M Infrastructure M 0 Minutes <br />� � V April 10, 1990 <br />to provide detail and consistency in rural areas. This plan calls for <br />no realignment or other improvements, but simply evaluates existing <br />roads and their capacity to handle anticipated growth. Rural <br />Population of Orange County is Cedar Grove -- outside of the <br />Hillsborough and Mebane Thoroughfare Plan areas -- 6500; Bingham <br />Township and Mebane outside of the Chapel Hill /Carrboro and Mebane <br />Thoroughfare Planning areas - 6500. The Hillsborough Thoroughfare <br />Planning area is 15,000 to 20,000 and the Chapel Hill /Carrboro <br />Thoroughfare Planning area is 60 - 65,000 making a total Orange County <br />Population of close to 100,000 people. <br />A classification system is primarily provided to determine how a road <br />will be used and consequently how a road will be built. It is also <br />used in a priority scheduling for roads to be built under the State <br />Transportation Improvement. Plan (TIP). Roads located in a town's <br />extraterritorial jurisdiction are not in any way controlled by Orange <br />County. The Mebane extraterritorial jurisdiction is controlled by <br />Mebane. Consequently, if we want to target areas to zone for economic <br />development we can not effect the area in their ETJ. <br />Pat Davis told Ed Siebert that the EDC had a presentation concerning <br />Mebane's new Land Use Plan. It also highlights plan uses in the ETJ. <br />Ed Siebert then asked what the EDC was doing. Guido De Maere reminded <br />the committee that regardless of where development is, property taxes <br />generated by development come to Orange County. Ed Siebert emphasized <br />that it seemed like Mebane was moving ahead on economic development and <br />felt that the EDC should encourage them to continue. <br />Page 4 <br />
