Anew alderman was sworn in to

one who served on the board for eight
years can be considered “new.”

One of the country’s top journalism

since he is moving to anew home out
side of the Carrboro town limits.
After Shetley was sworn in,
Alderman Alex Zaffron gave her his
chair, since he said it was reserved for
the newest alderman.
“Coming back to the Board of
Aldermen is somewhat like coming
home,” Shetley said.
She said the board showed a great
deal of trust in her by selecting her to fill
Bryan’s seat.
“I shall do my best to deserve the

“We’re very grateful for the state

In order to attract outside revenue for
the project, names of rooms and facili

Cole’s continuous fund-raising hunt
got more ammo in February when a six

The Council approved another six

Board studies
solutions for
rain dilemma
B Residents of Cobblestone
told the board runoff was
flooding their yards.
BY MICHAEL KANAREK
SENIOR WRITER
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
revisited the drainage problems suffered
by residents of the Cobblestone subdi
vision at their Tuesday night meeting.
Cobblestone residents complained
that water runoff from the Wexford and
Williams Woods development is flood
ing their yards.
“When I look
up at the sky and
it rains, I start
cursing the rain,”
Cobblestone resi
dent Chris Tobin
said.
In his report to
the board, Town
Engineer Henry
Wells suggested
several different
solutions to the
drainage prob
lems, including
drainage ditches
and piping, but he
recommended the
use of a drainage
ditch, which the
Alderman

suggested the two

solution to the
flooding problem.
developer agreed to construct.
But the residents didn’t like the
option of using a ditch because it would
render a portion of their backyard use
less for anything other than planting
grass. Tobin said, “I think the open
ditch will ruin my back yard and will
create a child trap.”
But Wells said any kind of piping
could be clogged by debris, while a
ditch’s carrying capacity isn’t affected
by debris.
Cobblestone residents said discus
sions at a March 1996 meeting about
drainage solutions had almost strictly
revolved around using piping.
But Town Attorney Mike Brough
said the developers and residents had
only reached a “likely agreement,” and
any talks they had were not binding.
Cobblestone residents wanted to
know if the developer would be willing
to apply the same amount that the ditrh
would have cost to the more expensive
piping option.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist asked that
town staff speak with the developer
while neighborhood residents discussed
their willingness to pay for the rest of
the project.
Gist said, “We’re just testing the
waters, so to speak.”
