PURPOSE: To consider endorsing the Youth Services Task Force recom-
mendations for allocating Community Based Alternative (CBA)
expansion funds.
BACKGROUND: The Legislature at the request of the County Commissioner's
Association several years ago enacted legislation to provide
inflationary increases to cover the State's share of local
programs that are jointly funded by State Appropriations. The
guidelines for expenditure of these funds provide that they
may be used for any legitimate expense of a CBA Program within
the County. The expansion funds must be committed to a
specific program by January 1st. The Task Force received six
proposals for use of the expansion funds which total $4, 323
dollars. The additional funds require a 30% or $1,297 local
match. The agencies receiving the expansion funds will pro-
vide the required match.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve acceptance of the CBA expansion funds.

Expansion funds available $4323.00
Youth Services received four requests for funding and recommend approval
of three.
RECOMMENDATION: •
1. Program "Goodby Cinderella" receive $831.00. This is a program
in which adult role models are utilized to help adolescent girls
build self esteem.
2. 4-H Camp scholarships receive $2359.00 to provide summer camp
scholarships for youth at risk.

DUKE FOREST: FAO$ SHEET
n2"7
HISTORY: Duke Forest was founded over fifty years ago as an outdoor
laboratory for forestry research and education. Much of
the land that was aquired was worn out and abandoned farms .
With additions over the years the forest grew to its present
size of 8, 300 acres . The vast majority of that acreage
is in Durham and Orange Counties spread over five separate
tracts, the Durham Division, Korstian Division, Blackwood
Division, Eno Division, and Hillsborough Division.
THE THREAT: The Duke Administration commissioned a non-profit group
called The Urban Land Institute to study the Forest and make
recommendations for the future. The ULI , composed primarily
of nationally prominent real estate developers , _issued its
report in early 1987 . They recommended that most of the Forest
( 6, 000 acres ) be developed . Their recommendations include
development of residential tracts , exclusive neighborhoods ,
condominiums , ( in the Durham Division they envision an upper
income/low density neighborhood called "Founders Row" ) ,
commercial areas with shopping centers , as well as areas
for light industry.
THE RESPONSE: Initially the Administration expected to respond to
the report at its September Board meeting. A vociferous
public response opposed to the ULI recommendations led
Duke to delay acting on the report. To allay alumni and
public concerns Duke created the Land Resources Committee,
composed of trustees and faculty to study the issue and
make recommendations in Spring of 1988 . The LRC in turn
created three subcommittees to examine specific aspects of
the Forest. They_ areI the Academic Uses Committee to examine
forestry research and education uses , the Non-Academic
Uses Committee to examine other._ways= in which the Forest may
be used, and the Community Concerns Committee to gather •
and evaluate input from surrounding communities. These
subcommittees will deliver their reports to the LRC by the
beginning of the year . The Trustees will probably respond
in late spring, 1988 .
PRESENT USES OF THE FOREST: Duke Forest represents the oldest outdoor
laboratory for forestry research in the country. Managed
stands of trees dating back to the 1930' s are invaluable
for comparative studies. Currently, over one million dollars
of forestry research takes place annually. A significant
four million dollar multi-year study on acid rain is currently
underway. There are over 135,000 "visitor days" a year which
translates to well over a quarter of a million people yearly
using Duke Forest. Visitor uses include hiking, bird-watching,
jogging, horseback riding, bicycling and simply seeking solitude.
As development pressures increase in the Triangle area , the
Forest has become an increasingly important open space preserve.
The local government bodies have maintain low density zones
around the Forest in anticipation of the Forest being main-
tained in its present state.
SAVE DUKE FOREST: A 028
grassroots organization, SAVE DUKE FOREST, has
emerged to lead the effort to ensure the integrity of the
Forest. Over eighty people came to an initial organizational
meeting to volunteer their time and energies . Six subcommittees
were formed at that time to engage in diverse activities
to save Duke Forest. They are working to: heighten public
awareness/education; gain the support of local environmental ,
church, civic and other organizations ; assure media exposure;
organize letter writing to the trustees; gain the support
of county and city governments; maintain high visibility
at local events/festivals; and to generate a strong response
by the Duke alumni .
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Save Duke Forest represents the large consti-
tuency that wants the Forest to be preserved as it is : an
outdoor laboratory which also serves the area ' s need for
open space. Individuals and groups can assist by letting
the Trustees know that they too believe strongly that the
Forest should be preserved . Let them know of the Forest ' s
importance to you - as a place to walk and enjoy nature.
Let them know of its importance as the oldest laboratory
in the country for forestry research and education. Let them
know of its importance to the Region as critical open
space which serves community needs, a community of which
Duke is a member.

PURPOSE: Consideration of the Preliminary Plan for Phase One of
Highland Downs Subdivision.
BACKGROUND: The property is located in Cheeks Township on Highland Farm
Road (SR 1332) . The total acreage of the tract is 164.20
acres, with 21 acres proposed for division. The developer is
proposing twelve (12) lots with an average lot size of 1.5
acres. Public streets (Downs Drive and Rosena Court) are
proposed, constructed to State standards. The property is
zoned Agricultural Residential (A-R) and designated
Agricultural Residential in the Orange County Land Use
Plan.
All agencies have reviewed the preliminary plan. The N.C.
Department of Transportation indicated a need to submit a
complete set of construction plans for review.
Construction plans would be submitted to and approved by
NCDOT prior to final plat approval.
At its November 16, 1987 meeting, the Planning Board
recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Phase I of
Highland Downs subject to the following conditions:
1. Lots 1 and 12 must receive access from Downs Drive.
030
2
2. Lots 2 and 5 must receive access from Rosena Court to
meet NCDOT density requirements.
3 . Delete the "implied easement" extending from the cul-
de-sac on Rosena Court to the eastern property line.
4. Designate the "future 50 ' easement" extending from the
cul-de-sac on Downs Drive to the northern property line
as "dedicated public right-of-way". The future
extension of Downs Drive will require that the right
of-way in the cul-de-sac (above that required for a 50-
foot right-of-way) be incorporated into lots 6, 7 and
8.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the preliminary
plat as recommended by the Planning Board.

(2) Phase I - Highland Downs
(12 lots - Cheeks Township) 037
Presentation by Eddie Kirk.
This agenda item is for the consideration of
the Preliminary Plan for Phase One of Highland
Downs Subdivision.
The property is located in Cheeks Township on
Highland Farm Road (SR 1332) . The total acreage
of the tract is 164 .20 acres, with 21 acres
proposed for division. The developer is
proposing twelve (12) lots with an average lot
size of 1 .5 acres. Public streets (Downs Drive
and Rosena Court) are proposed, constructed to
State standards. The property is zoned
Agricultural Residential (A-R) and designated
Agricultural Residential in the Orange County
Land Use Plan.
All agencies have reviewed the preliminary
plan. The N.C. Department of Transportation
indicated a need to submit a complete set of
construction plans for review. Construction
plans would be submitted to and approved by
NCDOT prior to final plat approval.
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the
preliminary plan with the following
conditions:
1 . Lots 1 and 12 must receive access from
Downs Drive.
2. Lots 2 and 5 must receive access from
Rosena Court to meet NCDOT density
requirements.
3. That Downs Drive be dedicated public to the
property line.
4. If the road is extended in the future. the
cul-de-sac will be deleted.
Jacobs asked about the implied easement at the
end of Rosena Court. Kirk responded that it
was first thought that the property to the east
was landlocked. Scott Dorsett stated that he
would provide an easement through the remainder
of Dorsett Acres. Therefore the Planning Staff
feels that this easement is no longer
necessary.
Jacobs asked about utilities. Mr. Dorsett
038 responded utilities would be underground.
Best asked about a landscaping plan. Kirk
responded these were indicated on the plat.
Yuhasz asked for clarification regarding the
implied easement. Kirk responded that the
implied easement is not necessary as the
property to the east is not landlocked.
MOTION: Yuhasz moved approval with Planning Staff' s
conditions and the additional condition that
the developer be allowed to remove the implied
easement with that land to revert to one or
both of the adjoining lots if he so desires.
Seconded by Pilkey.
VOTE: Unanimous.

PURPOSE: Consideration of the preliminary plan for Nash Street
Subdivision.
BACKGROUND: The property is located in the Town of Hillsborough on the
west side of North Nash Street (SR 1156) . The total acreage
of the tract is 2.8 acres. Nine (9) lots are proposed which
average 10.826 square feet in size. Hillsborough zoning
applicable to this site is Residential-10 . Adjacent land
uses are residential. The proposed lots will be served by a
public road built to NCDOT standards and maintained by the
Town. The Planning Department has received certification
from the Town of Hillsborough that public water and sewer
service is available to all nine lots.
All appropriate agencies have reviewed the preliminary plan
for Nash Street. The Hillsborough Township Advisory Council
commented that sidewalks would be appropriate in this area
of town. The TAC also expressed some concern with adequate
sight distance at the entrance of Glovina Lane onto Nash
Street.
NC Department of Transportation responded that the sight
distance is adequate for a 35 mile per hour zone. It was
also determined by DOT that the offset between West Queen
Street and Glovina Lane is acceptable since left turns onto
either street will not interfere with each other.
The Planning Staff has received correspondence from the Town
2
040 of Hillsborough stating that its Planning Board recommended
approval of the subdivision without conditions.
At its November 16. 1987 meeting. the Orange County Planning
Board approved the preliminary plat with the addition of the
following condition:
1. Inspect the site to determine if structures exist on
the property and indicate any significant structures;
i.e. , residences and large accessory buildings. on the
preliminary and final plats.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the preliminary
plan for Nash Street Subdivision as recommended by the
Planning Board.

Subject: Proposed Nash Street Subdivision Off SR 1156
Dear Ms. Crudup:
This is to advise the subject entrance onto Nash Street has been
approved.
After a review, it was determined the sight distance is adequate for
a 35 MPH zone. The offset of. Glovina Lane and Queen Street is designed so that
left turns onto one street will not be hindered by left turns onto the other.
Since there are only eight (8) lots, traffic should not be a problem.
Due to the road design, it is our understanding that this road will be
maintained by the Town and not the State.
If there are any questions, please advise.
Yours very truly,
J. . Mills, P. E.

This is to inform you that on Monday, October 12, 1987, the
Hillsborough Town Board granted preliminary approval for the extension
of water and sewer to serve the Nash Street Subdivision.
I am attaching a copy of the Town's engineer evaluation of that
project.

Re: Hillsborough, NC
Nash Street Subdivision
Water and Sewer Availability
Dear Harding:
We have completed our review of water and sewer service availability for the
proposed Nash Street subdivision. The proposed development is located on Nash Street
just north of Latimer Street and consists of nine (9) residential lots.
According to the Hillsborough water distribution system map, water is available
from the 6-inch water main on Nash Street. The small number of lots proposed for the
development will place a negligible demand an the existing system. Adequate water
service, therefore, is available to the proposed subdivision.
Since the lots are within the Town's corporate limits, fire protection must be
provided. The 'necessary fire flow for residential areas can be met by the existing
system. Hydrant spacing guidelines, however, require that all lots be within 300 feet
of a fire hydrant. To meet this requirement we recommend that a fire hydrant be
installed at the end of the cul-de-sac with a 6-inch water main extending to Nash
Street. The hydrant would serve a dual purpose as a blow-off point for the dead leg
water main section.
Sewer service is readily available to all lots within the subdivision. Analysis of
the topographic map for this area indicates that all lots can be served by gravity to
the existing 8-inch sewer line on the western edge of the property. The developer's
engineer must show the existing manhole inverts for that line on the project plans
when they are submitted for Town Board approval so that the final alignments and
grades can be checked.
I have kept the preliminary plat for the proposed project in case further
questions arise.= If you need the plat for any reason, or have questions about this
information please call me.
Sincerely,
1J

AGENDA ITEM #9: SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS
A. Preliminary Plats (Total - 21 Lots)
(1) Nash Street
(9 lots - Town of Hillsborough)
Presentation by Emily Crudup.
This agenda item is for the consideration of
the preliminary plan for Nash Street
Subdivision, property of Marvin McPherson.
The property is located in the Town of
Hillsborough on the west side of North Nash
Street (SR 1156) . The total acreage of the
tract is 2 .8 acres. Nine (9) lots are proposed
which average 10.826 square feet in size.
Hillsborough zoning applicable to this site is
Residential-10. Adjacent land uses are
residential. The nine proposed lots will be
served by a public road built to NCDOT
standards and maintained by the Town. The
Planning Department has received certification
from the Town of Hillsborough that public water
and sewer service is available to all nine
lots.
All appropriate agencies have reviewed the
preliminary plan for Nash Street. The
Hillsborough Township Advisory Council
commented that sidewalks would be appropriate
in this area of town. The TAC also expressed
some concern with adequate sight distance at
the entrance of Glovina Lane onto Nash Street.
NC Department of Transportation responded that
the sight distance is adequate for a 35 mile
per hour zone. It was also determined by DOT
that the offset between West Queen Street and
Glovina Lane is acceptable since left turns
onto either street will not interfere with each
other.
The Planning Staff has received verbal approval
of the proposed subdivision from the Town of
Hillsborough.
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the
preliminary plan for Nash Street subdivision.
051
Pilkey asked questions about a large house on
the tract and plans for removal, a large tree
which appeared it would need to be removed and
she also expressed a concern that a sufficient
portion of Latimer Street was not shown on the
plat.
Concerns were also expressed with the steepness
of the tract.
Crudup indicated the developer would be present
later in the meeting for questions.
MOTION: Margison moved to table Nash Street Subdivision
until 9: 00 in order for questions to .be asked
of the applicant. Seconded by Kramer.
VOTE: Unanimous.
The meeting reconvened after Mr. Heath' s
presentation with the Nash Street Subdivision.
The applicant was not available for questions
and comments.
Crudup noted the Board' s concerns with
topography and existing structures. She
indicated Staff could add as condition of
approval that all existing structures be shown
on the preliminary plat.
Pilkey expressed concern with the large tree
near the existing structure and the possibility
that it would require removal.
Crudup reminded the Board that the Town of
Hillsborough had given unanimous approval to
the subdivision.
MOTION: Yuhasz moved approval with the additional
condition that significant existing structures
be shown on the plat and that Latimer Street be
defined on the plat. Seconded by Pilkey.
Best asked if the detention pond was permanent.
Crudup responded yes. The need for fencing was
discussed.
Warren Faircloth, Erosion Control Officer,
indicated this would not be a pond to per-
manently hold water but he could require
fencing at final approval level.
VOTE: Unanimous.

on the Board' s agenda for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends initiation of legal proceed-
ings against James Grady.

