*' ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 19, 2001 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Resolution Acknowledging Durham City Sewer Facilities Being Extended Into <br />Orange County far L&W Mobile Home Park _ _ _ <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Proposed Resolution Craig N. Benedict, ext. 2592 <br />Letter from Robert E. Hornik, Jr., The Brough Law Paul Thames, ext. 2303 <br />Firm, to John Link dated 5/24/2001 Rosemary Summers, ext. 2411 <br />Letter from Rosemary Summers, to Wayne Paschall <br />dated 5/24/01 <br />Letter from Rosemary Summers, to Durham City <br />Council, dated 5/22/2001 <br />Letter from Rosemary Summers, to Orange County <br />Board of Commissioners, dated 5/22/2001 <br />Letter from Rosemary Summers to Orange County <br />Board of Health & Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners dated 3/13/2001 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane (336)227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To acknowledge and grant permission as required by NC Statute far the extension of <br />Durham City public utilities into Orange County to service L & W Mobile Hame Park. <br />BACKGROUND: The history of the need to service the existing 41 mobile home spaces in L & W <br />Mobile Home Park is elaborated in the attached letters. A number of septic systems in the park <br />have failed. The owner is currently under a health department order to vacate spaces due to the <br />failing irreparable systems. This area is within the I-85/US 70 (Durham Area) EDD and also noted <br />as part of Durham City's Urban Growth Area (UGA) where annexations are likely to occur especially <br />if water and sewer is extended. Mobile home parks are inconsistent with the EDD long-range use <br />of the area and both planning departments are trying to reconcile the differences as requests for <br />service in Orange County are becoming more regular. <br />L & W Mobile Home Park would be responsible to pay the costs of extensions. Water systems are <br />presently in the area but the site would probably be serviced by a new pump station and whether it <br />is intended for only L & W Mobile Home Park sizing or otherwise has not been determined. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution granting <br />permission to Durham City to extend sewer to the L & W Mobile Home Park. <br />
