The EDC in June 1988 'agreed a Mission. Statement and Charge for a citizens' Executive Committee to make recommendations for the Strategic Plan. The Executive Committee was appointed by the EDC in August 1988 and consisted of 30 persons, chosen to be deomgraphically, geographically and occupationally representative of the County. This group of citizens worked in a- committed and intense way throughout September, October and November of 1988, and presented their Report and Recommendations to the EDC on December 8, 1988. During January and February of 1989 the EDC, assisted by several members of the ExecUtive Committee, has worked to produce an Implementation Strategy to address the Recommendations of the Executive Committee. • • RECOMMENDATION(S) : That the BOCC receive the .EDC Strategic Plan and Implementation Strategy and place it on the Decision Agenda for March 21, 1989. , ar , ORANGE COUNTY TO:.‘IORRONN r pnEsER,,,o,pRoG.Ess.pEopLE Introduction The Orange County Economic Development Commission in the summer of 1988 embarked upon an important and exciting effort to develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan for the future of Orange County. The purpose of the Plan we envisioned then, and which is detailed in this document today, is two fold: to ensure that Orange County will maintain its strategic strengths and advantages into the future, and to improve the quality of life for our citizens who live and work here. We believe that all citizens have a stake in the future, and now is the time to plan for it. The opportunity is here to create good things for our future and the future of our children. What types of jobs do we want in Orange County? How can we ensure that all citizens have the skills to be productive in the workplace? How can we best work with our existing companies to ensure their potential for growth? How shall we encourage and attract new businesses, sensitive to our environment, which provide the kind of jobs and investment we want? These are some of the questions addressed herein. We do not have all of the answers yet, and the Plan, which will be monitored and updated annually, will grow in detail through the experience we gain together, The Executive Committee of Orange County citizens, whose visionary leadership and tireless effort we gratefully acknowledge, produced Recommendations for the Plan. These Recommendations were organized around twelve challenges identified by the Committee; for each challenge the Committee recommended strategies to address the challenge, and suggested implementing organizations. To transform these recommendations into ACTIONS, the Economic Development Commission has structured the recommended strategies, adding timeframes, milestones, castings, and has identified lead groups to ensure achievement of each strategy.

This person should provide on a regular and continuing basis, expert advice and assistance to small business county-wide, utilizing the existing (fragmented) services, and adding other services as needed.

BACKGROUND: 1. On July 19, 1988, the Board of Commissioners approved the acceptance of a grant from the Governor's Crime Commission. This grant will be administered by the Orange. County Department of Social Services and will support a treatment program for child sexual abuse victims in Orange and Chatham Counties. The total amount of the grant is $34,650. Of this amount, Orange County will receive $17,325 with the remainder being "passed thru" to Chatham County. This award requires a 25% in- kind match; half will be provided by Orange County Department of Social Services and half will be provided by Chatham County Department of Social Services. 2. The Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency has been awarded grant funds from the State Department of Transportation. Funds will be used to purchase new CAT vehicle replacements and rehabilitate CAT vehicles that can be repaired. Rehab work, at a cost of $8,492, has been completed on a disabled CAT bus that is assigned to JOCCA; however, JOCCA receives funds from the State after payments are made to the vendor (mechanic) . Generally, the State takes up to 90 days to reimburse JOCCA. The 90 day period will create a cash flow problem; therefore, JOCCA is requesting that Orange County pay the repair bill and they will reimburse the County when proceeds arrive from the State. This amendment will increase the Department on Aging's Vehicle Repair account and increase appropriate revenues. 3. The Orange County Commission for Women has received a minigrant from the NC Council on the Status of Women. This grant has enabled the Commission to print two 2 4. The Orange County Commission of Women has received revenue from the Women and Finance Conference. This revenue includes donations from businesses and registration fees from participants. The Commission's postage budget will be increased through these revenues. 5. This amendment will provide funds for a temporary CAT driver to provide services for OPC Mental Health. At the time of budget adoption, it was the thought that OPC would employ a full-time driver; however, OPC has expressed the desire to continue the combined courier/CAT driver contract with the Department on Aging. This amendment will increase the Department on Aging's budget and increase revenues generated by the CAT system.