PURPOSE: To consider a sight distance problem at the intersection of
Dawson Road (SR 1955) and Old Greensboro Road (SR 1005) .
BACKGROUND: On October 14, 1987, Mr. Steve Rogers corresponded with the
Planning Department regarding a sight distance problem at
the intersection of Dawson Road and Old Greensboro Road.
(See attached letter. )
On November 16, 1987, Eddie Kirk was directed to meet with
Mr. Mike Mills of the N.C. Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) to determine the extent of the problem and solutions
for same.
On November 20, 1987, Mr. Kirk responded, indicating that
there was a sight distance problem and the solution was
relocation of Dawson Road intersection 175 feet to the east.
Mr. Mills indicated he would determine if NCDOT could obtain
the necessary right-of-way.
Insofar as funding is concerned, the estimated cost is
$15, 000-$20,000. The intersection is a prime location for
funding under the Unpaved Road Improvements Fund or the
Minor Safety Fund. Mr. Mills indicated that a request could
be made to NCDOT, asking that that the project be scheduled
in the 1988-89 NCDOT budget and funded using one of the two
sources. The project could then be carried out, provided the
necessary right-of-way can be obtained.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Chair be authorized
061 to correspond with NCDOT, requesting that the Dawson Road
project be scheduled in the 1988-89 NCDOT budget with
funding from either the Unpaved Road Improvements Fund or
the Minor Safety Fund.

SUBJECT: Dawson Road (SR 1955) - Sight Distance Problem
DATE: November 20, 1987 -
This is in response to your memo of November 16. 1987
concerning the complaint by Mr. Steve Rogers about sight
distance problems as the intersection of Dawson Road (SR
1955) and Old Greensboro Road (SR 1005) .
I met with Mike Mills at the sight to discuss the
problem. We both agreed there was a problem with the sight
distance to the west and east from Dawson Road. Sight
distance to the west is approximately . 250 feet. however.
sight distance to the east is only 175 feet. Dawson Road is
an unpaved road, but traction was not a problem since Dawson
Road is paved for a distance of approximately 30 feet from
the Old Greensboro Highway.
After looking over the property Mike said the best and
only way he sees to alleviate the problem is to move the road
approximately 175 feet to the east. This would place the
road coming out at the top of a hill and provide adequate
sight distance in both directions. Only one property owner
would be affected by this move. however. Mike indicated that
they would have to get approval from this owner to relocate
the road. He indicated that NCDOT would be willing to go
ahead and see if they could obtain this approval. The
estimated cost of this move would range between 15 to 20
thousand dollars.

According to Mike this intersection would be a prime
location to use funds from either the unpaved road improve-
ments fund or the minor safety fund. There are no funds
presently available since these have been depleted for this
year. If the Commissioners would like to use money for this
improvement it would involve a simple process. The Commis-
sioners would need to send a letter to NCDOT requesting this
be scheduled in the 1988-89 NCDOT budget using one of the two
previously mentioned funds. NCDOT would then include it
provided the right-of-way can be obtained.
If I can provide any further information, please advise.

PURPOSE: Consideration of a proposed water and sewer policy for
Orange County.
This item was continued from the October 20, 1987 meeting.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Commissioners asked the Planning Board to
prepare recommendations concerning a water and sewer policy
for Orange County. On May 13, 1987, the Planning Director
presented background information regarding a policy draft to
the Natural Resources Subcommittee of the Planning Board.
Policy considerations were grouped under six topical
headings, including the following:
1. Water Supply
2. Delineation/Protection of Watersheds
3 . Sewage Disposal/Alternative Systems
4. Delineation of Water/Sewer Service Districts
5. Evidence of Service Capability/Capacity
6. Financial Participation
Financial participation was deleted from consideration by
the Planning Board, since the County Manager, Finance
Director and County Attorney were to prepare a policy draft
for the Commissioners review and approval.
Additions and amendments to the Planning Director's draft
were prepared by the Natural Resources Subcommittee and
070 presented to the Planning Board on June 9, 1987. The
Planning Board approved the proposed water/sewer policy
with only minor wording changes. The Planning Board Chair
subsequently recommended that a public hearing be held on
the proposed policy to receive utility provider and citizen
comment. Another purpose was to incorporate the proposed
policy into the Land Use Plan.
The proposed Water/Sewer Policy has been discussed by the
Board of Commissioners at its August 18, September 8 and
October 20 meetings. At the October 20, 1987 meeting, the
Board of Commissioners gave the Administration direction in
terms of financial participation by the County in
water/sewer extension projects. Subsequent to the meeting,
the proposed Water/Sewer Policy was drafted in "policy"
format.
A major difference in the original policy and the revised
version involves the organization and presentation of the
policies. Five major goals are proposed, divided into
general and specific topic areas. The goals and objective
topics are as follows:
I. Water Supply
a. General Policies
b. Watershed Protection Policies
II. Sewage Disposal
a. General Policies
b. Alternative Systems Policies
III. Urban Development
a. General Policies
b. Service Capability/Capacity Policies
c. Extension Policies
IV. County Involvement
a. General Policies
b. Application Policies
c. Project Selection Policies
V. Financial Participation
a. General Policies
b. Access and Availability Fee Policies
Following the editing procedure, it became evident
that the proposed policy was quite different in
format than that originally approved by the Planning
Board. For this reason, the revised proposal was
presented again to the Planning Board at its
November 16, 1987 meeting. The Board approved the
policy with minor revisions. These have been
incorporated into the attached document.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Board receive the
proposal as information and schedule a public hearing on the
proposed water/sewer policy for December 15, 1987.

PROPOSED 071
WATER AND SEWER POLICY
OF
ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
GOAL I - WATER SUPPLY
PROVIDE CLEAN AND SAFE WATER SUPPLIES AVAILABLE AND ADEQUATE
TO MEET THE FUTURE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF ORANGE COUNTY.
GenerAl Policies
1. Water supplies should be identified, developed and
managed by the County in conjunction with its
municipalities and surrounding jurisdictions so that
available resources are balanced with existing and
projected needs on a local and regional basis.
2. Water supply needs should be met in a manner consistent
with existing agricultural, water quality critical area,
environmental protection and buffer policies.
Watershed Protection Policies
1 . Watershed protection should be given a high priority in
any activity related to land use planning in Orange
County.
2. Prime reservoir sites should be designated, based on an
evaluation of water resources throughout the County, to
protect those areas from adverse development impacts and
to insure that inappropriate restrictions are not placed
on a large population of the land area and land
resources of the County.
3 . Policies should be adopted and implemented which specify
land use patterns and intensities of development in
water supply watersheds and water quality critical areas
that will minimize potential adverse impacts on water
quality.
4. Adequate protection standards should be delineated and
established for watersheds in unzoned portions of the
County.
5 . Programs which help to protect water quality, such as
the Soil Conservation Service and Sedimentation and
Erosion Control, should be supported.
6. A program of monitoring water quality in Orange County
streams should be established and funded in coordination
with other agencies. In conjunction therewith, an on-
site wastewater treatment inspection program within the
portions of water supply watersheds designated Water
Quality Critical Area should be established.
072 2
GOAL II - SEWAGE DISPOSAL
PROVIDE ADEQUATE AND APPROPRIATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL FACILITIES
FOR ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS.
General Policies
1. Sewage disposal needs should be met in a manner
consistent with existing agricultural. water quality
critical area. environmental protection and buffer
policies.
2 . The type of sewage disposal facilities appropriate for
an area should be identified as a function of the
magnitude of present and future demand; the distribution
of users; and the capacity of the natural environment to
absorb the impact.
3 . Discharges of any waste by a residence. place of
business or place of assembly shall be in accordance
with Article 11 (Sanitary Sewage Systems) of Chapter
130A of the General Statutes of North Carolina.
4. Where any waste is discharged into the OWASA. Durham.
Mebane or Hillsborough sewage treatment facilities by a
residence. place of business or place or assembly, it
shall be capable of being treated by biological means.
5 . On-site disposal should be encouraged in low-density and
rural areas where soil conditions are acceptable. In
rural areas with unacceptable soils. State-approved on-
site sewage disposal systems will be required.
6 . The buyers of property in the County should be fully
informed about the on-site sewage disposal characteris-
tics of the sites on their property.
Alternative Systems Policies
1. The use of alternatives to traditional septic systems
should be facilitated on land unsuitable for septic
tanks and not served by public sewer. The elimination
of administration and informational barriers to the use
of safe, sanitary alternative on-site disposal systems
within the County should be encouraged.
2. The use of private community treatment systems should be
discouraged as a means of sewage disposal throughout
Orange County.
a. Ground absorption sewage disposal systems of 3000
gallons per day or more design capacity, and
package treatment plants with a design capacity of
3000 gallons per day or less should be allowed only
in situations where the clustering of development
is utilized to occupy a smaller land area and/or
3073
only through Special Use Permit or Planned
Development approval procedures as set forth in the
Subdivision Regulations and/or Zoning Ordinance.
b. Ground absorption systems with a design capacity of
3,000 gallons per day or more and package treatment
plants for sanitary sewage disposal are expressly
prohibited in the Agricultural Residential (AR) ,
Rural Buffer (RB) , Water Supply Watershed (PW-II) ,
and Water Quality Critical Area (WQCA) districts as
shown in the Land Use Plan except as may be
approved through Special Use Permit or Planned
Development approval procedures.
3 . The responsibilities and duties adjunct to the operation
and maintenance of package sewage treatment plants
should be specified as a requirement to the permitting
process for such facilities in the Subdivision
Regulations and/or Zoning Ordinance.
GOAL III - URBAN DEVELOPMENT
ESTABLISH AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT PATTERN COMPATIBLE WITH THE
GOAL OF DIRECTING URBAN GROWTH TO AREAS WHERE IT IS DESIRABLE
AND CAN BE PRACTICALLY AND EFFICIENTLY SERVED BY WATER AND
SEWER FACILITIES.
General Policies
1. A cooperative joint planning process should be developed
and implemented among the County, its municipalities,
surrounding jurisdictions and utility providers
responsible for water and sewer lines to guide the
extension of lines in accordance with the land use plans
and policies of the affected jurisdictions.
2. Land in areas changing from rural to urban in character
and which could reasonably be developed to accommodate
urban-type densities should be designated as Transition
Areas in the Land Use Plan. Such lands are currently but
not completely served by urban systems such as water and
sewer lines. Transition Areas should be further
classified into Ten and Twenty-Year areas to reflect the
most appropriate sequence of development as the areas
change from rural to urban and services are extended.
3 . Intensive land uses should be directed to Transition
Areas and away from areas which are suitable for
continued agricultural uses and which are protected as
Water Supply Watersheds and Water Quality Critical
Areas.
4. Rural. low-density land surrounding Urban Areas. but
beyond the Transition Areas. should be designated as
Rural Buffer in the Land Use Plan. These areas will
074
4
remain rural in character, will not require urban
services and will maintain farming or rural non-farm
residential development as the most appropriate land
use.
5 . Land in areas suitable for low-density residential
development but not suited for agricultural uses, that
is is not dependent on urban services and to which urban
services will not be extended within the next twenty
years should be designated as Rural Residential in the
Land Use Plan.
6 . Land in areas where the prevailing land use activities
consist of agricultural and forestry and which should
continue in these uses should be designated as
Agricultural-Residential in the Land Use Plan.
Bervice Capability/Capacity Policies
1. In Urban. and Ten and Twenty-Year Transition Areas as
designated in the Land Use Plan. public and/or private
water and sewer lines should exist at the site or be
assured of installation as part of the development
process prior to the approval of any development
project.
"Assured of installation" shall mean that the
municipality. private association or water or sewer
authority to whose system the development project is to
be connected has reviewed and approved preliminary plans
for proposed water and/or sewer lines. the adequacy of
the existing system(s) to which the connection(s) will
be made. the capacity of existing water and/or sewer
treatment facilities. and the method of funding proposed
extensions of water and/or sewer lines.
Following review and approval of preliminary plans. the
board of directors or governing board of the
municipality, association or authority must have
approved. through formal resolution or other agreement,
the provision of water and/or sewer service to the
development project. Such approval may be contingent
upon the developer submitting final construction plans
for review and approval to the municipality. association
or authority as well as appropriate State and/or Federal
agencies.
"Development process" shall mean the commencement of
construction on the development project.
2. The lot size for a residence, place of business or place
of assembly shall be appropriate to the method of water
supply and sewage disposal.
3 . In cases where the construction and completion of a
development project would require water and/or sewer
permits granted by a local. State or Federal agency.
that agency shall officially approve by certificate or
permit the development project.
a. Plans for a proposed public or community sewage
system shall be approved by the Health Department
Director or the Division of Environmental
Management of the N.C. Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development, whichever is
appropriate.
Said system shall be completed according to the
approved plans. provided that where said
improvements are to be installed or constructed
subsequent to the approval of a final subdivision
plat. special use permit or planned development.
plans and specifications for said improvements
shall be approved by the appropriate agencies and
references to said improvements shall be made a
part of the final plat or permit.
b. Plans for proposed public or community water supply
systems shall be approved by the Health Department
Director or by the Division of Health Services of
the N.C. Department of Human Resources, whichever
is appropriate. The requirements for the approval
of plans are the same as for proposed public or
community sewage systems above.
Extension Policies
1. Urban service areas for Chapel Hill. Carrboro.
Hillsborough. Mebane. Durham and the service area of the
Orange-Alamance Water System should be established which
correspond with Urban. and Ten and Twenty-Year
Transition Areas as identified in the Land Use Plan.
Water and sewer lines should be directed to those areas
which contain and are appropriate for higher density
levels of residential. commercial and industrial
development.
2. The extension of public and/or private water and sewer
services in areas designated Water Supply Watershed.
Water Quality Critical Area and Rural Buffer in the Land
Use Plan shall be prohibited except to address public
health emergencies and hardships solely the result of
the inability to use the land proposed to be served by
said services.
3 . Development projects to be supplied by public and/or
private water and/or sewer service will not be approved
unless located in Urban. and Ten and Twenty-Year
Transition Areas as designated in the Land Use Plan or

