Proposed Community Benefits - Status Report <br />#11 Activities Related to Planning Boundaries <br />The Landfill Owners Group will work with the Orange County, Chapel Hill and <br />Carrboro planning departments to sponsor a public information meeting <br />regarding the planning boundary (future annexation boundary) between Chapel <br />Hill and Carrboro. A "ballot" should be prepared identifying at least three <br />options: <br />1. Leave the planning boundary as it is, along Rogers Road; <br />2. Move the planning boundary east, placing the entire Rogers Road <br />neighborhood in Carrboro's future annexation area; <br />3. Move the planning boundary west, placing the entire Rogers Road <br />neighborhood in Chapel Hill's future annexation area. . <br />(See the attached map showing the possible changes to the planning boundary) <br />Additional options may be identified and added to the ballot. All households in <br />the area which may potentially be shifted shall be given the opportunity to submit <br />one ballot selecting their preferred option. <br />The Working Group recommends that after the ballots have been tallied, the <br />local governments take the necessary action to adopt the option favored by a <br />majority of local residents within one year. If no single action is favored by a <br />clear majority, the Working Group recommends that no action be taken. <br />Carrboro <br />motion approved at October 14, 1997 meeting of Carrboro Board of Aldermen <br />Chapel Hill <br />• oral briefing regarding all proposed benefits presented by Solid Waste staff at <br />January 12, 1998 Council meeting <br />Orange County <br />• background information presented at BOCC meeting of January 20, 1998 <br />13 2/6/98 <br />
