The UGA boundary encompasses an azea outside the City to which the <br />City will eventually allow the extension of public utilities. It also represents an area that the City <br />deems appropriate for urban or suburban density development and that the City would eventually <br />annex. ~ . <br />The City is presently considering some changes in its UGA boundary. In several areas, the UGA <br />boundary is proposed to contract, so thatproperties inside the UGA today would be located <br />outside of the UGA. Your property is in one of these areas. The implication for you is that if the <br />proposal is adopted, you would not be allowed to extend City water and sewer to your property. <br />The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the location of the UGA boundary. You aze <br />invited to come and express your opinions about the proposed changes. The public hearing will <br />be conducted as part of the Council's regulaz meeting on ,1999 at 7:30 PM iti the <br />Council Chambers, Durham City Hall, 101 City Hall Plaza, ~Durhain, NC. ~ _ <br />For more information about the proposed UGA boundary changes, please contact Keith Luck, <br />Senior Planner, at 919-560-4137 x244, email kluck@ci.durham.nc.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Norman Standerfer, Planning Director <br />~. <br />~. <br />
