CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT ATTORNEY CONTRACT The Board approved and authorized the Chair to sign a contract with Coleman, Gledhill and Hargrave for legal representation for the Child Support Office at an hourly cost of $60.00. B. BUDGET ORDINANCE AMENDMENT #14 The Board approved budget amendment #14 and the capital project ordinance for the Enhanced 911 project as stated below: EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM FUND Source - Charges for Service $ 600,000 6 Appropriation - Public Safety 600,000 (To budget for Emergency Telephone System Fund) ENHANCED 911 PROJECT CAPITAL PROJECT ORDINANCE Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners that pursuant to Section 13.2 of Chapter 159 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, the following capital project is hereby adopted.

This item was removed and placed immediately after the Consent E. WHITE OAK SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY PLAN This item was removed and placed immediately after the Consent Agenda. VOTE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA: UNANIMOUS ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA D. MATERNITY CARE COORDINATION POSITION The purpose of this request is to convert a temporary maternity care coordinator position to permanent time - limited until June 30, 1993. Recruitment to fill this temporary position with no benefits has been difficult. The Health Department received a grant for $8,750 which will allow them to employ a temporary maternity care coordinator to provide services to additional medicaid recipients. This money will revert back to the state if not used before July 1, 1992. Medicaid revenue will be sufficient to continue the position. 3 Commissioner Willhoit suggested that instead of providing a full benefit package which would include contributing to the State Retirement system, that the County provide a set amount of money that this employee could use to pay for medical insurance. John Link explained that the revenues will more than cover the salary and benefits of this position and he expects that to continue. Commissioner Insko expressed her desire that this person be allowed to contribute to the State Retirement system. She would like that there not be any further temporary positions created. In answer to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis, John Link indicated that the County is going to improve its tracking system on each position so it can be shown what revenues are received for each position. The State has made a shift from providing grants to providing payment for services. Commissioner Gordon stated that this position should not be made permanent until the county considered the status of current temporary employees and the policy issues surrounding temporary positions. Commissioner Willhoit noted that this is a service that is needed and the Board should handle it now instead of in the budget deliberations because it is a self- supporting position. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Insko to convert the temporary Maternity Care Coordination position to a permanent, time -- limited position through June 30, 1993. The continuation of this position for FY 93 -94 would depend on the medicaid revenue generated by the position and the caseload demand experience. VOTE: AYES, 3; NOES, 2 (Commissioners Gordon and Halkiotis) E.

THERE WERE NO CITIZEN COMMENTS AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to adopt the order closing a right --of -way located between Boulder Bluff (SR 2020) and Wolf's Court (SR 2019) in Wolf's Pond Subdivision. VOTE: UNANIMOUS VII. REPORTS A. REPORT TO THE COORDINATION AND CONSULTATION COMMITTEE John Link reported that at the January 14,1991 meeting, the Coordination and Consultation Committee (CCC) endorsed the establishment of a committee to develop options for a process that would result in relocating all traffic operations from the Horace Williams Airport to a new airport site. He noted that the committee looked at the Person County Airport and the Raleigh - Durham Airport with the possibility that they could take the traffic from Horace - Williams. It was the committee's determination that a mediator was needed to talk with the different groups and reach a conclusion. Chair Carey emphasized that no action can be taken on hiring a mediator unless all jurisdictions and the University approve. He has sent a copy of the report to Chatham County and invited them to participate in any further discussion there may be on this issue. He received a letter and a resolution from Madeline G. Levine and the Executive Committee of SCRAP. They asked that the Board appropriate no additional money for the purpose of considering or searching for a site for a new or relocated airport in Orange County and that the Board not depute any member of the Board of County Commissioners or any County employee or private citizen to participate in any airport relocation process. John Link indicated that Raleigh- Durham Airport is willing to continue receiving general aviation and that they are supportive of a reliever airport in a nearby county. Commissioner Insko emphasized that the University is the driving force and they should pay for the outside mediator because they stand to gain the most. She prefers that a local mediator be used. Chair Carey noted that this issue will be brought back to the Board the last meeting in August or the first meeting in September. The 5 resolution from SCRAP will be considered at that time. There was a consensus of the Board that no County money should be used for this project at this time. Michael Jolly on behalf of SCRAP read the resolution. He emphasized that the majority of the people in Orange County do not want an airport. Steven Levine stated that he feels that the University is the motivating force behind this relocation issue and he sees no reason for the County to be involved. The Raleigh- Durham Airport is close and convenient. The report was received as information. B. PUBLIC HEARING OPTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY STATION Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Insko to rescind the action taken on May 4, 1992 which specified the public hearing for University Station to be held on June 29, 1992. VOTE: UNANIMOUS It was the consensus of the Board to hold the public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment on August 24, 1992 (regular quarterly public hearing) and to hold the public hearing on the Planned Development on November 23, 1992 at the regular quarterly public hearing. C. REPORT ON BUSINESS ACTIVITY Economic Development Director Ted Abernathy provided to the Board information about recent business expansions and relocations and provided an update on Economic Development Commission activities. In essence he reported that in the past two years 202 businesses have moved to, started, or expanded in Orange County. They have produced close to 1,500 new jobs, invested $57.6 million, and absorbed 1.4 million square feet of space. Seven of the top ten private businesses have expanded or announced expansions in the past two years. Also four of the top five manufacturers have added facilities and employees in the past two years. Ted Abernathy stated that Orange County does not have an industrial park. It needs to be determined if this is a high priority. VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA A.

BACKGROUND: since project inception, expenses for the Enhanced 911 project, funded by monthly telephone subscriber fees, have been accounted for through a capital project ordinance. Now that Enhanced 911 has been implemented, and the County is beginning to incur recurring monthly operational charges, it is appropriate to account for E911 expenses in a special revenue fund rather than a capital project fund. The attached capital project ordinance will expire the existing Enhanced 911 capital project and re- establish the 1991 -92 appropriation of $600,000 in a special revenue fund, the Emergency Telephone System Fund. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners adopt the proposed budget amendment and capital project ordinance. 2 ORANGE COUNTY PROPOSED 1991 -92 BUDGET AMENDMENTS The 1991 -92 Orange County Budget Ordinance, as amended, is amended as follows: BEFORE AMENDMENT EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM FUND: Source: Charges for Service $ Appropriation: Public Safety AMENDMENT 0 $600,000 0 600,000 To budget for Emergency Telephone System fund.

BACKGROUND: The County entered into a contract with Southern Media Design and Production, Inc. to provide video and audio production services for the 24 -Hour Courthouse Project, "In Touch With Orange County ". The contract includes costs for preproduction, production and postproduction services, technical assistance and project consultation for the development of the project. The original proposal was for $22,240. However, in an effort to reduce costs, the County was able to procure donated services from WTVD for video shooting. This donation resulted in a reduction of $4,520 in the contract. The County subsequently entered into a contract with Southern Media Design and Production, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $17,720. Although the contract outlined the responsibilities and an estimation of the work hours involved, taping the audio narration proved to be more time- consuming than anticipated (an additional time of approximately 3 1/2 hours). In addition, the video was enhanced with the integration of music. A fee of $600.00 was charged by the recording company to permit our use of this copyrighted material. Hence, the contract should be amended to include these additional costs totalling $843.90. The total budget amount for the 24 -Hour Project is $50,000. To date, expenditures for the project include: Expenditures: Computer Hardware $18,680.10 Training $ 8,000.00 Kiosk $ 2,582.00 Laser Disc Production $ 1,400.00 Total Expended to date: $30,662.10 �J The following chart summarizes the budget for this project: Total 24 -Hour Project Budget: $50,000.00 Amount Expended to date: M.562.10 Balance to date: $19,337.90 Payment to Southern Media: $18,563.90 Remaining Balance in 24 -Hour Project after all expenditures: $ 774.00 RECOMMENDATION(S): Amend the contract amount to Southern Media Design and Production, Inc. of Chapel Hill from $17,720.00 to $18,563.90; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board. ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 1, 1992 SUBJECT: Maternity Care Coordination Position DEPARTMENT: HEALTH ATTACHMENT(S): None 1 Action Agenda Item No.ZL2 PUBLIC BEARING: Yes X No INFORMATION CONTACT: HEALTH DIRECTOR'S OFFICE X2411 TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732 -8181 Chapel Hill - 968 -4501 Mebane - 227 -2031 Durham - 688 -7331 PURPOSE: To convert a temporary maternity care coordinator position to permanent time - limited until June 30, 1993. BACKGROUND: 1) on January 6, 1992, the Board of Commissioners authorized the health department to apply for additional state funds to increase maternity care coordination services. The department has received confirmation of a grant award of $8,750. These funds would allow the department to employ a temporary maternity care coordinator to provide services to additional medicaid recipients. Medicaid revenue for the maternity care coordination services would be sufficient to continue the position. 2) on March 24, 1992, the Board of Commissioners approved a budget ordinance amendment to accept the grant award. 3) Recruitment of a professional social worker is proving difficult for a temporary position without benefits. Therefore, the department requests that the permanent, time- limited position be created by the commissioners to facilitate filling this needed position. 4) The need for the position has been previously documented. The health department's record in increasing medicaid revenues has been demonstrated, however, the department will provide a report of the revenue generated by this specific position with the 1993 -94 budget to assess whether the position should be continued. RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Manager recommends that the temporary maternity care coordination position be converted to a permanent, time - limited position through June 30, 1993. The continuation of this position for FY 93 -94 would be evaluated based on the medicaid revenue generated by the position and the caseload demand experience.

