Using the Caller List Caller ID Number Auto Edit Feature Base Unit Handset
There are 3 patterns of phone number [(a), (b), and (c), p. 30]. This feature allows your phone to automatically edit an in-coming Caller ID number into a pattern of your choice, and display the Caller ID number with that pattern automatically. After this feature is activated, Caller ID numbers coming from specic area codes (201, for example), from which the Caller ID numbers have been chosen to follow the desired pattern (7-digit pattern, for example), will be automatically edited from other patterns (11-digit pattern, for example) into the same pattern you have previously selected (which is 7-digit pattern, in this example). Up to 4 area codes can be designated for this feature for pattern (a), (b), and (c) (p. 30). The Caller ID numbers can be edited automatically on the base unit and the cordless handset separately. Changes made on the cordless handset cannot be used to make a call with the base unit and vice versa. To activate this feature, you must (1) set this feature to ON, and (2) make an out-going call from Caller List (p. 30) with a number which has one of the 3 patterns that you have edited with specic area codes, and that you prefer to be followed by future Caller ID numbers, so that in the future all the Caller ID numbers coming from the same area code will be displayed in the same pattern. The Caller ID number Auto Edit feature is preset at the factory to ON. If a call does not go through, the phone number you dialed may have an incorrect pattern. Please edit the phone number with another pattern (p. 30). For example, if you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature to OFF to erase previously edited area codes. Then, if still necessary, you may activate this feature again. You can turn on/off the feature on the base unit and the cordless handset separately.

ADOPTION OF ZONING AMENDMENT Development Services Director John Spear presented the following cases: Case 20080304 Joseph Sykes - Joseph Sykes request to change the zoning classification of 351 Hilltop Drive from RA, Residential/Agriculture to CDR-3, Conditional District Multi-Family Residential. Mr. Spear informed the Council that the Planning Commission tabled consideration of this case until September due to occupancy issues that need to be considered and because Mr. Sykes was unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting on August 18th. Mr. Spear noted that the Planning Commission tabled consideration of the following cases until the regular meeting in September due to time constraints at the August 18th meeting: Case 20080389 Parking Requirements - Boone Area Planning Commission request to update the parking requirements in Article XIX of the Unified Development Ordinance. Case 20080390 Density & Dimensional Requirements - Boone Area Planning Commission request to update the density and dimensional requirements in Article VII of the Unified Development Ordinance. Case 20080399 Signs - Community Appearance Commission request to update the sign requirements in Article XVII of the Unified Development Ordinance. Mr. Spear presented the following case for Councils consideration: Case 20080397 Appalachian State University - Appalachian State request to change the zoning classification of two parcels of land adjoining the western campus boundary from R-1, SingleFamily Residential to U-1, University District. Mr. Spear indicated that the Planning Commission recommendation is for approval and that the application is consistent with all of the objectives and policies for growth and development contained in the 2006 Boone Comprehensive Plan. Members of the Council indicated that it would be helpful in the decision-making process for these cases to have the minutes from the Planning Commission meeting which include discussion of the cases. Council Member Aycock stated her concern with this request stems from input from the Pond Road residents who expressed disappointment with the construction process of the new baseball field. Council Member Aycock moved to table this case until the next meeting to allow for ASU to develop specific plans for the project and to garner further input from the adjacent neighborhoods. The motion died for lack of a second. Council Member Mason acknowledged the need for student housing and pointed out that the Town and ASU are working on developing a joint master plan to address such issues as the need for student housing. She pointed out that issues regarding density and permissible uses within a zoning district cannot be addressed through the general use rezoning process. Council Member Mason stated that she feels she could support this project if it were submitted using the conditional district rezoning process. Council Member Brantz stated he will support the request since the university is proving to be a good neighbor and is responsible in planning these projects. He stated the location is an ideal place for residence halls. Council Member Pepin stated she feels that she cannot support the general-use rezoning request since there is no mechanism for placing conditions on the project. Council member Phillips asked if there was a way to reach a compromise so the University would not have to go before the Council of State in order to get permission to subject property owned by the state to the town's conditional land usage process. For instance, perhaps the land use agreement between the town and university that was approved in December 2007 could be amended to allow more protection to single-family neighborhoods

when such property adjoins university property. This agreement could be more specific about lighting, noise, storm water runoff, and buffering. Upon a motion by Council Member Pepin, seconded by Council Member Mason, Council moved to deny Appalachian State Universitys request to change the zoning classification of two parcels of land adjoining the western campus boundary from R-1, Single-Family Residential to U-1, University District. VOTE: Aye - 4 (Phillips, Aycock, Mason, Pepin) Nay - 1 (Brantz)

