Neighborhoods
Carrboro’s controversial four-year-old anti-loitering ordinance, which prohibited people from lingering at the intersection of Jones Ferry and Davie roads past 11:00 am, was rescinded in a unanimous decision Tuesday evening at a meeting of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen before a full chamber of community members.
I want to begin by thanking all of the stakeholders who came out to Chapel Hill High this morning, a beautifully sunny fall morning, and participated in our first “come together” session in which we heard reports from all of the theme groups on what transpired in their first work sessions. We had over 100 stakeholders participate and we got to hear from about ¼ of you in the discussion portion of the meeting. For those of you who didn’t have time to share your thoughts please think about posting them on either the blog or the web.
Via e-mail from the Town:
On Monday, November 21, 2011, the Town Council will
hold a Public Hearing during which they will consider the adoption of
the Northside and Pine Knolls Community Plan and the enactment of zoning
amendments to the Northside and Pine Knolls Neighborhood Conservation
Districts. The proposed Plan represents the Town and community response
to the temporary moratorium in the Northside and Pine Knolls
neighborhoods that was enacted by the Town Council on June 21, 2011. I
will forward the Public Hearing materials to this list prior to the
meeting.
Date:
Monday, November 21, 2011 - 7:00pm
Location:
Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill
Earlier this week, perennial Chapel Hill mayoral candidate Kevin Wolff disseminated a campaign flyer in the Homestead Park neighborhood telling parents that they should be very concerned about the men's transitional facility locating on Homestead Road, suggesting that when the shelter is located there "a child will be assaulted, molested, kidnapped, and/or killed in that park. It's not a matter of if this will happen... it is a matter of when." The full flyer can be read
here.
On September 26, members of the Chapel Hill Town Council suggested that the Community House Good Neighbor Plan Advisory Committee expand its membership . Hence, the IFC is seeking applications for committee membership. See http://ifc-gnp.blogspot.com/ for more detail. The application form can be found at http://ifcweb.org/GNP-app.htm. Applications should be submitted to the IFC before October 14.
