<br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: September 9, 2004 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Efland/Mebane Corridor Study Task Force <br />DEPARTMENT: Board of Commissioners PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig Benedict, ext. 2592 <br />Tom Altieri, ext. 2579 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 245-2130 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider approving formation of the Efland/Mebane Corridor Study Task Force. <br />BACKGROUND: The Planning and Inspections Department would like to assemble a citizens <br />committee to work with Staff to develop a Corridor Study for the Efland/Mebane area. This will <br />also be an update incorporating the Efland Area Study (EAS) that was originally adopted by <br />Orange County in 1991. <br />The objective is for Staff to work with the committee fairly quickly so that any appropriate <br />recommendations can be incorporated into the Land Use Element Update. Ideally, the <br />Efland/Mebane Corridor Study will be substantially completed by the end of 2004. Staff has <br />already begun compiling data and maps that will be used by the committee to develop the <br />Study. <br />Planning Board members Brian Dobyns (Cheeks Township representative) and Noah Ranells <br />(alternate, Bingham Township at-large member) have offered to participate on the committee. <br />BOCC members have expressed interest in participating in the process, too. Staff is also <br />proposing that the City of Mebane's City Manager be contacted for the City's support through <br />his participation as well as the appointment of another member of their staff to attend <br />committee meetings. <br />1 Citizen <br />2 Citizen <br />3 Citizen <br />4 Citizen <br />5 Citizen <br />6 Citizen <br />