BACKGROUND: Property owners in Wolf's Pond Subdivision have submitted a petition to close a right -of -way located between Boulder Bluff (SR 2020) and Wolf's Court (SR 2019) in Wolf's Pond Subdivision. There are several reasons for abandoning this section of right -of -way. First, all four lot owners adjoining the right -of -way have petitioned for it to be abandoned. Second, the road in the right -of -way has never been constructed. Finally, the right -of --way does not provide ingress or egress to any of the lots in the subdivision. The resolution declaring the Board's intent to close this right -of -way has been published as required by law, and a notice of the closing and public hearing was prominently posted at each end of the right -of -way proposed to be closed. During the public hearing of this matter, the Board must satisfy itself that closing this right -of -way is not contrary to the public interest and that no individual owning property in the vicinity of the abandoned right -of -way or in the subdivision in which it is located would thereby be deprived of a reasonable means of ingress and egress to his or her property. An order for the Board's consideration following the public hearing is an attachment to this action agenda item abstract. RECOMMENDATION: If the requirements of the proposed order are satisfied, adopt the order. 1 2 NOTICE OF THE ADOPTION BY THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF CONMISSIONERS OF A RESOLUTION EXPRESSNG THE LN7EN'T OF THE BOARD OF CONI71H,SSIONERS OF ORANGE COUNTY TO CLOSE A RIGHT -OF -WAY LOCATED BETNNTEv' BOULDER BLUFF (SR 2020) AND WOLF'S COURT (SR 2019) rr NVOLF'S POND SUBDIVISION RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF CONZIISSIONERS OF IN7ENT TO CLOSE A RIGHT -OF -WAY IN NVOLF'S POND SUBDIVISION WHEREAS, petitioners Frances L.

BACKGROUND: Property owners in Wolf's Pond Subdivision have submitted a petition to close a right -of -way located between Boulder Bluff (SR 2020) and Wolf's Court (SR 2019) in Wolf's Pond Subdivision. There are several reasons for abandoning this section of right -of -way. First, all four lot owners adjoining the right -of -way have petitioned for it to be abandoned. Second, the -road in the right -of -way has never been constructed. Finally, the right -of -way does not provide ingress or egress to any of the lots in the subdivision. Following adoption of the resolution, State statutes require that it be advertised for four successive weeks prior to the public hearing. The Planning Staff recommends adoption of the resolution to abandon the right -of -way and the scheduling of a public hearing to receive citizen comment on the proposal. The public hearing can be conducted at the Board of Commissioners June 1, 1992 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval per the Planning Staff recommendation. 0 § 153A -241: Closing public roads or easements. A county may permanently close any public road or any ease- ment within the county and not within a city, except public roads or easements for public roads under the control and supervision of the Department of Transportation. The board of commissioners shall first adopt a resolution declaring its intent to close the public road or easement and calling a public hearing on the question. The board shall cause the resolution to be published once a week for four successive weeks before the hearing, a copy of the resolution to be sent by registered or certified mail to each owner as shown on the county tax records of property adjoining the public road or ease - ment who did not join in the request to nave the road or easement closed, and a notice of the closing and public hearing to be prolni- nentiv posted in at least two piaces along the road or easement. At the hearing the board shall hear all interested persons who appear with respect to whether the closing would be detrimental to the public interest or to any individual property rights. If, after the hearing, the board of commissioners is satisfied that closing the public road or easement is not contrary to the public interest and (in the case of a road) that no individual owning property in the vicinity of the road or in the subdivision in which it is located would thereby be deprived of reasonable means of ingress and egress to his property, the board may adopt an order closing the road or easement. A certified copy of the order (or judgment of the court) shall be filed in the office of the register of deeds of the county. Any person aggrieved by the closing of a public road or an ease- ment may appeal the board of commissioners' order to the appropri- ate division of the General Court of justice within 30 days after the day the order is adopted. The court shall hear the matter de novo and has jurisdiction to try the issues arising and to order the road or easement closed upon proper findings of fact by the trier of fact. No cause of action founded upon the invalidity of a proceeding taken in closing a public road or an easement may be asserted except in an action or proceeding begun within 30 days after the day the order is adopted. Upon the closing of 'a public road or an easement pursuant to this section, all right, title, and interest in the right -of -way is vested in those persons owning lots or parcels of land adjacent to the road or easement, and the title of each adioirning landowner, for the width of his abutting land, extends to the center line of the public road or easement. However, the right, title or interest vested in an adjo- ing landowner by this paragraph remains subject to any public utility use or facility located on, over, or under the road or ease - menr immediately before its closing, until the landowner or any successor thereto Days to the utility involved the reasonable cost of removing and relocating the facility.

We have no comment on the petition to abandon right - of -way in Wolf's Pond subdivision because the area was never developed and no one has ingress or egress. 2. The concept plan for Raineywood should have sight distance easements at Daniels Farm Road and the right -of= -way should tie in with radii and not an angle. 3.

BACKGROUND: At the January 14, 1991, meeting, the Coordination and Consultation Committee (CCC) endorsed the establish- ment of a committee composed of management represen- tatives from UNC --CH, the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and Orange County to develop options for a process that would result in relocation of all traffic operations from the Horace Williams Airport to a new airport site. The charge to the Managers' Committee was expressed in slightly different forms by the elected boards of each governmental unit which appointed a representative to the task force. (Please refer to Endnote #3, page 23 and Appendix E of the report.) The Managers' Committee presented the report to the CCC May 18, 1991. The recommendation from the committee is to pursue a preliminary dialogue process as described on pages 19 -21 of the report that would identify interests and concerns shared by the major stakeholder groups, explore previously unasked and unanswered questions relevant to the relocation issue and determine if there is a sufficient basis for developing a mutually satisfactory solution. RECOMMENDATION: The report is presented for information and discussion. No action is recommended at this time. I OR AN G E C 0 U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 1 1992 Agenda Abstract Item # VJr- Jq SUBJECT: REPORT - PUBLIC HEARING OPTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY STATION DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Schedule - Public Hearing Planning Director X2592 Options PHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732 --8181 Mebane 227 -2031 Durham 688 -7331 Chapel Hill 967 -9251 PURPOSE: To receive a report on the options available for conducting public hearings on the proposed University Station project. BACKGROUND: At its May 4, 1992 meeting, the Board of Commissioners considered approval of the advertisement for the May 26, 1992 public hearing. Included among the items was an application for a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment involved the proposed University Station project, a planned rural village. Because of time constraints associated with assembling multiple properties, the applicants had requested that a special public hearing be set in conjunction with the May'26 public hearing. The County Attorney informed the Planning Department that a special hearing was not possible. The wording of Article 2.2.14.3 of the Zoning Ordinance was such that principal amendments to the Comprehensive Plan; e.g., University Station, could only be considered at the February public hearing. The Board of Commissioners approved the May 26, 1992 public hearing notice, including consideration of a proposed amendment to Article 2.2.14.3 to allow the Commissioners more flexibility in setting public hearings on principal amendments. The Board also approved June 29, 1992 as the special hearing date for the University Station project [see Option A]. 2 Since the May 4 Commissioners meeting, the public hearing on the proposed amendment to Article 2.2.14.3 has been held. Revisions to the proposal have been suggested, however, to allow the Commissioners to set special hearings on principal amendments, but only at another quarterly public hearing; e.g., May, August, and November. A Board of Commissioners decision on the amendment is projected for August 3. Because of the revisions, discussions have been held with the University Station applicants to determine if an August 24 public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment, coupled with a November 24 hearing on the Planned Development application, would be workable in terms of satisfying option commitments [see Option E]. The applicants have indicated that the option is workable, provided a Board of Commissioners decision could be expected before Christmas of 1992. Because of the projected approval date [August 3] for the amendment to Article 2.2.14.3, the scheduled public hearing date [June 29] for the University Station project must be changed. The attached schedule lists various public hearing options for consideration of the University Station project by the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners. In each case, consideration of the Planned Development application would be contingent upon the Board of Commissioners approving the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Also, the N.C. General Statutes require that each public hearing be advertised, for the first time, not less than 10 nor more than 25 days before the date of the hearing.

