UNC
The national Sierra Club honored UNC for its innovative stormwater techniques in a publication released today.
Selected excerpts from a press release issued by Bernadette Pelissier of the Orange/Chatham Group of the Sierra Club:
NOTICE TO CITIZENS
CONCERNED ABOUT A
CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE
FOR CHAPEL HILL
PUBLIC HEARING
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 7PM
CHAPEL HILL TOWN HALL
405 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BLVD
The Town of Chapel Hill passed a Development Plan for UNC's Central Campus in 2001 under the OI-4 zoning ordinance. Two modifications have been requested and granted since that time.
Now UNC has submitted Development Plan Modification No. 3. This proposal includes over a million square feet of additional buildings on campus.
Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel has a front page story about John Edwards called "Edwards on the Road.†It has a big map of the USA plotting Edward's public travel schedule. The story comes to the conclusion that he is campaigning for President in 2008. Shocked? Not I.
Is John Hood an expert on John Edwards? I wondered this because the story quotes him about the nature of Edward's activities. Hood is President of the John Locke Foundation, a well known conservative think tank here in North Carolina - hardly an unbiased expert on the subject of liberal politicians.
As a part of their application for a third modification to their Development Plan,
UNC is holding a meeting to focus on "perimeter transition areas"
(areas where campus development has a greater impact on neighbors). The
meeting is today at 5:30 at the UNC Law School, room #5046.
We were shown a flyer for this meeting at the last Chapel Hill
Planning Board meeting, but I can't find any information online about
it. You don't have to be a UNC neighbor to attend.
