Attachment 3 15 Town of s gh lnw 1 '04, MEMORANDUM To: Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, Planner III From: Margaret A. Hauth, Planning Director Date: October 17, 2013 RE: Proposed line shift in pending ETJ swap The attached map is part of the Interlocal Agreement adopted by the Town and County in 2009 to establish a framework for coordinated planning between the two jurisdictions. Part of the coordination is an exchange of some ETJ areas —the town relinquishing some back to Orange County and the county delegating some new areas to the town. The attached map also has an added red circle which highlights an area when I think a minor modification is advisable. The map inadvertently divides an existing, developed subdivision and places some of the lots in the expanded ETJ and some of the lots in the Hillsborough Urbanizing Area. The Stagecoach Run subdivision is a well-established neighborhood with private streets, an active homeowners association, and very little redevelopment potential. The impact to the homeowners is nearly non-existent as the Hillsborough Urbanizing Area will function like ETJ when this process is complete. However, it does seem odd to divide a subdivision. Further, if the Interlocal Agreement was ever ended, half of the subdivision would remain Hillsborough ETJ and the other portion would revert to Orange County. The Town would like to have this line adjusted so the entirety of Stagecoach Run in is the Hillsborough Urbanizing Area, not the expanded ETJ. It is my recommendation that we proceed with ETJ swap process, leaving Stagecoach Run out, and then, if required, a modification of the Interlocal Agreement map at a later date. 101 East Orange Street • P.
