Item 7.e. - Eno EDD Planning, Sewer Project, Proposed Development, and Access Management Plan Eno EDD Planning Efforts - The EDD is bounded by Mt. Herman Church Road to the west, I-40/85 to the north, and the old NC Hwy 10 to the south along the US 70 corridor. The majority of the EDD has been designated as an urban growth area since 1981 because of its proximity to I-85, US 70, the interchange of the two, and the NCRR/Norfolk Southern (NS) Railway. The future of the area for urban growth was originally defined by the 1981 Orange County Land Use Plan, reinforced by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (2008), and economic development land use and zoning amendments for the majority of the area in 1994. Envisioned land use included nonresidential commercial, office and industrial with some higher density housing. From 2006-2008 the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) directed the development and adoption of the Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Small Area Plan, which contains numerous recommendations regarding future urban services and development. Orange County/City of Durham Interlocal Agreement - There is a recently updated interlocal agreement between Orange County and the City of Durham for Durham to provide water and sewer service to Eno Economic Development District (EDD). The County and the City will collaboratively supervise the design and construction of the utility infrastructure. Concurrent downstream sewer system improvements by Durham will remove former sewage capacity constraints resulting from infiltration and inflow that have to be resolved before Orange County’s sewer system extension can be brought online. Completion of Orange County’s project is timed such that it will coincide with sufficient downstream capacity improvements. Infrastructure will be turned over to the City of Durham for ownership and maintenance following completion. Eno Capital Facilities Project – In order to utilize these EDDs for their intended purpose, Orange County has entered into an agreement with the City of Durham for Durham to provide the first phase of sewer infrastructure to a portion of the Eno EDD and supervise the design and construction of the utility infrastructure necessary to provide service. Approximately 100 acres in the northeast portion of the 800+/- acre Eno EDD has been identified for gravity sewer system extensions at this time. Design work on the CIP project was just recently completed and it is expected to go out to bid in November 2017, with construction occurring in the winter of 2018. Public water service is existing and able to be extended in the 100 acre portion of the EDD that will be receiving gravity sewer system service in the winter of 2108. 30
