Army Corps of Engineers Permit Meeting on Carolina North

Via e-mail from Linda Convissor:

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

 

On Tuesday, November 16, the University will hold a public meeting to explain the permitting process required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) prior to development at Carolina North. The meeting will take place from 5:15-6:30 p.m. in the large conference room of the Chapel Hill Public Library

 

Many of you have followed the planning for Carolina North.  On July 1, 2009 the University entered into a Development Agreement with the Town of Chapel Hill that outlines the first 20 years of development at Carolina North. 

 

Another part of the process for development is application to the ACOE for an “Individual Permit”.  The ACOE Individual Permit application addresses impacts to streams and wetlands by development at Carolina North.  The University held an initial meeting on the ACOE permit in June. On November 16 we will present the draft application for the permit.  The University expects to submit a permit application to the ACOE later this year.  You can view an electronic version of the draft permit application at http://cn.unc.edu

 

This meeting is not part of the ACOE’s permitting requirements but is an opportunity for UNC to share information and to receive comments on the draft application.  In addition to University staff, a representative from the ACOE will attend the meeting to explain the permitting process and how the public may participate. Attendees will be invited to ask questions and share comments.

 

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.  If your questions pertain to the details of the permit or permitting process, please contact Jill Coleman, Facilities Planning, at jcoleman@fac.unc.edu or 919-843-3246.

 

If you are a community group or neighborhood representative, please forward this email to your members and others who may be interested.

 

Best,

Linda

Carolina North Public Information Meeting

Carolina North Public Information Meeting

A public information meeting will be held at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 29, to receive comments and feedback on the UNC-Chapel Hill 2010 Carolina North Annual Report to the Town of Chapel Hill. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber of Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. 

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 a year ago that covers the first 20 years of development on the site. 

The report to be presented on Sept. 29 describes the activity on the Carolina North site in the past fiscal year (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010). Most of those activities relate to the recreational uses that residents make of the Carolina North Forest. Read the report online: http://www.townofchapelhill.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=7540 

The report is a requirement of the Carolina North Development Agreement, containing updates on various topics, including housing, parking, land use, greenways and construction activities. The Campus-to-Campus Connector Report, a one-time requirement of the Development Agreement, is included in Attachment VI of the report. While there has been a delay in construction at Carolina North, the report is part of the structure established by the Development Agreement for providing continued town-gown communication. 

Town Manager Roger Stancil will review the report and the public input before reporting to the Town Council on his review of the development agreement and its requirements. 

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.

Tar Heel Treasure

Everyone’s heard stories about the great things students leave behind when they move out of the residence halls.  On Saturday,  7:30 a.m. to noon, you’ll have the chance to see for yourself at Tar Heel Treasure, http://tarheeltreasure.unc.edu, a giant yard sale in the Dean Smith Center.

8500 students moved out last week and they left a lot behind.  It’s all been moved to the Dean Smith Center, ready and waiting for you to come out and shop.  You’ll find:

  • carpets (decorative area rugs and remnants, from 5' x 7' to 12' x12')
  • bookshelves and lamps
  • clothes and shoes (priced individually and by the bag; many items still have tags)
  • housewares:  microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, storage containers, mirrors
  • linens:  bedding, towels, sheets, pillows, blankets
  • TV's , electronics and computer printers
  • books, toys, games....the list goes on. 

Everyone is welcome andcash, Visa and MasterCard will be accepted.  Bargain prices guaranteed –we don’t want to move this stuff again. 

Besides being a fun event,Tar Heel Treasure benefits the environment and a local charity.  Last year, more than 8 tons of furniture and almost 4 tons of clothing were for sale.  For many students, especially our out of state and internationalstudents, taking college items home isn’t an option.  Left behind, theyended up in the landfill.  Now, they can be yours!

This year all proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity’s “Build a Block” program, the campus partnership with Habitat that aims to build 10 homes for UNC and UNC hospital employees in Phoenix Place, an affordable green-certified subdivision.   Last year’s Tar Heel Treasure sale raised about $7,000 for the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship.  Any items that remain after the sale will be donated to local charities.

But we don’t want anything left over!  Come out Saturday and shop till you drop.  It’s all for a good cause.

If you are a contact person for your neighborhood or community group, please share this with them. Better yet, make the morning a social event, and bring them with you.

Happy Shopping,

Linda
