Mr. Dobelstein suggested that the two Boards discuss procedural issues at the March 20th meeting before dealing with the substance of the request of Chapel Hi11. Dr. Boaar referred to the action of the Town of Chapel Hi11 concerning their application to the State for the landfill area in the New Hope Commu- nity. He stated this had left a very bad impression on the people of the community. He stated the needed same evidence of the need for the extra jurisdiction of, in some cases, over three miles, that he personally needed additional information in order to deal with the request. Commissioner Willhoit stated he would like the Boards to consider the extraterritorial request not in terms of arbitrary radii from the Chapel Hill Board, but in terms of the land classification of transision lines in this area. He suggested that lines be based on criteria of areas which will be serviced by water, sewer, and other services. Commissioner Pinney stated a key issue of his'was whether or not Chapel Hill planned to bring trailors in their plan as non-conforming or whether trailors will be zoned as such. The Planning Board indicated they had not digested Maycr Wallace's letter throughly and would be in a better position to talk about the jurisdiction request after the March 20th meeting with representatives of the Chapel Hill Planning Board and staff. Ttem TTI: A vacancy on the Area Mental Health Board has existed for sometime and last appeared on the Commissioners' agenda on November 7, 1977. Commissioner Pinney has requested this item be added to the agenda. Commissioner Pinney nominated Frances Bridgera as a member of the Area Mental Health Board. Commissioner Willhoit seconded the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. An item added to the agenda was a Proclamation declaring March 5th through 10th as Orange County Sheltered Workshop Week. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve .the proclamation. (For copy of proclamation, see next page). The Gounty Attorney reported that from his research, he had determined that a general Ordinance making power would provide the legal vehicle to execute a Disclosure Ordinance declaring that the Health Department must approve all underground absorption systems before they are used. This would apply to all land sold and where construction occurs not now covered by the Subdivision Regulations. Commissioner Willhoit moved to authorize the County Attorney to invest- igate options in which direction the County can proceed. Discussion ensued. The Board requested the County Attorney to prepare a memorandum of options regarding disclosure of underground absorption systems for their consideration. Commissioner Willhoit's motion died for lack of a second. The meeting was then adjourned. RicTiard Whitted, Chaixman Agatha Johnson, Clerk
