Approved 11/6/13 <br />6 <br />notification from the Town on September 13th that the Town is prepared to initiate that process and has asked for 270 <br />coordination with County staff and that a meeting be held to determine how that process will unfold and when. I don’t have 271 <br />those specifics now but certainly will have more soon following that meeting we anticipate to take place this month. The 272 <br />recommendation is that the Planning Board deliberate as necessary on the draft plan and provide that recommendation to 273 <br />the County Commissioners in time for their November 5th meeting. 274 <br /> 275 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: I know that Commissioner Gordon had concerns about the area where the municipal was all in black 276 <br />and gray in the map, did you have a chance to look at that. 277 <br /> 278 <br />Tom Altieri: I have and what she if referring to is the area shown within the Town’s ETJ and is included in the area that is 279 <br />to be swapped with Orange County. It will become Orange County’s jurisdiction. There is an area that is presently in the 280 <br />County’s jurisdiction that is to become Town of Hillsborough ETJ and therefore it has colors on the maps in those areas. 281 <br /> 282 <br />(Planning Members and staff reviewed maps) 283 <br /> 284 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: (referring to area on map) That area is Duke Forrest and critical watershed so it is really unlikely there 285 <br />will be factories or condominiums in that area. 286 <br /> 287 <br />Tom Altieri: That is exactly why the Town is entertaining this swap and it makes sense to both parties. 288 <br /> 289 <br />Craig Benedict: ETJ is usually intended for growth and they can’t grow there so we are giving them areas such as near 290 <br />the interchange that would allow them growth. We need some clarity with regard to the ‘rural living’ category within Orange 291 <br />County planning jurisdiction. 292 <br /> 293 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: One of the things driving this is that Hillsborough historically had this very large bite of the County they it 294 <br />was anticipating for services and then figured out how much it would cost to do water and sewer and the other thing that 295 <br />really affected this was that I-40 came along and this area between I-40 and I-85 is pure gold. It developed in a way that no 296 <br />one could anticipate prior to knowing about I-40. What we are really deliberating on here is saying yes this is a good 297 <br />process in having the County and Hillsborough get together and come up with an agreement on how things should go and 298 <br />coordinate their planning efforts to go in that direction. 299 <br /> 300 <br />Tony Blake: The swap makes sense. 301 <br /> 302 <br />Tom Altieri pointed out areas on the map in regard to the Town of Hillsborough’s plans on when to potentially service with 303 <br />water and sewer. 304 <br /> 305 <br />MOTION made by Paul Guthrie to approve the draft Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Coordinated Future Land Use 306 <br />Plan.