Memorandum to: John Link From: Ted Abernathy Date: May 29, 1992 Subject: Business Expansion & Relocations (and EDC Activities) Enclosed is information concerning business growth in Orange County. I have summarized the key points with bullets in this cover letter. I felt that I should provide more information and let you determine what you want or need. Included in this package are:' . 1) Specific highlights of business growth 2) A summary of expansions, relocations and new businesses in the past 2 years 3) A summary of EDC activities and accomplishments 4) Some ideas for new ways to keep the commissioners and the public informed of local successes 5) Several attachments including - EDC publications, SBTDC report,'approved new development in Chapel Hill, newspaper clippings of successes the past 2 years Summary of Key Points * In the past two years 202 businesses have moved to, started, or expanded in Orange County. They have produced close to 1,500 new jobs, invested $57.6 million, and absorbed 1.4 million square feet of space. (These are the ones we know about, no doubt there are a few more.) * 7 of the top 10 private businesses in Orange County have expanded or announced expansions in the past 2 years * Several new significant businesses have been recruited to Orange County 0 * 4 of the top 5 manufacturers have added facilities and employees in the past 2 years ORANGE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION POST OFFICE BOX 1177 • HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 (919) 732 -8181 (919) 968 -4501 (919) 688 -7331 (919) 227 -2031 FAX (919) 644.3004 • * vacancy rates in Orange County have improved significantly despite the national recession * The county's three largest multi - business buildings, the Europa Center, Carr Mill Mall and the Hillsborough Business Center have all filled up in the past 2 years absorbing over 300,000 sq. ft. * Although the EDC operating budget has remained the same for 3 years the county's commitment to Economic Development has increased through contributions to SBTDC, the visitor's Bureau and the Sewer Bottleneck. SBTDC and the Bottleneck are already producing results. * Several major efforts are currently underway which will prepare the county for planned growth in the future. I hope this information meets your needs. I recognize that some citizens are unbelievers in the county's recent success in Economic Development or do not believe a good business climate exists. The numbers do not support their criticism. Our unemployment rate remains the lowest in the state. Our average wage is fifth among the 100 counties, and wage growth has been in the top ten counties over the past decade. Home sales, starts and value are near the top among the counties. Rental rates for commercial property are to other urban areas and our downtown vacancy comparable all rates are very low. Although we do no advertising the EDC continues to get about 20 new clients each month and currently have 150 active clients. The EDC would welcome in ideas on ways to get this message to the citizens. I have proposed some ideas.

Over the past 5 quarters they have worked with 165 Orange County businesses providing free financing, business planning, and legal assistance. A SBTDC report and a series of successes appears in the attachments. Cha el Hill/Orancre County Visitor's Bureau - The new director begins work on June 1st. The bureau will work to extract a greater economic impact out of our existing visitor industry. The EDC has acted to bring the bureau to this point. Hillsborough Sewer Bottleneck - After 4 years of stalled negotiations the EDC, and a commitment for county funding, forced a settlement of the sewer problem. The resolution involved 4 monetary partners and 5 easements; construction is underway and is scheduled for completion next month. Current Projects Joint Planning - The EDC and planning board continue to work on new recommendations for growth promotion and control for the interstate corridor in central Orange County. Retail Analysis - With the free help of a UNC -CH Public Policy intern and professor we are currently completing a project that will identify the types and sizes of businesses in Downtown Chapel Hill. Working with the merchants, we will then use the information to target new businesses to complement the retail mix. Tax-Base-Study - This fall we completed an analysis of all the non - residential tax -base of the Town of Chapel Hill by examining all 700 'non-residential parcels. We will be completing Carrboro later this summer and Hillsborough late in the year. By identifying all current and potential property we can work with planning to determine long range build -out models. Recruitment Campaign - Last fall the EDC launched an innovative network recruitment campaign to identify businesses that might be interested in relocating. Because the EDC spends no money on advertising or recruitment travel, this approach allowed us to compete for new business. To date, about 30 positive leads have been generated. r 1 �J Downtown Plan Work - The EDC is working with a mayor appointed group in Chapel Hill to create new development guidelines for the downtown core. When complete these guidelines should help funnel redevelopment into downtown. Strategic Plan Update - This summer we will begin a process to update the Strategic Plan adopted in 1989. The plan laid out 64 action items, of which 63 have been accomplished or implemented. Publications - Twelve new publications have been created over the past 2 years and are available to help local businesses and citizens or new businesses. They range from a comprehensive Statistical Abstract to a regulatory guide to a variety of business lists. A complete list is in the attachments. Public Information - The EDC staff has spoken to 24 groups this year totaling close to 1,000 citizens. We write a bi- weekly column for the Chapel Hill Newspaper, a monthly column for the Chamber Newsletter, issue press releases, conduct press conferences, place articles in regional media and appear on radio and cable. Close to 100 articles placed by or written about Economic Development in Orange County have appeared in the last 100 weeks. Community Involvement - To try to be visible, and represent the comprehensive nature of Economic Development the staff is active in many organizations including; JOBS Advisory Board (chairman), Triangle J Recycling Task Force (co- chair), Durham Tech Small Business Advisory Board, Employment Security Board, Triangle Transit Authority, Hillsborough Historic Summit, Public Private Partnership, Chambers, Regional Marketing Group (chairman) and Orange County Education Foundation. r 1 �J • New Ideas For Better Communication 1. EDC Ouarterly Reports - A formal reporting mechanism, that would focus on specific areas, might help answer questions that people have. We already do a newsletter that is sent to about 1000 local leaders and businesses, but the content may not be specific enough. I began doing an oral report to the Chapel Hill Town Council last winter and it seems to be working. 2. An Annual State of the Economy Breakfast -- I would propose sponsoring an annual event, probably early September, where the Commissioners' would share the local conditions with the community. This year we would present trend data from the census, business growth, unemployment data and any new major initiatives. The raw numbers show a very healthy local economy, but I would also include comparative data with other communities, including tax base information. • 3. Elected Official Tours - The EDC is currently planning Y P g a series of small tours for elected officials later this summer. The officials and the press will have an opportunity to see many of the Orange County businesses and speak with their managers. 4. Welcome Letters - I would propose that for all new or expanded businesses the five commissioners would sign a letter welcoming them to Orange County. This would help to keep the commissioners up -to -date on the new businesses and would be good public relations with the business. 5. Invitation to EDC Meetin s - On behalf of the EDC Board I would extend an invitation to each commissioner to come to a meeting and share their ideas or concerns with us. L� • r1 LJ 1 .0 tl O R A N G E C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date June 1, 1992 Action Agenda Item # 11r- A SUBJECT: NEW HOPE SPRINGS - SOUTH, SECTION ONE - PRELIMINARY PLAN ACTION BY: July 16, 1992 DEPARTMENT: PLANNING ATTACHMENT(S): Resolution of Approval Application Vicinity Map Preliminary Plan 5/18/92 Draft Planning Board Minutes PUBLIC HEARING: Yes _X —No INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Cameron Extension 2580 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough - 732 -8181 Durham - 688 -7331 Mebane - 227 -2031 Chapel Hill - 967- 9251/968 -4501 PURPOSE: To consider the Preliminary Plan for New Hope Springs - South Subdivision, Section One. BACKGROUND: The property is located in the northwest corner of Chapel Hill Township on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129). Section One is zoned Residential -1, with the northwestern half of the property in the Protected Watershed portion of the Upper Eno Watershed. The Land Use Plan designations are Rural Residential and Water Supply Watershed. Adjacent land use is residential. The most recent (1987) traffic count information for this portion of Davis Road is 100 trips per day. The total acreage of Section One is approximately 36 acres. Twenty -sixty (26) new residential lots are proposed which average 1.23 acres in size. All lots will be served by new public roads, individual wells, and individual septic tanks. Because the subdivision may contain as many as 69 lots and is proposed to have only one entrance on Davis Road, the Planning Staff recommends that New Hope Springs Drive be extended on the northern end to provide a second entrance on Davis Road in the vicinity of lots 9 and 10. 2 The Preliminary Plan varies from the Concept Plan in that the Concept Plan had one entrance proposed where the second entrance will be required on the Preliminary. The Concept Plan, however, did not include the area shown on the Preliminary as lots 1,2, and 26 where the applicant now proposes a single entrance at Hope Valley Drive. The Planning Staff consulted with Fire Marshal and the Director of Emergency Management as well as the Department of Transportation to determine that a second entrance would be needed and to identify any problems with sight distance at Davis Road. With the second entrance at New Hope Springs Drive, a right turn taper will be required in addition to some clearing of low vegetation on lot 2A east of lot 9. A left turn lane is necessary for a safe entrance at Hope Valley Drive. other agency review comments were solicited and are on file in the Planning Department. The Preliminary Plan was reviewed by the Planning Board on May 18, 1992. The Planning Board recommended approval with the extension of New Hope Springs Drive as a second entrance subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. Following the Planning Board meeting, the Planning Staff investigated alternatives for locating a second access for the proposed subdivision. Providing such an access is dependent upon development of adjacent properties. As shown on the map included in the attachments, an alternative second access could only be provided via existing private roads serving adjacent residential development. Upgrading of those roads and acquisition of additional right -of -way would, in all probability, cost more than providing a connection between New Hope Springs Drive and Davis Road. Ultimately, New Hope Springs - South has the potential to include 69 lots. Based on the limited access to the subdivision, the Planning Staff feels that a second entrance on Davis Road or other public road should be provided. A second entrance does not have to be constructed as part of Section one, but the right -of -way for the extension of New Hope Springs Road to connect with Davis Road should be dedicated to the County as part of the Final Plat approval. A temporary turnaround r 2a can be provided in the location of the proposed cul- de -sac circle. If the applicant can provide a second access (other than by the extension of New Hope Springs Road to Davis Road) to the subdivision as part of the development of Section Two, the right -of -way will be released by the County to the developer and /or property owner(s), and the cul -de -sac circle may be paved. If no other access can be provided, the applicant, as part of Section Two, must construct the connection of New Hope Springs Road to Davis Road and eliminate the temporary turnaround.

