In the second paragraph, it lists the planning <br />jurisdictions. He said that this would be an appropriate place to mention the rural buffer, which is <br />a distinctive land use arrangement. Also, on pages D4 and D5 with the maps of North Carolina, <br />he suggested putting an arrow on Orange County. <br />Tom Altieri recognized Karen Markovics, Planner II, who was instrumental in the <br />preparation of the County Profile Element. <br />Michelle Kempinski asked about the adoption sequence. Tom Altieri said that the staff <br />would not be asking the Board of County Commissioners to formally adopt the profile element and <br />draft goals during phase I, but only to recognize them as generally acceptable to guide the <br />completion of the remainder of the plan. He said that if the Board of County Commissioners <br />formally adopted these iwo documents during phase I, it would further fragment the <br />comprehensive plan. Also, during the preparation of the plan, there could be some minor <br />adjustments to the goals if determined necessary by the advisory boards or County <br />Commissioners. <br />
