Paul Norby, Jr., AICP Planning Director Durham City-County Planning Department 101 City Hall Plaza Durham, North Carolina 27701 Dear Paul: RE: Orange County-City of Durham Courtesy Review Process As you may recall, we met back in April to discuss a number of issues, including the question of how to deal with projects which crossed the county line. Among the methods discussed to handle such cases was establishment of a courtesy review system whereby each jurisdiction would notify and likewise have the opportunity to comment on projects of mutual interest. Subsequently, I wrote to you on June 14 regarding the extension of public utilities to serve the Caroline Mobile Home Park. I will not bother to cover the details of that case again but simply indicate that it has led us back to the same discussion that occurred in April; e.g., establishment of a courtesy review process. On Monday of this week, the Durham City Manager, Orange County Manager, Durham Mayor, and Orange County Commission Chair met to discuss the possibility of establishing such a process. to the Durham representatives was a draft resolution (copy attached) which would, if approved, authorize the administrations of the two jurisdictions-to implement a courtesy-review- process. - Following the meeting, the County Manager contacted me and asked that I draft a one page statement of how the process would operate. This I have done,-using-Fimilar agreements drafted as-- part of joint planning efforts with the Towns of Ftillsborough, Chapel Hill,and Carrboro. The procedural statement is also included as an attachment. The County Manager also asked that I meet with you to develop a final draft which would presented to the Orange County Board of Commissioners at its November 16, 1993 meeting.Thus,my purpose in sending you the draft documents is to request that you review them, then call me so that a meeting can be arranged to develop the final draft. Should you have questions, please feelfree.to contact me at your convenience. My phone -- number is 688-7391,Extension 2592. .. Sincerely, Marvin E.
