SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS - NONE <br /> VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS - NONE <br /> VII. REPORTS <br /> A. REPORTS TO THE COMMUNITY <br /> Planning Director Marvin Collins gave specific information on the <br /> Comprehensive Plan Element for Eno Township. He noted that Eno had a growth <br /> rate of 7% between 1970 and 1980 and a growth rate of 2% between 1980 and <br /> 1990. He also gave information on the proposed economic development district <br /> for Eno Township.

COMMUNITY CONCERNS <br /> Barbara Robertson asked about the status of University Station. <br /> She voiced a concern about the traffic on Old NC10 and asked for an update on <br /> the extension of water and sewer into the more urban areas. She feels that <br /> water and sewer extensions from Durham and Hillsborough will present all kinds <br /> of problems. <br /> Chair Carey indicated that University Station is being developed <br /> within the guidelines already approved and that no amendment was made for this <br /> development. Her traffic concerns on Old NC10 will be referred to NCDOT. <br /> C. IMPLEMENTATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE TAXATION CHANGES <br /> John Link reported that as of January 1, 1993, the process for <br /> listing, billing, and collection of property taxes on registered motor <br /> vehicles is tied to registration with the North Carolina Department of Motor <br /> Vehicles. Vehicle owners will receive a bill for property taxes approximately <br /> three months after their registration expires for each vehicle, instead of <br /> being billed in July for taxes on vehicles as well as real property. <br /> This report was received for information only. <br /> D.
