4 • Streets,roads,and utility easements located outside of lot boundaries; and/or • Lots or tracts used and/or site specific development plans (site plans or preliminary subdivision plans) are approved for permitted commercial, industrial, institutional or governmental purposes. 2. Limit public water and sewer service to the north side of 1-40 for a two-year period during which county-wide issues such as those relating to open space, rural character, and farmland preservation are resolved. In two years, the issue of water and sewer south of I-40 would be reconsidered.In the interim, allow alternative wastewater disposal systems. This option responds to the concerns addressed in#1 above by allowing time to develop strategies for preserving the rural character of Orange County. Once such strategies are in place, there would be greater assurance to the public that the existing character of the county could be maintained if water and sewer were extended. 3. Allow development to extend public water and sewer within the entirety of the EDD, including the area south of I-40. This option recognizes the ridgeline of the Cates Creek drainage basin as the maximum extent of water and sewer service from the Town of Hillsborough. It also recognizes the fact that regardless of which action is taken by the Board of Commissioners at this time,there remain circumstances under which property within the drainage basin could be annexed by the Town of Hillsborough (see #4 below). 4. The Work Group acknowledged the possibility that, under certain circumstances, any property within the EDD,including the area on the south side of 1.40 could be annexed by the Town of Hillsborough. The likelihood of annexation occurring could be great if a developer proposed to extend water and sewer mains to serve the project. In that case, the property owner could request voluntary annexation, and the Hillsborough Town Board could approve the annexation. The Work Group recommended that both Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough adopt the Economic Development District Design Manual,including the Table of Permitted Uses.The permitted uses and development standards would then be adhered to by the County, and also by the Town of Hillsborough, in the case of annexation, based on a joint interlocal agreement, Public Hearing Comment At the November 30, 1994 public hearing, a number of comments were made by interested citizens and property owners. The comments are provided, immediately following this abstract. Correspondence received at or prior to the public hearing is also provided.
