DRAFT 27 <br />Attachment 6 <br />237 Earl McKee: Once this plan is developed and adopted, if there is a conflict between plan recommendations or regulations <br />238 adopted through this plan and County regulations, which would trump? <br />239 <br />240 Karen Lincoln: The County will be adopting the plan. This is a County plan and it is used by DOT. It has to be on this plan to <br />241 get money for it. <br />242 <br />243 Earl McKee: This money comes through state or federal? <br />244 <br />245 Karen Lincoln: Both. We will develop a recommended plan and at that point we will have another public workshop and it will be <br />246 presented to the advisory Boards and we will develop a final plan. Then we will start endorsing and adopting the final plan. <br />247 Orange County will adopt its Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the MPO will have to adopt the CTP in the area of Orange <br />248 County that is in the MPO and they will endorse the rest of the plan. TARPO will endorse the plan for the part of the County that <br />249 is outside. NCDOT has to adopt the CTP and it has to adopt the MPO's CTP. This plan will become part of the State <br />250 Comprehensive Transportation Plan. <br />251 <br />252 Brian Crawford: Will we have an official role or expect something to come out of this body? <br />253 <br />254 Karen Lincoln: There are several ways to participate. You have a member on the Orange Unified Transportation Board and that <br />255 Board is working with this. She can relate any progress or updates with the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. If you have <br />256 issues you can relay those to the Orange Unified Transportation Board. <br />257 <br />258 Brian Crawford: The purpose of the presentation was to get our presentation. I want to know if this is an official participation to <br />259 form some sort of subcommittee or can we go through you. I think I would be much happier if you would handle that for us. <br />260 <br />261 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: I can update you what I hear at the OUTBoard meeting. I am not sure what I will take back to them. <br />262 <br />263 Karen Lincoln: When we start developing the alternatives I thought the OUTBoard and the Planning Board could have a joint <br />264 meeting. The other way is that someone would like to be a member of the steering committee but we meet every third <br />265 Wednesday at 10:00 AM in the morning. <br />266 <br />267 Larry Wright: On the survey through Survey Monkey, when is it targeted to go out now? <br />268 <br />269 Karen Lincoln: We have not endorsed the final version and run it by the Board of County Commissioners. We were trying to get <br />270 it done before the Board of County Commissioners meeting in August. <br />271 <br />272 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: Did this Board look at it or was it the OUTBoard? <br />273 <br />274 Karen Lincoln: The OUTBoard looked at it and made some changes. <br />275 <br />276 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: I remember some of the very important comments were that the reading level was very high and in order to <br />277 get good participation it should be less technical and more user - friendly. <br />278 <br />279 Karen Lincoln: That is why I would like comments on the survey. The DCHC MPO will develop their comprehensive plan with a <br />280 similar timeline. <br />281 <br />282 Brian Crawford: For now, Mary, you will be our liaison, information gatherer and chief and report back to us? <br />283 <br />284 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: Yes. Again, I don't know what to tell them from you. Karen, you gave a lot of information. <br />285 <br />286 AGENDA ITEM 8: REVIEW AND COMMENT ON UPCOMING PLANNING ITEMS <br />287 To review and comment on items on the non - public hearing portion of the upcoming Quarterly Public <br />288 Hearing agenda. Items include the proposed processes to be followed in regards to Comprehensive <br />289 Plan and Small Area Plan implementation measures. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) will <br />290 also be discussed. <br />291 Presenter: Tom Altied, Planner III and Michael Harvey, Planner III <br />292 <br />293 Craig Benedict: I will give an introduction. The agenda package contains the cover sheet and then the draft agenda item <br />294 abstract for the August 24 Public Hearing. At the Quarterly Public Hearing, there are two formal items. One item deals with the <br />295 outdoor lighting standards with outdoor rural lighting. The other deals with a strategic growth and rural conservation study. The <br />
