<br />7 <br />T:\Advisory Boards\Orange Unified Transportation Board\Minutes\2006\OUTBoard Minutes 10-18-06.doc <br />7 <br />Benedict advised that there will be a joint advisory board meeting in January to <br />discuss the timeframe and other issues of concern and get feedback from the <br />various boards. <br /> <br />VIII. Plan Six Month Timeline <br />Peterson said that he would like to have Commissioner Jacobs and Gordon present <br />when this topic is discussed. The BOCC retreat is in January, and he questioned <br />the type of transportation issues that the BOCC is looking for. <br /> <br />Lincoln stated that Commissioner Jacobs has expressed interest in an OUTBoard <br />recommendation for the legislative agenda. She explained that the legislative <br />agenda is a separate issue than the BOCC’s planning agenda. Peterson asked if <br />this was the information that was sent to the State, and Lincoln responded, yes. <br />Peterson stated that N.C. House Bill 2631 would be one. Lincoln stated that <br />requests for expansion of Chapel Hill Transit into the County may entail some <br />legislative requests. <br /> <br />Benedict explained that the BOCC will send out a form to the various Advisory <br />Boards shortly, that has a consistent format for reporting their goals. Peterson <br />asked if they could get a copy of the form, and Lincoln said that she would try to get <br />one by next meeting. <br /> <br />Peterson indicated that topics for the next meeting could include a Carolina North <br />update, and the BOCC retreat goals. Lincoln said that another potential issue would <br />be the possible expansion of the MPO area boundary with regard to the LTIP. This <br />discussion will be occurring in January-March. The particular area of concern is the <br />I-85/I-40 corridor between Hillsborough and Mebane. <br /> <br />Peterson said that another topic that Commissioner Gordon suggested is the MPO <br />priorities. Lincoln said that another upcoming issue will be looking at amendments <br />to the subdivision regulations to lower the number of residential lots that trigger the <br />requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis for new development applications. This is <br />proposed as an item for the February Public Hearing. <br /> <br />IX. Adjournment <br />Motion by Ray to adjourn. Seconded by Smith. <br />Vote: Unanimous.