line extended to address a public health emergency and
hardships solely the result of the inability to use the
land proposed to be served by said services.
Development project refers to any residence, place of
business or place of assembly. and any major or minor
subdivision, special use or planned development which
requires the approval of Orange County through
administration and enforcement of the N.C. State
Building Code or its Zoning and Subdivision Regulations.
4. Extensions of public or private water and/or sewer
services outside Urban, and Ten and Twenty-Year
Transition Areas adopted as part of the Land Use Plan
will not be funded by Orange County.
077
GOAL IV - COUNTY INVOLVEMENT
ESTABLISH A BASIS FOR ORANGE COUNTY' S INVOLVEMENT IN THE
PROVISION OF WATER AND/OR SEWER SERVICES AND FACILITIES
General Policies
1. Water and sewer utilities extended to a development
shall be based on good engineering practice and shall be
determined by the long-range plans of the utility system
to which they are connected. Utility extensions will be
considered by the County in conjunction with assessments
of potential growth and service need in the area.
2 . Eligible project expenses include engineering studies,
easement acquisition, water and sewer lines including
pipe and ancillary equipment such as water pumps, sewer
pumps, valves, pump houses, fire hydrants, and water and
sewer treatment plants as well as the actual
construction of these utilities.
3 . Major water and sewer utilities will be funded to a
reasonable point along the property line of an approved
project, within the limitations of available funds.
Major water and sewer extensions are defined as projects
where pipe sizes greater than eight (8) inches in
diameter are extended more than 750 feet beyond existing
facilities.
4. Water and sewer utilities must be built to the standards
and specifications of the municipality, private
association or water or sewer authority to whose system
they are connected.
5 . Where a public facility is to be served, advance
approval of the Board of Commissioners on the siting of
the facility and County participation shall be obtained.
The extent of County involvement shall be limited in
such instances to the extent that the facility will
benefit the residents of Orange County.
6. Orange County shall have title to any water and sewer
utilities which it funds; provided, however, such title
shall only be required where water/sewer lines are
extended beyond the existing utility service area of a
municipally or publicly-owned system. Where County
funding for projects outside an existing utility service
area are repaid, title to the water and sewer utilities
shall be granted to the municipal or public system. In
the latter case, the County may attach conditions to the
transfer of title which require that connections and/or
uses must be limited in such a manner to be consistent
with the Land Use Plan.
Application Policies
1. A request for funding water and sewer utilities may be
made by any individual, agency or corporation or any
municipality within Orange County; provided. however,
078 Orange County will enter into water/sewer supply and/or
treatment agreements only with public bodies.
2 . All requests for funding shall be made to the County
Manager' s Office and must be on file in advance of the
start of the budget process (February 1) , accompanied by
the required application material. (See Project
Selection Policies. )
3 . Upon receiving a request for water or sewer utilities,
the County Manager will gather the following
information:
a. A map and brief report identifying existing
anticipated areas of development that could be
served by the requested water or sewer utilities.
b. Approximate additional cost of installing oversized
utilities to serve the development in the area of
the proposed project.
c. Signed statement of the water or sewer service
provider to whose system the requested utilities
will be connected, stating their willingness to
serve the proposed project as well as any other
anticipated development in the area specified by
the County. The statement should attest to their
capabilities for meeting all the required needs of
utility services for the project including
foreseeable expansion as well as other existing and
potential development specified by the County in
the area of the project.
Project Selection Policies
1. Water and/or sewer projects to be funded will be
selected using the following criteria:
a. The project must be in conformance with the Orange
County Land Use Plan and Map.
b. The project must be outside a protected watershed
or where proposed to be within a protected
watershed, be able to show the proposed development
is compatible with maintaining water quality.
c. The project must have the proper zoning at the
proposed site.
d. The project must improve job opportunities
available to Orange County citizens, especially for
women and minorities unless there is a statement by
the project applicant that job opportunities
available for women and minorities will be equal to
those of other Orange County citizens.
e. The project must provide jobs above the prevailing
wage scale in the County.
f. The project must not place an inordinant demand on
County services such as schools, fire and police

General Policies
1. Orange County' s investment is restricted to and where it
issues its bonds for projects which have a relation to
safeguarding the public health. safety and general
welfare. Orange County will not participate in projects
which will benefit exclusively private interests. Public
expenditures shall further be limited to projects in
approved service areas (Ten and Twenty-Year Transition
Areas designated on the Land Use Plan) and/or for which
which there is County funding responsibility.
2. Upon a decision by the Board of Commissioners that
funding for a project is available and that criteria for
approval have been met. the basis for County
participation shall be on a pay-back basis.
3. Water and/or sewer extensions for the purpose of
addressing a public health hazard may be financed by
the following means:
a. Revolving fund;
b. State/Federal grants and loans; and/or
c. General Fund and Enterprise Fund contributions.
(Includes both capital and operating funds)
General Fund contributions. both capital and operating,
will be used only if funding cannot be obtained from

Fund. In all other cases, funds received through an
approved pay-back schedule shall be paid into a Capital
Reserve Fund. All "pay-backs" shall include interest at
the rate charged for assessments under N.C. General
Statute 153A-185 or, in the event that the County
borrows money for the extension, at the rate paid by the
County on the debt.
6. Orange County' s financial participation for approved
projects which are extensions to an existing County-
owned system shall be limited to those extensions where

PROPOSED 081
WATER AND SEWER POLICY
OF
ORANGE COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA
(1) Water Supply/Sewage Disposal
The Planning Board recommends that Orange County
take an active role with its municipalities and
surrounding jurisdictions in developing and
managing water supplies and sewage disposal on a
local and regional basis. The Planning Board
further recommends that Orange County meet its
water supply and sewage disposal needs in a manner
consistent with existing agricultural. water
quality critical area. environmental protection and
buffer policies.
These recommendations are based on the following
goals:
(a) Provide clean and safe water supplies avail-
able and adequate to meet future needs of the
residents of Orange County. (LUP)
(b) Identify. develop and manage Orange County' s
water supplies so that available resources are
balanced with existing and projected needs on
a local and regional basis. (LUP)
(2) Delin__at19n/Protec4l9U of Watershs��
The Planning Board feels that watershed protection
should be given high priority status in the Land
Use Plan update. particularly since Orange County
has historically been in the forefront of watershed
protection. Consistent with this tradition. the
Planning Board recommends that adequate watershed
protection: .- standards be established in unzoned
portions of the County. The delineation and
protection of such watersheds has been partially
addressed in the Land Use Plan and will be further
in the Plan update. However. there is an immediate
need to establish a policy extending watershed
protection standards to watersheds regardless of
zoning classification.
This recommendation is based on and in support of
the following goals:
(a) Designate prime reservoir sites. based on an
evaluation of water resources throughout the
082 2
County. to protect those areas from adverse
development impacts and to insure that
inappropriate restrictions are not placed on a
large population of the land area and land
resources of the County. (LUP)
(b) Adopt and implement policies which specify
land use patterns and intensities of develop-
ment in water supply watersheds and water
quality critical areas that will minimize
potential adverse impacts on water quality.
(LUP)
(c) Support programs which help to protect water
quality. such as the Soil Conservation Service
and Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Programs. (LUP)
(d) Encourage efforts to monitor the quality of
water in Orange County streams. (LUP)
(3) Sewage Disposal/Alternative Systems.
To insure adequate and appropriate sewage disposal
facilities for all current and future residents,
the Planning Board recommends that the use of
private community treatment systems be discouraged
as a means of sewage disposal throughout Orange
County, and that they be allowed only in situations
where clustering is followed and/or only through
Special Use Permit or Planned Development approval
procedure.
To provide for the protection of designated water
supply watersheds. the Planning Board recommends
that Orange County establish and fund, in coordina-
tion with other agencies, a program of monitoring
water quality in Orange County streams.
Furthermore. Orange County should establish an on-
site wastewater treatment inspection program within
the portions of water supply watersheds designated
Water Quality Critical Areas.
To provide for and assist in the implementation of
the above recommendations. the Planning Board
recommends that the County staff be directed to
identify the type of sewage disposal facilities
appropriate for an area as a function of the
magnitude of present and future demand; the
distribution of users; and the capacity of the
natural environment to absorb the impact.
These recommendations are based on and in support
of the following goals:
3Q8d
(a) Provide adequate and appropriate sewage
disposal facilities for all current and future
residents. (LUP)
(b) Identify the type of sewage disposal facili-
ties appropriate for an area as a function of
the magnitude of present and future demand;
the distribution of users; and the capacity of
the natural environment to absorb the impact.
(LUP)
(c) Develop a process to ensure that buyers of
property in the County are fully informed
about the on-site sewage ,disposal characteris-
tics of the sites on their property. (LUP)
(d) Allow on-site disposal in low-density and
rural areas where soil conditions are
acceptable. In rural areas with unacceptable
soils. State-approved on-site sewage disposal
systems will be required. (LUP)
(e) Facilitate the use of alternatives to the
traditional septic systems on land unsuitable
for septic tanks and not served by public
sewer. Elimination of administration and
informational barriers to the use of safe.
sanitary alternative on-site disposal systems
within the County should be encouraged. (LUP)
(f) Allow ground absorption sewage disposal
systems of 3000 gallons per day or more design
capacity and package treatment plants with a
design capacity of 3000 gallons per day or
less as appropriate only in the areas
designated Ten and Twenty Year Transition and
Rural Residential. (LUP)
(g) Develop and implement a process whereby the
responsibilities and duties adjunct to the
operation and management of package sewage
treatment plants are specified as a require-
ment to the permitting process for such
facilities. (LUP)
(h) Prohibit package sewage treatment plants in
the areas designated Water Supply Watershed.
(LUP)
(i) Establish an on-site wastewater treatment
inspection program within the portions of
water supply watersheds designated as Water
Quality Critical Areas. (LUP)

