Util 7 thirteen points on the back of the map. It was agreed to have the planning staff establish some possibilities for us. Carrboro has indicated that it would willing to undertake an acreage swap as indicated by the bolder line to the north. There was also some consideration whether there should be a density swap. Carrboro had felt that since the density is already at a low level because of efforts to restrict development within the watershed, that is not something it wants to pursue at this point. The last thing I want to do is clarify some things that are not at issue. First, it is clear that designation as transition are or designation as extraterritorial jurisdiction does not set densities for development and that is something that would be done in the context of establishing land use regulations. Second, you should know that extraterritorial jurisdiction and the designation as transition area do not have the force of creating some sort of an annexation to occur in the future. Annexation in North Carolina is controlled by state statute and if there were to be involuntary annexation this is something that is specifically controlled by statute and require certain use characteristics and/or density of population and subdivision within the area to be annexed.

On the maps behind me is shown the first Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan taken to public hearing in August of 1986 . The one on my far left is the joint planning area plan that was adopted by Chapel Hill and Orange County in October of last year. The proposal for the expansion of the transition area would extend the line for the transition area to include approximately 1500 additional acres. The area would extend north from NC 86 and Buckhorn Branch to Duke Forest with some existing properties left between Duke Forest and the northern boundaries of the transition line. The map that I just uncovered shows in an orange color the transition area that is being proposed and it is essentially that which was presented at public hearing back in August of last year, excluding certain high density areas and also a major industrial center. So comparing the two maps you can see the proposed expansion of the transition areas. Item lb has to do with an actual designation of the transition area and rural buffer boundaries. Since the plan was adopted, there has been continued reference to the transition area versus the rural buffer. The orange area on the map, including interspersed green areas or resource conservation districts would constitute the transition area. The outer boundary of the orange area would be the
