Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Clifton: <br />TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL <br />Town Manager's Office <br />405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 -5707 <br />phone (919) 968 -2743 fax (919) 969 -2063 <br />www.townofchapelhill.org <br />I am writing to relay the request of the Chapel Hill Town Council for Orange County to consider <br />the extension of the Town's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. <br />On June 24, 2013, the Chapel Hill Town - Council voted 7 -0 to initiate a process with the County to <br />extend the Town's extraterritorial jurisdiction to the area within the portion of the Historic <br />Rogers Road Neighborhood currently within Orange County's jurisdiction and Chapel Hill's Joint <br />Planning Transition Area. <br />The Chapel Hill Town Council has asked that, if possible, the process to consider extension of <br />extraterritorial jurisdiction be expedited and that this matter be calendared at the Council's <br />September 9 meeting for the Council to begin its required steps. As you are aware, the purpose <br />of extending the Town's ETJ is to facilitate the use of community development funding <br />available to the Town to assist with sewer and /or water service to property owners in this area <br />who qualify for such assistance. <br />The Town Council also asked that the Managers continue discussion of a possible Utility District <br />with our partners including local jurisdictions, OWASA, and the Chapel Hill Carrboro City <br />Schools. Further, the Council requested continued discussion with Self -Help and the Jackson <br />Center, too, in order to broaden the options we will be exposed to as we consider planning and <br />funding. <br />Please let me know when you would be available to discuss these matters. I would like to <br />arrange for the Town Attorney and Planning Director to join me for the discussion. <br />rWl <br />R L. Stancil <br />Town Manager <br />cc: Ralph Karpinos, Town Attorney <br />J.B. Culpepper, Planning Director <br />
