
taking
phone
calls
and
checking
emails
by
third
week
of
August.
So
the
reason
I
asked
I
sold
the
sign
right.
M
Been
excellent,
so
real
dream
come
true,
just
to
be
able
to
do
business
where
I
live
and
I'll
be
five
minutes
from
my
family
and
pick
the
kids
up
from
school.
So
it's
been
nice.
M
L
Kennel
wrote
is
what
what
it
fronts
and
a
butts,
and
it
has
no
other
Street
Frontage,
but
it
is
bound
by
the
Quality
Equipment
parcel
to
the
north
to
the
remainder
of
the
whole
Farm.
Actually,
the
property
that
steritech
purchased
for
their
life
sciences
at
Material
Park
is
to
the
east
sheets,
is
to
the
South
and
what's
kennel
Road
would
be
to
the
West.
L
Is
and
I
just
pulled
the
map
back
up,
so
you
can
see
the
location
here.
This
is
sheets
here,
Quality,
Equipment,
right
here
and,
of
course,
the
the
remainder
of
the
farmer.
L
Yes,
the
city
actually
won
an
economic
development
Administration
award
to
extend
sewer
across
White's
Kettle
Road
to
the
west
side
of
White's
kennel
road
to
support
an
expansion
of
innovative
knitting
which
will
construct
a
50
000
square
foot
facility
for
their
operation.
The
developer
of
that
property
will
also
be
building
two
additional
50
000
square
foot
buildings.
I
Make
a
motion
thought
about
this
a
lot
and
we
know
this
is
something
different
for
us,
but
we
feel
like
it's
investing
in
our
community,
allowing
our
Economic
Development.
C
C
Item
number
three:
a
public
hearing
has
been
scheduled
to
consider
a
voluntary

F
You'll
also
note
that
the
property
immediately
to
the
east
was
the
subject
of
a
rezoning
request
for
high
density
residential,
which
we
would
also
anticipate
in
the
future
being
considered
for
annexation
as
well.
So
that
is,
that
is
staff's.
Recommendation
for
the
annexation
and
I'll
be
happy

we'll
recognize
Jamie
Lawson
once
again,.
F
Good
evening
again,
so,
yes,
this
request
is
for
a
limited
use.
Rezoning.
The

is
shown
on
the

here
in
the
teal
hash
per
Udo
section

the
applicant
is
Seeking
a
general
business
limited
use
for
multi-family
development.
Only
this
map
shows
the
existing
medium
density
residential
zoning
District.
This
request
is
consistent
with
the
future
land
use
designation,
which
is
shown
here
as
Regional
commercial.
The
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
recommended
unanimous
approval
at
their
October
10th
meeting.
F
O
Welcome
good
evening
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
it's
a
privilege
to
be
before
you
this
evening.
My
name
is
Ryan
moffatt
I
am
an
attorney
at
the
burn.
Law
Firm
here
in
Burlington
across
the
street,
at
522,
South
Lexington,
Avenue
I've
got
the
opportunity
to
be
before
you
this
evening,
representing
the
Lucas
contractors
and
developers
LLC
who's.
The
applicant
in
this.
In
this
request,
Mr
Aaron
Lucas,
is
here
with
me
this
evening.
We're
both
available
to
answer
any
questions.
O
O
Mr
Lucas
and
his
company
have
been
before
you
recently,
as
recently
as
May
of
this
year,
with
the
exact
same
requests
for
two
Parcels
of
property
that
the
weisel
family
property
just
to
the
east,
that
was
16
and
a
half
acres.
That
was
also
a
medium
density
residential
to
General
business,
limited
use
multi-family.
O
That,
as
I
said,
is
the
exact
same
request.
We
have
before
you
today
and
I'll.
Just
give
you
a
little
background
on
the
Lucas
development
entity.
They've
been
in
business
for
a
couple
of
decades
now
back
into
the
mid
90s
and
focused
their
energies
and
their
talents
on
class.
A
multi-family
products,
judging
by
their
their
interest
in
the
nearby
property
in
this
property,
I
know
that
they
are
very
excited
to
bring
their
good
work
to
the
City
of
Burlington
before
getting
into
this
request.
