The plan was then presented to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners,the Carrboro Board of Alderman,and the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners for review and adoption. The resolutions of adoption for each jurisdiction are included in Appendix F. C. Public Involvement Over the past several years, Orange County and the Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough have held numerous public meetings to gain citizen input into planning topics and programs. Although hazard mitigation has generally not been the topic per se,programs and regulations that directly mitigate hazard vulnerability have been implemented. For example,both Orange County and Carrboro do not allow any new construction within floodplain areas,regardless of finished elevation. In addition,both of these jurisdictions have implemented regulations that limit development in areas with steep slopes. Citizens were invited to comment on the draft of the original Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan on Februazy 25, 2002. The Orange County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on this date at the Orange County Courthouse located in Hillsborough. The meeting was advertised in the News of Orange and Chapel Hill Herald newspapers. No public comments were received during the plan development process. 5
