Town-Gown Spat Focus of Bill
By Sally Francis
Staff Writer
As the town of Chapel Hill and UNC
continue to batde over the Master Plan,
a member of the N.C. General
Assembly has made plans for the legis
lature to assume responsibility if a con
clusion is not made soon.
Sen. Walter Dalton, D-
Rutherfordton, recendy proposed “An
Act to Resolve Any Controversy
Between the Town of Chapel Hill and
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill” to the Senate floor that
could entide the state legislature to
make decisions regarding the
University’s rights for expansion.
The bill is a security measure in case
a conclusion is not made between the
school and the town. It is a blank bill
that was created to meet the bill-filing
deadline and will be filled in later with
content if the state needs to get
involved. “Some type of bill needed to
be filed in the event the legislature
needs to be involved,” Dalton said. “We
don’t know how this will progress.”
He said the current controversy is
similar to a parent whose two children
are in an argument “You hope they can
reach an agreement on their own, but if
they can’t, then you step in,” Dalton said.
Last month the UNC Board of
Trustees unanimously approved a plan
to add 5 million square feet of building
space to the campus, increasing the total
to 18.6 million square feet.
But the town of Chapel Hill has a
development regulation cap at 14 million
square feet, making it impossible for the
University to carry out all its expansion
proposals until the cap is removed.
Both Dalton and local officials are
confident the University and the town
will be able to resolve die conflict and
that the state will not need to intervene.
Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, said the
University and town have a strong,
more than 200 year history and that she
is positive they will be able to work
together to resolve the conflict.
“We have able people in Chancellor
(James) Moeser and Mayor (Rosemary)
Waldorf working on the issue,” Insko
Parking 2001
The Department of Public Safety is offering
parking pre-registration for all eligible students for f
the 2001/2002 academic year now through May
24th, 2001. Visit the Department of Public Safety’s 1 NK J
website to pre-register and find out more
information about student parking for next Fall:
www.dps.unc.edu
The pre-registration process is a lottery; all those who pre
register between April 2nd and May 24th, 2001 have an equal
chance of receiving a permit. So, pre-register online, and put
yourself in the driver's seat when it comes to parking next year.

said. “Both have collaboration as a top
priority.”
On Monday night, the Chapel Hill
Town Council met and drafted a
response to Moeser’s request asking for
the University to be exempt from the
town’s zoning regulations.
The council unanimously approved a
statement that allows the University to
complete all the bond and housing pro
jects in the time allotted if the school
meets community responsibilities.
The town wants the school to assume
a larger fiscal responsibility by paying
for the cost of its growth, Waldorf said.
“The University exists to serve the
state,” she said. “It doesn’t seem fair that
the University not pay the costs that it
brings to the local community.”
The University will respond to the
town’s proposal modifications in a meet
ing April 18, but if both cannot reach an
agreement in the near future, the state leg
islature might possibly become involved
under rights given to it by Dalton’s act
