Aldermen hear residents’ concerns over possible connector road
BY MIKE HIRSCHEL
STAFF WRffER
The idea of building a road extension
to add better access from Carrboro’s
Wexford Subdivision to Homestead
Road brought mixed reactions from the
Board of Aldermen on Tuesday night.
“This item was the result of a request
of the residents, ” Planning Director Roy
Williford said.
Williford explained two options for a
new connector road. The first option
would extend Wyndham Drive and cost
around $127,000.
The second option would extend
Colfax Drive and cost a little over
$168,500, he said.

Because more than 1,700 young ath
letes participate in league play in the Park
and Recreation Department, there is a
great need for volunteer help, he said.
Senior Katie Callaghan coaches in the
10- to 12-year-old girl’s league. She said
she encouraged other students to get in
volved in volunteering.
“(Coaching) is very organized and
flexible,” Callaghan said. “Coaching
times and practicing schedules are easy
to handle.”

“Youknowit’sunrealistic," Alderman
Hilliard Caldwell said. He said the plans
wouldhave to raise taxes by lOcents, and
the board would not want to do that.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist called the
high costs ofthe potential road “serious. ”
She said the town could wait for the land
to be developed and the developers would
be required to build the connector.
Aconcem was expressedby Alderman
Alex Zaffron who said building a road
would set a precedent. He said there
might be an “expectation to repeat such
an action.”
Town Attorney Michael Brough said
the town “wouldn’t be legally compelled
to (build future connector roads).”
However, there could be a political
noncompetitive and nonthreatening
atmosphere.
Holley has expanded the female 6 to
18 program in the past few years.
“Building up the women’s program to
the level that it is now is like a personal
achievement and commitment,” Holley
said.
Student volunteers facilitate the
success of other recreational activities in
the area.
More than half of the volunteers for
Rainbow Soccer come from the
University. For more than 30 years,
Rainbow Soccer has offered these
volunteer opportunities and league play
for people as young as four and as old as
82.
Director Vicky Brawley said she was
expectation to take similar action if the
situation arises, he added.
Caldwell said he thought the road was
unnecessary for the town to build unless
the board was concerned about what
kind of access emergency vehicles would
have to the area without the road.
Not all of Wexford’s residents want
the road extensions. Lucy Gallo, a
member of Concerned Citizens of
Wexford, said the connector could
“threaten the livability of three
neighborhoods.”
She said with the bicyclists on the road
and the number of driveways, added
traffic on the residential streets would be
“conducive to unsafe situations.”
“I think we want to retain that small
amazed at the amount of student
participation.
“One of the things that is extremely
amazing to me is that this year we have
92 teams, and we have over 300
volunteers,” Brawley said. “Over 30 to
40 percent are students from UNC and a
few from Duke.”
Joannah Roseman, a junior
environmental public policy major, said
students played an integral role in the
program. Because there are two coaches
per team and more than 40 teams,
students contribute a lot, she said.
“Some are coaches, referees and some
work in administration,” said Roseman,
one of the program’s coaches. “(There)
are a lot of different facets that constitute
(student help).”
Student volunteers also help Rainbow
Soccer achieve its goal of promoting the
game of soccer as a way to learn
teamwork, cooperation and
determination. The largest emphasis,
though, is fun.

Gallo also said, “Ithink(theconnector
road is) just a matter of timing. ”
Sometime developers will build
connecting roads, she said.
Gallo said she hoped the road would
be build in the safest possible way when
it is built.
The Board made no final decisions
regarding the road extensions. They
referred the mater of the connector road
to the Transportation Advisory Board
for more review before rendering a
decision.
They also askedformore information,
including estimates of the percentages of
internal and external traffic in the area,
and decided to take action later.
other teams,” Roseman said. “We are
here to promote teamwork. The kids
should be able to learn how to attain
goals and have fun.”
For many students, what they put into
their volunteer work, they get right back.
Sophomore Gabrielle Graeter, a
biology major and assistant coach, said
the best thing for her was that instead of
always being with college students, she
got to interact with kids instead.
“I don’t even feel like I’m volunteering
because I get so much out of it, ” Graeter
said. “It’s a change to work with younger
people.”
The youthful energy attracts a lot of
students. Sophomore Meridyth Park, an
assistant coach for Rainbow Soccer, said
little kids were full of vitality.
“It is wonderful seeing the little kids
with so much energy,” Park said.
Park said volunteering helped
highlight young people’s willingness to
work. “Us Generation X-ers on campus
arenotlazy,”Parksaid. “We are teaching
energetic fittle kids how to play soccer.”
Aldermen swimming in debate
over pool safety regulations
BY AMY CAPPIELLO
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
Swimming pool regulations might
become stricter if the Cairboro Board of
Aldermen decides to implement new
standards.
The aldermen discussed current pool
regulations, including fence height and
water discharge, at Tuesday’s meeting.
Allen Spalt, chairman of the Board of
Adjustment, raised concerns his board
had developed after reviewing a special
exception application for anew
swimming pool.
“Currently, there are no rules in
Canboroforconstructionofpools,” Spalt
said.
Spalt said the Board of Adjustment
raised three concerns over swimming
pools. He said fencing, pool covers and
the emptying of pools were the main
issues.
Currently, the town has no standards
for fencing, Spalt said.
“Many, but not all communities, have
a fencing requirement,” he said. “Forty
eight inches seems to be a common
number.”
While the aldermen said they feared
overregulation of fencing, Spalt said one
alternative existed that would cover
fencing and pool covers.
“The state building code has an
optional section called Appendix F that
could be adopted,” he said.
The appendix says pool fences must
be at least 48 inches in height and that
openings in the fence must be no larger

than 4 inches in diameter. Also, gates
and doors must be self-closing and self
latching.
“If the residence forms part of the
fencing of the pool, (the appendix)
requires that there be self-closing doors
or audible alarms on the doors so people
know the pool door is open,” Spalt said.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist said she was
pleased the Board of Adjustment brought
the matter of pool fences before the
aldermen.
“I’m glad that you brought all this up
because I think it’s better to be proactive
before we have a tragedy and have to
react,” Gist said.
Spalt also expressed his concern about
the drainage of pool water into the ground.
“If a pool is emptied, that’s dumping
thousands of gallons of water that
contains chemicals designed to kill living
things into the water system,” Spalt said.
Spaltsaid the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority does not allow pool discharge
to be connected to the sewer system.
Therefore, Spalt said if a pool is
emptied, the water must be drained into
the ground.
Alderman Hank Anderson said
chlorinated water entering the water
system was not a big problem.
“Don’t worry about the chlorine,”
Anderson said. “You can add salt ash to
neutralize the chlorine and then the sun
takes it out.”
The aldermen decided by consensus
to refer Appendix F and the issue of pool
water discharge to the staff for the
development of an ordinance.