O
First
and
foremost,
it
is
consistent
with
the
conference
flat
news
plan.
Miss
Lawson
has
has
noted
that
before
you,
the
existing
zoning
is
inconsistent,
so
this
action
would
would
bring
the
property
within
the
bounds
of
and
consistent
with
your
land
use
plan.
I
would
also
note
that
it
would
also
result
in
a
down
zoning,
given
the
extent
of
the
limitation
on
this.
O
If
you
look
at
the
permitted
uses
under
the
existing
medium
density,
residential
district
and
even
the
permitted
uses
in
and
the
general
business
district,
what
which
would
be
consistent
with
the
regional
commercial
prescription
for
this
property,
this
request
limits
it
to
a
single
use
within
all
of
those
districts
and
that's
multi-family
and
multi-family.
Only.
O
The
reason
for
that
is
because,
because
of
the
nature
of
the
area
that
it's
in
to
joined
by
multi-family,
it's
It
joined
and
surrounded
by
other
residential
uses,
other
higher
density,
future
residential
uses
and,
of
course,
the
future
exclusively
multi-family
property
that
the
Lucas
has
also
plan
to
pursue
down
the
street
and,
of
course,
you've
got
employment.
Centers
nearby-
and
you
know
we
all
know
about
the
growth
and
the
demand
that
there
is
for
this
type
of
product.
So
I
I
want
to
be
short
with
you
this
evening.
O
I
feel
that
what
we
have
before
you
like
what
we
brought
before
you
in
May
checks.
The
boxes
like
I,
said
unequivocally
for
approval
of
this
request.
Staff
has
endorsed
it.
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
has
unanimously
endorsed
it
and
we're
hopeful
that
you
would
follow
it
too,
and,
of
course,
if
there
are
any
questions
or
concerns,
we
would
love
to
hear
them
and
and
have
the
opportunity
to
address
them.
We
appreciate
your
time
as
always.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
C
B
N
C
C
H
D
I
make
a
motion,
but
first
Mr
map
is
I
I,
like
your
term
organically
that
was
well
well
phrased.
There
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
request
to
reasonable
property
from
medium
density,
residential
MDR
to
General
business
women
who
use
gblu.
The
property
is
located
at
the
Terminus
of
Whitesville
Drive
West
of
the
intersection
of
Whitesville
drive
and
Huffman
Mill
Road
address
says:
zero
Whitesville
Drive
in
the
system
of
Alamance
County
tax
identification,
number
107
165.
D
The
motion
is
based
upon
the
consistency
of
the
proposed
rezonia
with
the
comprehensive
plan
in
that
the
future
land
use
map.
In
section
four
land
use
of
the
comprehensive
plan
calls
for
this
area
to
have
Regional
commercial
uses.
The
request
is
compatible
with
the
adjacent
residential
and
Commercial
uses.
C
B
H
C
Our
agenda
is
item
five.
The
public
hearing
has
been
scheduled
to
consider
a
request
to
rezone
property
from
light
industrial
Li
to
mixed
use,
limited
use,
mxlu.
The
property
is
located
north
of
the
intersection
of
Interstate
40
and
Maple
Avenue
addressed
as
2444
Maple
Avenue
and
consisting
of
Alamance
County
tax
identification,
number
132806.
F
Good
evening
again,
so
this
property
is
shown
highlighted
in
in
teal.
It
is
on
the
east
side
of
Maple
Ave
you'll,
see.
F
This
is
the
existing
zoning.
It
is
currently
light
industrial
and
the
applicant
again
is
Seeking
a
limited
use,
rezoning
requests
to
mixed
use
for
specific
uses
included
in
your
packet,
which
include
multi-family
dwellings,
hotels
or
motels,
and
restaurant
indoor
and
outdoor
seating
you'll
see
from
the
future
land
use
designation.
That's
shown
here
in
red.
This
area
is
a
designated
Regional
commercial,
which
is
consistent
with
the
request.
