Based on these discussions, the City of Mebane and <br />Orange County are in the process of committing to a joint Resolution of Intent to Pursue Joint Planning <br />to be signed within the next thirty days. This resolution would articulate principles of joint planning to <br />be followed by both jurisdictions. <br />A point of agreement that we believe is of great interest to you is the stated intent by the City of Mebane <br />that it does not plan to enter into any additional satellite annexations affecting Orange County without <br />written consent of the Orange County Commissioners. Other elements that could be included in the joint <br />planning process are: <br />• a process for contiguous annexations, to be discussed <br />• collaboration on water and sewer extension plans <br />• collaboration on efforts within the Economic Development District (EDD) iq the I-85/I-40 <br />Buckhorn area <br />• protection of natural resources including watershed preservation <br />• coordination of transportation initiatives, particularly related to the I-40/I-85 Corridor <br />• shared information as to the impacts of development in areas of mutual interest, to include <br />impacts of service requirements; i.e. fire, law enforcement, schools, recreation, and so forth. <br />Pou Count In Orange County <br />AREA CODE (919) 73Z-8181: 968-4501: 688-7331: 227-2031: FAX (919) 64~ .300 <br />Ert 2130 <br />
