1 b) 1-40/Old 86 Economic Development District Area Plans and Timing of Possible 2 Utilities Expansion 3 COUNTY Staff: Craig Benedict; TOWN Staff: Margaret Hauth 4 Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning and Engineering Director, reviewed the 5 following information: 6 7 The Town's Future Land Use Plan envisions the undeveloped property near the interchange to 8 be developed with public utilities and predominately non-residential (see Attachment 1-b — 9 Hillsborough Future Land Use Plan Map). 10 11 Orange County (OC) has included in its current year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) water and 12 sewer utility improvements in the northwest and southwest quadrant of Old NC 86 and 1-40. 13 This area includes over 200 acres and is designated suburban office and mixed use on the 14 OC/Town of Hillsborough (TOH)joint land use plan and economic development land use on the 15 County plan. This area is not within TOH Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Since Article 46 16 economic development monies are being used, future projects should be non-residential and 17 tax-base/job building. OC and TOH engineering staff have discussed conceptual alignments 18 and capacity needs. 19 20 As a prerequisite to this project, OC and TOH would enter into a utility service agreement that 21 sets forth the conditions and responsibilities of the jurisdictions. OC has similar agreements 22 with Mebane and Durham. 23 24 The project scope will be to bring a 12" gravity sewer under the interstate from the northwest to 25 southwest quadrant with a `trunk' line that could provide service to the majority of the southern 26 interchange area. Joint party review design would start this spring with construction possibly 27 later in the year depending on interstate crossing permits and easement acquisition. 28 Management and planning/engineering staff will work together to craft an agreement and 29 process through the boards. 30 31 Margaret Hauth said the map is a snapshot of the Town's land use map and is 32 consistent with the interlocal agreements with the County. 33 Commissioner Pelissier referred to the far southeast quadrant, noting it is currently 34 designated residential development, and asked if Hillsborough would pay for the extension of 35 water to this area, as the County cannot use Article 46 funds for extension of residential water 36 lines. 37 Margaret Hauth said the designation of this area is up for discussion, but noted it does 38 have limited access. 39 Craig Benedict said the land use plan will be reviewed, and amended as necessary, to 40 make sure that it is meeting the most viable target for this intersection. 41 Eric Peterson said the developer would be responsible for bringing water and sewer to a 42 new development in the area mentioned by Commissioner Pelissier. He said there is a Town of 43 Hillsborough water main running down Old 86. 44 45 c) Downtown Redevelopment (Future Uses of Town and County Property, including 46 County Jail and Colonial Inn) 47 COUNTY Staff: Jeff Thompson; TOWN Staff: Margaret Hauth 48 Margaret Hauth opened the floor for questions. 49 Commissioner Dorosin asked if there is an update on the Colonial Inn.