F
As
for
the
last
item,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
recommend
a
unanimous
approval
of
this
request
at
their
October
10th
meeting,
and
you
were
also
briefed
on
this
item
on
October
18th
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
this
request
as
well
consistent
with
option
one
in
your
consistency,
statement
sheet
staff
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
the
applicant
Mr
longest
as
well
as
Mr
Mitchell
Mr
Mitchell
is
here
in
the
back
of
the
room
in
case
you
have
any
questions.
F
I
think
they
have
a
short
presentation
that
they
may
want
to
present
to
you,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
H
H
H
The
project
is
really
one:
it's
at
our
doorstep
here
in
Burlington,
on
Maple
Avenue,
coming
in
off
the
interstate
and
as
you
see
from
your
packet
of
information,
the
current
use
of
the
property
is
a
maple
hotel
and
what
we
propose
to
do
is
change
the
rezoning
which
will
permit
that
hotel
to
then
be
converted
into
multi-family
Apartments.
H
H
As
you
know,
this
is
changing
from
light
industrial,
which
is
kind
of
unusual
for
Zoning,
for
this
particular
piece
of
property,
but
it
does
have
5.24
acres.
Does
you
have
200
parking
places
and,
of
course,
with
the
motel
on
it?
We
would
think
that
the
multi-family
apartment
conversion
is
a
good
use,
a
good
use
for
our
community
and
a
nice
presentation
to
the
public
as
to
the
doorway
into
Burlington.
H
The
nice
thing
about
it
is
that
the
project
was
not
changed
too
much
in
my
understanding
from
the
arterial
structure
of
the
building
it's
already
there,
but
the
amenities
of
the
pool
and
other
structures
and
amenities
on
the
property
can
be
refurbished
and
brought
into
play
to
serve
the
apartment.
Community
I'd
like
to
introduce
to
you
at
this
time,
David
Mitchell
from
New
York
City,
who
is
a
principal
of
in
good
homes,
and
he
can
explain
what
his
company
does
and
how
they
project
this
project
to
be
beneficial
to
Burlington
David.
P
First
I'm
very
grateful
and
I'm
very
excited
to
be
for
you,
so
I
thank
the
city,
council
and
the
city
staff
for
a
very,
very
brief
opportunity
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
good
homes
and
what
we
intend
to
do
at
the
maple
Hotel.
We
have
made
a
significant
corporate
commitment
to
North.
P
It
started
really
in
Fayetteville,
where
we
have
600
units
of
accomplishing
three
projects
there,
and
you
know
what
I
found
is
you
know?
Communities
like
Burlington,
like
Fairfield,
really
have
two
challenges.
One
is
to
track
from
the
businesses
and
you've
heard
a
matter
tonight
and
the
other
is
really
to
keep
its
young
people
really.
P
The
missing
piece
of
that
is
an
algorithm
that
we
hope
to
fill,
which
is
to
provide
market
rate
accessible
housing
in
very
vibrant
communities
and
so
I'm,
but
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
our
little
presentation
and
be
here
to
answer
any
any
questions.
I'm
not
technically
proficient
so
I.
Don't
really
go
to
that.
But.
P
Now,
I'm
technically
proficient
so
Burlington
knows
its
Mission.
You
know
we
pick
things
out
from
your
2015
plan
and
your
2019
plan
and
really
the
plan
is
really
to
to
vitalize
and
to
really
use
your
resources
to
attract
businesses,
to
create
vibrant
communities,
and
we
really
want
to
become
a
partner
in
the
in
that
mission.
Good
homes's
mission
is
really
to
create
vibrant,
exciting
communities.
We
focus
really
on
Obsolete
Hospitality
assets,
hotels
and
we
put
enormous
amount
of
investment
into
taking
these
Hotel
structures
and
creating
very
exciting
places
to
live.
P
P
As
you
heard
today,
you
know,
what's
before
you
is,
is
an
approval
to
change
the
zoning
from
light
industrial
to
allow
us
to
take
and
create
135
multi-family
units.
They
are
one
bedrooms
you
know.
Currently,
the
property
has
200
parking
spaces
and
we
tend
to
really
Revitalize
the
existing
amenities
and
I
have
a
few
slides
on
that
that
I'd
like
to
go
through
that.
P
So
these
are
renderings
about
one
bedrooms
in
our
studio,
Apartments
in
the
studio
apartments
and
the
one
bedrooms
we
put
a
kitchen,
we
completely
revamped
the
entire
environment.
