Local government staff (representing planning, economic development, and engineering) will assist in the process. The Task Force is proposed to consist of: • 3-5 property owners • 2-4 business owners • 3 at-large representatives • Orange County BOCC liaison • Durham City Council liaison • Orange County Planning Board member • Orange County EDC member • Eno River Association/Eno State Park representative Eight area property and business owners have volunteered to participate in the small area planning process, During the summer, staff will work with the County Clerk's office to recruit the remaining members of the task force, with formal appointments to be made by the Board of County Commissioners on August 22, 2006, The small area plan for the Eno EDD was originally being completed in accordance with the planned update of the Orange County Land Use Element, As the Land Use Element's timeline for completion has been extended, staff believes that this project should be completed independently of the update.
