113 A final public meeting was held on March 9, 1988 to present alternative plans. At a May 3 joint Hillsborough/Eno TAC meeting a quorum from the Hillsborough TAC was not present. As such, no recommendation was made by the TAC. The presentation at the public hearing summarized the differences between the existing Plan and the proposed amendments. No public comment was made at that time. Three changes have been made to the draft since the conclusion of the public hearing. The first is designation of the portion of the Little River watershed in Hillsborough Township as a water supply watershed. This has been done to make the Plan consistent with earlier staff recommendations to designate all, drinking water supply watersheds in Orange County as such, regardless of whether or not they directly serve Orange County residents. The second change is the inclusion of approximately nine acres adjacent to Highland Woods subdivision in Ten Year Transition. The third change is alter the boundary of the Upper Eno watershed to the east, reflecting more accurate topographic data. The Planning Board, at its June 20, 1988 meeting, recommended approval of the proposed Section 3.9 (Hillsborough Township) with the three changes as recommended by the Planning Staff. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the attached resolution, incorporating the proposed Section 3.9 (Hillsborough Township) as part of the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, including the following changes as recommended by the Planning Board: (1) Designating that portion of the Little River watershed in Hillsborough Township as a Water Supply Watershed; (2) Including approximately nine acres adjacent to Highland Woods Subdivision in the Ten-Year Transition Area; and (3) Adjust the boundary of the Upper Eno watershed to the east, reflecting more accurate topographic data.