(j) No permitted use in any district shall
discharge any waste contrary to the provisions
of G.S. 130-160 . (Z0-6 .14.10)
(k) No permitted principal use. special use or
accessory use shall discharge into the OWASA.
Durham or Hillsborough sewage treatment
facilities any waste that cannot be treated by
biological means. (Z0-6 .14 .10)
(1) Ground absorption systems with a design
capacity of 3.000 gallons per day or more and
package treatment plants for sanitary sewage
disposal are expressly , prohibited in the
Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Buffer
(RB) districts as shown in the Land Use Plan
except as may be approved through a Special
Use Permit or a Planned Development District.
(Z0-6 .20)
(4) Delineation of Water/Sewer Service Districts.
The Planning Board recommends that Orange County
immediately establish as a matter of policy that it
will not approve any development project to be
supplied by water and/or sewer service unless
located in a water/sewer service district
incorporated into the Land Use Plan and appropriate
ordinances. following public hearing and citizen
comment.
The Planning Board further recommends that, except
in emergency situations, Orange County neither fund
nor support extensions of public or private
water/sewer services outside service areas adopted
as part of the Land Use Plan. Furthermore. where
County funds are used. in whole or in part, to
finance extensions of such services, it shall
retain some authority to determine the disposition
of utility services provided.
These recommendations are based on and in support
of the following goals:
(a) Provide water and sewer lines in those areas
which can be practically and efficiently
served by these facilities. (LUP)
(b) Develop and implement a cooperative joint
planning process among the County, its
municipalities, surrounding jurisdictions and
utility providers responsible for water and
sewer lines to guide the extension of lines in
5 085
accordance with the land use plans and
policies of the affected jurisdictions. (LUP)
(c) Establish Urban Service Areas for Chapel Hill.
Carrboro. Hillsborough. Mebane. Durham and the
service area of the Orange-Alamance Water
System which will correspond with the 10-year
and 20-year Transition Areas. Water and sewer
lines should be directed to those areas which
contain and are appropriate for higher density
levels of residential. commercial and
industrial development. (LUP)
(d) Identify (sewer) service by centralized water
and sewer systems (Towns of Hillsborough and
Mebane. Orange-Alamance Water Systems
Incorporated and Orange Water and Sewer
Authority) as most appropriate at the higher
density levels which occur in the Urban and
Transition Areas. (LUP)
(e) Prohibit the establishment of public water and
sewer services in the areas designated Water
Quality Critical Area and Rural Buffer. except
to address emergency situations. (LUP)
(5) gv_idence of Service Capability/Cppacity.
(a) Urban services. including water distribution
and sewage collection mains. are not likely
within 10-20 years. (ZO-4.2 .1)
(b) Water and sewer lines should exist at the site
or be assured of installation as part of the
development process. (ZO-4.2 .4)
(c) Lot size for individual uses shall be
appropriate to the method of water supply and
sewage disposal. (ZO-4.2 .9)
(d) In cases where the completion and development
of the subdivision would require permits
granted by an agency. that agency shall
officially approve by certificate or permit
the subdivision proposal. (SR-III-D-4-A)
(e) Plans for a proposed public or community
sewage system shall be approved by the Health
Department Director or the Division of
Environmental Management of Natural and
Economic Resources. whichever is appropriate.
Said system shall be completed according to
the approved plans. provided that where said
improvements are to be installed or
08i6 6
constructed subsequent to the approval of the
Final Plat, plans and specifications for said
improvements shall be approved by the
appropriate agencies and references to said
improvements shall be made a part of the Final
Plat. (SR-V-C-1-a)
(f) Plans for proposed community water supply
systems shall be approved by the Health
Department Director or by the Division of
Health Services, Department of Human
Resources, whichever is appropriate.
(Requirements for approval of plans same as
for proposed public or community sewage
systems. ) (SR-V-D-1)
(6) Basis fp/ County Involvement in Water/Sewer
Extensions
(a) A request for funding water and sewer
utilities under the terms of this policy may
be made by any individual, agency or
corporation or any municipality within Orange
County; provided, however, Orange County will
enter into water/sewer supply and/or treatment
agreements only with public bodies. All
requests shall be made to the County Manager' s
Office accompanied by the required application
material (WSP) .
All applications must be on file in the County
Manager' s Office in advance of the start of
the budget process (February 1) .
Upon receiving a request for water or sewer
utilities, the County Manager will gather the
following information:
- A map and brief report identifying existing
anticipated areas of development that could
be served by the requested water or sewer
utilities.
- Approximate additional cost of installing
oversized utilities to serve the development
in the area of the proposed project.
- Signed statement of the water or sewer
service provider to whose system the
requested utilities will be connected,
stating their willingness to serve the
proposed project as well as any other
anticipated development in the area
specified by the County. The statement
O8 7
7
should attest to their capabilities for
meeting all the required needs of utility
services for the project including
foreseeable expansion as well as other
existing and potential development specified
by the County in the area of the project.
(WSP)
(b) It shall be the policy of Orange County to
restrict its investment to and where it issues
its bonds for projects which have a relation
to safeguarding the public health. safety and
general welfare. Orange County will not
participate in projects will benefit
exclusively private interests. Public
expenditures shall further be limited to
projects in approved service areas (10-20
Transition Areas designated on the Land Use
Plan) and/or for which which there is County
funding responsibility.
Where a public facility is to be served.
advance approval of the Board of Commissioners
on the siting of the facility and County
participation shall be obtained. The extent of
County involvement shall be limited in such
instances to the extent that the facility will
benefit the residents of Orange County.
(c) It shall be the policy of Orange County to
fund major water and sewer utilities to a
reasonable point along the property line of an
approved project. within the limitations of
available funds. Major water and sewer
extensions are defined as projects where pipe
sizes greater than eight (8) inches in
diameter are extended more than 750 feet
beyond existing facilities. (WSP)
In selecting projects to be funded. the
following criteria will be used. Any project
must:
- Be in conformance with the Orange County
Land Use Plan.
- Be outside a protected watershed or where
proposed to be within a protected watershed.
be able to show the proposed development is
compatible with maintaining water quality.
- Have the proper zoning at the proposed site.
- Improve job opportunities available to
086 8
Orange County citizens. especially for women
and minorities in the absence of a showing
by the project applicant that job
opportunities available for women and
minorities will be equal to those of other
Orange County citizens.
- Provide jobs above the prevailing wage scale
in the County.
- Not place an inordinant demand on County
services such as schools, fire and police
protection.
- Provide a significant increase in the County
tax base. (WSP)
(d) Orange County will participate in the funding
of project engineering studies, easement
acquisition, water and sewer lines including
pipe and ancillary equipment such as water
pumps. sewer pumps. valves. pump houses. fire
hydrants. and water and sewer treatment plants
as well as the actual construction of these
utilities. (WSP)
(e) Where a project is approved but funding is not
immediately available. it will be placed on a
priority waiting list based on its approval
date. (WSP)
(f) It shall be the policy of Orange County to
have title to any water and sewer utilities
which it funds; provided. however. such title
shall only be required where water/sewer lines
are extended beyond the existing utility
service area of a municipally or publicly
owned system. Where County funding for
projects outside an existing utility service
area are repaid. title to the water and sewer
utilities shall be granted to the municipal or
public system. In the latter case. the County
may attach conditions to the transfer of title
which require that connections and/or uses
must be limited in such a manner to be
consistent with the Land Use Plan. (WSP)
(g) It shall be the policy of Orange County to
require that water and sewer utilities will be
built to the standards and specifications of
the municipality. private association or water
or sewer authority to whose system they are
connected. (WSP)
9 08E
(h) Water and sewer utilities extended to a
development under this policy shall be based
on good engineering practice and shall be
determined by the long-range plans of the
utility system to which they are connected in
conjunction with assessments of potential
growth and service need in the area as
determined by Orange County. (WSP)
(7) Financing Approach
(a) It is the policy of Orange County to establish
and maintain a Capital Reserve Fund for the
purpose of either financing or paying for
water and sewer extensions to approved
projects; provided, however. any extension to
a County-owned system may be financed by the
Capital Reserve Fund or an Enterprise Fund
established to account for the County-owned
system. The County will not borrow money for
such extensions except in the case of a public
health emergency or where the proposed
extension is to an existing County-owned
system. (WSP)
(b) Upon a decision by the Board of Commissioners
that funding for a project is available and
that criteria for approval have been met, the
basis for County participation shall be on a
pay-back basis.
All funds received from the operation of a
County-owned system shall be paid into an
Enterprise Fund. In all other cases, funds
received through an approved pay-back schedule
shall be paid into the Capital Reserve Fund.
All payments shall include interest at the
rate charged for assessments under N.C.
General Statute 153A-185 or. in the event that
the County borrows money for the extension. at
the rate paid by the County on the debt.
(c) Orange County' s financial participation for
approved projects not owned by the County
shall not exceed the estimated increase in ad
valorem tax yields from the project the six
years following its completion. The method of
calculating the ceiling for County funding of
any one project should not be construed as
establishing the eligibility of a project for
funding or the method of repayment to the
revolving fund (Capital Reserve Fund) . The
following is a sample calculation:
10
090 $1 ,400,000 - Estimated value of land and
building
128,000 - minus land value
$1,272.000 - Estimated value of buildings
$.544/5100 - Valuation tax rate
S 6.920 - Tax return from each project year
$41,518 - Tax return for six years equals
maximum County funding
Orange County' s financial participation for
approved projects which are extensions to an
existing County-owned system shall be limited
to those extensions where projected revenues
from the system are equal to or greater than
the projected operating , costs plus the total
debt service by the beginning of the third
year after the project is completed. Within
limits prescribed by the Board of
Commissioners from time-to time. the amount of
financial participation shall not exceed the
capital amount necessary to extend the system
to meet the projections. All projections shall
be those approved by the Board of
Commissioners and prepared by an engineer
employed by Orange County.
(d) A fee schedule for access and availability
fees shall be developed. Where properties
along a County-owned portion of a utility
extension wish to connect to the utility. an
access and availability fee shall be charged
and approved by the Board of Commissioners.
The owner of a large acreage tract or bona
fide farm may select one acre. usually
surrounding his or her house. to which the
access and availability fees will be applied.
If later the property is subdivided. the fees
will be applied and charged for the remainder
of the tract. (WSP)
(e) Any access and availability fees charged by
another utility provider shall paid by the
user in addition to those fees charged by
Orange County.
(f) It shall be Orange County policy to require
that when a County-financed water or sewer
extension is connected to a municipally-owned
and operated water or sewer system. then the
municipality shall enter into an agreement
with the County providing that in the event
the project served is annexed by the
municipality. it shall pay to the County any
11491
County share of the project not recovered by
the development.

1. PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER POLICY
Planning Director Marvin Collins explained that two documents are
included in the agenda. One is the proposed water/sewer policy as
approved by the Planning Board and the second is a list of those comments
developed by the County Manager, County Attorney, Finance Director and
Planning Director.
Discussion ensued on the proposed policy and the Board members
asked that the following changes be made to the proposed policy.
(1) Section 4 - define the term "development project".
(2) Identify water/sewer service districts in terms of a ten and
twenty year transition area.
(3) Section 6 - define what the policy will apply to in terms of
projects - public projects to address a public health need or
if it would include other developments as well.
(4) Determine the extent of the involvement of private utility
providers and whether or not they would be permitted to enter
into agreements with the County.
(5) Determine the relationship of this policy to Impact Fees and
financing methods.
(6) Section 6 - regarding the improvement of job opportunities
change the wording from "in the absence of" to "unless there
is a statement" .
(7) Section 6 - add to last paragraph in (c) "revenues which are
in excess to the cost of services".
(8) Develop a set of criteria for other public projects as
opposed to those that are private in nature.
It was the consensus of the Board that the policy be reworked to
include the comments made by the members of the Board and brought back to
them at the October 20 meeting for additional comments to be presented at
the November quarterly public hearing for citizen comments.
2 . SYCAMORE HILL PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Greg Szymik presented for consideration of approval the Prelimi-
nary Plan for Sycamore Hill Subdivision. The property is located in
Bingham Township on Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) . The developer is propos-
ing a private Class B road (Thistle Trail) to serve the development. The
property is zoned Rural Buffer (R-B) and designated Rural Buffer in the
Orange County Land Use Plan. The County Manager recommends approval with
the following three conditions:
1. Payment-in--lieu of dedicated open space in the amount of
$459.
2. Indicate the location of an existing building on the plat.
3. Development of thistle Trail as a public road in accordance
with NCDOT standards.
A brief discussion was held on the issue of private versus public
roads and the manner in which the ordinance should be interpreted versus
how it had been interpreted.
Lisa Pakenham, developer, indicated she had

Chair Marshall explained that when the Ordinance was adopted it
was adopted with the intent that all roads be public roads. During the
last two years an enormous number of private roads have been approved.

Tara Fikes reported that the purpose of this program is to assist
families and individuals who are homeless primarily due to their economic
circumstances. These grants will be awarded to local governments to help
improve the quality and availability of emergency shelters and services
for the homeless in their communities.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey► seconded by Commissioner
Halkiotis to approve the submission of an Emergency Shelter Grant appli-
cation and to authorize the Chair to sign.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
I) 2 . WATER AND SEWER PQUJCY
Planning Director Marvin Collins presented for discussion an
outline for the Water and Sewer Policy. Three topics were listed: (1)
public health hazard, (2) economic development and (3) requirement of
consistency with the Orange County Land Use Plan. The same questions were
listed for each topic. Collins indicated that the answers to these basic
questions would help in developing a water and sewer policy for the
County.
County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill stated that the Orange County
Land Use Plan and Map could be made a part of any decision. The water and
sewer policy could include the Land Use Plan and the Map. He noted that he
has never seen the Efland Sewer line and the Land Use Plan in an overlay
that would show the implications of the two decisions.
Chair Marshall emphasized the importance of any project being
consistent with the Land Use Plan and that all projects should be reviewed
by the Planning Board prior to being considered by the Board.
RESERVOIR_ REPOJtT FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN HARTWELL.
Commissioner Hartwell distributed copies of the draft preliminary
report from Hazen and Sawyer on the Reservoir Site Study. He listed the
finding as detailed in the report summary.
Discussion ensued on the possibility of bringing water over from
Jordan Lake. Chair Marshall stated a concern about the water quality and
stated her desire not to bring water from the Jordan until more is known
about the Haw River water.
Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by
Commissioner Willhoit to write a letter to Chatham County government to
explore the possibilities of forming an alliance and a procedure for
0 proceeding. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
WATER AND SEWER POLICY
There was a consensus that any water and sewer policy should
include a requirement of consistency with the Orange County Land Use Plan
and Map.
Chair Marshall stated that policies on "Public Health Hazards"

that the County will participate in water/sewerpprojects.The Board agreed
The Board favored county financial participation in water/sewer
projects through a revolving fund. The County Attorney stated that such
money could come from the general fund or an enterprise fund.
It
for that
next�yearhes will need to be developed before
the budget
Chair Marshall referred to a prior proposal of a revolving fund
for Economic Development being established with an allocation of $50,000
each year for five years. The limit of participation in economic
development would be limited by the amount of money in the revolving fund.
Commissioner Halkiotis stressed the importance of the Board
getting involved in bringing meaningful economic development to the
County. High quality development can only enhance the tax base in Orange
County. g
Commissioner Willhoit stated he favored an enterprise fund for
economic development with an amount to be determined at a later date.
Chair Marshall emphasized the importance of knowing what money
may be available so that a response can be made at the time a request is
received.
Geoffrey Gledhill expressed two concerns about the Efland Sewer
Project and noted that a decision needs to be made by the Board on these
two items:
(1) Whether or not the plans to develop the Efland Sewer Line are
consistent with the Land Use Plan, and
(2) whether or not the Board would be willing to do things to
expand the Efland line consistent with the plan that it would not

should read as follows:
The use of private community treatment systems
should be discouraged as a means of sewage
disposal throughout Orange County.
On page 3 . 2a. should read as follows:
a. Ground absorption sewage disposal systems of
3000 gallons per day or more design capacity,
and package treatment plants with a design
capacity of 3000 gallons per day or less should
be allowed only in situations where the
clustering of development is utilized to occupy
a smaller land area, and only through Special
Use Permit or Planned Development approval
procedures as set forth in the Subdivision
Regulations and/or Zoning Ordinance.
On page 3 ► 2b. should read as follows:
b. Ground absorption systems with a design
capacity of 3.000 gallons per day or more and
package treatment plants for sanitary- sewage
disposal are expressly prohibited in the
Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Buffer
(RB) , Water Supply Watershed (PW-II) and Water
Quality Critical Area (WQCA) districts as shown
in the Land Use Plan except as may be approved
through a Special Use Permit or a Planned
Development District.