P
We
have
a
number
of
furnished
units,
but
largely
there
are
unfurnished
units
we're
seeking
a
tenant
that
has,
for
the
most
part,
W-2
income
that
is
employed.
That
is
a
it's
a
one-year
lease
a
minimum
of
one
year
lease.
This
is
we're
taking
this
property,
which
is
a
hotel
which
is
a
transient
by
by
nature
and
by
definition,
really
into
creating
citizens,
citizens
of
Burlington
to
live
and
to
work
in
Burlington.
P
This
next
slides
are
actually
some
of
our
units,
which
are
in
Warwick,
Rhode,
Island,
Works,
an
interesting
story:
We
Own,
the
Sheraton.
What
was
a
former
Sheraton
Hotel
in
Warwick
work
is
one
of
the
lowest
occupancy
rates
in
the
country.
Less
than
0.6
is
0.67
percent
of
occupancy.
They
have
a
huge
crisis
as
far
as
housing
and
it's
a
growing
it's
only
a
Providence
border.
Here
we
have
taken
the
apartments
that
we
have
Studios
one
bedrooms
and
and
two
bedrooms,
and
these
are
actual
actual
units
in
in
in
two.
P
I,
these
are
pictures
of
what
we
intend
on
putting
into
the
property
that
you
know
now
is
the
maple
leaf
Hotel,
you
know
we
revitalized
the
pool
bringing
a
new
Landscaping
plan,
really
try
to
create
an
outdoor,
exciting
Community
with
picnic
tables
and
barbecues
put
a
world-class
fitness
center,
Game,
Room,
tenant,
lounges
and
a
big
amenity
that
most
everyone
asks
for
is
tenant
storage,
and
so
we
are
taking
the
what
is
now
the
ballroom
space
and
the
meeting
space
and
creating
tenant
storage.
P
P
You
know
a
large
part
of
what
was
the
maple
Hotel
was
the
restaurant
Cabaret
community
space
and
that
will
become
a
tenant,
lounge
and
playroom,
and
game
and
game
room
will
put
pool
tables
and
ping
pong
tables,
and
in
some
cases
we've
been
very
successful
in
putting
pinball
machines,
so
they
seem
to
be
very
popular.
P
P
This
you
know
well,
I
mean
this
is
something
you
you
have
what
we
want
and
we
hope
that
we
have
what
you
want,
which
is
really
to
meet
the
large
percentage
of
the
population
that
lives
in
and
around
Burlington.
You
know
our
focus
is
an
income
from
thirty
five
thousand
to
eighty
thousand
dollars.
It
represents
about
38
of
the
population
in
the
United
States
and
as
I
travel
throughout
the
country.
P
I
find
this
a
tremendous
shortage
of
this
type
of
Housing
and
there's
two
facts,
and
one
has
to
recognize
is
that
for
the
rents
that
we're
charging
and
cannot
build
new
because
there's
no
return,
and
so
the
communities
that
have
embraced
that
really
understand
that
one
is
reusing,
existing
structures
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
now,
and
so
we
hope
to
meet
and
to
interact
with
your
larger
employers
and
and
become
really
really
become
a
neighbor.
P
We
use
a
third-party
management
company.
Pegasus
Pegasus
manages
about
44
000
Apartments
throughout
the
United
States
during
12
States
right
now
about
45
different
markets,
and
they
have
come
to
Burlington
they've
underwritten
this.
For
us,
our
team
has
come
to
Burlington
and
you
know
our
construction
evidence,
house,
construction
department
and
they've
seen
what
we
have
so
we're
ready
to
take
this
on
and
we're
very,
very
excited
about
it.
We're
in,
as
I
mentioned,
15
states,
we
have
23
communities.
P
All
of
them
today
have
been
a
reuse
of
existing
Hospitality
assets,
hotels,
and
we
find
that
you
know,
starting
with
the
great
structure
that
had
all
the
amenities
it's
going
to
be
a
very
attractive
use
and
and
in
some
cases
you
know,
you
know
very
comparable
to
a
type
of
multi-family,
Garden
style
Apartments,
because
we're
putting
pool
we
have
game
rooms.
