BACKGROUND: The Planning and Inspections Department would like to assemble a citizens committee to work with Staff to develop a Corridor Study for the Efland/Mebane area. This will also be an .update incorporating the Efland Area Study (EAS) that was originally adopted by Orange County in 1991. The objective is for Staff to work with the committee in a thorough manner regarding the many questions noted later in this abstract. Recommendations can evaluate goals of the Land Use Element Update and/or be independently implemented in a proper timeframe. The Efland/Mebane Con-idor Study will be a work product with substantial work completed by the end of 2004. Staff has already begun compiling data and maps that will be used by the committee to develop the Study. Planning Board members Brian Dobyns (Cheeks Township representative) and Noah Ranells (alternate, Bingham Township at-large member) have offered to participate on the committee. BOCC members have expressed interest in participating in the process, too. Staff is also proposing that the City of Mebane's City Manager be contacted for the City's support through his participation as well as the appointment of another member of their staff to attend committee meetings. 1 Citizen 2 Citizen 3 Citizen 4 Citizen 5 Citizen 6 Citizen