PURPOSE: To consider releasing funds from the Commissioners Contigency
to implement the Animal Control Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Implementation of the County's Animal Control Ordinance,
effective January 1, 1988, will impact the structure and
operation of the Animal Control Program. The Animal Control
Task Force, on April 16, 1987, made several recommendations to
the Board of Commissioners regarding the Program. In part,
they recommend that:
- Animal Control should have division status with the Health
Department;
- A professionally trained and experienced Director of
Animal Control should be hired;
- A comprehensive Ordinance be adopted and enforced;
- A comprehensive public education program be implemented;
- An accessible and affordable spay/neuter program be
established;
- Incentives for pet population control and ordinance
compliance be offered; and
- Sufficient staff, facilities and equipment be provided.
100
In June the Board adopted the Animal Control Ordinance.
County Administration advised that a determination on
implementation costs had not been made. The issue of
implementation was referred to the Health Board. Based on a
thorough review of the existing Animal Control operating
budget, staff and equipment allocation, the Board of Health
has determined that $21,330 additional dollars are needed to
implement the Ordinance. A financial breakdown of proposed
expenditures is attached.
The current balance in the Commissioners Contingency is
$50, 000.
RECOMMENDATION: The Health Board recommends that $16, 330 be released from
the Commissioners Contingency to implement the new
Ordinance.

Hillsborough , N.C. 27278
Dear Members of the Board of Commissioners:
RE: Action Agenda Item #G5 for the December 1 , 1987
Meeting -- Dawson Road/Sight Distance Problem
This is to acknowledge our thanks and appreciation to the
Orange County Board of Commissioners for approving the
recommendation that the Chair be authorized to correspond with
NCDOT, requesting that the Dawson Road project be scheduled in
the 1988-89 NCDOT budget with funding from either the Unpaved
Road Improvements Fund or the Minor Safety Fund" .
Although we are residents of Dawson Road and were present
as interested observers at the December 1 meeting , we were not
prepared to make a statement at the time; however , two very
important items should have been mentioned or , at least , should
be with The Board ' s file on this agenda item:
( 1 ) Dawson Road (SR 1955) is only one road over from
Crawford Dairy Road which has been the tragic site of two
fatal car accidents this past year , resulting in the loss
of three loved ones from the community. The NCDOT has installed
a blinking caution light at that intersection, and it is hoped
that it will help prevent another fatality.
(2) Dawson Road (SR 1955) is the home for several families
with school-age children and there are two county school buses
that must enter and exit from this road onto Old Greensboro
Road each school day. The most dangerous time for these buses and
their precious "passengers"E our children] is, of course, early
a.m. when there is heavy work traffic. Although we have not asked
the bus drivers about their fears, we believe them to be as great
as those of us driving smaller cars or trucks each day: we fear
for our lives, those of our families and friends, those of our
neighbors, but especially those of our children.
Again, thank you for approving this recommendation.
Sincerely,
4.1\66

CERTIFICATE AS TO ARBITRAGE
We, Shirley Marshall and Kenneth T. Chavious, the Chairman
of the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North
Carolina (the "County") and the Interim Finance Director for
Count the
y, being duly charged with others with responsibility for
issuing the $200, 000 Sanitary Sewer Bond Anticipation Notes o
the County, of
y, date December 16, 1987 and maturing on March 16, 1988
(the ."New Notes") , to be delivered this day, DO HEREBY CERTIFY,
pursuant to sections 1. 103-13, 1. 103-14 and 1. 103-15 of the
Treasury Regulations and under Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") , as follows:
1. The New Notes will be exchanged, par for par, for the
$200, 000 Sanitary Sewer Bond Anticipation Note of the Count
dated June 29, 1987 and County,
maturing December 16, 1987 (the "Maturing
Notes") which Maturing Notes were issued for the purpose of
providing funds for paying (a) a portion of the cost of
constructing a portion of a sanitary sewer system for the Count
including the construction of sewage collector, interceptor and
y,
force mains and lines, sewage p
g pumping facilities and appurtenant
facilities, the construction of a sewage main to transport sews
to the sanitary sewer system of the Town of Hillsborough for sewage
treatment and the acquisition of any necessary land, rights of
. way and equipment therefor (the "Project") and b
accounting and financing expenses incurred and (b) certain legal,
d �.n connection with the
issuance of the Maturing Notes (the "Issuance Expenses"
2 . The estimated total cost of the Project and the Issu-
ance Expenses will be at least $1,589, 045. Said total cost is
expected to be financed by the County from the proceeds derived
from the sale of the _Maturing Notes, investment earnings thereon
the proceeds of state and federal grants and certain other moneys
of the County. ys
3 . As of the date hereof, all of the proceeds of Notes and investment earnings thereon have been
the
en
expended.
4 . The County does not expect to sell or otherwise dispose
of any property comprising g a part of the Project prior to March
16, 1988, the maturity date of the New Notes, except such mino r
parts or portions thereof as may be disposed of due to normal
wear, obsolescence or depreciation in the ordinary course of
business.
5. The County has entered into binding contracts or
commitments obligating the expenditure of not less than $100, 000
toward the cost of the Project. Work on the Project commenced
or about Jul 20, 1987 and will on
July proceed with due diligence to the
completion thereof presently expected on or about January 20,
1988.
6. On the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances
in existence on the date hereof, which is the date on which
New Notes are to be delivered (the "date of issue") , the
reasonably ) � we
y ex P ect that there will be no original or transferred
proceeds of the New Notes available for investment.
7• It is expected that the
P proceeds of the sale of the
bonds in anticipation of the receipt of which the New Notes
are
being issued will be used to pay the principal of the New Notes that amounts on deposit to the credit of the General °tes
the County will be used to pay the interest al Fund of
nterest on the New Notes.
8. There are no funds or accounts established by the
Count, which are reasonably expected to be used directly y to pay y or
P y debt service on the New Notes or which are
Pledged as..security for the New Notes and for which there is a
reasonable assurance that amounts therein will be available to
pay debt service on the New Notpc 4f a.u._ .
, 9. No portion of the proceeds of the New Notes and any
amounts received from the investment of such proceeds will be
used in the place of funds that are (a) now available or that
will become available to the County to pay the costs of the
Project or the Issuance Expenses and (b) will be used directly or
indirectly to acquire obligations producing a yield in excess of
the yield on the New Notes.
10. For purposes of this certificate, "yield" means that
yield which when used in computing the present worth, based on
annual computations of interest, of all payments of principal and
interest to be paid on an obligation produces an amount equal to
the purchase price of the obligation. The yield on any
obligations acquired with proceeds of the New Notes and the yield
on the New Notes shall be calculated by the use of the same
frequency interval of compounding interest. For purposes of
calculating the yield on the New Notes, the purchase price of the
New Notes is the price paid by the first buyer of the New Notes
(excluding bond houses, brokers and other intermediaries) plus
any accrued interest.
11. The resolution providing for the issuance of the New
Notes passed on December, 1987 by the Board of Commissioners for
the County, represents that
p (i) the County is a governmental unit
with general taxing powers, (ii) none of the New Notes is a
private-activity bond (as defined in the Code) , (iii) 95 percent
or more of 'the net proceeds of the New Notes are to be used for
local governmental activities of the County, (iv) the aggregate
face amount of all tax-exempt obligations (other than private-
activity bonds) issued by the County and all subordinate entities
thereof during calendar year 1987 is reasonably expected not to
exceed $5, 000, 000 and (v) to the best of the County's knowledge,
there Are
12. There is no other governmental obligation of the County
that (i) has been or will be issued at substantially the same
time as the New Notes, (ii) has been or will be sold pursuant to
a common plan of financing together with the New Notes and (iii)
will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds (or
will have substantially the same claim to be paid out of
substantially the same source of funds) as the New Notes.
13 . To the best of our knowledge, information and belief,
the above expectations are reasonable.
14 . The County has not been notified of any listing or pro-
posed listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as an issuer
whose nonarbitrage certificates may not be relied upon.

day of December 1987.

Dear Mr. Mills:
On October 14 , 1987 , Mr. Steve Rogers corresponded with
the Planning Department regarding a sight distance problem at
the intersection of Dawson Road and Old Greensboro Road. In
response to this concern Eddie Kirk from the Planning Depart-
ment met with you at the site to discuss the problem.
According to Mr. Kirk the mutually agreed on solution was to
relocate the Dawson Road intersection approximately 175 feet
to the east. This of course would be contingent upon NCDOT
being able to - obtain the necessary right-of-way to move the
road. Mr. Kirk indicated---that you would go ahead and deter-
mine if you .. . could... obtain the right-of-way since it would
involve only one :. property_ owner. ..-- You_ -ind icated the cost to
relocate this - road- would°-:range from $13,000 to $20, 000 and
that this intersection i.s.•a -- _prime location to use available
funds. - - -. _ - -
Based on this information, the County Commissioners on
December 1 , 1987 passed 6-- motion to request - the Dawson Road
project be scheduled in- th ' 1988-89 NCDOT budget with funding
to be provided from either the Unpaved Road improvements Fund
or the Minor Safety Fund. Again, this is with the
understanding that the right-of-way is obtained.
If there are any questions concerning this action by the
Board, please contact me at your convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Marshall:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter. of. December 21, 1987,
regarding the proposed. intersection improvement- of SR 1005 and SR- 1955 (Dawson
Road) in Orange County.
I have talked to Mr. James S. McNider, the property owner of the land
that will be affected by the relocation of the entrance of SR 1955, at least on
two occasions regarding this project.
It is my understanding from Mr. McNider that he is presently in the
process of selling this piece of property, and he does not wish to divide this
property at.lrhis time by constructing a road through it.
Perhaps, when this property has been sold, the new owner will allow
this project to be undertaken.
Thank you and. the remaining County Commissioners for their interest.
in highway safety and support: in this project-. It is certainly a worthy
candidate for minor safety funds.
If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, do
not hesitate to contact this office.
Yours very truly,

PUBLIC PROCLAMATION
Orange County has been notified by Orange Water and
Sewer Authority that with the combination of recent rainfall
and the forecast of normal rainfall for the forthcoming
winter months, the water level of University Lake is now
above the State II level in accordance with the County's
Water Conservation Ordinance.
As Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, I hereby
rescind the mandatory Stage II water restrictions imposed
August 4, 1987 for those citizens who live in. the County
portion of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority service area
and use water obtained for the public water system supplied
by that water authority and from any raw water supply within
Orange County used by the water authority.
I thank the citizens of Orange County in the OWASA
service area for their cooperation during this past crisis.
Effective this first day of December, 1987.

Dear Chair Marshall:
On August 4, 1987 Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) requested the
implementation of Stage I voluntary water conservation measures under Orange
County's Water Conservation Ordinance. This action was requested as a
precautionary measure to assure our community of an adequate supply of water
during the traditionally dry summer and fall months.
The recent rainfall has substantially improved the local water supply outlook.
Our community's water supply reservoirs (University Lake, Stone Quarry Reservoir
and Cane Creek Temporary Impoundment) are presently more than 80% full and it is
expected that they will return to full levels during the next few months. Based
on OWASA's review of the water supply model and drought management strategy
developed by Dr. David Moreau, Director of the North Carolina Water Resources
Research Institute, it has been determined that the formal request for voluntary
water conservation measures is no longer needed. In light of the improved water
supply situation, you are hereby requested to issue a proclamation lifting the
Stage I request for voluntary conservation measures.
I am pleased to inform you that construction of the Cane Creek Reservoir is
proceeding on schedule. The anticipated completion date is June, 1989. Until
then, OWASA will supplement the local water supply by obtaining water from
Durham and Lake Holt, near Butner. Water conservation measures may also be
needed during extended dry weather periods which occur between now and the time
Cane Creek Reservoir is completed and filled. When it is completed in mid-1989,
Cane Creek Reservoir will provide our community with an ample supply of water
for the foreseeable future.
The continuing assistance and cooperation provided by the Board of County
Commissioners, County administration and the residents of the community is
greatly appreciated.
Sinc y,