We
have
co-working
space
and,
and
people
like
what
we
do
particular
attendance.
P
As
I
mentioned
before
we
have
a
long
history
and
a
number
of
different
locations.
The
team
has
been
involved
in
over
10
billion
dollars
of
development
over
the
past
15
years.
Most
of
it
is
in
residential.
Some
of
it
is
in
hospitality
and
Industrial,
and
that's
I'm
here,
to
take
any
questions,
but
I
really
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
allowing
me
the
time
to
actually
present
to
you.
I
Now,
when
things
seem
too
good
to
be
true,
I'm
afraid
to
ask
any
questions,
no,
please
I,
like
the
price
point,
I
think
that's
exactly
nailed
it
where
we
need
to
be
what
we're
missing
in
this
community.
P
D
F
P
Is,
as
you
know,
planning
zoning
city
council
approval
we
would
be
putting
in
permit
set,
and
so
Performance
Set
will
probably
be
you
know.
60
days
in
in
development,
69
is
about
I
mean
a
construction
Department's
already
been
here
with
an
outside
contractor.
P
You
know,
I
would
throw
the
question
back
to
you
as
how
quickly
could
the
permanent
set
be
approved,
as
we
would
be
able
to
start
the
day
after
it's
approved,
and
you
know
we
we
get
very
excited
by
this,
and
we
have
obviously
a
lot
going
on
in
Fayetteville,
which
is
not
so
far
away.
I
just
drove
it
today
and
we
would
look
you
know
our
goal
is
to
really
build
in
and
around
this
County
and
in
the
Triangle.
P
B
H
Mayor
members
of
the
council
I
do
appreciate
your
attention.
Dave
has
come
a
long
way
and
thank
you
for
being
so
considerate
to.
Let
him
speak
to
you.
It's
pretty
unusual
that
we
get
somebody
from
New,
York
and
enthusiastic
project
in
Burlington.
North
Carolina
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
this
project
has
not
only
been
favorably
approved
by
the
city's
staff,
but
we've
had
kind
of
a
pre-approval
going
through
what
I
call
a
preliminary
technical
Review
Committee
when
we
first
got
started.
H
So
we
know
that
we
can
do
this
project
to
a
lot
of
things.
The
city
is
going
to
ask
questions
about
which
is
normal,
but
I
think
we
have
those
questions
under
advisement
and
we'll
address
those
accordingly.
If
this
gets
approved,
it
does
have
the
blessing
unanimously
of
the
pnz
commission
and
I.
Personally,
as
my
dad
used
to
say
it,
it's
nice
to
see
a
better
useful
piece
of
property
than
it
exists.
Now.
C
Yes,
thank
you
oh
great,
thank
you
and
the
information
that's
been
provided.
That's
been
very
thorough
on
this
project
and
Mr
Mitchell.
We
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
that
went
into
providing
us
all
this
information.
So
thank
you.
This
is
a
public
hearing,
so
at
this
time
we'll
open
the
floor
for
any
public
comments.
C
Anyone
on
this
side
of
the
room
like
to
speak
on
this
item,
especially
City
staff.
So
I,
guess
not
anyone
on
this
side
of
the
room
here.
You
know
and
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
so
moved.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor
signify
by
I
any
post
this
time
is
there
any
other
questions
or
discussion?
If
not
we'll
entertain
a
motion.
K
The
motion
is
based
upon
the
consistency
of
the
proposed
rezoning
with
the
comprehensive
plan
in
that
the
future
land
use
map
in
section
4
land
use
of
the
comprehensive
plan
calls
the
Terry
to
have
Regional
commercial
uses.
The
request
is
compatible
with
the
adjacent
residential
and
Commercial
uses.
The
action
is
reasonable
and
in
the
public
interest,
and
that
the
comprehensive
plan
calls
for
residential
and
Commercial
uses
in
the
area.
The
request
is
compatible
with
the
existing
zoning
and
land
uses
in
the
area.
C
C
I
I
Deaf
people,
sorry,
my
voice
is
up
and
down
today,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
there's
movement,
afoot
and
people
are
interested
in.
