What this means for you

Instructions from Town of Pittsboro

This site is not the Town of Pittsboro. Use the comment form at pittsboronc.gov/645/Chatham-Park-South-Village-Section-Desig, or leave a voicemail at 984-282-6647, by 11:59 p.m. Oct. 27. Submissions may be public records. This site is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911.

What happened

In Pittsboro, the town is still taking comments on the first section design plans for a large piece of Chatham Park's South Village.

Town instructions say the window opened Oct. 13 and closes at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27. The plans on the form are numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 and D2.

How to comment

Written remarks go through the town's online form. A voicemail option is 984-282-6647. Callers are asked to leave a name, an address and their feedback, and the Board of Commissioners is to see the comments.

The town also warns that electronic submissions may be public records.

A recording of Monday, Oct. 12, board discussion is linked on the same page, with the agenda packet.

Where the land is

A town notice, carried Oct. 14 by the Chatham Journal, puts the four plans on 1,341 acres now zoned Planned Development District. It lists Parcel ID 7403, in the extraterritorial jurisdiction south of Roberson Creek, north of Charlie Brooks Road, east of Moncure Pittsboro Road and west of Gum Springs Church Road.

Chapelboro's Oct. 20 story on that Monday meeting described the same four sections as about 1,300 acres on the south side of the creek.

What is not settled

Housing counts in meeting coverage do not match. No unit total is published here until the town posts one figure it treats as controlling.

Chapelboro reported a formal vote next month after the two-week comment period. That page does not name a decision date.

Accounts also disagree on whether homes would sit behind gates. That point stays in the unknown list.

This site is not the Town of Pittsboro. Use the town's form, or the voicemail number, by 11:59 p.m. Oct. 27. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Text-only. No town plan graphics or newsroom photos are used here.

Why it matters

These four sections are a large piece of Pittsboro's extra-territorial growth. The comment period is still open. Readers need the town's form, the voicemail number and a clear line between what the town has posted and the housing counts that still do not match.
