S. M. Gatti s <br /> orange County Manager <br /> Orange County Courthouse <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Re: orange County - Alamance County Boundary <br /> Dear San: <br /> Pursuant to our conversation of January 6 , 1978, <br /> `----_ T have checked the statutory requirements f6r settling <br /> uncertain boundaries between counties. The governing <br /> statute is G. S. §153-A-18. it pre.sckibes in subsection <br /> A, a procedure to be followed to establish the boundary. <br /> That procedure involved a survey and a marked and mapped <br /> plat all to be done iinder the supervision of appointed <br /> commissioners. The special commissioner aspect of this <br /> procedure is optional. Presumably if the two boards <br /> can agree on where the lane is located, only a survey and <br /> plat would be required. <br /> The completed survey will then be ratified by the <br /> boards of each county and a snap showing the surveyed <br /> boundary would then be recorded in the office of ' the <br /> Register of Deeds of each county. The map would 'contain <br /> a reference to the date of the resolution of ' each board <br /> ratifying it and a reference to the page in the minutes <br /> of each board where the resolution may be found. After <br /> recordation, the map is conclusive as to the location of <br /> the boundary. <br /> I can find nothing which would indicate that public <br /> hearings are required. The decision to conduct public <br /> hearings would be one of a political nature. <br /> Very truly yours , <br /> WTNSTON, COLEMAN and BERNHOLZ <br /> Geof i y: .
