of the same violation in one hearing.
“Right now, they have the option of
going separately,” Lea said.
“It’s a lot of work. We’re trying to join
them unless they can show reason for a
separate hearing.”

CCB bank officials, when contacted,

Lea said the judicial system is also
looking into accepting plea bargains for
students accused of cheating or posses

Students facing charges such as these
could bypass such a hearing by accept

Board Agrees on Housing Plan
Carrboro aldermen voted
unanimously to consider
several town-owned lots
for affordable housing.
By Kellie Dixon
Assistant City Editor
CARRBORO The Carrboro
Board of Aldermen hopes that the cost
of affordable housing will be eased by
constructing on town lots.
The aldermen unanimously passed
an amended resolution Tuesday night to
establish a policy to determine which
town-purchased land can be dedicated
to affordable housing.
The land must be purchased by the
town for municipal uses, and the aider
men decided to implement the policy
only when feasible for affordable hous
ing.
One piece of land the aldermen con
sidered using is a 9-acre area on
Hillsborough Road, currently the
Hillsborough Road Neighborhood Park.
Mayor Mike Nelson said he would
have supported the concept for using
the land for parks
but said questions
will have to be
answered before
he will be com
pletely satisfied
with the policy.
“I have reserva
tions about this
particular exam
ple,” he said.
“We need to
decide on a piece
of property over
certain acres be
set for affordable
housing.”
Carrboro Mayor
Mike Nelson
said each piece
of property should
be evaluated
independently.
Alderman Alex Zaffron said afford
able housing issues should be addressed
on a case-by-case basis and that the
town should consolidate its assets before
defining a strategy.
But Aldermanjacquelyn Gist said the
Hillsborough Road Neighborhood Park
property is not a good area for afford
able housing.
“It’s really not pragmatic,” she told
the board. “We’ve gone so far with the
designer and we’re so close to having
community-based meetings.
(Hljp Satly (Ear Uppl
“It’s not a suitable site, and it gets
smaller when you look at what it is and
what it contains.”
Alderman Mark Dorosin said the
town needs to examine all its land to
find out what can be adequately used.
“We need to inventory town-owned
property," he said.
“Maybe some is suitable for afford
able housing, maybe some isn’t.”
Dorosin also said the land was the
biggest expense and that even develop
ing one house at a time would help
move the cause along.
Alderman Joal Broun encouraged
flexibility in their decision to help deter
mine each case.
“If we set rigid standards, we’ll have
little room for flexibility later on,” she
said.
Alderman Diana McDuffee said the
policy should be extended so the board
can consider ways for creating afford
able housing options, on or off town
owned land.
“We should be alert to opportunities
to contribute to affordable housing.”
