Eno Small Area Plan: An appointed citizen Task Force has been working with <br />Orange County Staff to develop a Small Area Plan for the Eno EDD (Economic <br />Development District) Area since June 2006.

This planning effort began in late 2005 and <br />the task force is made up of eight citizens, a City of Durham representative, and a BOCC liaison <br />(Commissioner Foushee). The small area plan boundary is in the eastern portion of the County <br />around I-85 and US 70. The focus area boundary was designated as the Eno Economic <br />Development District and the commercial node that exists off of that district. The reserve area <br />(red outline) was added late last year for future utility planning purposes only. There are not any <br />recommendations made for this area other than for future water and sewer purposes. Most of <br />the area is within the Orange County primary service area of the Water and Sewer Management <br />Planning Boundary Agreement. <br />The small area plan contains four sections and two appendices. The current major <br />issues are on pages 48-58. The synopsis of recommendations is in the Executive Summary. <br />The task force spent the most time talking about water and sewer issues and land use and <br />zoning issues. She said that the implementation measures that would implement the small area <br />plan would be brought forth after adoption of the plan. <br />Water and Sewer: <br />
