ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: October 1, 2003 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 5-~ <br />SUBJECT: Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners Regarding Courtesy Review of <br />Hillsborough Project Known as Villages at Meadowview <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />• Proposed Resolution <br />• Courtesy Review Report <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig N. Benedict, ext. 2592 <br />Karen Lincoln, ext. 2594 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane (336)227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider a resolution regarding transportation issues related to the Villages at <br />Meadowview. <br />BACKGROUND: Last year, Orange County Planning staff provided courtesy review comments to <br />the Town. More recently, the project has returned from a review and process hiatus whereby an <br />opportunity exists to further accent the importance of previous comments regarding the Eno <br />Mountain Road/Mayo Street realignment plan. The proposed Villages at Meadowview <br />development in Hillsborough's jurisdiction has transportation implications for Orange Grove Road. <br />The property is located at the intersection of Orange Grove Road and Eno Mountain Road and <br />involves 33.52 acres. Most of the property is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection, <br />but there is also a smaller portion at the northeast corner of the intersection. <br />This area has been the focus of much study and discussion in recent years with the Orange Grove <br />Road Task Force and NC Moving Ahead!. While Orange County Planning Staff has provided <br />courtesy review comments to Hillsborough staff, it is felt that a resolution from the BOCC will <br />underscore critical transportation issues that need to be considered as the development approval <br />process proceeds. The resolution notes the important aspects of transportation issues and the <br />proposal. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed resolution and <br />transmittal to the Hillsborough Town Board of Commissioners and Town Manager. <br />
