This is the method used in other places <br />around the country t.a ensure that the utility planning efforts <br />of the public water and ,sewer utilities and the land use <br />planning efforts of the local governments doing land use <br />planning are not thwarted through demands by land owners and the <br />development community that public water and sewer connections be <br />made contrary to the planned service area of the utilities. The <br />easiest way to accomplish the linkage is far the Joint Planning <br />Agreement to be amended to ,include by reference the adopted <br />Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement. <br />This Joint. Planning Agreement amendment will require a joint <br />public hearing of Orange County, Carrboro and Chapel Hill <br />followed by separate action of each governing board amending the <br />Joint Planning Agreement. This formality incorporates the Water <br />and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement into the <br />Joint Planning Agreement thus formalizing its provisions as land <br />use planning requirements that have the effect of law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Stephen H.
