On June 4, 1991, the governing boards of Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough met to review a proposal drafted by the work group. A copy of that proposal and a map of the Transition Area and the Water /Sewer Service Area are attachments to these minutes on pages The two boards agreed to the proposal except for locations in the Transition Area.

They have also been working with other developers which would make this a planned area development. He noted that there was less concern of the US 70 area. The two boards agreed to resolve these differences, and the Board of Commissioners directed the County Attorney to draw an agreement modeled along the lines of the Orange County - Chapel Hill - Carrboro Joint Planning Agreement.