If the Engineer's compensation hereunder is determined on an hourly basis, the amount payable to the Engineer for services so rendered shall be established on the basis of the time and authorized expenses actually incurred on the project to the date of its receipt of notice of termination. If the Engineer's compensation under this Agreement is a lump sum, upon such termination the amount payable to the Engineer for services rendered will be determined using a proportional amount of the total fee based on a ratio of the services done, as reasonably determined by the Engineer, to the total services which were to have been performed, less prior partial payments, if any, which have been made. (11) Liability. The Engineer is protected by Workers' Compensation Insurance CD-111 (01/88) 6 (and/or employer's liability insurance), professional liability insurance, and by public liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage and will furnish certificates of insurance upon request. The Engineer agrees to hold the CIient harmless from loss, damage, injury, or liability arising solely from the negligent acts or omissions of the Engineer, its employees, agents, subcontractors and their employees and agents but only to the extent that the same is actually covered and paid under the foregoing policies of insurance.

These other plans consist of local thoroughfare plans as well as plans for non-auto modes (transit, paratransit,bicycles,pedestrians,air, and rail transportation). These other studies are being or have been prepared by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT),other consultants,and County staff. We believe that the majority of the consultant's effort should be directed toward the performance of the specific items relating to the thoroughfare plan. As shown in our manpower estimate,the County staff can provide significant assistance in some of these tasks. Development of the County-specific p road classification system will require the greatest total effort. It is in this task that the County staff can provide considerable assistance by collecting and assembling data on the County's primary and secondary road system. Kim ley-Horn will provide direction and assistance in collecting these data, and then will classify the road segments gments based on such criteria as roadway geometry (width, horizontal and vertical alignment), existing and projected traffic volumes, existing and projected adjacent land use, setbacks, and special features. We have previously developed systems for classifying roadways based on these criteria. This task will be reviewed with County staff and will be coordinated with the consultant preparing the County's Rural Character Study. Private road standards and policy will be addressed based on our rience i exile in designing both public and private roads throughout North Carolina as well as in other states,and upon review of the 1981 draft Street Study prepared by the County Planning , Department. We will review potential scenic roads in the County and,with input from County staff and local residents, will propose criteria for designating scenic roads in the County. The designation of scenic roads will rely heavily upon public input. We also will develop policies and programs for protecting the scenic appearance of such designated 1 17 roads and bridges, in coordination with the Rural Character Study. Our staffs experience in developing appearance standards on Hilton Head Island,South Carolina, will prove extremely helpful in developing these policies and programs. We will define the County's unpaved secondary road system and will develop criteria for equitable maintenance and upgrading of those roads. Our staff experience in developing a similar program for Tampa,Florida will be extremely useful in developing these criteria. We will refine the County-specific road classification to define collector.and subcollector streets. These will be designated to provide access and continuity of streets where appropriate throughout the County. We will review the County's proposed traffic impact study ordinance (Article 13) and make recommendations, as appropriate. Kimley-Horn has performed literally hundreds of traffic impact analyses throughout the United States, and our experience will result in a thorough analysis of this ordinance. In addition to performing these specific tasks, we will assemble reports reared P p by others, review them for technical accuracy and consistency, and prepare a single comprehensive transportation plan document. Our broad experience in various aspects of transportation planning and design and our familiarity with Orange County will enable us to successfully integrate these documents into one legible report, including both a technical report and an executive summary. • i • l ' 1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: March 8, 1989 Action Agenda Item # 6.04 SUBJECT: 1989 JOINT PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULE DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: Yes _X_NO.

