Main Street <br />Carrboro, North Carolina 27510 <br />Dear Mayor Nelson and Aldermen: <br />pfi-r�-:56- 9� <br />3w <br />6°l <br />*` <br />On February 19, 1999 Patricia McGuire transmitted to John Link <br />and Gene Bell proposed amendments to the Town's Land Use Ordinance <br />which are intended to implement the recommendations of the Small <br />Area Plan for Carrboro's Northern Study Area'(NSA). The transmittal <br />letter refers to the public hearing Carrboro will hold on March 23, <br />1999 on those ordinance text amendments. It also refers to Section <br />2.6, subsection C of the Joint Planning Agreement and its process. <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners has not received an <br />analysis from its Planning staff concerning the proposed ordinance <br />text amendments. Neither has it had an opportunity to consider the <br />proposed amendments. The Board had hoped to receive a presentation <br />about the ordinance from your Planning staff and your attorney <br />during the March 16, 1999 Board of Commissioners meeting. However, <br />that presentation was not made because the related agenda item had <br />not been reached by 11:00 p.m. At that hour the Board members were <br />not able to hear a presentation concerning these complex amendments. <br />Further, following an opportunity to receive your Planning staff <br />presentation and to raise questions with your Planning staff and <br />your attorney, the Board of County Commissioners wants to take time <br />to review and discuss among its members the ordinance amendments <br />before taking action. At this time, based on the recommendation of <br />the county attorney, I anticipate that the Board of County <br />You Count In Orange County <br />AREA CODE (919) 732 -8181: 968 -4501: 688 -7331: 227 -2031: FAX (919) 644-3004 <br />Ext. 2130 <br />
