5. How land is used is a major factor in many aspects of people's lives. Land Use directly <br /> affects people's quality of life in a variety of ways. Community character, traffic generation <br /> and flow, availability of services and the quality of the natural environment are all affected by <br /> Land Use decisions. Indeed, one of local govemment's principal powers is the authority to <br /> control land development so that growth is managed in such a way that negative impacts are <br /> minimized and mitigated. <br /> 6. Preserve stream corridors and create a nefinrork of publicly-accessible trails between <br /> developed areas and the Eno River State Park to the north of the focus area and Duke <br /> Forest to the south of the Focus Area. <br /> Last week residents were informed about an interlocal agreement with Durham that had been <br /> recently made. I can find no mention of this agreement anywhere on Orange County's website. This <br /> agreement and the process that led to it should be made public. It concems me that local residents <br /> weren't informed that an interlocal agreement was being negotiated with the City of Durham. <br /> Affected residents should have been informed and invited to be a part of the process. If the <br /> agreement does not include provisions for the City of Durham to abide by the recommendations and <br /> policies set forth in Shaping Orange County's future and the Eno Economic District small area plan <br /> this should be added to ensure that Durham's policies are aligned with Orange County's. <br /> Questions: <br /> 1. How will buffering and transitioning of existing and possible future, nonresidential <br /> development be accomplished to avoid impacts on existing and new residences? <br /> 2. What types of additional nonresidential land uses are to be considered for the area and how <br /> will their impact be mitigated? <br /> 3. What will be done to protect the environmental integrity of Duke Forest, and `Eno River State <br /> Park and Stoney Creek? <br /> Robin Jacobs spoke on behalf of the Eno River Association. She is the Executive Director. <br /> She served as the Chair of the Carrboro Planning Board for a little over ten years while the University <br /> Lake Watershed Agreements and the Joint Planning Agreement were issued. She distributed a <br /> handout. She pointed out a resource protection area that is along Stoney Creek. She said that the <br /> Stoney Creek Plan does talk about higher, middle, and lower intensity uses. The plan is totally <br /> focused on residential development and is not talking about higher intensity industrial uses. Her <br /> concem is that Stoney Creek will have more industrial use. She said that just because there are <br /> regulations, it does not mean that the County can control what happens. <br /> Jennifer Gunter verified that her father's letter was received and entered into the record. <br /> Jim Brown said that it was stated that there is currently no development proposed that is <br /> pushing these zoning changes and that this is all in the planning phase. It was answered yes. <br /> Jon Arvik asked about a sewage lift station. He has lived within ten miles of one of these at <br /> one time. He is concemed about this. He would like to know where this station is and he would like <br /> to have public input. He wants to know what it will look like, sound like, smell like, etc. He asked <br /> what authority Orange County would have to resist the annexation by Durham. He said that he <br /> moved here for a reason and he would like to maintain the qualiry of life. <br /> Craig Benedict said that Orange Counry would not be choosing a consultant for engineering <br /> design until later this summer. <br />
