Carrboro in Need of a Construction Management Plan

There is a new step in the approval process for developers who are looking to establish their business to Carrboro.


The Carrboro Board of Aldermen has approved of an amendment to the land use ordinance of the town to demand town approval of a construction management plan for developments with an important effect on public streets and other nearby properties.

The Carrboro Board of Aldermen has approved the text amendment with a hint of requirement for more meetings to be held between town staff, the developer and Carrboro residents. It has been notified that if there is a requirement of a construction management plan due to the development, a meeting will be organized by the developer after the permit is issued. And before the construction permit is issued a meeting will be held with other members of town staff. As per the text amendment, no construction on new developments can begin before the town agrees the construction management plan of the project.

It is notable that the board has discussed on changes and modifications to its land use ordinance on water quality buffers. The board has also asked the town staff to continue work with representatives from the Orange Water and Sewer Authority to decide on the width of sewer easements in the town.

The town’s development review administrator, Marty Roupe, said that town staffs have struggled to develop the apt language for the construction management plan text amendment. He also added that this amendment would fit the board’s objective for development in the town.
