Next Steas The most immediate next step that involves the elected leadership and staff of the Towns and County regards action on the proposed small area plan itself. The Rogers Road planning area is located in the Chapel Hill Transition Area as defined by the Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) and implementation will require amendments to the Joint Land Use Plan (LUP). All three parties to the JPA - Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County -must adopt the required amendments. The Town of Chapel Hill has lead responsibility for initiating proposed changes to the LUP projected for the October 2009 JPA Public Hearing. The BOCC is also scheduled to resume its consideration of alternate locations for the solid waste transfer station when it reconvenes in the fall. The official organization of an intergovernmental work group to address public water and sewer infrastructure requests remains pending but could also occur in late fall. The attachments to this abstract constitute a "body of work" that should be helpful to the BOCC as it looks to participate in a coordinated, organized review of policy decisions and financing options along side Town counterparts and the OWASA Board of Directors. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Implementation of many of the recommendations made in the Town Small Area Plan and/or BOCC Task Force Final Report is expected to have significant fiscal impacts, most especially water and sewer development An intergovernmental work group is expected to pursue an aggressive strategy of financing options to help support desired community improvements. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Manager recommends the Board: 1. Receive the Rogers Road Area: Cross-Reference of Town and County Task Force Reports and related historical background; and 2. Authorize County staff to continue in coordination with Town counterparts relative to next steps.