FROM: MIKE TAPP, FIRE MARSHAL �6 RE: NEW HOPE SPRINGS - SOUTH SUBDIVISION DATE: MAY 7, 1992 11 Communications Emergency Medical Services Fire Marshal We had a discussion with Mr. Joey Hopkins, Department of Transportation, and voiced our concerns about the importance of extending New Hope Springs Drive to Davis Rd. We explained that opening this road assures accessibility for fire apparatus and other emergency vehicles from both directions during times of emergencies. Mr. Hopkins agreed that opening this road was possible and that a request be submitted to the Department of Transportation. To that end, I am requesting that discussions with the developers and the Department of Transportation be held to ensure that this road be will be opened. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me. 12 problem. Also, there was a recommendation that the rights -of -way for Davis Road and Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road be dedicated. This requirement has been added on the preliminary plan and in the Resolution of Approval. The Concept Plan was reviewed by the Planning Board on February 17, 1991. At that time, the Planning Board approved the Concept Plan with a Class B private road. The Planning -Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for White Oak Subdivision with a Class B private road based on the findings contained in Section IV- B -3 -d -1 of the Subdivision Regulations and subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. A copy of the Resolution is an attachment to these minutes on pages Burklin asked if a drainfield could be purchased from an adjoining lot at some point in time. Kirk responded that an easement could be obtained from an adjoining lot if there was a suitable area for septic field. Mr. Davis, the applicant, indicated that the adjoining property is owned by a church who may be interested in purchasing that lot for a parsonage. If that occurs, then the drain field would be on the church property. Burklin asked about the concern of the County Engineer that the road could possibly become a shortcut. Gray noted that concern was addressed on the Concept Plan and it was felt that would not be the case. Mr. Davis indicated that he had been monitoring the road and it appears that people are unaware of the location of the road. Thus, he felt there would not be any problem with the road being used as a shortcut. MOTION: Burklin moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Hoecke. VOTE: Unanimous. M 2 Springs South - Section One ( ) New Hope P (26 Lots Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Emily Cameron. The property is located in the northwest corner of Chapel Hill Township on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129). Section One is zoned Residential -1, with the northwestern half of the 13 property in the Protected Watershed portion of the Upper Eno Watershed. The Land Use Plan designations are Rural Residential and Water Supply Watershed. Adjacent land use is residential. The most recent (1967) traffic count information for this portion of Davis Road is 100 trips per day. The total acreage of Section One is approximately 36 acres. Twenty -sixty (26) new residential lots are proposed which average 1.23 acres in size. All lots will be served by new public roads, individual wells, and individual septic tanks. Because the subdivision may contain as many as 69 lots and is proposed to have only one entrance on Davis Road, the Planning Staff recommends that New Hope Springs Drive be extended on the northern end to provide a second entrance on Davis Road in the vicinity of lots 9 and 10. The Preliminary Plan varies from the Concept Plan "in that the Concept Plan had one entrance proposed where the second entrance will be required on the Preliminary. The Concept Plan, however, did not include the area shown on the Preliminary as lots 1,2, and 26 where the applicant now proposes a single entrance at Hope Valley Drive. The Planning Staff consulted with Fire Marshal and the Director of Emergency Management as well as the Department of Transportation to determine that a second entrance would be needed and to identify any problems with sight distance at Davis Road. With the second entrance at New Hope Springs Drive, a right turn taper will be required in addition to some clearing of low vegetation on lot 2A east of lot 9. A left turn lane is necessary for a safe entrance at Hope valley Drive. Other agency review comments were solicited and are on file in the Planning Department. The Concept Plan was reviewed by the Planning Board on September 16, 1991. Conditions included in the Concept Plan review have been addressed. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for New Hope Springs - South, Section One, with public roads built to State standards, and subject to the conditions 0V contained in the Resolution of Approval. A copy of the Resolution is an attachment to these minutes on pages Burklin asked if the possiblity of 69 lots rather than 26 is the reason for the request for two entrances and if the right -of -way could be reserved than cutting on through the subdivision. Cameron responded that the total number of lots made the second entrance necessary. She added that Staff had asked the Fire Marshall about having an easement reserved for emergency access only, but due to construction standards, maintenance and security questions, a public entrance was recommended. Cantrell asked if the Fire Marshall's concern was with the 26 original lots or the possibility of 69 lots and the entire tract. Cameron responded that his concern was with the whole subdivision. Gray stated that he felt one concern of the Fire Marshall was the possible distance to be traveled around if there was only one entrance. Steve Kelly, developer, asked what is meant by emergency vechicles. The Board responded that the primary concern is fire fighting equipment. Eidenier stated'that, particularly in rural areas, the fire department prefers more than one entrance when a subdivision road ends in a cul- de -sac. Water trucks need to be able to get in quickly and have sufficient turn -- around space and the ability to park on both sides of a road. Mr. Kelly continued that he had talked with the Fire Marshall and that they had not talked with the Planning Staff regarding changes to development in the County that would address those issues. He noted that they indicated to him that they were unconcerned with the number of entrances as long as all the roads were named and had the proper signage. He noted also that the desire of the Fire Marshall for all subdivisions in Orange County is to have a loop road that would serve an entire community. Such a road in this subdivision would serve only the 26 lots and not the possible development of the remaining 43 lots. He noted that discussions with firemen had indicated they did not expect every subdivision to have loop roads, backing up fire trucks is done all the time. Mr. Kelly indicated he felt this was a new requirement that the Planning Staff is asking for primarily because of the problems with the recent fire at Flint Ridge Apartments. Thus, he felt more discussion and It 15 work should be done before Planning Staff is allowed to make such a recommendation. Cantrell indicated she understood Mr. Kelly's concern but that the Board could only deal with the information at hand and not this new issue. Questions were asked about the location of the road and Mr. Kelly responded the road was located as requested by NCDOT for what they felt were reasons of safety. Steve Yuhasz, surveyor, stated that the three lots on the cul -de -sac on the Concept Plan had been eliminated in favor of lots further to the southeast shown on the preliminary. Eidenier stated that the problem seems to be that the Board is not looking at the same map that was in the Concept Plan presentation. Burklin asked for clarification of Cameron's review of the plan with the Fire Marshall. Cameron responded that Mr. Tapp had viewed the plan and roads to serve the entire subdivision (69 lots). Cameron continued that initally, staff wanted to find out if there was a way to reserve an emergency access only. The twenty feet unobstructed access required would require maintenance. Thus, the best recommendation that could be arrived at was extension of the road. Eidenier asked if this applicant had been asked about providing an area for recycling and Cameron responded that she was not aware of that discussion at the time this plan was submitted. Burklin asked if the fire departments had suggested alternatives such as larger turnaround a =eas. Cameron noted that Staff had tried to provide other alternatives but were unsuccessful. Jobsis asked if another entrance was discussed at the Concept Plan stage. Cameron responded that the Staff was aware of the applicant's plans for adjacent property, and did not suggest using adjacent property for a second entrance. Cameron indicated on the Concept Plan where a stubout will be required in Section Two to also improve access. Gray asked if NCDOT's recommendation had changed regarding the location of the entrance. Cameron responded that DOT had been asked to evaluate each proposed entrance, not to recommend only one 16 r of the two entrances. MOTION: Reid moved approval as recommended by Planning Staff. Seconded by Boland. VOTE: 8 in favor. 1 opposed (Eidenier - concerned with three roads coming into Davis Road so close together). AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS TO BE HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING (5/26/92) a.

