I Tom Altieri said this public hearing is for the County's endorsement of what the Town 2 has already adopted. He said once this is accomplished staff will be able to proceed with 3 bringing forward a process on how swaps will occur and what the land uses will be. He said 4 these areas will most likely be agricultural /residential. 5 Commissioner Price said this is a plan. She said things have changed already and 6 annexation laws have changed. She said there are areas that could or may not be annexed, 7 and these are all future possibilities. 8 Commissioner Dorosin referred to the map on page 13 and asked about the urban 9 services boundaries. 10 Tom Altieri said this is the map that is part of the inter -local agreement that has already 11 been adopted, and the magenta line defines the urban service areas of the town. 12 Commissioner Dorosin stated that the map on page 14 is just a snapshot. He clarified 13 that this is not permanent. 14 Tom Altieri agreed and said this map expresses a vision. 15 Chair Jacobs requested a list of both immediate and future steps contemplated to make 16 the maps and land use visions of the town and County coincide. He said this would address 17 Commissioner Gordon's concerns. 18 19 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to: 20 21 1. Refer the Plan to the Planning Board requesting it return its recommendation for the 22 November 5, 2013 BOCC meeting; and 23 2. Direct Staff to provide a list of both immediate and future steps contemplated in order to 24 make the maps and land use visions of the town and County coincide. 25 3. Adjourn the hearing until November 5, 2013 to receive and accept Planning Board's 26 recommendation. 27 28 Chair Jacobs said it took a long time to get Hillsborough to the table to talk about joint 29 planning. He said former elected officials had an overblown idea of how Hillsborough was going 30 to grow. He said this was a breakthrough to sit down and discuss a joint plan. 31 He said some of the intended but not articulated consequences of the plan are that it 32 recognizes the rural buffer to the south of Hillsborough. It also de -facto creates rural buffers to 33 the west of Hillsborough in the upper Eno and to the east, separating Durham from 34 Hillsborough. 35 He said this includes an Orange Grove access management plan that would have been 36 very informative for people in the Eno River EDD. 37 He said this is the kind of plan that the County eventually needs to have with Mebane. 38 39 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 40 41 42 Barry Jacobs, Chair 43 44 David Hunt, Deputy Clerk 19
