In malting this recommenda tion to the Chapel Hill aldermen at their meeting night before last, the planners set a 200 square-foot maximum size on signs and urged that they be al lowed as close as 15 feet from, the highway right-of-way. Pres ently a greater set-back is re quired, and> the size limitations are tied to the lot area. Roy. Martin, Chairman of the Zoning Committee, which propos ed the ordinance changes, said he felt the new recommendations were ‘ fairer and more realistic.” It would permit signs th be larg er, up to the 200 square-foot maximum on the viewable side, as they were set back farther from the right-of-way line of the highway. The greatest set-back—25 feet —would be required for the nar rowest highway right-of-way. The planners also discussed the need for review of zoning on the north side (Airport Rd. area) of town, an area deemed increas ingly important as an approach road and link to Interstate High way 85. Some members felt that up-zoning of soqie areas would be in order, and that other sec tors should be re-ioned from from their present-category of agricultural. choir practice at Duke Chapel.

He estimated that drivers would have to stop for no more than a minute or two in all. “We don’t want to delay people any more than we can help,” he said. “We’re not interested in. speed ing or any violations—simply the traffic volume.” The 20 to 25 interviewers will also interview people at 250 pre selected houses in the community beginning next week to build up a “typical picture of people’s movements during the day.” j They’ll ask where people who left the house during the prev ious day went, in an effort to determine primary traffic pat terns in Chapel Hill. One hun dred students will be interview ed and 150 townspeople. Mr. Faust noted that traffic counts would also be made by using mechanical counters acti vated by pressure hoses laid a. cross the road at key intersec tions. From to 10 months will be needed to make up the analy sis of the study, he said. HiU will be appealed? to Orange County Superior Court, develop er Jack Carlisle har said. Mr. Carlisle said he would con test the verdict of the Chapel HiU Board of Adjustment, ren dered following a judicial hear ing on his case night before last The Board ruled that 10 duplex bousing units he erected on his Rolling Hills subdivision off the Pittsboro Road a mile south of town were trailers and directed that the building permits issued for their erection last month be revoked. This left Carlisle with two al ternatives, other than his appeal: Either remove the bousing units frora his property. or bring them into compliance with, the zoning ordinance by securing a special use permit for two trailer parks front the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen. He was written this effect yes terday by Chapel: HiU Building (inspector Frank Morrow, who gave Carlisle 14 days to bring his property into compliance with the local law. In appearing before Hie Board of Adjustment on Monday night, Carlisle claimed that his project constituted a single multi-unit building. Five duplex mobile homes were placed on a com mon foundation on the building site, with the roofs of each trad er touching. After hearing all the evidence and deliberating, the Board rul ed that the building inspector had erred in issuing a building permit for the project, in that only the aldermen had authority to issue a trailer park permit. About a dozen residents of the area adjoining Mr. Carlisle’s property appeared at the hear ing to object to his project.
