Public sewer service is available out to Mineral <br />Springs Road at present. The area between Mineral Springs Road and Doc Nichols Road <br />presently has no sewer service. The proposed southeast Durham UGA contraction area <br />generally encompasses Iand between Doc Nichols Road and Olive Branch Road. <br />Three options are presented for Council consideration and were described in detail in the <br />August 25,1999 memo to the Council: <br />• Option 1, Maintain Present UGA: Maintain the UGA boundary in its present location. <br />• Option 2.~ Contract UGA to Doc Nichols Road: This option fiilly implements the <br />• UGA changes recommended by the Durham 2020 Comprehensive Plan. This option <br />for UGA contraction would remove approximately 3,860 acres in about 380 parcels. <br />• Option 3, Contract UGA to Mid-Way: ~ This option represents a compromise between <br />options I and 2. The UGA would be pulled back, but not as much. This option <br />would remove approximately 1,660 acres from the present UGA, representing about <br />120 parcels. Most of the land is used for rural residential or agrieuhural purposes or <br />is undeveloped; most of the land is zoned Rural Development (RD). <br /> Summary of Proposed <br />UGA Bounda Amendments <br /> Number of <br />• Parcels Size <br />Durham County - ~ 85,790 299.0 Sq.
