The Town would like to set a public hearing for the extension of the ETJ as soon as <br /> possible based on the County agreeing with this change. <br /> The change would allow the Town to establish uniform zoning over five parcels that are <br /> currently split by our jurisdictional boundaries and was the subject of some discussion during our <br /> joint meeting on October 13, 2016. Though there was some interest expressed at the meeting in <br /> examining the ETJ boundary over a larger area, that effort is expected to require significant <br /> effort and a relatively long time frame. In the meanwhile, a local business has been actively <br /> working to prepare a plan/permit application to allow one of the parcels to be developed as a new <br /> site for their business. A shorter timeframe for resolution of the ETJ boundary for the <br /> commercial properties in the NC Highway 54 West corridor is highly desirable. <br /> If the Orange County Commissioners act favorably upon this request, the Town will move <br /> forward with setting a public hearing for extension of the ETJ. Please feel free to contact me or <br /> Planning Director, Patricia McGuire if you need further information. Thank you very much for <br /> considering the request. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Lydia Lavelle, Mayor <br /> Town of Carrboro <br /> xc: Bonnie Hammersley,Orange County Manager <br /> David Andrews,Town Manager <br /> 301 WEST MAIN STREET,cam ROW%NC 27510•(919)942-8541•FAx(919)918-4456•VOICE/TTY/TOD/ASOL711 <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER <br />
