Please refer to the attached memoranda from the Durham Planning <br />Department to the Durham City Manager. In the August 25, 1999, memorandum, Figure 2 (page <br />14) shows the "Orange County Future UGA Study Area" included in UGB. <br />The 1995 Durham Growth Plan which is now being reexamined, only requires a dialogue or <br />discussion to be initiated between county and city managers.
