VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 2 . HOMESTEAD HIGHLANDS - CONTINUATION Planner Susan Smith presented for receipt of input from the Towns on urban services and annexation policies within the Joint Planning area the request from Piedmont Atlantic Inc. for a general rezoning of property located north of Homestead Road and 400 feet west of the intersection of Homestead Road and Rogers Road in Chapel Hill Township. Planning Director Marvin Collins identified and reported on the two issues that were discussed at the February 24 meeting" (1) How Chapel Hill and Carrboro would deal with the annexation implications associated with the tract and (2) how service agencies such as volunteer fire departments would be affected by annexation of development. With regard to annexation both jurisdictions have indicated it would be highly desirable to adopt a mutual growth boundary beyond which neither jurisdiction would annex. Both have indicated, however, that adoption of such a boundary would require staff analysis first, then governing board review and action. With regard to service implications, the general statutes provide a basis for mitigating the net loss to a fire district if annexation is by municipal action. If annexation occurs as a result of satellite annexation by petition of the owner, the only easing of the tax situation could be accomplished through prorating of taxes or through the municipality setting the effective date of annexation such that taxing by a fire district and a municipality would not overlap. In conclusion, Marvin Collins stated that at this time nothing can be done to address these two problems. This is a rezoning request and the annexation issue needs to be resolved by Chapel Hill and Carrboro to avoid questions in the future. Chair Willhoit indicated the two issues need to be resolved prior to the time development requests are received. WITH NO FURTHER COMMENTS THE HEARING WAS DECLARED CLOSED. Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner Carey to refer this rezoning request for Homestead Highlands to the Planning Board for further consideration and recommendation.
