• • MEMORANDUM To: Chapel Hill Planning Board From: Roger Weldon, Planning Director Subject: Chandler's Green - Application for Subdivision Approval (SD-25-O-11) Date: June 4, 1985 This memorandum provides description and analysis of an application for approval of a major subdivision proposed on Weaver Dairy Road and Sunrise Drive (SR 1732). Attached are the applicant's project fact sheet, state- ment of justification, transportation impact statement, vicinity map and preliminary plat. The owner of the property is Allenton Realtors of Durham, N. C. Background on Joint Planning The proposed subdivision straddles the line between Chapel Hill's extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and Orange County's jurisdiction, with the majority of the acreage lying in the County's jurisdiction. The Town may approve or disapprove the section within its ETJ, with a courtesy review by the County. The County may act on the portion in its jurisdiction, with courtesy review by the Town. The portion of the proposal in Orange County's jurisdiction lies within the Joint Planning Area. In 1984 the Town Council and Board of County Commis- sioners adopted the Joint Planning agreement which set up procedures for review and approval by both jurisdictions of development proposals in the area surrounding Chapel Hill's extraterritorial jurisdiction. The intent is for both jurisdictions to agree on a land use plan for the area and for the County to then adopt the appropriate zoning in the area. The County zoning and development standards would be identical to those of Chapel Hill. We are now in an interim period during which the staff of both jurisdictions are working together to produce a land use plan proposal. On June 11 there will be a Joint Public Hearing to allow both the Board of. Commissioners and the Town Council to consider this proposal. Recommenda- tions from the Chapel Hill Planning Board will be heard at that time as well as preliminary recommendations from both the Town and County Managers. The County Planning Board will participate in the hearing and make its recommendation to the County Commissioners at a later date. The Town Council will consider evidence heard at the Public Hearing and make its recommendation at its meeting of June 24. Because of the spirit of Joint Planning and because two separate reviews of parts of a single subdivision is not logical, we will discuss the proposal as an integral whole.
