DaGlffq <br />3 <br />8. The proposed water and sewer service area will not extend <br />into the Rural Buffer of the Orange County - Chapel Hill - <br />Carrboro Joint Planning Area. <br />9. The proposed water and sewer service area will not <br />encompass the entire Davis Road Area. <br />10. The proposed water and sewer service area will be limited <br />so as not to extend into a portion of the Upper Eno <br />Protected Watershed (PW -II) district along Orange Grove <br />and Dimmocks Mill Road. <br />CONSENSUS ISSUES WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE <br />STANDARDS AND POLICY CHANGES <br />1. Protection of the Eno Division of Duke Forest. This can <br />be accomplished by limiting extensions of water and sewer <br />through the tract and developing performance standards <br />applicable to proposed projects on adjoining property. <br />This would insulate Duke Forest from adverse impacts and <br />insure the preservation of wildlife /forest habitat. <br />2. Orange County's Comprehensive Plan and Water and Sewer <br />Policy will have to be changed to reflect the distinction <br />between "urban growth area" and a "water /sewer service <br />area ", a major policy change for the County. <br />3. Maintenance of Rural Character District between <br />Hillsborough and Durham City to mitigate against <br />potential impact of proposed water line and water sales <br />agreement between Hillsborough and Durham City. This is <br />compatible with the Phase I - Rural Character <br />Alternative. <br />
