DRAFT Judith Wegner: I think there hasn't been adequate chance for the public to if they are affected. I would like to suggest that we consider the Board of County Commissioners for another public hearing on this so we won't have a backlog for sufficient public opportunity to speak out. We need to find a way to articulate what the significance of Phase I decision is. Michelle Kempinski: Regarding the black line on the map, does that represent the existing water and sewer management planning boundary agreement? The green is considered the watershed and rural buffer area; will that be changing to watershed and coordinated planning area? Craig Benedict: There is an existing Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) rural buffer to the south. We could suggest that you subdivide the area to the south as existing rural buffer and identify the other sides as watershed and rural areas. Renee Price: Is the consultant being used differently now? Craig Benedict: The consultant monies were for Phase I so we would look for the same consultant for the implementation. The process before this was a staff supported elected official and appointed citizen task force known as the Town of Hillsborough Orange County Urban Area Transition Task force which compiled 10 Principals of Agreement as a basis more implementation work. Phase I is a conceptional area of agreement as noted in the agreement. Renee Price: Will it be the same consultant? Craig Benedict: Yes, likely. Renee Price: The orange area, is Hillsborough thinking of annexing the entire orange area? Craig Benedict: Not at this time, but there will be an opportunity to annex that area in the future. Renee Price: (to Jay Bryan) how do the people of Carrboro feel about this?[ie Annexation Agreement] Jay Bryan: Not a good situation. Brian Dobyns: My concerns begin on October 260' and go to November 20". SGP maps are the same on the cover and planning area. That is the water/sewer boundary agreement maps. At this meeting, the committee asked for an additional map is prepared showing additional lands around Hillsborough as part of the area to be reviewed. The public advertisement that was issued on November 2, under purpose, it refers to future actions. The planning department added the area in red after that. It was made available on November 140'. If you reviewed it online it would be very confusing because it goes back and forth between two different boundaries. On page 12 you see the original map. On pages 16, 17 and 18, you see the new map. Later in the report it changes back. At the Public Hearing, we distributed one map which shows the original area in red and the larger area in red. Phase I was introduced at the Public Hearing. The way the information was presented, the public would not be able made sense of it and commented it. I would like to take back my approval for this plan. As I look at the resolution, if you read it, it accepts the November plan as policy guidelines. The process failed the citizens and I would like to make a recommendation to hold an additional public hearing or take back our approval of that plan. Craufurd Goodwin: It seems the two portions in red were included but there was no proposal to change the circumstances or zoning of the individuals in that area. as 2
