F� APPENDIX 2 AGENDA #1 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Town Council FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager SUBJECT: Work Session on the Northwest Small Area Plan DATE: August 30, 1995 On June 26, 1995, the Town Council scheduled this work session on the Recommended Northwest Small Area Plan. Overview We have attached a copy of the Council's June 26, 1995 memorandum that includes comments from the March 1 public hearing on the Northwest Area Plan as well as advisory board comments, letters from citizens, and letters from the Town of Carrboro and Orange County. We have also attached additional information received since June 26, 1995. The Town of Carrboro and Orange County have been invited to send representatives to this work session. In addition, we have invited the members of the Northwest Small Area Plan Work Group to attend this work session. The next step in this process, following Council review of this plan, is to request that the plan be considered at a Joint Planning Area Public Hearing. Background On January 25, 1993, the Council initiated a small area planning process for the Northwest Area of Chapel Hill. The Northwest Small Area Plan Work Group met monthly from May 18, 1993 until December 20, 1994. During the Work Group's planning process, the Group held three neighborhood meetings to receive public comment on September 21, 1993, February 22, 1994, and on October 6, 1994. The Work Group also coordinated with the Town of Carrboro's Small Area Plan Work Group. The Carrboro Work Group continues to plan for Carrboro's northern planning jurisdiction, an area that is adjacent to the western border of Chapel Hill's Northwest Area. The two Small Area Plan Work Groups held joint meetings in January and October of 1994. On December 20, 1994, the Work Group unanimously recommended the attached Northwest Small Area Plan to the Council as a proposed addition to the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
