4 residential. (5) With regard to the area bounded by Homestead Road, Chapel Hill High School, the railroad and the area east of the railroad - change from suburban residential to urban residential. (6) Designate the future landfill site as "potential landfill site - pending further study". The Carrboro recommendations include: (1) That the proposed Commercial-Industrial node in the Calvander area along Homestead road be designated for residential development. (2) That the proposed small Office-Institutional node at the intersection of Homestead Road and Rogers Road be changed back to residential. (3) With regard to the constraint system, that it be changed to allow determination of permissible intensity of development. (4) That based on environmental features, relief from the constraint system be provided along the Homestead Road corridor, forming the northern link of the Chapel Hill Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan for a distance of 500 feet to encourage higher residential densities adjacent to mass transit routes. (5) Permit sewer lines to be extended into University watershed. (6) That developments within the transition areas be required N to be served by public water and sewer. (7) That a Rural Buffer be developed around the Towns. (8) That an inventory of the environmentally affected areas be performed. (9) That the suburban and urban residential category proposed by the Orange County Planning staff be combined into one classification called "transitional residential" and that the density be determined on a tract by tract basis based on the natural constraint system with a maximum of six (6) units per acre. The Planning Board recommended adoption of the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan with revisions. They also adopted a five-part resolution regarding its commitment to joint planning. Collins reviewed in detail all the revisions and the differences (if any) between the Planning Board recommendation and the recommendations of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. He answered questions to clarify any area of concern expressed by the Board. Planning Board Chair Barry Jacobs commented that the recommendations of the Orange County Planning Board, where possible, reflect the wishes of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill Planning Director Roger Walton remarked that the moment is a historic one. He offered praise for the cooperative spirit displayed by Orange County. He pointed out two differences that still remain and explained these in detail: (1) the area on Eubanks Road and (2) density in the rural buffer. Chair Willhoit asked if the plan could be adopted with amendments so that further discussion could be held between Orange County and the Towns on items not agreed upon and Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill indicated the plan could be adopted with "holes" to be filled in later. Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by
