2. <br />collected, incorporated and distributed to Town of Hillsborough by staff. <br />If the BOCC wishes to have the Hillsborough project presented by staff at a regular meeting or <br />work session, then this likely would require: <br />1. A request from the Chair to the Mayor for more time, and <br />2. Discussion with the County Manager and Chair to choreograph an appropriate meeting date. <br />In accordance with Section 2. 1, either jurisdiction may request a joint meeting of the elected <br />boards to discuss a development proposal subject to courtesy review. The request shall be <br />made in writing by the reviewing jurisdiction when comments are submitted or in writing by the <br />approving jurisdiction upon receipt of comments. When either party requests a joint meeting, <br />the approving jurisdiction agrees to delay its approval process and /or commitment for utilities for <br />the project in question in order to accommodate the joint meeting. If such a meeting is <br />scheduled, the developer will provide five (5) additional copies of the development proposal <br />application. <br />MAY 5, 2003 JOINT MEETING: The primary discussion of the courtesy review agreement <br />related to the utility service provision process in the Orange County planning jurisdiction. The <br />attached chart shows the process whereby the Planning Board reviews the proposal at the <br />Concept Subdivision Stage prior to Hillsborough being formally notified for utility commitment. A <br />joint meeting could be requested at that time. <br />The timeframe of a five-day 'turnaround' for comments can be difficult in some cases, so an <br />increased timeframe may be warranted for certain projects. This issue was discussed at the <br />meeting. Hillsborough is considering expanding the application and review period. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is possible personnel resource impact as an existing planner <br />would add to their responsibilities and be assigned to react to proposals in relatively short time <br />frames and attend meetings to understand the proposal and offer comment. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board APPROVE the <br />revised Courtesy Review Agreement and checklist. <br />