PACKGROUND.
The Long Range Water Management Strategy Committee,
created by the Board of County Commissioners in early 1987 ,
convened its first meeting on 15 March 1987 . Since then, the
Committee has met seventeen times in its efforts to create
policy guidelines for the long term management of Orange
County ' s water supplies.
The Committee was given two primary charges. The first
was outlining short term water transfer options available to
Orange County ' s water systems with associated costs, contract
conditions, and methods of financing. The second charge was
to recommend what new sources of water should be pursued and
utilized in the long term, along with the appropriate
organizational structure and financing strategy necessary to
support the project. During its eight month existence, the
Committee' s discussion has taken a broad view of its second
charge. The question of how a new reservoir should be
operated is not the only one with which the Committee has
grappled. How all of Orange County' s water resources should
be managed has also been a focal point of Committee
discussions.
The Committee first looked at transfer options,
reviewing current actions by Orange County' s three systems
involving inter-agency transfers. The Committee has made no
recommendations involving transfers at this time because the
individual systems have either completed or are in the
process of establishing their own major links in a regional
water network. OWASA has the ability to bring between 3.6
million and 4. 0 million gallons of finished water daily from
Durham and Hillsborough voters recently passed the bond
issues necessary to construct its connection with Durham.
Within the County, the completion of the booster pump station
at Celvander will allow two-way transmission between OWASA
and Hillsborough.
The one inadequate link is that which connects
Burlington and Graham on the west with Hillsborough on the
east. The Committee did review alternative strategies,
though, for transfers from Burlington and Mebane to
Hillsborough. The alternatives were contained in the report
"Feasibility Study for Finished Water Transfers to
Hillsborough, North Carolina, " prepared in July 1986 by Hazen
& Sawyer, P. C. The reason no recommendation was made on how
this link should be established was because of the additional
problems posed by the Orange-Alamance Water System in
establishing the connection. Orange-Alamance, as a private
corporation that crosses both watershed and county
boundaries, presents problems above and beyond those of
simple transfers. It is best that the issue of management
structure be addressed before recommendations are made on
regional connections that require OAWS to act as a conduit
for other systems.
Pane
The Committee then turned to what has been the crux of
its discussions, the creation of a management system best
able to meet the long term water needs of Orange County and
the best means by which to implement that system. The first
issue considered was whether the management system should be
based on watershed boundaries or county boundaries. A system
based on watershed boundaries would involve Hillsborough and
OAWS Joining forces with Durham to build a new reservoir in
the Upper Neuse river basin, while OWASA would Join with
Chatham County and others in the Cape Fear river basin to use
water from Jordan Lake. The primary advantage to this
approach is that the storage, consumption, and return of
water in both cases would remain within the same ecological
system. A management system based on political boundaries
would involve a coordinated effort by all interested parties
within Orange County and might include the sharing of
resources across basin lines. The main rationale supporting
this approach is that it may provide the political influence
and financial capability needed to Implement a long term
resources management system. While recognizing that an
ecological model had some strong points in its favor, the
Committee concluded that on balance an approach based on
political , rather than watershed, boundaries was the best way
to proceed.
With a determination of physical boundaries, the
Committee settled on three alternative management structures
for review;
1 ) a County water and sewer authority, which would manage
both raw and finished water;
2) a County department, responsible for the management of raw
water, operation of County owned sewer lines, and other
management/planning functions, and ;
3) the status quo.
The Committee compared the benefits and disadvantages of
these three management systems within a framework of five
questions;
1 Is it feasible?
2. is it fair to all County residents?
3 . Will it provide better management?
4. Will it provide an adequate supply of high quality
water?
5. What are the cost considerations?
Using the responses to these questions as a guide, the
Committee then considered specific proposals for a County
water and sewer authority and a County department to manage
raw water supplies that had been submitted by individual
b., ..- A
Committee members. The Committee chose to make its decisions
by consensus. Difficulties in making recommendations on these
two proposals made the Committee realize that an incremental
step was needed. Agreement on the process that would allow
for the creation of a management system was necessary before
there could be agreement on a specific management system.
The comparisons of the three management systems and the
specific proposals are included in this report.
6y. n F
FINDINGS AND RPCO }4ENDAT IONS
The Long Range Water Management Strategy Committee
attempted to reach conclusions in three general areas,
findings of fact, policy concepts, and specific policy
recommendations. Factual statements generated little
disagreement. It was not disputed that Orange-Alamance and
Hillsborough will face demand deficits in the near term or
that neither system possesses the financial means necessary
to establish its own new long term source. This only
translated, though, into partial agreement on the
philosophical statements that must be the foundation for any
coherent and functional policy.
The Committee agreed that the establishment of a county-
wide water and sewer entity offered many benefits in helping
to address the long range water need of Orange County. The
benefits include; a greater capability to respond to new
Federal water and wastewater treatment requirements; greater
resources and flexibility to finance and construct a new
reservoir or other new water supply ; improved rate equity and
representation for water and sewer customers; and the
economies of scale that come with a consolidated management
and planning system. For these reasons, the Committee
concluded that the benefits of a consolidated water and sewer
entity are desirable. General consensus was, that, in terms
of management, the status quo was unacceptable in the long
run. Additionally, while agreement is not universal , the
Committee leans towards a new reservoir in Orange County as
the best long term source, with a Jordan Lake allocation
being pursued as a parallel option.
The Committee recognized, however, that political ,
equity, management control , and other concerns exist today
that make the establishment of a county-wide authority or
other entity infeasible In the near future. With these
concerns in mind, the Committee concluded that an incremental
or graduated approach to achieving long range goals is the
preferable way to proceed. Through an incremental approach to
addressing the County' s water need, the Committee believed
that any obstacles to a comprehensive approach that exist
today could be overcome.
The Committee, thus, recommends the creation of a County
Water Board as the first step towards meeting the long range
water needs of Orange County.
This Board should consist of seven members. One each
should represent Chapel Hill , Carrboro, Hillsborough, and the
Orange-Alamance Water System. The remaining three are to be
chosen at large. Agreement could not be reached on whether
specific administrative enforcement powers should be granted
to the Board. This lack of enforcement power is of concern to
some Committee members. Therefore, the members of the County
Water Board must be as accountable as possible to their
respective constituencies if their recommendations are to
translate into action. While the County Commissioners should
be responsible for appointments to the Board, the
appointments should be made upon recommendations of the towns
and DAWS.
The Board must be appropriately staffed with a Water
Resources Planner. This staff position would initially be
placed in the Orange County Planning Department, given the
department' s role in watershed protection and need for
cooperation from service providers in land use planning. This
planner would have the sole responsibilities of providing
technical and staff support for the Board and advancing the
creation of a County-wide water plan.
To avoid the criticism that this Board is simply another
advisory body with abstract goals, responsibilities must be
spelled out with as much clarity as possible. The Long Range
Water Management Strategy Committee has identified five
initial charges:
1 ) The Board should pursue an allocation from Jordan Lake
on behalf of the County and its water providers.
The Environmental Management Commission is poised
to establish the application procedures for
allocation in the immediate future. Most likely,
the Division of Water Resources will begin
processing applications as soon as the rules are
approved, and do so for a set amount of time. The
water providers in Orange County cannot afford to
let this opportunity for joint action pass.
2) The Board should pursue interlocal agreements with water
providers in Alamance County.
The fractured nature of water provision in Orange
County has been one obstacle to establishing
purchase agreements with Alamance County water
providers. Investing this Board with the authority
to seek an agreement should remedy this problem.
3) The Board should be the body to work with the consulting
engineers on Phase II of the Orange County Water Supply
Study, which will focus on more precise engineering and
cost data for the reservoir site recommended by the
Orange County Reservoir Site Committee.
Among the action the Board should take as part of
this charge is to establish strategic and financial
mechanisms for the acquisition of the reservoir
site or other long term source of water . Mechanisms
the Committee discussed included charging user fees
for water from Lake Orange.
4) The Board should work cooperatively with the various
water and sewer service providers and municipalities in
the County to identify and develop a joint agreement on
the service area boundaries of all water providers
serving Orange County residents, including Mebane and
Durham.
P, -
Determining what areas of the County will be served
and by whom is a crucial step in any long term
planning process.
5) Develop a water conservation program for all of Orange
County.
Except for the first charge, which is constrained by
external time limits, no priorities have been attached to
these responsibilities.
The vast amount of information presented to the
Committee made it clear that technical and strategic means
exist to meet both the short term and the long term water
needs of Orange County. The obstacles to recommending a
single management structure were primarily political . A
County Water Board , though, should , over time, break down
these political obstacles. As the Board gains cooperation and
compromise in its efforts to meet the aforementioned charges,
the Committee believes the details of a long range, unified
County strategy will begin to evolve.
The Committee did review two separate proposals
regarding end management structures, a concept for a County
water and sewer authority and a proposal for a County water
and sewer department. Both are presented in their original
form as attachments to this report. No recommendations were
made on either proposal and both are submitted without
prejudice. A third document, concerning the means to and end
structure, was also submitted. It, too, is attached in its
original form.
AREA$ OF AGREEMENI
1 . NEED
Orange County needs water. A crisis situation is
upon us and is unlikely to abate. Water usage is already
at or near capacity in central Orange County. Demand and
deficit projections prepared by staff and contained in
the I - is - • I - a . i -- i - - indicate
the County, as a whole, could face a deficit within ten
years.
2. FINANCES
Two of the three systems in Orange County do not
have the financial resources to . individually develop a
new long term source of water. Hillsborough and Orange
Alamance simply do not have the population base to
support a large capital project. All systems, though,
including OWASA, would benefit from the economies of
scale that come from joint action.
3 . MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
The Committee has not yet agreed on a specific management
structure. It is a general belief, though, that the
status quo is unacceptable in the long term.
Additionally, a county based organization, rather than
one based on watershed boundaries, is needed in order to
represent the County, its municipalities, and its water
suppliers, as a single unit to outside agencies. This
became apparent in noting some of difficulties individual
agencies experienced in dealing with agencies outside
Orange County. A unified County voice should also
strengthen the County ' s request for an allocation from
Jordan Lake..
4. NEW SOURCES
A majority of Committee members believe a new
reservoir should be built, with acquisition of a site to
begin as soon as possible. Some tax money would be
required , although concerns about equity have been
raised. Regardless of the ultimate decision on a
reservoir, the Committee also believes the County, in
cooperation with its municipalities and water suppliers,
should continue to pursue an allocation from Jordan Lake.
5. WATER QUALITY
Water quality at the source is a high priority. From
this standpoint, sources in Orange County are preferable
to Jordan Lake. The Committee has also placed a high
priority on quality at the tap.

ROO : O L I • N \ • \ w uw ► � \
1 . EXISTING SYSTEMS' FEARS OVER LOSS OF AUTONOMY
Two points of disagreement have been apparent
throughout Committee discussions, whether the County ' s
unified voice should be an independent authority or a
department of County government and whether or not this
entity should manage all county water sources. Underlying
both these points is the fears expressed by the existing
systems regarding loss of local control .
Both Hillsborough and Orange-Alamance fear having
control of their systems pass from locally elected
officials to appointed officials who may or may not
reside in the service area of the respective system. More
bluntly, they want neither their sources of water nor
their distribution systems swallowed up by OWASA and the
southern portion of the County . On the other hand,
representatives from OWASA are concerned that reliability
of future sources cannot be guaranteed unless the
southern portion of the County has at least some control
over management.
The problem of local control is less a strategic one
than a political one. While the Committee was not charged
with achieving political solutions, pre-set terr'itorial
attitudes and very real political concerns have blocked
strategic resolution. The recommedation of the Committee,
however, provides an incremental step to allow each
system to maintain its autonomy.
2. DISTRIBUTION OF COSTS AND METHOD OF PAYMENT
Certainly, no one wants or should be required to pay
more than their fair share of costs. As of yet, though,
the Committee has not been able to come up with an
agreeable and equitable solution for distributing costs
associated with a new management system and new sources
of water established under that system. I '
Discussion has revolved around not only methods of
payment and overall distribution of costs, but also the
timing of payments. Residents in the southern portion of
the County, already paying for Cane Creek Reservoir, are
reluctant to pay now for water that Hillsborough needs
immediately and that the southern part of the County will
not need for twenty years.