N
Yes,
mayor
I
wanted
to
recognize
Chief
Mebane
Chief
Mebane
brought
over
several
firefighters
trucks,
the
burning
home,
whatever
you,
you
call
the
SmokeHouse
I
overtook
the
school
several
weeks
ago
and
our
kids
absolutely
loved
it,
and
his
staff
was
perfect.
N
True
gentleman
with
those
kids
and
made
a
lot
of
good
friends.
So
thank
you
chief
for
for
the
visit.
We
appreciate
that.
C
People
are
similar
note.
My
daughter
was
part
of
a
organization
that
was
having
a
like
a
camp
and
someone
inadvertently
pulled
the
fire
alarm
and
the
staff
came
out
and
they
ended
up
being
the
big
hit.
So
it
was
very
stressful
for
the
person
that
did
it
by
accident.
Obviously,
but
our
teammate
everyone
feel
comfortable,
and
obviously
that
was
not
you
know.
We
didn't
want
that
to
happen,
but
it
did,
but
just
the
way
it
was
handled
was
a
testament
to
good
leadership
and
good
good
stewardship
in
that
group.
So.
K
Okay,
mayor
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
compliment
you
know
they
brought
up
in
the
police
off
and
the
Water
Resources
just
up
the
street.
From
me
this
past
Sunday,
my
wife
called
the
PD
because
we
thought
there
was
a
leak
at
this
house.
We
thought
there
was
a
water
leak
or
something
it
was
running
down
the
drain
yeah,
and
so
she
called
the
PD
and
the
PD
got
in
touch
with
I,
guess:
Bob
Patterson's
folks,
and
they
were
there
literally
in
less
than
10
minutes,
I
mean
I
I.
K
The
service
doesn't
get
much
better
than
that,
that's
right
and
and
if
whatever
it
was,
it
was
resolved.
I,
guess
in
an
hour
or
less
or
something
like
that.
Are
you
familiar
with
that?
No
I'm,
not
okay,
so
they
have
it
without
even
him,
even
going
so
anyway,
I'm
I'm,
committedly,
proud
of
being
a
part
of
this
organization,
and
that's
that's
the
kind
of
service
that
this
organization
provides
and-
and
it
just
makes
me
feel
good
and
and
I
and
I.
K
H
D
You
had
the
works
department
there
a
little
later
Monday
afternoon,
not
only
cleaning
and
debris
up,
but
then
coming
back
on
Tuesday
and
sweeping
the
street
in
Washington,
I'm,
not
sure
a
lot
of
communities
get
that
kind
of
service,
Mr
Smith,
that's
pretty
darn
good,
I'm,
glad
you're
teaching
Nolan.
Something
then
like
that.
Okay,
it's
a
work
in
progress.
J
C
C
I
know
it's
it's
important
to
this
Council
and
your
comments
are
important
and
I'll
assure
you
that
there
was
no
ill
intent
and
your
comments
do
not
fall
on
deaf
ears,
but,
more
importantly,
Thomas
does
a
wonderful
job
and
you
guys
do
a
wonderful
job
at
keeping
our
community
informed
and
on
the
good
side
or
the
bad
side
of
that
information
is
critical
and
transparency
is
and
love.
You
and
appreciate.
D
B
D
A
lot
of
sudden
and
what
he
did
and
gosh
two
weeks
ago,
guys
Tom
the
front
page
was
Sports,
but
you
can't
imagine
the
number
of
high
school
parents
that
appreciate
that
I
mean
that's.
That's.
You
cannot
imagine
that
I'm
in
high
school
thanks
for
doing
that.
Yeah
sir.
C
Without
a
doubt,
and
one
other
comment
on
the
wkr
item
that
was
before
tonight,
Kathy
made
some
comments
about,
there's
been
a
little
bit
different
departure
and
it
is,
but
you
know
we're
in
different
times
when
we
have
a
lot
going
on
and
Peter's
almost
seven
years.
How
long
have
you
been
with
us.
C
So
now
we
gotta
go
to
work.
Now
we
got
to
do
what
we
say.
We're
going
to
do
so.
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
went
into
that.
So
there's
the
council
comments.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn.
