Ms. McNeill recommended the approval of the Preliminary Plat as presented with exceptions granted for the cul-de-sac length and the lot -to -width depth ratio as allowed by the UDO.

The Board next considered a Memorandum of Agreement between the Lee County Library and the Lee County Board of Education. Lee County Library Director Susan Benning stated that the collaboration between the Lee County Library and the Lee County Board of Education would allow student ID numbers to be used as Lee County library cards. This will allow students to have free access 24/7 to all of the library's digital research resources available on NC LIVE valued at 21.4 million dollars and e -books on E -Inc. including the new $200,000 NC Digital Library funded by the North Carolina General Assembly. She stated that students would also be able to use their school IDs to check out 10 physical books in the library. This is a cost savings because if the library issued traditional library card to these 11,200 students, the cost would be approximately $3,920.00. Ms. Benning also stated that the Lee County Library would pay for the black and white printing cost of the two-sided letters to parents of students estimated to be approximately $375.00 if printed by a print shop. The proposed Memorandum of Agreement has been signed by the Lee County School Board and the Superintendent.