Proposal 1 - Submitted by Chris Best, 16 November 1987
LONG RANGE WATER STRATEGY
An Analysis:
The Long Range Water Management Committee was formed, ',and their
charge outlined, by the Orange County Commissioners in the early spring
of 1987. Orange County has taken an interest in providing water and
d
sewer services in the Efland-Cheeks area. It has
shown interest and most
helping provide water to the Meadowlands industrial
importantly it has shown, through this committee, that it is concerned
with planning for future water needs for all residents. The charge given
the committee was clear: study the short term needs for water use in the
County and its municipalities including transfer options, their sources and
costs; engaging long-term planning, discussion of the limits of growth,
definition of service areas, and making recommendations as to where the
water will come from, how to pay for it, and how to use it wisely.
The committee has discussed all of the above at length, and its
recent passion has been to provide an organizational model, possibly a new
arm of government, that will look after the long range water Re s of
oche
County. Members have focused on the recommendation of the
Site Committee, and the organizational models have revolved around who
will use, and who will pay.
There is still no consensus that a reservior is needed for the future
if service district boundaries are limited and regional water sources are
explored further, but it is clear, when a new reservior site is discussed,
that the County cannot be expected to participate hr in
water systems. without
the full cooperation of the municipalities a
County should remain firm in this intent.
There have been several organizational/management strategies
discussed at the meetings. Some of those discussed extensively are: A) a
County-wide Authority, B) a County Water and Sewer Department,
the County as a raw water supplier. Both A and B have been recommended,
and another alternative not extensively discussed, that of maintaining
"status quo," has also been put forth.
In an attempt to follow the committee's charge as well as face the
difficulties of coordinating such entities as Hillsborough, OWASA, and
OAWS with the County's efforts, the interim recommendation Each
involve a blending of at least three of the proposed strategies.
strategy slowly evolving into another. This continuous joint planning will
16-
first attempt to solve the short-term problems through discussions
between the municipalities and neighboring water providers. This is going
on now, and is called maintaining the "status quo." The County is not
greatly involved, other than attempting to define service boundaries, and
the current water providers prefer it that way. There are of course "turf"
boundaries, which the committee is calling "political difficulties," and it
should also be recognized that selling water can be a profitable business
and a tax revenue not easily relinquished. As of yet the current water and
sewer providers have not shown a willingness to cooperate and
compromise with the County. This short sightedness will change as it
becomes increasingly difficult to provide quality service, as well as
appropriate quantities, to the residents of the County. The County will
become the central figure in the planning and distribution of water and
sewerage. As the current providers become more willing to compromise,
the strategy will evolve slowly into eventually a County-wide Authority,
with the County being the central partner.
Realizing this, the County should prepare now and work to bring the
governing bodies together in a joint planning effort. This involves much
more than a Long Range Water Strategy Committee. In an October 29,
1987 recommendation on a County Water and Sewer Department, Currie,
Insko, and Sheffield described the need for this County agency to bring the
various jurisdictions together to find mutual agreement. This
"department" should start on a smaller scale. It should begin with a Board
appointed by the County Commissioners with one member each from
Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Efland and Hillsborough and one from the OAWS area.
There would be two "at-large" county seats. The members should of
course be responsive to the provider that they represent, and the
Commissioners should choose the members with the input of the
providers. It should be appropriately staffed and placed in the Planning
Department. It should be clear that this staff is solely responsible for the
advancement (the evolution) of a County-wide plan, and of course is
attentive to the appointed Board. This first step for the County would be
inexpensive to the taxpayers, and would again demonstrate the County's
commitment to quality water for its citizens.
This new Board, with its connection to the Planning Department,
should do just that: plan.. It should interact closely with the current
water providers gaining cooperation and compromise. The Board should
direct itself to find answers for the long range water problems as well as
the details necessary to finance and maintain a unified County strategy in
the form of a County-wide Authority through the joint cooperation of the
existing providers. As the management strategy becomes clearer as to
what the current providers are willing to give and what benefits they will
17
gain, the staff will become larger as the "department" gains
Here, as a final step, the Board and staff would split
from the Planning Department and become the Orange County Water and
Sewer Department under the County Manager's Office. This department
would manage all the water supplies in the County, and the allocations it
receives from outside the County. It would manage both the water and
sewage treatment plants as well as work closely with the Planning
Department to define service boundaries in accordance with the Land Use
Plan.

RECOMMENDATIONS 70 LONG RANGE WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONMI7 :
A CONCEPT FOR A COUNTY4,11DE WATER ALfl' ORIZY
October 7, 1987
Introduction
The Orange County Board of Commissioners has established a Long Range Water
Management Strategy Committee to evaluate alternative institutional
arrangements for meeting rapidly growing water supply demands in Orange
County. Three general management strategies have been discussed by the
Committee members and they have been requested to provide comments and
recommendations relative to their preferred alternative. The following
information and response is offered for consideration by members of the
Committee. It is proposed that the Committee consider recommending that the
Orange County Board of Commissioners endorse a County—wide authority
approach, or some variation thereof. A specific proposal for implementing
such an approach is not offered in this report.
The comments and information provided have not been reviewed and endorsed by
the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (O'JASA) Board of Directors or the local
governmental units which are members of OWASA.
Background
Municipalities in Orange County must continue to have high quality water and
wastewater services available at adequate capacity if they are to support
the rapid population and economic growth projected for the area. Several
factors are affecting the capability to provide these services. These
include: (1) the continuing trend for more stringent federal and state
standards for water filtration and wastewater treatment and disposal; (2)
continuing increases with costs of facility construction and financing; (3)
increasing need for qualified technical and management personnel; (4)
increasing legal and regulatory delays in facility construction; and (5)
lack of environmentally, socially, economically and technically acceptable
water and sewer facility sites. These factors will make the task of
providing needed water and sewer services increasingly difficult and
expensive, particularly in areas experiencing rapid growth. They present a
potential constraint to the economical and timely development of water and
wastewater facilities which are needed to support -planned economic growth
and development.
Under the traditional water supply planning approach in North Carolina,
local jurisdictions have been granted permission to independently develop
and manage water supplies and wastewater treatment facilities on a piecemeal
basis. However, in many instances in the pest, serious problems have
resulted from inadequate long range planning and development of water and
wastewater facilities. An increasing number of local governments in the
State are experiencing difficulties in meeting water supply and wastewater
service needs within the context of existing institutional arrangements.
Some of these difficulties have become apparent in Orange County as the Long
J Range Water Management Strategy Committee has examined the local situation.

20 .
Local government influence can be maintained by the appointment of members
to the governing board of the authority by the elected officials and by
thoughtfully constructed agreements which coordinate water and/or sewer
facility planning and management decision making with land use planning and
growth management efforts of the county and member municipalities. Several
other areas throughout the nation have resolved this concern, as evidenced
by numerous regional agreements for water and sewer utility services (see
O1'U.SA files on intergovernmental agreements) .
The adverse impact of the requirement for State approval of eminent domain
powers can be reduced if water supply expansion needs are identified well in
advance of their actual need. State review procedures have been streamlined
to reduce the delays like those NASA experienced during the Cane Creek
Reservoir project approval process.
In summary, based on the information available and Committee discussions the
County-wide authority approach which involves the present water and sewer
service providers in the County is the preferred alternative. This approach
would offer substantial benefits to the smaller utility service providers
within the County, as they will find it increasingly difficult to
independently meet water and sewer needs in a financially feasible and
economical manner.
Potential Role of OWASA in Regional Management Approach
In the mid-1970s Orange County, the Town of Chapel Hill and Town of Carrboro
agreed to a regional water and sewer utility management approach for
consolidating the water and sewer facilities and services in southern Orange
County which resulted in the formation of OWASA. This approach has proven
to be a successful one and has provided Orange County with a direct
mechanism for involvement in providing water and sewer services to more than
50% of the County's total population and more than 80% of the County's urban
population. This organization has the inherent capability to be readily
expanded to other areas of the County.
NASA has by far the largest customer base and facility capacities of any of
the water utilities within the County. The full range of technical,
administrative and financial services necessary for water and wastewater
utility planning, operation and management exist within CWASA.
OWASA's service area is not statutorily or organizationally limited, but
facilities and customers are presently located only in the Chapel Bill -
Carrboro community and outlying areas, including limited portions of Chatham
County and Durham County. OWASA-coordinates water and sewer planning and -
decision making with five different jurisdictions. It has also provided
direct technical assistance under agreements with the Town of Hillsborough
and Town of Pittsboro, and participates actively in State and regional water
resources planning discussions. OWASA's policy making board is linked to
the county and municipal policy making process through the fact that OWASA's
board members are appointed by the Orange County Board of Commissioners and
the governing boards of Chapel Hill and Carrborc. This provides a mechanism
for coordinating the delivery of water and sewer services to residents of
the County within the context of various municipal and county growth
policies. -
21
NASA has a sound management track record and financial position. It has a
comprehensive 15-year Capital Improvements Plan which sets forth 'anticipated
water and sewer facilityraf these pnrojects a�under]cons ru�c�'tian and
a in

the early stages of planning 9
critical time for making several important decisions relative to ,future
facility locations, capacities, scheduling and financing. From CWASA's
standpoint, if a County-wide, regional effort is going to be taken the time
for implementing such an effort is rapidly approaching.
A tentative timetable for coordinating CWASA's present capital improvements
program with a proposed County-Wide water authority is attached.
CWASA recognizes that CfWASA customers and the general public will benefit
from cooperative water resources planning and management and facility .
construction efforts, and continues to Chapel5Hil1
efforts. In close cooperation with Orange
and Town of Carrbara, the NASA Directors give f
consideration to alternative �ng emnt approaches whichwill povide the
approaches include contractual

agreements for service delivery, technical service agreements, and inclusion
of additional jurisdictions in O4ASA.
S, umna y
, The cooperative development of major water supply-related facilities, as
opposed to the construction and operation of of everal smaller works
and
individual jurisdictions, can take
. permit a significant reduction in both capital and operating costs per unit
of service provided. Financing is more economical for larger systems. A
regional approach could promote improved water treatment, more uate
staffing, and better water quality testing. This would permit P
with the increasingly stringent provisions of the Safe Drinking water Act
and the Clean Water Act. In summary, regional development and :management
_ offers the opportunity tc provide better service at lower cost.
A County-wide authority has been suggested as a possible approach for
improving water supply and treatment planning and management within Orange
County. That approach is preferred over other alternatives considered.
G4ASA's appropriate level of participation in a larger-scale regional system

can only be determined by

Board of Directors.- This discussion is necessary to assure that C14FSA
continues to provide its present and future customers with economical water

Proposal 3
proposal for a County Water & Sewer Department
Cleon Currie
Verla Insko
Frank Sheffield
(October 29, 1987)
This proposal is one of several drafted for study and debate
by Orange County's Long Term Water Management Strategies
Committee. It is intended to set forth a definite way in which
certain water and other matters could be administered through a
structure provided as part of county government. It is
recognized that this idea has both strong points and areas of
weakness. Both are mentioned in the discussion, which is
arranged under the following headings:
I. Organization
II. Duties
III. Financing
IV. A—eas of S tr en=th
V. Areas of weakness
2 4_
r. Organization
We suggest that the most natural way to structure a new
county organization is to follow closely the arrangements that
have been worked out in our county government to deal with similar
matters of community interest. Essentially this involves creating
two entities: a department of
the county's administrative
government (ultimately reporting to the County Manager) , and a
board which serves as advisors to the County Commissioners. The
planning department and the planning board are similar
organizations which deal with matters involving many of the sane
considerations as those contemplated here.
:t would be the responsibility of the administrative
department to carry out day-to-day work as described more fully in
the section relating to "Duties. "
Briefly, these will include at
first a quantity of planning and paper-work to coordinate the use
of raw water supplies and to procure additional sources, and the
field work necessary to the actual operation water and sewer
facilities already owned by the county. The activities of this
depttment clearly mI.s t be coordinated -wi:h those f
c the pla:zin5.
recreation, and 'public works departments, as overlapping concerns
are to be expected. The County Manager would be responsible for
staffing the department to a level commensurate with its t
s a..c..ua1
needs at any given time. Funding or the-be Qepa�rt rment would be
provided through the county budget, using monies derived from
25
several sources a ccordin g to a plan discussed under the heading
"Financing." '
It would be the responsibility of the board to recommend
policy to the County Commissioners who would bear final .
responsibility for the. successful performance of this county
organization. The board should be composed of citizens
representing the full breadth of those whose interests are vitally
affected by water and sewer decisions. Because of the mixture of
funding sources that are available to county government and which
seem to be appropriate for use in varying amounts, every resident
or property owner in the county will have some interest in these
matters. As current providers of water and sewer services to the
citizens , Orange Water and Sewer Authority, the town of
Hillsborough and Orange Alamance Water Company have a crucial
relationship to the success of the policies and projects
undertaken. Similarly those responsible for long-term economic
growth, recreational facilities and environmental protection need
to be closely involved in the decision process. We therefore
that the board be comprised of a dozen or more individuals
including at least the following represe.:to tives: one from each
��
y one planning or more from each water or sewer
provider, pm
one from
Township,
the board and one from t-he economic develoent
commission.
26
II• Duties
The county organization would be asked in the beginning to
pursue a definite set of goals on behalf of the citizens. These
derive from needs which are poorly addressed by the mechanisms
which we now have in place. They may be broken into several
categories for consideration:
A. Water Resources Planning
Two areas of long-term planning are of immediate concern:
A new reservoir in the upper Eno watershed must be planned in
detail , and the necessary land accuisitions begun. Its
integration with the land use plan is essential with respect to
watershed protection, economic development and recreational
facilities. Simultaneously, this county agency needs to negotiate
with neighboring jurisdictions to establish our place in the
regional system that is beginning to emerge. These negotiations
should result in viable interconnections of our lines with Mebane
and Graham on the west, with Durham on the east, and with Chatham
County on the south. our role in the ultimate allocation of water
from Jordan Lake and, in measure, to insure its purity should be
guaranteed.
Cf 'possibly immediate concern is the re-Presentation of the
county in negotiations with the state government relating to the
capacity use designation of the zipper Eno watershed. 'Whether or
not this area is so designated, this agency should be
responsible for putting into place operating procedures to
27
equitably allocate the limited resources of the region while
additional supplies are obtained.
In the longer term, a county water and sewer organization
should ion enlarge its water resources planning functions to include
educat and watershed protection throughout the county. Ground
water protection and private sewage systems also need attention as
soon as it could be given.
B. Operation of Lake Orange and the Efland Sewer
Another broad area of responsibility for the county
ag enc y relates to the county-owned sewer line now being installed
in the Efland area. This is an area that has been designation on
the land use plan for growth to urban densities, but which is
poorly served by sewer at this time. The line now under
construction will alleviate the immediate health problems in the
area, but at considerable and continuing cost to the taxpayers. A
plan to serve the needs more adequately and more equitably is
needed. This will require coordination with the town of
Hillsborough which owns the sewage treatment plant to which this
line connects. Other areas of the county, for instance near the
intersection of `
-ES and NC-B6, may also eventually require county
involvement in sewer expansion and operation. Continuing county
activity in monitoring the flow in the Eno River and in releasing
water from Lake . Orange is expected. This is now handled
personally by an Assistant County Manager, but as the tasks become
more routine, they should be delegated to the staff of a water and
sewer department.
28
?I. Financing
We suggest that several sources of funds are appropriate for
use by a county agency engaged in water and sewer development.
The nix of monies should change according to the activities of the
agency at any given tine, and should be varied in a manner that
reflects the benefits to be derived from its actions. There are
at least two categories of expenses that will serve to illustrate
desirable funding arrangements: administrative costs, and capital
outlays.
In the case of administrative costs, primarily for staff and
office space, it seems desirable that the funds come from a small
user surcharge to be assessed by the water suppliers. The fee
should not be large, and it should be paid equally by all users of
services provided by the current systems. In the main, these are
activities which would otherwise be funded by the water and sewer
providers individually.
Capital costs are likely to constitute the majority of the
financial outlays because new water resources are expensive.
These rav acs be divided between those costs associated with
land acg isitian and those occasioned by the actual consuucticr
of a reservoir and pipes or treatment facilities. It seems
appropriate :.o us to use general max revenues for the ao.:uis4 ion
of land. This process may take a considerable period of time, but
it needs to begin at once. By integrating the reservoir plans
with the county's goals for recreational facilities and green
29
e
ace the land acquisition will benefit all of the citizens
sp ►
whether or not they currently receive water or sewer service. The
very large amounts of money required for constructing a dam,
intake towers, and the like would appear to require placing a bond
issue before the public. Bonds for this purpose should be repaid
through take-or-pay contracts with the county's water, suppliers.
This will guarantee the availability of water to those providers
and will insure that those who benefit most directly bear most of i
the financial burden. Projects of intermediate size, for instance
the construction of pipe lines and pumps to interconnect the
region, might be financed by having the service providers pass
through to the county agency a portion of the capital facilities
fee they charge to new customers.
IV. Areas of Stren b
By uniting the county' s residents under this single
organization a number of benefits accrue to us all. Not least of
these is the potential for developing another source of high
quality drinking water. Only a few possible sites for this exist
r
- in relatively undevelcp this ed states at is time, none with in the

