Dear Hr. ✓
At their eet-ing last night, the- Orange County Cosaission rs
considered the Chapel .Hill Town Saard's resolution of September 11.
The rosolvtion requested the Commissioners' attendance at a work
session on the Greene Tract an October 11 at 5:30 PK to be followed
by a joint p1wMing Area Public Hearing on the Draft Northwest
small Area plan..zt:? 10. PlK.
]after due' deliberation, the COamissioners voted unanisoualy
not to approvi a notice of public hearing for October 11. In that
the jointly-gowned Greene Tract is a focal point of the draft plan,
the cosvijs�siaFnnrs felt that the future disposition of the property
should be Luny -discussed by Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange
county before the plan is considered at public hearing. They were
supportive of the 5:30-vwk session, .butt didn't feel that two hours
was adequate ties to consider and .resolvo all issues.
A related.. issue 'discussed -by the Comwissioners was the
possibility of .a iuturt -landfill on site 17. As you know, a public
hearing on possible landfill sites is scheduled for September 29.
The Cosstissiorers- acknowledged that if site i ultimately f th
selected for .a- -landfill# there will .be implications
Northwest Small Area Plan. Accordingly, the orange County
Commissioners requested that:
1) The 5:3o P![ work session on the Greens Tract be held on
October -li;. and
2) ttmat, in lieu of the public hearing, a second work session
be conducted on the sane evening on the Draft Northwest
small Area Plan which considers the plan Is= and without.
site i1 as the new landfill.
please -call if you- have Questions or it I can provide further
inf ormation.
