1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: March 7, 2023 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-1 <br /> SUBJECT: Signature Authorization for Greene Tract Deeds Property Transfer <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> 1. Draft Deeds Cy Stober, Planning Director, 919-245- <br /> 2. Recombination Plat 2575 <br /> 3. 2021 Greene Tract Resolution Ashley Moncado, Planner 111, 919-245-2589 <br /> PURPOSE: To authorize the Chair to sign the Greene Tract deeds to allow for the transfer of <br /> property with the Town of Chapel Hill and the Town of Carrboro. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Greene Tract is a 167 acre parcel of which 107 acres is jointly owned by <br /> Orange County/Chapel Hill/Carrboro and 60 acres is owned by Orange County (Headwaters <br /> Preserve). The parcel is located east of the Rogers Road community within the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill's ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction). <br /> On November 16, 2021, the BOCC adopted the Greene Tract Resolution Approving the Draft <br /> Recombination Plat and Conceptual Plan. The resolution authorized the Managers to sign the <br /> final recombination plat as the property owners for the three local governments. The <br /> recombination plat has been completed and signed by the Managers. <br /> During the recording process, it was brought to staff's attention that new property deeds would <br /> need to be drafted and signed by the three local governments. The new deeds would need to <br /> address the transfer of acreage for the two Greene Tract parcels from Joint Owned to County <br /> Owned and County Owned to Joint Owned. Draft property deeds are provided at Attachment 1. <br /> The draft deeds reflect modifications to the 60 acres (County Owned) parcel and 107 acre (Joint <br /> Owned) parcel as contained in the 2021 Greene Tract Resolution and recombination plat <br /> (Attachment 2). <br /> The draft deeds have been reviewed by the Orange County Attorney's Office. In addition, legal <br /> staff from the Town of Carrboro and the Town of Chapel Hill have reviewed the draft deeds. <br /> Once completed and signed, the recombination plat and deeds may be recorded at the Orange <br /> County Register of Deeds office. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal associated with <br /> this item. <br />
