On June 4, 1991, the governing boards <br /> met to review a proposal drafted by the work group. <br /> The two governing boards agreed to the proposal <br /> except for two locations in the Transition Area. <br /> These included: <br /> 1 . The area bounded generally by I-40, Old Chapel <br /> Hill-Hillsborough Road (South Churton Street <br /> Extension) , N.C. Highway 86, and the current <br /> Transition Area boundary; and <br /> 2 . The area bounded generally by U.S. 70 Bypass, <br /> U. S. 70 Business, and Lawrence Road. <br /> The two boards agreed to resolve these differences, <br /> and the Board of Commissioners indicated it would <br /> ask the County Attorney to draw an agreement <br /> consistent with the concepts and policies included <br /> in the proposal. The Planning Boards of the two <br /> jurisdictions would be asked develop appropriate <br /> land use plans and development standards for the <br /> area. <br />