BACKGROUND: Section 2.6A of the Joint Planning Agreement states that no amendment to the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan Text and/or Map may become effective until after it has been adopted by Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro following a joint public hearing by all three governing bodies. Section 2.6E states that changes in zoning classifications on property in the Chapel Hill and Carrboro Transition Areas may not be made until approved by both Orange County and the appropriate Town following a joint public hearing by the two governing bodies. At its February 6, 1989 meeting, the Board of Commissioners considered two public hearing dates - March 9, 1989 and September 14, 1989. Both dates had been previously approved by the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The Commissioners approved September 14 but asked the Administration to identify alternatives to the March 9 date due to a conflict with a Board of Health meeting. • The Carrboro Board of Aldermen has identified April 6 and April 20 as dates for consideration, with April 20 as the preferred date. On April 6, an advisory board of the Town meets. mommmEr 2 The Town of Chapel Hill staff has also identified April 6 and April 20 as dates for consideration, with April 6 as the preferred date. April 20 is Passover. The Town Council will meet on March 6 to formally consider the alternatives. A verbal report on the Town's recommendation will be presented at the meeting. There are no known County meetings with which either of these dates would conflict. However, the Clerk to the Commissioners and her assistant will be at a meeting of the N.C. City/County Clerks Association meeting on April 20.

Establish a system of fees to assist in the financing of water and/or sewer services and facilities. (RESERVED) The County's role in achieving each of the above mentioned goals is identified herein. -1- 6 GOAL 1 - WATER SUPPLY Assist in providing clean and safe water supplies to meet the needs of the residents of Orange County. A. General Policies 1. Orange County will assist municipalities and water providers within the county and surrounding jurisdictions in efforts to identify, protect, and develop required water supplies so that available resources are balanced with existing and projected needs on a local and regional basis. 2. Orange County's primary responsibility will be to assist in the protection and development of water resources, including the establishment of necessary organizational structures and arrangements that would operate and maintain raw water and treated water resources. 3. Water supply needs should be met consistent with the land use plans and growth management policies of Orange County, municipalities within the county, and surrounding jurisdictions; watershed protection policies; and environmental protection policies. 4. The type of water distribution facilities appropriate for an area should be identified as a function of the magnitude of present and future demand; the distribution of users; the present and potential availability of public utility services; and the capacity of the natural environment to absorb the impact. The determination of appropriate types of water distribution facilities in the County should be made in close cooperation with utility service providers, both public and private, and with municipalities. B. Watershed Protection Policies 1. Watershed protection should be given a high priority in any activity related to land use planning in Orange County. Orange County will, in those areas for which it has planning and zoning jurisdiction and authority, use this authority to designate protected watersheds in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of protecting those areas from adverse environmental impacts. 2 . Local and regional watershed standards and policies should be adopted and implemented which minimize potential adverse impacts on water quality in water -2- 7 supply watersheds. 3. Orange County will support the programs of the Soil Conservation Service and Sedimentation and Erosion Control, and will participate in region- wide water quality monitoring programs.

A. General Policies 1. Sewage disposal needs should be met in a manner consistent with the land use plans and growth management policies of Orange County, municipalities within the county, and surrounding jurisdictions; watershed protection policies; and environmental protection 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; the present and potential availability of public utility services; and the capacity of the natural environment to absorb the impact. The determination of appropriate types of sewage disposal facilities in the County should be made in close cooperation with utility service providers, both public and private, and with municipalities. 3. On-site disposal should be encouraged in low- density and rural areas where soil conditions are acceptable. The County should establish a public education program to inform home and property owners of issues, concerns, and operation and maintenance needs associated with on-site sewage disposal systems. 4. Wastewater discharge shall be treated in compliance with all applicable local, State, and Federal laws and regulations. S. Alternative Systems Policies 1. The elimination of administrative and informational barriers to the use of safe, sanitary alternative wastewater treatment systems within the County should be encouraged. The adequate long-term operation of such system must be assured. 2. Alternative wastewater treatment systems include: a. Discharge systems such as package treatment plants which discharge into a natural water course and do not depend on the soil for treatment. b. Non-discharge systems which are used where pollutants found in the wastewater can be -4- . - 9 adequately removed through distribution to the soil. Non-discharge systems are generally known as ground absorption systems consisting of land application systems by spray irrigation onto the surface of the soil and variations of the conventional ground absorption system based on low pressure injection of wastewater into the soil. 3. The use of alternative wastewater treatment systems as a means of sewage disposal will be permitted consistent with local, State, and Federal laws and regulations only in the following situations: a. On land unsuitable for conventional on- site sewage disposal systems and which is not served by public sewer; or b. On land suitable for conventional on-site sewage disposal systems and which is not served by public sewer but where, through the clustering of dwelling units, open space is preserved for providing recreation areas and/or for scenic, environmental and agricultural protection purposes. In the case of new development, such systems will be permitted only after the approval of a Special Use Permit for property located in a zoned township or a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for property located in an unzoned township. 4. Orange County will evaluate the feasibility of establishing an inspection and monitoring program for alternative wastewater treatment systems, will explore a bonding requirement, and will explore alternative institutional arrangements for shifting the operation and maintenance of such systems into the public domain.

