. • <br /> to the Duke Forest border. This would result in my clients <br /> coming under the jurisdiction of two separate governmental <br /> agencies in planning the development and the use of their entire <br /> tract. If the Planning Staff recommendation were to be adopted, <br /> then the property extending 400 feet from the Duke Forest border <br /> into my clients' property would fall within the jurisdiction of <br /> the Orange County Planning Board whereas the property of my <br /> clients which lies 400 feet south of the Duke Forest would fall <br /> within the planning jurisdiction of the Town of Carrboro. <br /> One solution to this problem would be to adjust the Northern <br /> Transition Area II boundary so as to coincide with the southern <br /> boundary of the Duke Forest properties as suggested by the <br /> Carrboro Board of Aldermen and in addition, in cooperation with <br /> the Town of Carrboro, to retain a natural buffer of such distance <br /> from the Duke Forest properties as to afford those properties, <br /> the protection the Commissioners may determine is sufficient to <br /> protect the public interest. This would result in all of the <br /> property belonging to my clients coming under ' the single <br /> jurisdiction of the Town of Carrboro. It may also result in <br /> pushing development further from the Duke Forest. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> C • <br /> • E. K. Powe <br /> Attorney for Messrs.
