12 <br /> 1 Frank Clifton suggested that the Orange County Planning staff and the Towns' Planning <br /> 2 staffs get together and identify available building areas within the County and the towns, and <br /> 3 then check for the accuracy of the projections for population and employment. <br /> 4 Chair Pelissier said that one of the comments should be to ask for a review of the <br /> 5 population and employment projections in coordination with the towns. <br /> 6 Commissioner Gordon said that one of the comments should be to make the maps <br /> 7 clearer by using colors with more contrast. These are the maps on pages 113-124 as well as <br /> 8 maps on pages 19 and 130-135. <br /> 9 Commissioner Gordon made reference to attachment 4 on page 13 and said that she <br /> 10 thought the "Southern Carrboro" area was north of Damascus Church Road and not south. <br /> 11 She asked to flag this. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Commissioner Gordon made suggestions concerning comments to be submitted to the <br /> 14 MPO. She referred to attachment 2 on page 11 and attachment 3 on page 12, which were <br /> 15 attachments showing possible comments. She suggested using the OUTBoard comments <br /> 16 given on page 12, and adding "environmental benefits"to the fifth bullet of the OUTBoard list. <br /> 17 The next bullet would be Chair Pelissier's suggestion to ask about the population and <br /> 18 employment estimates in collaboration with the towns. The last bullet would be the one about <br /> 19 clearer maps, as stated above. <br /> 20 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br /> 21 modify Attachment 2 on page 11 to add the verb"promote"to one of the statements of the <br /> 22 resolution; and that the bullet points should be the ones from the OUTBoard shown on page 12, <br /> 23 as amended to add the words "environmental benefits"; and with the additional bullets <br /> 24 suggested above. <br /> 25 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 26 <br /> 27 The approved motion is as follows: <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Resolution#2012-087 <br /> 30 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> 31 <br /> 32 A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO <br /> 33 METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY <br /> 34 COMMITTEE REGARDING THE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS OF THE <br /> 35 2040 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND COMPREHENSIVE <br /> 36 TRANSPORTATION PLAN <br /> 37 <br /> 38 WHEREAS, Orange County has participated in regional transportation planning as a member of <br /> 39 the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); and <br /> 40 <br /> 41 WHEREAS, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Transportation Advisory Committee has released <br /> 42 the Alternatives Analysis of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Comprehensive <br /> 43 Transportation Plan (CTP) for public comment; and <br /> 44 <br /> 45 WHEREAS, Orange County seeks ample opportunities to review and comment on regional <br /> 46 transportation plans and policies; and <br /> 47 <br /> 48 WHEREAS, the Orange Unified Transportation Board has submitted comments regarding the <br /> 49 Alternatives Analysis for the CTP and 2040 MTP; <br /> 50 <br />
