12 331 Charity Kirk: Well, I'm trying to bring it up as this is my personal experience, but I know to the east of me, 332 there's a lot of homes and a lot of unmanaged forests,which is in that area that you have had 333 issues with, and so it's an interesting question of like what is the forest service doing and being 334 proactive, but that's not you. 335 336 Kirby Saunders: Yeah, and those conversations I think are ongoing, and so we can continue that,we, as 1 337 mentioned on that tract or that parcel,that census track is a focus of ours and as of this week,we 338 talked about bringing the forest service. Let's look beyond just the impact and how we prepare 339 people. Let's look at the risk. How do we reduce the risk? And so, I think that's what you're 340 getting at is how do we work with landowners and adjacent to that property that's of high priority 341 for us a target to reduce risks,whether it be management of fuels or other things and do some 342 outreach there as well. 343 344 Charity Kirk: But that outreach would be the forest service? 345 346 Kirby Saunders: I think that would be the forest service in combination with us both, together. 347 348 Charity Kirk: And is, is the forest service more like public stuff,where they come and help private landowners 349 on request, but are they trying to be more proactive? Are you trying to get them to be more 350 proactive? 351 352 Kirby Saunders: I would say it's more of a partnership that we're leaning towards bringing them in. We haven't 353 done that in the past. 354 355 Lamar Proctor: All right,thank you very much. Mr. Saunders. The next item is memo on the land use plan 2050 356 process. 357 358 Tom Altieri presented the Memo and attachments on the Land Use Plan 2050 Process 359 360 Lamar Proctor: All right.Any questions for Tom? Dolores? 361 362 Dolores Bailey: Tom, can you just share a little bit what held the commissioners back? Did they have specific 363 questions? 364 365 Tom Altieri: I'll reference it in general but there's probably three pages in your packet there,and all those 366 questions verbatim are provided there, so I would encourage you to take a look at that. Some of 367 them are more like Planning 101-type questions that they've asked about,some of the things 1 368 know Perdita preps the planning board with at your orientation sessions. Questions about, our 369 joint planning agreements and what they mean,our urban services boundaries and how that might 370 relate to our water and sewer management boundary agreement and map. So, they're looking for 371 information I think to get a better understanding of how things fit together. 372 373 Beth Bronson: Regarding that document and them asking questions about the ETJ overlay and the housing 374 capacity that Chapel Hill did and if other municipalities were doing so, are those the existing 375 and/or by the time that gets published, any other comp plans that have been updated, are those 376 going to be overlaid onto Orange County's future land use to indicate that Mebane has a growth 377 area, Durham has a growth area, Carrboro has a growth area? Is that going to be visible? 378 379 Tom Altieri: So, some of the growth areas are reflected. They were reflected in the alternatives that we took 380 out to the public. For example, Mebane's urban services boundary was part of one of the 381 alternatives. We also used Hillsborough's urban services boundary to construct some of the land 382 uses that were suggested in those alternatives around the Hillsborough fringe. As far as the 383 housing study goes, I think it was primarily related to Chapel Hill. 384 385 Lamar Proctor: And,Tom,what would be the next thing that comes our way from the process?
