There are lots of things coming up at the next City Council meeting,
in the first floor Council Chamber, at 7pm Monday.
I don't see it on the agenda, but there should be reauthorization of
the Bill of Rights proclamation, and the Durham BORDC will be
represented at the meeting. I hope they are as considerate as the
County Commissioners, who put the proclamation near the start of the
agenda. Too bad the development issue aren't closer to the front
also, since there will probably be several speakers on them.
I mentioned earlier the Bill of Rights Day proclamations that will be
read in front of the Chapel Hill Post Office on Franklin St. tomorrow,
starting at noon if I recall correctly.
Durham might already use tasers, but there is an item about purchasing
some. These are supposed to be a non-lethal weapon, but they can
kill, and the police can't know if that will happen when they tase
someone (I'm not sure if the verb here is tase, taze, or taser). It
would be pretty bad if they kill someone with a taser, in a situation
where they would not have used a gun instead of the taser.
The City is planning to buy five hybrid buses, which is a good first
step in going to gas-free transit.
The developers of the proposed Jordan at Southpointe development, at
the intersection of Scott King Rd., Fayetteville Rd., and 751 at the
southern end of the County, want the area annexed by the City.
Environmental groups think this is jurisdiction shopping by the
Durham-based developer, who has up to now bragged about never having
had a proposed development refused by the authorities. There are
other reasons to oppose the development, and lately people are worried
about the impact of all these new developments (such as the 1300
houses approved by the County this week, to be built on Page Rd.) on
our future water supply. There is a letter about Jordan at
Southpointe in today's Herald-Sun, from a prominent land use
activist from southern Durham. I'm sure there will be speakers
opposing this request at the meeting.
I am very concerned about "Northeast Creek Development Initial" on
Ellis Rd. east of the Durham Freeway. Of the two northeast most
branches of NE Creek at Ellis Rd. this proposed residential
development lies beside and across the south branch. I assume that
the south branch is more polluted with silt, and when NE Creek Stream
Watch measured the turbidity of the two branches last January, when
there was low water, the south branch was twice as turbid, meaning it
carries more silt. Currently the group tests water quality quarterly
downstream at Sohi Rd. (this Sunday in fact), so I don't know if the
south branch is typical siltier, but I assume that it is. Silt could
represent lost and hard to replace topsoil, and too much silt smothers
aquatic life. I haven't gone very far on that branch, so I don't know
if the silt was from a new condominium project, or a claypit marked on
maps of the area, or something else. The other branch was much
clearer, but it no doubt is polluted by its beginnings in a car
junkyard on Angier and a cow pasture (which is better than a junkyard,
but could be a source of silt and fecal coliform bacteria). I'm
planning to go by the area over the weekend.
Another rezoning request is for Treyburn village, but I am not
familiar with that area. Please comment if you know what the
situation is there.
Finally, a change in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) regarding
open space, will be discussed.
