Car with mobile phone will save you time By BLAKE DICKINSON Staff Writer Despite area resident concerns, the Chapel Hill Town Council voted 6 2 to approve the town's application for a special use permit Monday to allow a 512-space park-and-ride lot onN.C.54. The town's investment in the project will be limited due to the provision of the Mason Farm land by the University on a 10-year lease basis and federal grants from the Urban Mass Transit Administration. But residents in the adjoining Finley Forest condominium development Hoysoim By JESSICA LANNING Assistant City Editor The Chapel Hill Town Council will face the difficult decision this summer of whether to allocate more money toward public and affordable housing by sacrificing other projects. In Town Manager David Taylor's recommended budget for 1989-90, he suggests several ways the town could take action on affordable housing. The recommended budget sets aside $1,360,979, 5 percent of the town's total $27,701,022 budget expenditures, for housing and com munity development needs. Taylor recommends allocating $130,000 from the General Fund to improve the existing stock of public housing and allocating $120,000 from the General Fund to asiist in the development of 234 units of new public housing. He also said the town could continue to support the Inter-Faith Council Emergency Shelter with $25,000 and allocating $250,000 for second mortgages for home ownership initiatives. The report also suggests the addi tional steps of considering a bond referendum in 1990 to fund a land acquisition and development pro gram and to begin work leading to the creation of a non-profit housing development corporation. Mayor Jonathan Howes said these recommendations were not part of from page 1 "TAs here make $4,500 for nine months work," he said. "The stipend is inadequate even with a second job such as making minimum wage at the library or on Franklin Street." In other business, congress approved Student Body President Brien Lewis appointment of David Smith, a junior from Banner Elk, as Elections Board chairman. Congress also approved the appointment of Asa Bell, a law student from Wades boro, as Chief Justice of the Student Supreme Court. g to have voiced their opposition. During the March 20 public hear ing and April 10 council meeting on the project, residents and council members had voiced their concerns about the lot's lighting and bus traffic. The Finley Forest Condominium Association also submitted a petition signed by 180 residents, urging Chancellor Paul Hardin to reconsider. Town planners responded by shift ing the lot 60 feet to provide a 163 foot buffer between the parking facility and the Finley Forest com munity.

We haven't included other things here which will cost you money in an apartment that you may not have considered, like furniture, toilet paper, light bulbs, cleaning products, a shower curtain, kitchen utensils, and possibly a vacuum cleaner. And have you thought about one of your roommates moving out, or suddenly coming up short of money, leaving you with the responsibility of hisher rent (ever have a hard time collecting just part of the phone bill)? At Granville, all of your living expenses are included in one payment, and you are re sponsible only for your own room and board. Plus, in Granville Towers, you have the convenience of being walking distance to classes and downtown, thus not having to ride the bus, or trying to park your car in a town that presents parking nightmares. You also have your food cooked for you, and you can "Dine Anytime," even on weekends. Someone even comes by each week to straighten up your room and clean your bathroom for you. And your own study room, fitness rooms, computer center, activities... Dollar for dollar, Granville Towers is was unsuccessful, said Bob Godding, director of transportation. Council member Roosevelt Wil kerson was not satisfied with the changes. "We were first led to believe that we would have a different location on the lot," he said. "And it is an invasion of the community right beside it." Joined by James Wallace in voting against the application for the special use permit to build the park-and-ride lot, Wilkerson spoke against the proposal.

The issue will also be addressed at the public hearing on the budget and during the final approval.

"This is a situation that I think is indicative of that." The lot will be accessed from the Laurel Hill Parkway, which is now under construction by the University as an element of the Continuing Education Center. This project is one of four park-and-ride facilities included in the adopted 1988-1993 Capital Improve ments Program for Chapel Hill to help alleviate parking demand and commuter traffic in both the town center and University areas. 1 989-90 Town Budget Expenditures (PROPOSED) Capital Improvements Capital Reserve M Landfill 0 Parking Housing, Community Dev.
