4. The Task Force recommends that water and sewer mains be extended to provide public service to all of the Task Force recommended Community Enhancement Area (map attached), including Ms. Nunn's property. The Task for also recommends that Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro provide public water and sewer in the Community Enhancement Area where water and sewer service are to be extended in paying the costs of connecting to water and sewer. This assistance can take the form of Community Development Block Grants, other grants, or local funds where allowed by state law. Costs for all residents should be eliminated or minimized to the extent possible. Chapel Hill, Orange County, Carrboro, and OWASA Institute a moratorium on property taxes. Pay for/subsidize future taxes for the residents in the community enhancement area for as long as any solid waste facilities remain in their community. Pay impact stipend to property owners whose land is adjacent to the landfills. Be vigilant about not allowing residents to lose their homes and/or property because of their inability to pay taxes; advocate for residents who become at risk of losing their homes and/or land due to inability to pay property taxes. Return property taxes paid from the time of the opening of the landfills. (This would include Millhouse Road residents.) Orange County 6. Build park and other recreation facilities within the Rogers Road Community Enhancement Area such as basketball and park type equipment: jungle gym, swings, picnic tables, benches. The Parks and Recreation Department should maintain these facilities. Children within the Enhancement Area should be provided summer youth employment opportunities. Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County 7. Add NCDOT traffic calming bumps on Rogers Road and decrease speed limit to 25 mph. The Task Force recommends that Orange County erect "Children Playing" and "School Bus Stop" signs on Rogers Road. Residents of the Community Enhancement Area will identify appropriate locations for these signs. Chapel Hill Orange County, Carrboro, and DOT 8. Add sidewalks to both sides Rogers Road from Homestead Road to Eubanks Road. Chapel Hill and Carrboro 9. Widen Eubanks Road and add shoulders and turn lanes at landfill facilities. These areas are extremely unsafe and congested-especially in the mornings. Given the garbage and UPS trucks and city buses, Eubanks Road is too narrow to be safe. Chapel Hill Orange County, Carrboro and DOT 10. Bring the bus service down Rogers Road at least three times (morning, noon and evening). The Task Force also recommends that Chapel Hill Transit re-route the North-South connector bus 2
