already has two inch lines extended to the road leading to Moorefields and the Department of Transportation has put two sleves over the bridge so that if there is any growth in that area, the Town would not need to pay the cost of going under the highway. Chairman Carey indicated this would need to be dealt with in the future. The reason the line was moved to the east of Dimmocks Mill Road will become clear when talking about watershed protection in that part of the County. Marvin Collins explained the different areas on the map and why the lines are placed where they are based on a consensus reached by the work group. The map is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's Office. He explained that extension of water and sewer could be made in the water /sewer service area but that they would be made in accordance with the Rural Character Study guidelines which have been developed by the County. Bob Rose clarified that issue ,#3 means that the Town will not extend water and sewer into an area they cannot pay for but that the developer would need to pay that expense. Hillsborough needs to have the option whether or not to allow the extension of water and sewer. They won't make any extensions as long as the water is needed in town. Bob Rose explained that Davis Road forms the northern boundary of the watershed. What this means is that this line does not go along the entire length of Davis Road. Chair Carey stated that one thing not expressly written in the proposal is that in the transition area it would be expected that when Hillsborough annexes this area that they will provide all the required services that are in an urban area. Both Boards generally agreed with the boundary lines of the water /sewer service area as shown on the map. Bob Rose identified two areas they would like for the County to include in the twenty year transition area. The first area is at the I -40 and old 86 intersection. One side is in the twenty year transition and the town asked that this be extended to the other side of 1 -40. The other parcel is located at where Highway 70 and 70A split at the Wayside Baptist Church. If these two areas are included, the Town would be ready to accept the map. John Link explained that the County Planning Board and the Economic Development Board are looking at the area on 1 -40 they are talking about. Everyone agreed that further discussion needs to take place on these two areas of concerns. Commissioner Gordon suggested that the water /sewer area be called "Open Space District ". This will be decided at a later time.
