zoning. The next step after adoption of the land use plan is to update development regulations. Commission Knecht arrived at 6:33 p.m. County Manager John Crumpton provided that Lee County has been asked to participate in Chatham County's update in their development regulations. Chair Dalrymple suggested extending the moratorium 24 months providing that the moratorium will be lifted earlier if the work is complete. After further discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to hold a public hearing regarding the extension of the Ordinance Imposing a Temporary Moratorium on Oil and Gas Development and Mining within Lee County and to modify the Ordinance by advancing the time period to 24 months. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Dodson, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Request to Appear from Kevin Combs spoke on behalf of residents on Buckroe Drive regarding bond requirement for developers within the Lee County limits. He stated that the City of Sanford requires bonds for developers to develop within the City limits, however this is not the case within the County. Residents are requesting that the County should adopt a similar regulation to require developers to post bonds. He also provided that the residents of Buckroe Drive ended up having to invest significant time and money in repairing and updating the road so that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) would take it over for maintenance. Planning Director Marshall Downey provided that the County is unable to legally impose the same regulation the City has in place. He stated that the key is that the regulations cover City infrastructure such as water, sewer, and streets, however he did not believe the County could legally collect money for a NCDOT road. We do not have the authority to build residential roads, therefore we do not have the authority to take bond money and build roads. Commissioner Reives suggested a public service announcement regarding early buyers in a development to put people on notice in the future. He also recommended that someone meet with builders to state that this is a concern. County Manager John Crumpton requested that the planning board look into this matter and provide the board with a recommendation. Kirk Grabo of 427 Buckroe Drive said that approximately 1,100 feet of road along Buckroe Drive required repaving and patching costing residents close to $80,000.00 to update the road to NCDOT standards. No action was taken. Rezoning Request for 2925 Airport road Planning Director Marshall Downey provided a recap on a rezoning request for 2925 Airport Road.