actual need. By cooperating with those county residents who live
in the upper no basin where another protected reservoir is
possible, citizens served by OWASA can greatly reduce the chance
30
that they will face another crisis in the future without a place
to locate a reservoir. Possible permitting problems associated
with transferring water from one drainage basin to another should
be eased by good long range plans and this organizational
structure. Those who are now served by water from the Eno basin
gain in this arrangement the chance to share the costs associated
with developing new water resources and to benefit from the
strength and expertise that the much larger community can supply.
Ill gain from the increased negotiating capability that is
obtained by speaking with one voice. Yet all of our current
suppliers can continue to maintain their own identities. No
question arises about giving up something that we have worked hard
to put in place.
Special benefits of the county agency include the ease with
which it could be established following patterns already tested,
and its ability to gather strength gradually as needs require. It
could interact smoothly with state government on matters arising
out of the capacity use investigation, and could integrate its
activities naturally with other aspects of community growth. The
needs for green space, re_:crea:.icnal facilities and balanced
economic grow`:.h, are especially important. Many :problems related
to equity of funding in county activities cannot be divorced from
the current uneven distribution Lion of the tax base. Seen from this
perspective, a county agency for water and sewer appears to be a
desirable tool for improving the quality of life for our citizens.
31
V. ' sadv nta es
The principal disadvantages of the county umbrella
organization proposed here are derive from its relatively limited
scope. It could not, for instance, guarantee the quality of water
from the lake to the tap as might be done by a more comprehensive
and more closely knit structure. Its success in meeting the long
term needs of the citizens would continue to depend upon
cooperation among a variety of groups and organizations. Its
efficiency in accomplishing various tasks might also be reduced by
this looseness and the continuing need for agreement. ''
Some will also argue that such an agency would simply
represent another example of burgeoning county government. It is
certainly true that the structure proposed here would add an
additional layer to the water bureaucracy that is already in place
and would also require additional county employees and office
space.

A. BOARD AND MANAGERS COMMENTS
Chair Marshall announced she signed two proclamations to end the
voluntary water conservation restrictions for the County portion of both
the OWASA and Orange Alamance service areas.
Commissioner Hartwell referred to the letter written by Chair
Marshall to all Boards and Commissions requesting priorities and goals for
the December 5 meeting. The top priority for the Social Services Board is
to provide service facilities in the southern part of the County
comparable to those of the northern Orange facility. The southern Orange
facility is out of compliance with State statutes and improvements need to
be made. The second priority is to initiate some joint planning with the
municipalities to determine where there may be an overlap or duplication
of human services offered by the County and the municipalities. This may
be a project that could be referred to HSAC. He emphasized the importance
of doing this outside of the budget process. This will be discussed on
December 5 at the goal setting work session.

E. REPORTS
1. LONG RANGE WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT
(A copy of this report is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's
Office) .
Planner Brad Torgan presented the final report of the Long Range
Water Management Strategy Committee. The committee reviewed transfer
options but did not make a specific recommendation for two reasons: (1)
the water providers have or are presently establishing most of the major
links both within the County and with other counties except that which
would link Hillsborough up with the Orange Alamance system and (2) the
status quo was unable to produce an interlocal agreement between
Hillsborough, Graham, Mebane and Burlington. He expounded on the
management structure that would be able to best supply and manage Orange
County's long range water needs. The Committee concluded that a single
voice speaking for the County would best be able to represent the long
term needs of Orange County.
The committee recommended the creation of a County water board which
would in effect begin joint planning with the County's water providers,
the municipalities and the County on related water issues. The committee
would be composed of a member from each of the three municipalities, one
from the Orange Alamance Water System, and three appointed at large by the
County. The committee would initially have five basic goals with the most
important one being to pursue an allocation from Jordan Lake on behalf of
3
the County and its water providers.
Commissioner Hartwell commended the members of the committee for their
hard work and dedication which produced the report and recommendations.
Planning Board member Chris Best requested that a member of the
Planning Board be considered for appointment to the County Water Board. He
emphasized the importance of this Board being properly staffed for optimum
results.
Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner
Carey to accept the report in principle and to discuss the report further
at the December 5 1987 work session and consider a phase II study.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
2 . RESERVOIR SITE COMMITTEE REPORT
Don Cordell, an Associate with Hazen and Sawyer, presented the
report. He stated that phase one of the report represents a comprehensive
study of water supply needs and alternatives in Orange County. He
commended both water committees for their hard work in providing the input
that went into the two reports. The primary objective was to identify the
best reservoir site(s) in northern Orange County that would meet the long-
term water supply needs in Orange County. They also evaluated the use of
Jordan Lake as an alternative to new reservoir construction.
Jim McCarthy, engineer with Hazen and Sawyer, presented charts which
reflected population projections and anticipated growth in both population
and water demand. Using a moderate growth projection the net deficit in
water supply is 7. 3 million gpd. Using a high growth projection the net
deficit is 11. 6 million gpd.
Don Cordell listed the seven possible reservoir sites. A detailed
comparison was done on four of the sites and on Jordan Lake as an
alternative to new reservoir construction. He made reference to the
Executive Summary and listed the comparison of the values necessary in
building a reservoir including the costs associated.
The Site Committee, along with Hazen and Sawyer Consultants,
recommended the construction of a reservoir on the Eno River above McGowan
Creek with the eight million gpd expansion. They also concluded that the
County should purchase land in the Seven Mile Creek area to meet the
wildlife mitigation requirements for development of a reservoir and
preserving land for a future reservoir site. They recommended County
participation in the plans for the regional utilization of water from the
Jordan Lake.
The recommendations as listed in the report are as follows:
(1) Authorize preparation of detailed topographic maps.
(2) Authorize phase II of the study.
(3) Articulate a policy regarding growth and coordination with
all municipalities within Orange County as well as their
water suppliers.
(4) Participate in drafting a regional plan for utilization of
Jordan Lake as a means of obtaining a water supply allocation
from that facility.
(5) Acquire land at both site C & D since delaying that
acquisition could only increase the cost of the land.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Barrie Altvater Wallace spoke about her concern for preservation of
the historic value of the Chatwood house, the mill and the Chatwood
gardens. She asked that the County consider Jordan Lake as the solution
to Orange County's future water needs. A copy of her complete statement is
in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office.
Peggy Altvater read a letter from Mrs. Helen Watkins. She related the
historic value of the Chatwwood home. She concluded that to wipe out this
4
lovely and interesting area would be a great lost -- not only to historic
Hillsborough but to the many visitors who come to the area.
Don Cox cited the two water reports as comprehensive and thorough. He
recognized the dilemma between providing adequate water supplies and the
damage to environmental and significant historic values. He offered his
continued effort and support for the continuing phases of the report and
implementation.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Chair Marshall to
accept in principle the report and to discuss the report further at the
December 5, 1987 work session and consider a phase II study.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
Commissioner Hartwell clarified that an eight million gpd per day
expansion of Corporation Lake would not threaten the Chatwood structure
itself but would flood the Faucette Mill and some of the Chatwood
gardens.

incorporated into lots 6, 7 and 8.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
3 . NASH STREET SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY PLAN

is 2 .8 acres. Nine (9) lots are proposed which average 10,826 square
feet. Hillsborough zoning applicable to this site is Residential-10. The
Hillsborough Planning Board recommended approval without conditions. The
Orange County Planning Board recommended approval with one condition.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner

4. REQUEST TO INITIATE LEGAL ACTION - JAMES GRADY
Marvin Collins requested the initiation of legal proceedings
against James Grady of Route 2, Box 22, Hillsborough, NC. The property in
violation is on School Bus Garage Road in Hillsborough. Mr. Grady is
using a temporary saw service to supply electricity to his mobile home
which violates the National Electrical Code. Efforts to resolve the
matter have been unsuccessful.
Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by
Commissioner Hartwell to approve the initiation of legal proceedings
against James Grady.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
5. DAWSON ROAD - SIGHT DISTANCE PROBLEM
Marvin Collins stated that the Planning Staff investigated a sight
distance problem at the intersection of Dawson Road and Old Greensboro
Road. They determined that there is a sight distance problem with the
solution being the relocation of the Dawson Road intersection 175 feet to
the east. Mr. Mills from NCDOT indicated there may be a possibility for
funding this project either from the Unpaved Road Improvements Fund or the
Minor Safety Fund.
Commissioner Hartwell questioned if there is a priority list of
those roads that have a sight distance problem and was told that a survey
has not been done.
Scott Jewel who lives near the intersection emphasized that the
intersection does present a safety hazard and feels it is probably one of
the worst intersections in Orange County.
Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner
Carey to authorize the Chair to correspond with NCDOT to request that the
Dawson Road project be scheduled in the 1988-89 NCDOT budget with funding
from either the Unpaved Road Improvements Fund or the Minor Safety Fund.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
6. PROPOSED WATER/SEWER POLICY (A complete narrative is on file in
the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's Office) .
Marvin Collins made the presentation. A series of recommendations
from the Planning Board were put into a policy format which includes the
decisions made by the Board of Commissioners at its October 20 meeting
with regard to funding alternatives. The policy is organized around five
goals which address water supply, sewage disposal, urban development,
county financial involvement and financial participation policies. Under
each goal, policies have been grouped according to major headings -general
policies or more specific policies.
The Board agreed to accept the report and to set a public hearing
at a later date.
7. ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE CHANGES
Beverly Whitehead made the presentation. The Board of Health
recommended four changes in the Animal Control Ordinance. These changes
are listed below:
(1) No animals should be exempted from the Ordinance.
(2) The designation of Non-Commercial Kennels be changed to Class
I Kennels which is a kennel that maintains six to nineteen
animals.
(3) The designation of Commercial Kennels be changed to Class II
Kennels which is a kennel that maintains twenty or more
animals.
(4) Section XIX (Kennel Standards) #13 read "provisions shall be
made for the removal and disposal of animal and food waste,
bedding and debris.

Several citizens spoke in opposition of the recommendation. George
Maynard asked for another recommendation on what would be exempted for
sportsmen who keep dogs to hunt. He opposed having to apply for a
Kennel 's License. Octavious Tate noted he owned fifteen dogs and cannot
afford to pay $15. 00 per animal. Willard Ward commented on the makeup of
the committee that made the above recommendation. He made reference to a
letter from Tony Laws which stated that exemptions may be allowed as long
as it does not alter the intent of the Ordinance. Ward asked that
hunting dogs be exempted from the Ordinance.
Commissioner Halkiotis expressed concern that if the fee for
registering dogs is too high that not all animals will be registered. He
proposed a fee of $15. 00 for each of the first three unneutered or
unspayed animals in a household with the fee for the remaining animals set
at $5. 00 each with no limit.
Commissioner Carey pointed out that the process used by the Board
of Health that led to the above recommendation allowed ample opportunity
for citizen input. The Board of Health expressed concern about the cost
implications of these changes and therefore set the level for the two
different designations of kennels.
Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner
Halkiotis to approve setting a public hearing for January 4, 1988 for
items 2, 3, and 4 as stated above.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
County Attorney Gledhill informed the Board that a public hearing
was not necessary to amend the Animal Control Ordinance.
Chair Marshall referred the matter back to the Board of Health for
a recommendation on whether the intent of the ordinance would be changed
if Commissioner Halkiotis' proposal were adopted.
8. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner
Halkiotis to approve the release of funds from the Commissioners
Contingency in the amount of $16,330 to implement the new Animal Control
Ordinance.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
9. SPACE ALLOCATION
Albert Kittrell provided additional information on the proposed
space allocation plan for the Clerk of Court and associated functions, and
the County Administration Offices presently located in the New Courthouse.
It is proposed that office space for Child Support Enforcement, Economic
Development Commission, Commission for Women, Employment Security
Commission, G.E.D. Classroom and J.T.P.A. be leased in the Sawyer Building
and the Collin's Annex. He presented a cost comparison of other lease
space available in the downtown Hillsborough area and a draft of the
proposed lease.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner
Hartwell to approve the lease and authorize the Chair to sign.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
