A group of demonstrators that briefly occupied a building at 201 N. Greensboro St. Saturday say they'll plant a garden on the property to protest a CVS store planned for the site.

The group called Carrboro Commune includes members of the local anarchist community and Occupy Chapel Hill-Carrboro movements. On Monday, Occupy said it did not endorse the building takeover, which ended when police ordered the demonstrators out or said they would arrest them. (Read that story here.) 

On Sunday, demonstrators huddled in the cold outside the building and decided to plant the garden as the next step in their protest against the 24-hour drug store, which would replace the CVS across the street in the Carr Mill Mall shopping center. They plan to announce the "guerilla gardening" project at a meeting with developers at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Town Hall.  The developers plan to present the latest version of their plans for the store at the meeting.

A Town Council member has asked for a discussion on plans to fully enforce restrictions on future public gatherings in public spaces suchas Peace and Justice Plaza.

In a memo to the Chapel Hill Town Council last week, Town Manager Roger Stancil noted that town officials chose not to enforce rules for permits and limits on how long groups can remain on public space during the three-month Occupy tent encampment outside the Franklin Street post office that ended Jan. 10.

The Occupy movement’s departure presents “a timely opportunity for us to consider enforcement,” Stancil wrote in the memo.

In an email, Town Council member Laurin Easthom asked the manager to put the plan on the agenda for a future meeting so the council can discuss it.