Zoning Atlas Amendment (1) Z -2 -92 P & S Sporting Goods Presentation by Emily Cameron. This item is to consider a proposed Zoning Atlas amendment in Bingham Township. The property in question is located on the south side of NC highway 54 between Morrow Mill Road (SR 1958) and Orange Grove Road (SR 1006). The total area proposed for rezoning contains 3.98 acres and is described as part of Lot 28 of Tax Map 26 in Bingham Township. The current zoning is Agricultural Residential. The zoning districts proposed are 2.06 acres of Local Commercial -1 and 1. -92- acres of Neighborhood Commercial -2. In the adopted Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the property is designated Agricultural Residential and Rural Neighborhood Activity Node. The proposed rezonings will maximize the five -acre allotments of NC -2 and LC- 1 zoning at this activity node. Each of the proposed zoning lots will have direct access to NC.Highway 54, an arterial. Each lot also has suitable area for ground absorption sewage treatment as evaluated by Orange County Environmental Health. Adjacent property to the south and west is undeveloped and zoned Agricultural Residential. 1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda B ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT item No.—V M Meeting Date: June 1, 1992 SUBJECT: Joint Orange Chatham Community Action - Additional Funding --------------- - - - - -- - --- - -: - - -- DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING YES.

BACKGROUND: JOCCA requests a special funding allocation from the Board to eliminate a deficit experienced during the current fiscal year. It is anticipated JOCCA's overall agency budget deficit will be $40,850 as a result of reduced funding allocations from local governments JOCCA serves. JOCCA has identified $4,714 as the deficit amount not funded by the County in their Fiscal Year 1991 -92 request. For Fiscal Year 1991 -92 JOCCA requested $87,314. The Board approved a nondepartmental allocation of $82,600. If the Board acts favorably to this request the funds should be appropriated from the Commissioners' Contingency. RECOMMENDATION(S): As the Board decides. DISTRIBUTED OINT ORANGE CHATHAM COMMUNITY ACTION P.O.

(JOCCA), is currently facing a fiscal year -end deficit. Approximately 90% of the deficit has occurred due to a shortfall in the Agency's request to local government and our county government for support of the Elderly Nutrition Component. Due to the recession and increased unemployment, a greater demand for services has been realized by this component. The Board is therefore requesting consideration by the Orange County Board of Commissioners for a special allocation of $4,714.00, which represents the deficit amount in JOCCA's budget request to the Orange County Government in FY 91 -92. The commissioner's prompt deliberation in responding to this request will be greatly appreciated. FB:ea xc: John Link, Couni Albert Kittrell Gloria M.

Thank you for your help in being the custodian for this money in recent months. To date, we have raised right at $50,000, and we are encouraged by the prospect of several large gifts in the near future. We have been very fortunate in getting David Anna of the Resolute Company to give his services in supervising the up- fitting of the facility. The Building Inspector has approved our plans, and we are now set to start the renovations. We appreciate all the County has done and is committed to doing which has made this outreach to our aging population possible. Sincerely, Robert Seym urn P.S.

BACKGROUND: In November 1989, the governing boards of Orange County, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Durham County contracted with Coulter Associates, Landscape Architects & Land Planners, to prepare a master plan for the New Hope Creek corridor..When the contract was prepared, work was projected for completion in three months. Eighteen months were spent on preparation of the Master Plan, which was presented to the elected officials of the four jurisdictions on April 30, 1991. The process of working with the New Hope Corridor Advisory Committee to draft, receive public input, and revise the Master Plan took longer than the consultant had anticipated. However, he chose to continue work on the project and submitted a request for additional compensation in May, 1990. Similar requests were submitted to the Durham City- County Planning D rtment in March of 1991. epa The cost of work described in the contract signed by the four jurisdictions was $20,000. The total payment was shared equally at $5000 each. 2 Mr. Coulter's request for additional compensation totaled $19,500, itemized in the attachment dated March 6, 1991. The Durham City - County Planning Department evaluated the request and recommended that $10,550 (54 %) in additional compensation be shared equally among the four jurisdictions. Orange County's share is $2637.50. The Durham County Board of Commissioners approved payment of its share on July 8, 1991, with the condition that the City of Durham also agree to pay its share. The Durham City Council approved the request for payment on April 29, 1992. Durham City and County are proceeding with payment of $5275 to Coulter Associates.

