OUTLINE OF AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE AS SUBMITTED BY THE JOINT PLANNING/WATERSHED WORK ,GROUP Commissioner Willhoit explained that the thirteen (13) points as listed by the Joint Planning/Watershed Work Group is an attempt to separate out and to consider specific issues at the February 23, 1987 public hearing instead of hearing all the issues at the March 10, 1987 Joint Area Public Hearing. The outline of the agreement in principle has been approved by the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and both agreed to the February 23 public hearing. Robert Morgan, Town Manager of Carrboro, spoke about the land swap and the option of the acre for acre exchange versus density basis. County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill clarified that under the .existing Joint Planning Agreement with Chapel Hill any change in the Land Use Plan must be approved by both Chapel Hill and Orange County. There is na problem with setting up a part of the 23rd meeting as a Joint Public Hearing with Chapel Hill. There was a consensus of the Board that approval of these thirteen points in principle does not support or endorse the swapping of ` land but only that the Board agrees to take the issue to public hearing. Commissioner Willhoit explained that #7 indicates that the County agrees to go to public hearing on the moving of the transition line and that the County will go to public hearing on the advisability of supporting the change. Commissioner Halkiotis referred to #11 and emphasized that the approval of the thirteen (13) items will provide an opportunity for people who live in that area to make comments. Geoffrey Gledhill responded to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis on item #il stating that legislation is needed that would permit local governments to make joint legislative decisions. Bob Morgan pointed to the map indicating an area that should have been included in the transition area for Carrboro. The area is north of Carrboro's town border and would put Calvander in Carrboro's extra- territorial jurisdiction. Planning Director Marvin Collins noted that to add this specific area to the transition area would be consistent with the lot sizes in that area because most of the non-conforming lots are in that area. Bob Morgan requested that the acre-for-acre distribution be included in the public hearing so that public reaction may be received. Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit to adopt the resolution as stated below: A RESOLUTION REGARDING JOINT PLANNING, WATERSHED PROTECTION, ANNEXATION AND RELATED MATTERS
