096 <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE <br /> ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD <br /> CONCERNING A <br /> COUNTY—WIDE THOROUGHFARE PLAN <br /> It is apparent that as growth continues in Orange <br /> County , problems arise concerning the transportation needs <br /> for this new growth . To aid in the planning for future <br /> development the County must classify, and set standards for, <br /> existing Iroads . As stated in the Land Use Plan : "While <br /> providing 'la vital service function , the means and manner by <br /> which people and goods are transported influences the <br /> physical development pattern throughout the County ." <br /> The lOrange County Planning Board, therefore, requests <br /> that the Board of County Commissioners ask the State <br /> Thoroughfare Planning Department to design a thoroughfare <br /> plan for the remainder of the County that does not include <br /> the Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan Area , the Alamance County <br /> Urban Area study, and the DCHC Urban Area study . This Plan <br /> would be designed following completion of the sketch <br /> thoroughfare plan for the Town of Hillsborough (to be <br /> completed in 3 to 6 months) and would be designed so that the <br /> road systems of the above area studies would interlock into <br /> one countywide thoroughfare plan . <br /> This , the 27th day of January , 1966 . <br /> Alice Gordon <br /> Planning Board Chair <br /> II <br />
