ATTACUMENT "B"I <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Board of County Commissioners and Orange County Planning Board <br /> Chapel Hill Town Council and Chapel Hill Planning Board <br /> Carrboro Board of Aldermen and Carrboro Planning Board <br /> From: Parker Road/ Laurel Hills Neighborhood Association <br /> Subject: Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan <br /> Date: January 14, 1986 <br /> The Board of Directors of the Parker Road/ Laurel Hills <br /> Neighborhood Association met on January 12 to discuss the Draft Joint <br /> Planning Area Land Use Plan which includes our neighborhood located in <br /> the Southern Triangle. The Board fully supports the land use plan for our <br /> area as proposed, and voted unanimously to endorse it. <br /> The Board also unanimously voted to support the joint planning <br /> approach to planning for our area, as opposed to granting extra-territorial <br /> jurisdiction to the Town of Chapel Hill. This cooperative effort allows <br /> voting constituents of both the town and county to have an influence on <br /> land use planning decisions in the area surrounding the town. We feel the <br /> joint planning approach is far superior to the extra-territorial approach <br /> since it has given all concerned parties a chance to participate. <br /> Autonomous jurisdiction for one governing body is just not appropriate. <br /> Therefore, we strongly support continued joint planning because it ensures <br /> that we will be able to vote for the governing officials who make the land <br /> use decisions for our area. <br /> Submitted by .417-13744A-- <br /> Paula LaPoint, Secretary <br /> Parker Road/ Laurel Hills Neighborhood Association <br />
