No Attachments 4) Greene Tract Update Staff will provide an update on the disposition of the Greene Tract and discuss matters related to implementing a concept plan and consequently reimbursing the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The work of the Rogers Road Small Area Plan Task Force in the Chapel Hill planning and land use jurisdiction has prompted increased attention to the disposition of the Greene Tract. Several meetings of elected representatives and staff from Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro have been held since the fall in preparation for moving forward with proposed conservation easements and a repayment schedule targeted for next fiscal year. A recent opinion from the County Attorney raises the need for the three jurisdictions to discuss their mutual needs and expectations for the jointly held and County-held acreage, and the financial ramifications, in respect to the language and intent of the Inter Local Agreement. The Boards are asked to provide guidance and feedback to County and Town management on possible conservation easements and reimbursement shares for the Greene Tract relative to the Inter Local Agreement. Attachment 4 - 3/24/08 Memorandum to County Manager- Greene Tract Update 5) Update on the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) of Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), at ,its meeting on March 12, received a presentation of the Deficiency Analysis and Needs Assessment (DANA) for the update of the 2035 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan. Several Orange County TAC members requested that the presentation be given to the Assembly of Governments, with respect to implications regarding land use planning. The purpose of the DANA is to identify future transportation deficiencies and needs. The Triangle Regional Model (TRM) identifies deficiencies by loading the 2035 population and employment forecast onto the current network of highways, transit services and other transportation facilities. After identifying deficiencies, the MPO will evaluate several transportation Alternatives (i.e., a set of highway, transit and other transportation projects) over the next few months to address those deficiencies. At that time, the next step will be to select Preferred Alternatives for the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP).
