Margaret Lane • <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 . <br /> Dear Chairman Willhoit.: <br /> With reference to the County public hearing on August 26th, on behalf of <br /> the Hillsborough Town Board, I would like to reaffirm the willingness of the <br /> Town to provide water and sewer service to the proposed Weng, Scholar, Scnttswood, <br /> and Cornwallis Hills developments, as expressed by the Board at its August 12th <br /> meeting. Letters of tentative approval were issued earlier for each of the <br /> projects, and. we feel that the commitments contained in these letters should be <br /> honored by the Town and County. Our willingness to serve these developments is, <br /> of course, subject to review. and approval of detailed engineering. plans by both <br /> the. Town Engineer and State Division of Health Services. We expect these <br /> engineering reviews to determine whether the proposed developments can be con- <br /> structed in a manner consistent with the Town's current plans to maintain and <br /> improve water pressure to existing customers in the vicinity of the proposed • <br /> new developments. <br /> At its meeting on August 12th, the Town Board adopted a change to the Town's <br /> water and sewer extension policy which requires that all future applications for <br /> water-sewer service be reviewed by the Town Board. This review will be based on <br /> preliminary drawings and other information submitted by a developer with the <br /> application for approval. Under this new procedure, the Town Board will determine <br /> whether to extend water-sewer service to the proposed development, based on con- <br /> sideration of the availability of treatment plant capacity and other potential <br /> impacts of the proposed project. Tentative Board approval, subject to engineering <br /> review and approval, will then be communicated to the County by letter. This <br /> new approval procedure will substitute for the letter approval procedure used <br /> to dace. <br /> IIM <br /> • <br /> • <br />
