October 28, 2014 <br />Ms. Bonnie Hammersly <br />Orange County Manager <br />200 South Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Attachment 2 <br />OFFICE OF MAYOR KLEINSCHMIDT <br />Town of Chapel Hill <br />405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />phone (919) 968 -2714 fax (919) 969 -2063 <br />www.townofchapelhiR.org <br />Subject: Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Boundary Ordinance <br />Dear Bonnie: <br />At the October 15, 2014 Council meeting, the Town of Chapel Hill Council voted unanimously <br />to enact an Ordinance extending the Town's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction boundary. The North <br />Carolina General Statute requires Orange County Commissioners to act on this request. I have <br />attached a copy of the adopted Ordinance for consideration at an upcoming County <br />Commissioners meeting. <br />The Town of Chapel Hill has taken this action in order to participate in its share of funding the <br />installation of sewer service to the Historic Rogers Road neighborhood. Extension of the <br />Extraterritorial Jurisdiction boundary in this area, in lieu of the existing Joint Planning Area, <br />would allow the Town to spend community development block grant funding for low and <br />moderate income households. The recently completed outreach efforts by the Jackson Center <br />have shown nearly 80 percent of the households fall below 80 percent of the area median income <br />and qualifying as a low and moderate income area. <br />If the Orange County Commissioners act favorably upon this request, the Town will record a <br />copy of the Ordinance with the Register of Deeds office and initiate steps required to enact <br />planning regulations for the area. <br />Attached are letters from the public regarding this action. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager at (919) 968 -2743 <br />Sincerely, <br />r <br />a Klein <br />Mayor 1 <br />9 <br />