A. General Policies 1 . Public water and sewer facilities should be extended in accordance with the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. Such facilities will be encouraged in the Plan's Urban and Transition areas, and will be discouraged in Rural and Agricultural areas except where their provision will enhance the rural character and provide for open space by allowing clustered development. 2. Joint planning should be developed and implemented among the County, its municipalities, surrounding jurisdictions, and utility providers responsible for water and sewer service to guide the extension of lines in accordance with joint land use plans and water/sewer service boundary agreements. B. Service Capability/Capacity/Extension Policies 1. A water or sewer system built or extended within a Transition area as defined in the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan shall be designed, sized, and constructed to the standards of the probable future public utility provider. The location and size of utility easements shall be • approved by and dedicated in the form of a deed of easement to the probable future public utility provider. 2. A development project to be served by a public or private water or sewer system must be assured of installation of such service at the time it is approved. "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 sewer lines, the adequacy of the existing system(s) to which the connection(s) will be made, the capacity of existing water and sewer treatment facilities, the carrying capacity of the discharge stream or discharge point, and the method of funding proposed extensions of water and sewer -6- 11 lines. The approval by the municipality, private association, or water or sewer authority shall contain a certification that service to the development project is authorized by any water management plan and discharge permit in effect at the time of appi-oval. Following review and approval of preliminary plans as described above, 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. 3. Outside of Transition Areas, extensions of water or sewer systems will onlu occur to provide service to an essential public facility, such as a school, or to remedy a public health emergency not otherwise correctable, such as a failing septic tank or failing package treatment plant. Generally, system extensions into areas outside of Transition Areas shall be sized according to the policies of the utility providing the water or sewer service. However, system extensions into and within the Rural Buffer and Water Quality Critical Areas shall be sized to address only the concern for which the systems are extended. 4. Development projects outside the Rural Buffer portion of the Joint Planning Area and outside a Water Quality Critical Area may access water or sewer service when existing water or sewer service is contiguous to the site. However, any such development project will only be approved at densities permitted by the Orange County Zoning Atlas and consistent with the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. "Development project" refers to any place of residence, business, industry, or 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.

The purpose of the Plan we envisioned then, and which is detailed in this document today, is two fold: to ensure that Orange County will maintain its strategic strengths and advantages into the future, and to improve the quality of life for our citizens who live and work here. We believe that all citizens have a stake in the future, and now is the time to plan for it. The opportunity is here to create good things for our future and the future of our children. What types of jobs do we want in Orange County? How can we ensure that all citizens have the skills to be productive in the workplace? How can we best work with our existing companies to ensure their potential for growth? How shall we encourage and attract new businesses, sensitive to our environment, which provide the kind of jobs and investment we want? These are some of the questions addressed herein. We do not have all of the answers yet, and the Plan, which will be monitored and updated annually, will grow in detail through the experience we gain together, The Executive Committee of Orange County citizens, whose visionary leadership and tireless effort we gratefully acknowledge, produced Recommendations for the Plan. These Recommendations were organized around twelve challenges identified by the Committee; for each challenge the Committee recommended strategies to address the challenge, and suggested implementing organizations. To transform these recommendations into ACTIONS, the Economic Development Commission has structured the recommended strategies, adding timeframes, milestones, castings, and has identified lead groups to ensure achievement of each strategy.

This person should provide on a regular and continuing basis, expert advice and assistance to small business county-wide, utilizing the existing (fragmented) services, and adding other services as needed.