He stated he was unable to contact Mr. Cecile to determine if he would prefer to serve on either the BOA or the Planning Commission. Upon a motion by Council Member Mason, seconded by Council Member Aycock, Council moved to table the consideration of this matter until the September meeting to allow for further advertisement.

REQUESTED APPEARANCE - NAN CHASE Nan Chase, on behalf of the Daniel Boone Native Gardens, appeared before the Council to request renewal of the lease with the Town of Boone. Town Manager Greg Young stated that the lease was originally adopted on June 30, 1959 for a forty-nine year term, which expired on June 30th of this year. He pointed out that since the lease has expired, the renewal option cannot be requested. Town Attorney Sam Furgiuele stated that since the time of the initial lease agreement, the law has changed, an act which would limit the Towns ability to enter into a lease for longer than a ten year term. Ms. Chase stated that the Garden Club of North Carolina which oversees the local garden club meets in September and that she will approach the group with this matter to determine the details for a new lease agreement with the Town. Upon a motion by Council Member Mason, seconded by Council Member Aycock, Council moved to direct the Town Attorney to confer with Ms. Chase to propose a lease agreement for the Councils consideration at the next meeting in September. VOTE: Aye - All Nay - None
REQUESTED APPEARANCE - FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Town Attorney Sam Furgiuele opened a public hearing at 8:49 p.m. to hear sworn testimony from Mark White and Kelvin Gryder of First Presbyterian Church, Public Utilities Director Rick Miller and Development Services Director John Spear. Mr. White began by explaining that the church is relocating from the downtown area and is hoping to become an important part of its new community. He stated that the request is for sewer-only 2022 gallons per day. He anticipates construction beginning in the spring of 2009 and, in addition to the sanctuary and church offices, the campus will include an emergency shelter and facilities to host the ASU ministry program and the First Morning Out daycare program. He stated that the installation of a septic system for the property would limit the churchs planned growth to accommodate these programs. Mr. White stated that there is a well-water system in place although he indicated that the church will agree to connect to the Towns water system if it becomes available. Council Member Pepin voiced a concern with extending sewer lines to the property. Public Utilities Director Rick Miller stated that process will involve approval by the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers since the line would cross
over two streams. Development Services Director John Spear stated that the property is located in the Rural Growth Area and in Watauga County, outside both the ETJ and town limits. Council Member Brantz questioned Mr. Spear regarding the possible annexation of the property. Mr. Spear stated that there are no foreseeable problems with the annexation process in itself; however, he pointed out that the watershed designation that would be designated by the Town for that property could be more limiting than the installation of a septic system. Mr. Kevin Gryder stated that the property is part of a six-parcel subdivision and that the owner of the other parcel is not interested in annexation at this time. With no further testimony, Mr. Furgiuele closed the public hearing at 9:17 p.m. Council Member Mason stated she would not be comfortable supporting this request without the annexation of the property. She also questioned whether the Town would like to participate at this time in the installation of a larger, upgraded line in anticipation of future growth, especially with several other capital projects underway. Council Member Pepin expressed concern with setting precedent by continuing to grant sewer-only requests without some type of criteria in place to make these decisions. Upon a motion by Council Member Mason, seconded by Council Member Brantz, Council moved to table the consideration of this request until further information can be provided by the Public Utilities Department regarding what the cost will be to upgrade the sewer line and so that the applicant can investigate the implications of the watershed designation if they were to annex the property. VOTE: Aye - All Nay - None
