The Board adopted the agreement on March 6 , 2001 . Hillsborough discussed the <br /> agreement that spring , but did not adopt it . <br /> Issues that prevented the town adopting the agreement in 2001 included concern of increased <br /> workload by Hillsborough ' s planning director and size .or threshold limit activating review of a <br /> project . These items have since been discussed and negotiated by a joint staff work group <br /> composed of John Link , Orange County Manager , Craig Benedict , Orange County Planning <br /> Director , Eric Peterson , Hillsborough Town Manager , Demetric Potts , Assistant Town Manager <br /> and Public Works Director , and Margaret Hauth , Town Planning Director . This was discussed <br /> at a Joint Meeting in May , 2002 . <br /> A revised agreement is now presented for consideration . The primary difference with the <br /> previous agreement involves setting a threshold for project review of five acres for land use <br /> amendments , rezonings , special use permits , conditional use permits and annexations or a <br /> project with a 50 unit residential component . These thresholds include both residential and <br /> non - residential ( Le , commercial , office , industrial ) projects . As with the previous agreement , the <br /> area includes the water and sewer service area boundary both in Orange County and Town of <br /> Hillsborough jurisdiction . <br />
