Among the 13 statements was a recommendation that Orange County conduct a public hearing on the advisability of a change in extraterritorial jurisdiction lines. Carrboro would release to Orange County' s jurisdiction approximately 1800 acres in University Lake watershed. In return, Orange County would release acreage north of Carrboro to the Town' s jurisdiction. Two alternatives are to be considered, with some variation between the positions possible. One alternative is an acre-for-acre exchange. Approximately 1800 acres of land in Bolin Creek basin would be released to Carrboro in return for that portion of University Lake watershed in the Town' s jurisdiction. The second alternative would involve a much smaller land area in Bolin Creek basin. Based
