113 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMIISSIONERS Action Agenda <br /> O <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Item No. Et() <br /> Meeting Date: FEBRUARY 19, 1985 <br /> SUBJECT: ORANGE/CHATHAM COUNTY LINE <br /> DEPARTMENT: MANAGER'S OFFICE PUBLIC HEARING: Yes 2g4o <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S <br /> OFFICE . <br /> YES <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER: x501 <br /> PURSE: TO consider an approach by which the two counties may agree to a <br /> description of the line dividing the two counties. <br /> NEED: Both counties have tax maps which depict the County line. <br /> However, there are lapses and gaps which create unclearness at <br /> several locations. This creates problems in tax administration, <br /> administration of the zoning and subdivision ordinances, and <br /> other activities (e.g. flood plane delineation, inspections, <br /> erosion control, participatory paving, etc.). <br /> Chatham County has requested that a joint project be undertaken • <br /> to establish a definitive line. Our staff proposal to Chatham <br /> is to accomplish this through five steps: <br /> 1. Mark the established boundary point of the <br /> Durham/Orange/Chatham County line; the corner connecting <br /> the three counties (Orange, Chatham, )\lamance) at the Haw <br /> River; and the bend in the line where 15-501 crosses the <br /> Orange/Chatham line; <br /> 2. Produce an orthophoto of the marked points; <br /> 3. Connect the marked points to establish ground control for <br /> where the line crosses known landmarks such as roads; <br /> 4. Seek agreement of the two boards of county commissioners <br /> • to a recommended line as determined from the orthophoto- <br /> graphy which depicts the line between the two corner <br /> points; <br /> 5. Produce and record a description of the line utilizing <br /> the State plane coordinate system; <br /> 6. Install permanent concrete markers. <br /> 11, <br />
