Resolution of the Board of Caunty Commissioners Regarding Courtesy Review of <br />Hillsborough Project Known as Villages at Meadowview <br />The Board considered a resolution regarding transportation issues related to the Villages at <br />Meadowview. <br />Planning Director Craig Benedict said that this is a resolution that the Board of County <br />Commissioners could send to the Town of Hillsborough regarding the courtesy review agreement for The <br />Villages at Meadowview. This is on Orange Grove and Eno Mountain Roads. There are approximately 270 <br />units of condos and apartments for a retirement community. The most important issue is the alignment of <br />Eno Mountain Road and Mayo Street. This development is adjacent to this area and would provide the <br />opportunity for dedication of road right-of-way that could accommodate a portion of this realignment in the <br />future. <br />Chair Brown acknowledged the work by Commissioner Halkiotis and Commissioner Jacobs on <br />Orange Grove Road and trying to make it safer. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked Craig Benedict if the Town was aware that DOT was planning to <br />widen Orange Grave Road. Craig Benedict said that Hillsborough Planning Director Margaret Hauth was <br />aware of the N. C. Moving Ahead projects, which included the widening of Orange Grove Road. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked what could be done to make sure that they add sidewalks. Chair <br />Brown said that this is why she is asking to write a letter to the Town, bulleting the things that need <br />attention. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested putting this an the agenda on October 30th for the joint meeting <br />with the Town of Hillsborough. He made an addition as follows: "Now, Therefore be it resolved by the <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners that the Town of Hillsborough should require the developers of <br />The Villages at Meadowview, or any future large scale development of the site in question, to dedicate <br />right-of-way and provide funds....." <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve <br />and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as stated below, with the addition as stated by Commissioner <br />Jacobs. Also, a letter will be sent that will specifically lay out the concerns, particularly sidewalks. <br />Geof Gledhill said that the way the resolution is written, it may suggest the County <br />Commissioners' support of the project. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said to add, "if the Tawn of Hillsborough approves" and change the title to <br />"A resolution to require developers of The Villages at Meadowview or any other developers of that parcel to <br />dedicate right-of-way". <br />A RESOLUTION TO REQUIRE DEVELOPERS OF THE VILLAGES AT MEADOWVIEW OR ANY <br />DEVELOPERS OF THAT PARCEL, TO DEDICATE <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY AND PROVIDE FUNDS FOR A PORTION OF THE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION OF THE <br />REALIGNMENT OF ENO MOUNTAIN ROAD SO THAT IT ALIGNS WITH MAYO STREET AT THEIR <br />INTERSECTION WITH ORANGE GROVE ROAD <br />
