going to allow horseback riding. David Stancil said that is correct. The only outstanding issue is haw much room we will provide for parking horse trailers. Everything else has been resolved. The camping will be resolved when they have a meeting with Durham County officials. David Stancil said that another outstanding issue is the caretaker. Chair Jacobs asked if this would come back before the County Commissioners adjourn in June and David Stancil said that they would bring back a concept plan before the summer break but the interlocal agreement would not come to the Board until after the summer break. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to award the proposal and approve and authorize the Chair to sign the contract for Haden-Stanziale, P.A. in an amount not to exceed $27,120, plus reimbursable expenses as they may occur. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 3. EflandlBuckhorn EDDICheeks Small Area Planning Study The Board heard a report from Planning Director Craig Benedict on the EflandlBuckhorn EDD/Cheeks small area planning area issues including a process to complete the 1997 bond aspects of public sewer commitment in the Efland area. Craig Benedict listed the planning initiatives in the EflandlBuckhorn EDDICheeks area as included in the agenda materials. The Planning staff will be evaluating issues regarding the Efland sewer operation. The rules were originally adopted in the mid 1980's with several amendments thereafter. Conditions may have changed which may warrant further amendments and policy considerations. The agenda listed five staff recommendations. For the purpose of Board discussion, these recommendations are listed below with the colors indicating areas on a map used far illustration: :• Determine Urban Service Line in and around Phases 1A (red, existing}, 1 B (peach}, 2 (yellow), 3 (green}, and 4 (blue} • Bid final design of 1997 Bond Area with urban service area noted above in mind for potential future expansion • Examine Urban Service Line in Buckhorn EDDICheeks area :• Continue more formal discussions with City of Mebane in Study Map areas 1, 2, 3 • Consider changes to land use designation in all study areas as part of Comprehensive Plan to be consistent with Village Growth Boundary Craig Benedict made reference to a map showing the potential phases to the Efland Sewer line. He noted that there is not a sewer system plan for the EDD area. He made reference to page 12 in the agenda and listed the six goals for this study. County Engineer Paul Thames talked about what services we have in this area now as far as the sewer system and what we plan to do in the next phase. He made reference to a map and indicated the areas far which the 1997 bonds were intended. He noted that in general you have seven years to sell the bonds without asking for an extension. This period will run out in 2004. If we start now with developing a plan, it would take at least 24 months. That is an issue we need to be thinking about in terms of development of this sewer line. We have $3 million in bond money and other monies set aside in the budget far planning this project. He suggested we use some of this money to formulate a plan to finish out the project. The County has a contract with the Town of Hillsborough to treat 330 gallons of waste per day. When Richmond Hills comes on line, we will be treating 50 gallons of waste per day. Even with phase I and II, the total amount of water being treated would still only be 100 gallons of waste per day, so there is plenty of space in serving whatever area it is determined should be served.