Coulter, ASLA V THE NEW HOPE CORR7BOR ADXIISO Y. ors. -_ ITl'EE \\ 5 \ may 20, 1991 0 To: The County Board Chairmen of Durham and orange Counties The Mayors of Chapel Hill and Durham The Members of the Governing Boards of Chapel Hill, Durham, Durham County Orange ew Y.ope "orridor From: Pearson Stewe.CQ�i�teem Advisory, Subject: Additional Compensation for Coulter Associates Coulter Associates was the consultant in the preparation* of the New Hope Corridor Open Space rlaster Flan report. The preparation of the plan was originally proposed by the four jurisdictions to be a project of a few months duration. It actually required about a year and a half for completion. The longer rather than the shorter duration was caused by three principal factors - the basic complexity of the corridor, the desire of the Advisory Committee to consider thoroughly all reasonable aspects of the study and the objective of the Committee to give thorough opport -dmity for .input from interested citizens and groups. Coulter Associates was aware that the work time provided for in the contract for services was exhausted at a point well before the completion of the study and called this to the attention of the Committee and the administrative agency. However, Coulter Associates continued to provide consultant services in accordance wits the needs of the study as they developed., rather than being limited to an arbitrary amount. The Advisory Committee is very grateful to Coulter Associates for the skilled professional help and for the very generous and loyal cOMMitment .to the study thst it provided. The study would not be its present excelle::t quality without that commitment. As Chairman of the Advisory Committee I fully support the reouest for Additional Compensation.. 6 2 (? 010360 -4V7 Memorandum July 3, 1991 TO: Orville W. Powell, Manager,' City of Durham Paul Warren, Acting County Manager, Durham County FROM: A. Paul Norby, Planning Direc&ensu SUBJECT: Additional Compensation for lta nt for Preparation of the New Hope Creek Corridor Master Plan In November 1989, the New Hope Advisory Committee appointed by the City of Durham, Durham County, Town of Chapel Hill, and Orange County, began work on the New Hope Creek Corridor Master Plan. An anticipated 12 week timetable turned into an 18 month period as the Committee worked carefully to develop, revise, and receive public input into the Plan. The greatly extended time frame and a somewhat expanded geographic scope for the study clearly placed upon the consultant heavy time demands for working with the Committee. With knowledge that his continued work on the project was at risk for receiving additional funding, the Consultant chose to continue his work with the Committee and submitted a request in May, 1990, for additional payment for a considerable amount of work which had already been completed. He submitted information documenting the time and efforts he had spent on the project beyond the scope and funding of the original contract. Again in March, 1991, the consultant submitted requests for additional compensation for work related to the contract. The Advisory Committee acknowledges that the consultant was expected to spend more time than originally anticipated in carrying out services to accommodate the extended planning process and enlarged geographic area. The Committee believes these services were necessary to the development of a -well- considered plan and for the public process which they facilitated. (Letter attached, from Pearson Stewart, May 20, 1991) The Committee supports the additional Consultant payment of $10,550, each jurisdiction paying $2,637.50. The Durham - Chapel Hill Study Group discussed this matter at their meeting on June 4, 1991. They asked that staff bring the matter to each of the elected bodies. 7 Staff has also reviewed Mr. Coulter's request for additional funds. While some of the items for which Mr. Coulter has requested additional compensation seem to be within the scope of the original agreement, staff recognizes that some of his work went well beyond that anticipated in the contract. Staff acknowledges the ' greatly expanded length of the Committee's planning process, and also notes that the Committee felt it necessary to expand the boundaries of the plan geographically. Staff recommends that the four jurisdictions provide additional compensation to Coulter in the amount of $10,550. The agreement between the four jurisdictions "and Coulter Associates provides for equal payment from each jurisdiction. Therefore, staff supports the recommendation that the Durham City Council and Board of County Commissioners each provide additional compensation to Coulter Associates for the additional work, in the amount of $2,637.50. The Advisory Committee and Planning staff will be conveying a similar request to the other jurisdictions. cc: Roger Walden, Planning Director, Town of Chapel Hill Marvin Collins, Planning Director, Orange County Kenneth Coulter, Coulter Associates Pearson Stewart, New Hope Creek Corridor Advisory Committee Chair Vonda Frantz, Environmental Coordinator �-Akazv �'Iepa� (919)560- 4467 MEMORANDUM �4z &F3 -4,?0 April 29, 1991 Marvin Collins, Director Orange County Planning Department 306F Revere Road Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Marvin: Several months ago we received a request from Coulter Associates for additional funds for preparation of the New Hope Corridor Open Space Master Plan. We evaluated Mr. Coulter's request for $19,500, and recommended $10,550 in additional compensation to be shared equally by the four jurisdictions ($2,637.50 each).. We communicated with your staff regarding this request and a memo was copied to you which contained a summary of the request and our recommendations (attached). This request was discussed at a Durham- Chapel Hill Committee meeting and the direction of the Committee was to bring the request to the elected bodies. The Durham Board of County Commissioners on July 8, 1991, gave the Planning Department permission to pay from its budget the County's portion of the payment, conditional upon the City also agreeing to pay its share. On April 20, 1992, the Durham City Council approved an additional $2.637.50 for Coulter Associates. Therefore, we are proceeding to request checks and will be paying soon to Coulter Associates a total of $5,275. Please let us know if you are planning to take this request to your Board of County Commissioners, or if you have already done so. If your Board will be considering this in the future, you can indicate that Durham City and County have authorized and paid their share of the additional compensation. Thank you for your assistance on this matter. If you have any further questions, please contact myself or Vonda Frantz, at 560 -4137. cerely, A.

The property is located on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129) and the west side of Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road (SR 1009) in Chapel Hill Township. The property is zoned Rural Residential (R -1). The Land Use Element--of-the Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Rural Residential. There are nine (9) lots proposed out of 28.85 acres. The average lot size is 3.2 acres. All lots, except lot 4, are proposed to be served by individual wells and septic tanks. Lot 4 does not have a suitable area for a septic tank and has been indicated as being of restricted development potential on the Preliminary Plan. A Class B private road, White Oak Drive, is proposed to serve eight (8) of the nine (9) lots. Lot 9 presently has a mobile home located on it with access off Davis Road. The applicant's private road justification is included in the attachments. The Planning Staff's evaluation of the private road request follows the applicant's submittal. The factors r 2 t used to justify the private road are: 1. Larger lots than the minimum required. 2. Setbacks significantly greater than required. 3. Restrictive Covenants to provide tree protection along property lines and prohibit further subdivision. Agency review comments were received as follows: Agency Received Erosion Control 3/20/92 County Engineer 3/25/92 Recreation and Parks 4/15/92 NCDOT 5/11/92 The Orange County Erosion Control Supervisor has indicated erosion control approvals were received previously when the road was constructed for a minor subdivision application. Also, after a site inspection by the Erosion Control Officer, drainage easements are being required on several lots. These easements have been added to the preliminary plan and are included in the Resolution of Approval. The Orange County Engineer has indicated that drainage problems may exist and should be field checked. As indicated above, the Orange County Erosion Control Officer has inspected the site and placed drainage easements on several lots. There was also concern expressed about this road being a possible shortcut. However, with this road being gravel, it should deter this problem. Also, there was a recommendation that the rights -of -way for Davis Road and Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road be dedicated. This requirement has been added on the preliminary plan and in the Resolution of Approval. The Preliminary Plan was reviewed by the Planning Board on May 18, 1992. At that time, the Planning Board recommended approval with a Class B private road based on the findings contained in Section IV- B -3 -d -1 of the Subdivision Regulations and subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for White Oak Subdivision with a Class B private road based on the findings contained in Section IV- B -3 -d -1 of the Subdivision Regulations and subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval.

The acreage to this lot is now 2.2 acres instead of 1.7 acres with a safer outlet. The total lots to be served within this sub- divisiob, covenants, and road maintenance agreements will be (9) late. Thanking you kindly, for your past cooperation, efforts and consideration, I remain. Sincerely, Herman C. Davis, Sr. 501 Davis Road ui,lsboroup 2 h, I,.

