2 <br /> 1 community. He said that classrooms across the County used the Habitat curriculum to make <br /> 2 students aware of the important issue of affordable housing. <br /> 3 Caroline Compton is a fourth grader from Hillsborough Elementary and she read an <br /> 4 essay about her work with this project. She said that Habitat helps people that are living in <br /> 5 unsafe or unaffordable housing that may have no water or heat. She spoke about the <br /> 6 seriousness of poverty. She said that the whole fourth grade at Hillsborough Elementary raised <br /> 7 money for Habitat for Humanity. There was a basketball game with moms playing and dads <br /> 8 cheerleading for the school. There will also be a movie night for fourth and fifth graders to <br /> 9 watch the Pursuit of Happiness. The goal is for each classroom to raise $100, totaling $2,000. <br /> 10 The school has raised over$3,000 with all of the events. They will still work to encourage the <br /> 11 community to participate in Hands for Habitat. <br /> 12 Brian Voyce said that during the last municipal election in Carrboro he supported <br /> 13 Carrboro ETJ efforts to the release from the interference of urban planning of rural land uses. <br /> 14 He said that this was labeled as a publicity stunt. He said that it is not a publicity stunt and it is <br /> 15 a real issue. The underlying issue is important. He said that seeking fairness in government is <br /> 16 never a publicity stunt. He said that he had nothing to gain from supporting the ETJ <br /> 17 landowners and farmers in this County. For financial transparency purposes, he stated that he <br /> 18 does not make any money off real estate development and his only real estate interest in this <br /> 19 County is his home. He said that the County has developed a problem in that excess nutrients <br /> 20 flow off the southern urban County land into the Jordan Lake watershed. He said that Carrboro <br /> 21 has elected to handle this issue by trading off undeveloped ETJ land and the uses of ETJ land <br /> 22 for land within its OWASA service urban boundary. He asked about social justice and said that <br /> 23 there is no social justice in having rural land use by farmers governed by an urban authority and <br /> 24 not a rural authority. Also, the farmers and landowners in this area cannot vote for those <br /> 25 controlling their rural land use rights. He said that rural land use in a municipal ETJ should be <br /> 26 governed by the county and urban land use in a municipal ETJ should be governed by the <br /> 27 Town. He asked the County Commissioners to please listen to the farmers that follow him in <br /> 28 speaking. <br /> 29 Steven Crabtree presented a petition to remand Carrboro's ETJ Over Rural Properties <br /> 34 to Orange county. He read the petition <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Petition to Remand Carrboro's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction over Rural Properties <br /> 33 to orange county <br /> 34 <br /> 35 To: The Town of Carrboro, North Carolina <br /> 36 Att: Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton and Board of Aldermen <br /> 37 Carrboro Town Manager Steve Stewart <br /> 38 Chairperson Valerie Foushee and Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 39 From: The undersigned farm and land owners of Carrboro's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) <br /> 40 Date: October 27, 2009 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Dear Sirs and Madams, <br /> 43 <br /> 44 we, the undersigned rural farm and landowners who reside within and about Carrboro's ETJ, <br /> 45 and particularly those of us who reside within Carrboro's ETJ and its watershed Residential <br /> 46 zone, hereby require and respectfully request that the Town of Carrboro relinquish control over <br /> 47 ETJ and land and return development jurisdiction for it to Orange County government as soon <br /> 48 . as possible for so long as we do not seek to urbanize our real property, or as defined by <br /> 49 procedures set forth in Section 160A-360 of the North Carolina General Statutes. <br /> 50 <br />
