~ ~', n <br />understand this position, Such a request would change the character of this <br />matter from a planning issue to a political issue. To suggest that it should <br />pose no problem because it could be withdrawn at any time is unrealistic from <br />the County's point of view. We would feel a need to activate our opposition <br />immediately. <br />The County re-emphasizes its desire to cooperate with Chapel Hill in <br />jointly planning these areas. Our delegates to the new sub-committee have <br />reiterated .this desire and have offered-specific suggestions for getting it <br />underway. A request.to the General Assembly would indicate the Town's desire <br />to move in a different direction and could seriously endanger such joint planning <br />efforts: It could also impede progress in the Southern By-Pass issue with those <br />residents who would 6e dually affected. And'it would certainly tend to increase <br />the urban-rural tensions across our County. <br />The Board of Commissioners recognizes the prerogative of the Town Council <br />to choose such a Course, and states its position clearly at this time in an <br />effort to communicate the seriousness of this matter and to avoid misunderstanding.. <br />We also address this statement to the citizens of Orange County in response to the <br />many concerns which have been expressed to us. <br />Unanimously adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners this the <br />15th day of February, 1979. <br />This is to certify that the above is a <br />true and correct copy of sa much of the <br />minutes of the Orange County Board of <br />Comrnissioner~' meeting on February 15, 1979. <br />By : ~ G~ou.~ ~ <br />', Clerk to a Orange County Boa d <br />~~ of Commissioners <br />-3- <br />
