for connections to any water lines extended to a benefit area; and 2) that grants for water connections should be provided to homeowners in the benefit area in a manner consistent with the income eligibility requirements that are applicable to applicants for CDBG grants. - How does your governing board feel about these proposals? 2. What does your board think about which costs should be covered with public funds (e.g. main water lines) and which costs (e.g. acreage/facility fees, plumbing connections) if any, should be bome by private property owners? F. Benefit #11 - Activities Related to Planning Boundaries_ The Board of Commissioners sees any possible redefinition of the Carrboro and Chapel Hill transition areas as primarily a matter to be resolved by the two Town governing boards, although certainly it would need to be addressed in the context of the Joint Planning Area agreement. The Chair would be happy to assist the Towns in any way they see as helpful to the process. G. Benefit #12 - Post - Closure Use of the Landfill I. The Board of Commissioners does not believe that it is prudent to pursue construction of a recreation facility on a closed landfill. Alternative recreation options should be considered, including an examination of how the Northern Chapel Hill Park, in conjunction with a smaller neighborhood park closer to the residents near the landfill, might better serve the area's recreation facility needs. The Board of Commissioners believes it is premature to designate any portion of the Greene Tract for any specific purpose, until further determinations are made about future solid waste management facilities and processes. 2. In view of their interest in keeping options open regarding the future use of the Greene Tract, and in view of the conclusions of the February 4, 1998 report from Joyce Engineering (Attachment 12A), the Commissioners are interested in exploring the development of one or more of the following facilities on the Greene Tract: • construction 8t demolition landfill • mixed solid waste landfill • materials recovery facility • transfer station Does your board have an interest in considering one or more of these facilities for possible siting on the Greene Tract? If not, does your board have proposals for where these facilities could be located? H. Benefit 913 - Expansion of Landfill The Board of Commissioners is opposed to any determination, at this point in time, that would rule out land acquisitions for any possible solid waste management functions.
