Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough, N. C. 2 72 78 <br />April 29, 1999 <br />15 <br />Ms. Lynne Holtkamp <br />2004 Ben Wilson Road <br />Mebane, NC 27302 <br />Dear Ms. Holtkamp: <br />Knowing of your concerns as expressed in the past regarding a satellite annexation by Mebane in the <br />vicinity of the Hebron Community, the Commissioners wanted you to be aware of productive outcomes <br />in recent discussions with the City of Mebane. Based on these discussions, the City of Mebane and <br />Orange County are in the process of committing to a joint Resolution of Intent to Pursue Joint Planning <br />to be signed within the next thirty days. This resolution would articulate principles of joint planning to <br />be followed by both jurisdictions. <br />A point of agreement that we believe is of great interest to you is the stated intent by the City of Mebane <br />that it does not plan to enter into any additional satellite annexations affecting Orange County without <br />written consent of the Orange County Commissioners. Other elements that could be included in the joint <br />Planning Process are: <br />• a process for contiguous annexations, to be discussed <br />• collaboration on water and sewer extension plans <br />• collaboration on efforts within the Economic Development District (EDD) in the I- 854-40 <br />Buckhom area <br />• protection of natural resources including watershed preservation <br />• coordination of transportation initiatives, particularly related to the I- 40/1 -85 Corridor <br />• shared information as to the impacts of development in areas of mutual interest, to include <br />impacts of service requirements; i.e. fire, law enforcement, schools, recreation, and so forth. <br />You Count In Orange County <br />AREA CODE (919) 732 -8181: 968 -6501: 688-7331: 227 -2031: FAX (919) 644 -3004 <br />Ext 2130 <br />