Davis Subject: Private Road Justification For White Oak Land Subdivision Gentlemen: A private road is justified in the White Oak subdivision because of the specific nature and location of the subdivision. Specifically: 1) The subdivision is designed to preserve the rual character of the area through: a) The subdivision is in a heavy hard- wooded area. W- The restrictions within the covenant does not allow any cutting of trees located on a lot over (6) inches in diami.ter and all redbud, doewood, beech trees of every size shall be retained, unless declarant shall give prior written permission for removal, reason, etc. c) Setback lines are significatlp greater than required. Whereas, the county requires 40'. Due to the design of road accomodating the subdivision, lot size, lot depth, the home sites on the lots, setback could vary from 100' to 2001. d) The subdivision connects Davis road on the north and Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough road on the east. The private road accomodates (4) home sites on Davis mad and (4) home sites near to Old Chapel Hill- Y.illsborough road. e) Since distance is short in the general use of Davis road and O1d'Hillsborough- Chapel Hill road from point of subduvusuon, there's no advantage for the private road to be used by the general public. f) Private entrance identification will be put in place such as small native rock column corners and subdivision name identification design. g) The only open space within the subdivision is the 2000' X 50' (2) acre class (B) road, heavy based and graveled. h) The location of ribad centers through the subdivision, giving good access and view to the woad. i) The location of the road leads to and through the Righest portion of the ladd, keeping it well away from streams to allow sufficient infilLration of storm water run -off prio1: to any run -off reaching streams. J) The type soil is the best in respect to infilteration, having 12" to 15" of top soil and red georgian soil underneath. 1 k) Natural wildlife will continue as it is now. The subdivision is surrounded by many - acres of woods and farm land. 1) The Orly recreational activities in the area is hiking, fishing near -by local ponds and biking on the main roads. m) The lot consisting of stream, (1) home and farm equipment building, controls a vdde buffer of the stream with only outlet to Davis road, identified on map as lot ff 9• n) The density proposed for this subdivision is verr good, being all wooded, consisting of (7) :* acre and(2) 2* acre lots, allowing much distance between home sites. 2 of 2 11 o) It is not economically feasible to pave this road at this time. It was felt that the 60' easement also would destroy un- necessary trees and take away the ruail character of this size of subdivision. p) AU lots will join in the.. roid and be maintained by a road covenant of w1dch will own the property. q) Under - ground utilities are to be installed. r) There can never be more than the original single dwelling home -sites as listed or served by this mad. Sincerely., Herman C. Davis, Sr. 12 ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 306F REVERE ROAD HILLSBOROIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 STAFF EVALUATION OF PRIVATE ROAD JUSTIFICATION SUBDIVISION: White Oak - Concept Plan DATE: February 3, 1992 The standards contained in the Subdivision Regulations pertaining to public and private roads are listed below. The Planning Staff comment regarding each is provided in italics. IV- B- 3 -d -1. Roads - Public roads are generally required in all subdivisions and will be required where it is found that: 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted by the State for maintenance if: a) They are built in a manner which satisfies the minimum State design and construction criteria for subdivision roads; and (White Oak Drive is approximately 1397 feet in length. The road could satisfy the minimum state design criteria if constructed to State standards.) b) They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State . maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general density standard of at least two occupied residences for each one -tenth of a mile of subdivision road. (According to the Department of Transportation, a road less than one mile in length must provide ingress and egress for at least S occupied permanent residences and have a minimum density of two houses per tenth of a mile. This private road would serve eight (8) residences when the subdivision is fully developed. NCDOT would consider this positively when reviewing any request for State maintenance.) 1 13 2. The subdivision roads extend existing roads which are public; or (the subdivision road does not extend existing public roads.) 3. The subdivision roads are part of a development which is located in an area designated as Urban or Transition on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan; or (The subdivision is not located in a designated Urban or Transition Area.) 4. A proposed road is designated as an arterial or collector street on an approved Thoroughfare Plan for a municipality or in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. (7he proposed road is neither an arterial nor a collector.) 5. The subdivision roads are part of a non - residential development consisting of office, retail, industrial, and similar businesses, each located on a separate lot. This provision shall only apply to that portion of a subdivision being developed for non - residential purposes. (The subdivision road is proposed for residential development.) Provided, however, private roads may be allowed in a subdivision where, in the judgment of the Planning Board and with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners, it is found that the nature and location of the subdivision are such that a private road is justified. (The road is located in the RI zoning district in Chapel Hill Township. The minimum residential lot size is 0.92 acre. The road runs between Old Chapel Hill- Hillsborough Road and Davis Road. The latest traffic count on Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road indicated 1800 trips per day in 1989. There was not a count available on Davis Road.) In determining whether to permit private roads in subdivisions, the following design features will be considered: 1. The location and design of the subdivision is such that it clearly preserves the rural character of the County through: a. The provision of lot sizes and building setback lines greater than required by ordinance provisions; 2 14 (All of the lots are more than two times the minimum lot area. Proposed building setback lines will be larger than required by the ordinance. Front setbacks will vary from 40 to 80 feet. Rear setbacks vary from 20 to 40 feet.) b. The retention and /or provision of landscaping and use of clustering of dwelling units to screen the view of the subdivision from public roads and /or maintain a wooded or forested character, maintain scenic views, or preserve wildlife, botanical, historic, archaeological and /or recreation sites; (The site is mostly wooded. Additional landscaping should not be required to meet the Subdivision Regulations standards. No clustering of units is proposed.) 2. The number, location and /or size of lots to be located in the subdivision are such that, even if constructed to State standards, the streets would not be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or other State requirements; (Upon buildout, the subdivision will meet NCDOT density requirements.) 3. Recreation and /or open space areas, including lands containing significant botanical, wildlife, historic and /or archaeological sites, are to be dedicated and /or preserved through restrictive covenants in amounts greater than required by standards for recreation /open space dedication; and /or (There are no common or recreation areas proposed.) 4. Significantly larger than required stream buffers and lot sizes, and /or other design features are proposed as part of a subdivision to be located in a Protected Watershed as designated on the Orange County Comprehensive Plan to reduce the amount of impervious surface and cause infiltration of storm water runoff to prevent the pollution of water supply reservoirs. ('There is a 30 -foot drainage easement proposed. Lot sizes are also significantly larger than required which will reduce the amount of impervious surface.) 5. Topographic and environmental features, such as streams, steep slopes, or watersheds, that would be adversely affected by the use of roads constructed to State standards because of factors such as significant amounts of earthwork (cut and fill) that would contribute to increased 3 T 15 run -off of stormwater and siltation. (The property is not located in a designated watershed. There is one stream located on the property. A private Class B road would have an impervious surface area of approximately 16,764 square feet and would not require the removal of all trees within the right -of -way. Upgrading the road to State standards would increase the impervious surface area approximately 8,382 square feet and would require the removal of all trees within the right -of -way.) EVALUATION SUMMARY: The subdivision is located in the northeast corner of Chapel Hill Township. Although the subdivision road would be taken over by the State if it were built to their standards, the subdivision road will not be extended since it connects two existing public roads. The subdivision proposes large lots with restrictive covenants which prohibit further subdivision. There are also larger than required setbacks proposed. Based on these factors the staff recommends that Oak Ridge Drive be private and constructed to Class B standards. 4 c 16 ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT r 306' REVERE ROAD HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 v�.

There appear to be several unusual drainage conditions at the project site, impacting lots 1,2.3,5,6 and 9. These conditions should be field verified and lot /building restrictions, culvert sizing and drainage easements coordinated with Environmental Health and Sediment Control. 2. The location of the subdivision road in relation to the intersection of Old NC 86 and Davis Drive may be somewhat Problematic in that it may prove to be a popular shortcut between the two roads. I have no suggestions in this matter, but I believe that this is a potential problem. 3. As the existing property lines appear to go to the center line of both Davis Road.and Old NC 86. I would recommend that some sort of accommodation be worked out with DOT to convey formal right -of -way on both.roads. If I may provide additional input, please advise. i� N .:.

Preliminary Plans 0 (1) White Oak (9 Lots Chapel Hill Township) Presentation by Eddie Kirk. The property is located on the south side of Davis Road (SR 1129) and the west side of Old Chapel Hill- Hillsborough Road (SR 1009) in Chapel Hill Township. The property is zoned Rural Residential (R -1). The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Rural Residential. There are nine (9) lots proposed out of 28.85 acres. All lots, except lot 4, are proposed to be served by individual wells and septic tanks. Lot 4 does not have a suitable area for a septic tank and has been indicated as being of restricted development potential on the Preliminary Plan. A Class B private road, White Oak Drive, is proposed to serve eight (8) of the nine (9) lots. Lot 9 presently has a mobile home located on it with access off Davis Road. The applicant's private road justification and the Planning Staff's evaluation are attachments to these minutes-on pages The factors used to justify the private road are: 1. Larger lots than the minimum required. 2. Setbacks significantly greater than required. 3. Restrictive Covenants to provide tree protection along property lines and prohibit further subdivision. The Orange County Erosion Control Supervisor has indicated erosion control approval were received previously when the road was constructed for a minor subdivision application. Also, after a site inspection by the Erosion Control Officer, drainage easements are being required on several lots. These easements have been added to the preliminary plan and are included in the Resolution of Approval. The Orange County Engineer has indicated that drainage problems may exist and should be field checked. There was also concern expressed about this road being a possible shortcut. However, with this road being gravel, it should deter this MOTION: VOTE: problem. Also, there was a recommendation that the rights -of -way for Davis Road and Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road be dedicated. This requirement has been added on the preliminary plan and in the Resolution of Approval. The Concept Plan was reviewed by the Planning Board on February 17, 1991. At that time, the Planning Board approved the Concept Plan with a Class B private road. The Planning -Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for White Oak Subdivision with a Class B private road based on the findings contained in Section IV- B- -3 -d -1 of the Subdivision Regulations and subject to the conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. A copy of the Resolution is an attachment to these minutes on pages Burklin asked if a drainfield could be purchased from an adjoining lot at some point in time. Kirk responded that an easement could be obtained from an adjoining lot if there was a suitable area for septic field. Mr. Davis, the applicant, indicated that the adjoining property is owned by a church who may be interested in purchasing that lot for a parsonage. If that occurs, then the drain field would be on the church property. Burklin asked about the concern of the County Engineer that the road could possibly become a shortcut. Gray noted that concern was addressed on the Concept Plan and it was felt that would not be the case. Mr. Davis indicated that he had been monitoring the road and it appears that people are unaware of the location of the road. Thus, he felt there would not be any problem with the road being used as a shortcut. Burklin moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Hoecke. Unanimous.

