P,-t <br /> understand this position. Such a request would change the character of this <br /> matter from a planning issue to a political issue. To suggest that it should <br /> pose no problem because it could be withdrawn at any time is unrealistic from <br /> the County's point of view. We would feel a need to activate our opposition <br /> immediately. <br /> The County re-emphasizes its desire to cooperate with Chapel Hill in <br /> jointly planning these areas. Our delegates to the new sub-committee have <br /> reiterated this desire and have offered specific suggestions for getting it <br /> underway. A request to the General Assembly would indicate the Town's desire <br /> to move in a different direction and could seriously endanger such joint planning <br /> efforts. It could also impede progress in the Southern By-Pass issue with those <br /> residents who would be dually affected. And it would certainly tend to increase <br /> the urban-rural tensions across our County. <br /> The Board of Commissioners recognizes the prerogative of the Town Council <br /> to choose such a course, and states its position clearly at this time in an <br /> effort to communicate the seriousness of this matter and to avoid misunderstanding. <br /> We also address this statement to the citizens of Orange County in response to the <br /> many concerns which have been expressed to us. <br /> Unanimously adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners this the <br /> 15th day of February, 1979, <br /> This is to certify that the above is a <br /> true and correct copy of so much of the <br /> minutes of the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioner§' meeting on February 15, 1979. <br /> By: t ��� IrLLJ tyL3�L4.0 rl_4 <br /> Clerk to a Orange County Boa d <br /> of Commissioners <br /> -3- <br />