BACKGROUND: During the 1988 bond referendum, and subsequent bond sales, Orange County retained the services of Brown & Wood, with principal Gundars Aperans, as the County's bond counsel. In view of the upcoming school bond referendum, the Board needs to select bond counsel to prepare for the referendum. The Board may decide to appoint Brown & Wood again, based on the excellent service received in the past. Alternatively, the Board may want to appoint an informal selection panel to review the qualifications of other firms as well, to include North Carolina bond counsels. Suggested composition of such a panel would include at least one County Commissioner, the County Manager, County Attorney, and the Finance Director. If the Board chooses the second option, it would be desirable for the committee to solicit letters of interest in early June, review qualifications in mid -June, and make a recommendation to the Board for appointment of bond counsel at the June 29 meeting. RECOMMENDATION(S): As the Board decides. POSSIBLE BOND COUNSEL EVALUATION CRITERIA A. General capabilities of the law firm and it's designation of principal counsel and others participating in the County's bond process. B. A listing and explanation of the types of bond issues in which the firms have participated. C. Calculation of fees, expenses and costs associated with providing services and the method of reimbursing out -of- pocket expenses. D. Description of errors and ommissions insurance coverage maintained by the firm. E. Disclosure of any known or foreseeable conflicts of interest which would exist if firms were selected as the county's bond counsel. The above items are a basic outline of the sort of information which should be included in an RFP. These items can be expanded upon to include more detail. The County Attorney should be consulted prior to submission of RFPs for bond counsel. l N BOND COUNSEL HUNTON & WILLIAMS RALEIGH, NC PARKER, POE, ADAMS & BERNSTEIN RALEIGH, NC SMITH, HELMS, MULLISS & MOORE CHARLOTTE NC FERGUSON, STEIN, WATT, WALLAS ADKINS & MOORE CHARLOTTE NC BROWN & WOOD NEW YORK, NY LEBOEUF, LAMB,.LELBY & MACRAE NEW YORK, NY /RALEIGH,NC ROBINSON, BRADSHAW, & HINSON CHARLOTTE, NC POYNER & SPRUILL RALEIGH, NC MCNAIR LAW FIRM COLUMBIA SC /RALEIGH, NC WOMBLE, CARLYLE, SANDRIDGE & RICE WINSTON- SALEM, NC 3 O R A N G E C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: JUNE 1, 1992 Action Agenda ,Item # YM- -Gr SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF OWASA- RELATED ISSUES (APRIL 1 ASSEMBLY OF GOVERNMENTS MEETING) DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER ATTACHMENT(S): DRAFT LIST OF ISSUES AND QUESTIONS PUBLIC HEARING: Yes _X _N0 INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S OFFICE, EXTENSION 2300 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough - 732 -8181 Durham - 688 -7331 Mebane - 227 -2031 Chapel Hill - 967 - 9251/968 -4501 PURPOSE: To determine a list of OWASA- related issues that all jurisdictions may have a mutual interest in pursuing. BACKGROUND: On April 1, the Orange County Assembly of Governments asked: 1. That the Managers prepare a list of questions and issues and take the list to each governing board to determine if the list is correct and complete. 2. That the Managers then determine which issues all jurisdictions may have a mutual interest in pursuing. 3.

Chair Moses Carey, Jr., and Commissioners Alice M. Gordon, Verla C. Insko and Don Willhoit. Stephen H. Halkiotis Mayor Eleanor G. Kinnaird and Aldermen Jay Bryan, Hilliard Caldwell, Jacquelyn M. Gist, Tom Gurganus and Frances Shdtley. C Mayor Kenneth S. Broun and Council Members Julie M. Andresen, Joyce Brown, Mark Chilton, Joe Herzenberg, Alan E. Rimer, Arthur S. Werner and Roosevelt Wilkerson, Jr. Allen A. Lloyd, Evelyn Lloyd, Carol Lorenz and Robert M. Rose. Chair Moses Carey,, Jr. made introductory remarks. Mayors Broun and Kinnaird welcomed everyone to the meeting. Tara Fikes, Director of Housing and Community Development for Orange County indicated that the provision of affordable housing is very important to everyone in the County. The different groups which provide affordable housing have been discussing the need to work together to further this effort. A strategy has been developed by orange County represented by Tara Pikes, Chapel Hill represented by Judy Russell, Carrboro represented by James Harris, Hillsborough Planning Department and Donna Dyer representing the orange Community Housing Corporation. Donna Dyer made presentation on the report entitled "Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy for Orange County, North Carolina ". She made reference to the document and stated that the high cost of homeownership has left many families out of the housing market or sent them to surrounding counties to buy homes and commute into Orange County. For families needing three or more bedrooms, very little stock exists. Development of this countywide CHAS was undertaken by a working group with a representative from each, participating jurisdiction plus staff from Orange Community Housing Corporation, the County's non - profit housing development corporation. This document identified specific needs and prioritized, them based on severity of need and availability of resources to address the need. Section I, Community Profile, is a description of the housing need and market in Orange County. Secti�n II is a five -year approach to addressing DI%WVll these needs, and Section III is a one -year strategy, describing actions to be taken during the Federal fiscal year, October 1, 1991 through September 30, 1992. She listed some of the opportunities for developing projects which will provide affordable housing. There are many programs in Orange County which provide affordable housing and it is proposed that all these groups Work together in • total effort except for Habitat for Humanity. Ms. Dyer presented • transparency showing the existing programs and the new federal Program being offered. She listed the goals and objectives of the CHAS. She pointed out that no- local jurisdiction qualifies as a federal entitlement. There would need to be a consortium formed with another county. This would require an interlocal agreement. She feels the matching funds would be 25%. Based on population this would mean allocations of $100,000 from Orange County and Chapel gill, $30,000 from Carrboro and $20,000 from Hillsborough. Other than money can be used as a match. No matching funds will be required the first year. A public bearing is scheduled for April 22 to inform the people of the agreement and what is proposed for providing affordable housing in Orange County. The local Jurisdictions must enter into an agreement by June 30, 1992. In answer to a question from Mayor Kinnaird, Ms. Dyer indicated that having staff or board members interested in affordable housing would. be sufficient to enter into the agreement. Also, the orange Community Housing Board will be restructured to limit the number of representatives from each jurisdiction. Hillsborough Commissioner Carol Lorenz expressed a concern that no one is getting to the root cause of how much added costs are imposed on housing by local governments because of regulations. She fools that local government has the power to reduce the cost of housing. Alderman Hilliard Caldwell feels that the cost for basic utilities is prohibitive. He would like for OWASA to join in this effort to provide affordable housing. Ms. Dyer noted that the program is flexible. If a private developer comes up with a proposal to provide this housing, it can be considered and approved. It was pointed out that the University is a major factor in the high cost of housing and that there should be some coordination with the University. They have a large amount of acreage which could be used for this purpose. It was the consensus of the elected officials that this collaboration is a great step forward and that the time schedule should keep everyone moving toward a decision. MRALOMM SALE 7 DaW�4 H H •i . .i8111 � Lois Herring, Chair of the OWASA Board indicated they were pleased to receive Chatham's request for water. OWASA has an unused water capacity that could accommodate Chatham's needs and also, if necessary, meet Hillsborough's emergency needs. OWASA could use the extra income from this sale of water to Chatham County. She noted that Chatham has been a good neighbor which they would like to repay. Henry Dunlap, Chair of Chatham County Board of Commissioners, introduced County Manager -Ben Shivar. He gave a brief history of how their water system is laid out and what they are doing to secure future water supplies. They have three (3) systems which are not interconnected. The State has put them under a moratorium which means that plans for new development are being scrutinized. According to the state standards, Chatham County has already approved development that will use the available water supply. luny of these subdivisions will not be built out for several years. In terms of new sources of water, the Pittsboro water plant is being expanded and will be finished in July and will provide 365,000 gpd additional water. They have also developed new wells to augment their supply of water. They also purchase water from Sanford and Siler City when necessary. In order to supply the north Chatham area, they need to secure an additional source of water and that was their reason for contacting OWASA. In the long run they plan to construct a plant on Lake Jordan. A proposal will go to the Board as early as late summer. Mark Ashley,' Chatham County. Engineer, distributed a handout which indicated that they servo 1,417 customers with an average daily demand of 288,403 gallons. There are 1,032 vacant lots with state approval for water supply. By using a 400 gpd standard per vacant lot; this total& 412,800 gpd. The potential supply agreement with OWASA is detailed in the handout with a minimum daily gpd of 25,000 in 1993 to a maximum daily gpd in 2002 of 600,000 qpd. He,not*d that the area is continuing to grow and there are a significant number of vacant lots. Chatham County is in the process of building a 1.1 million gallon storage tank on Edwards Mountain. This tank will be in operation this fall and will be used in an emergency. The interconnection with OWASA will provide a way to shut down one system for maintenance. With a ten year agreement, Chatham, will have the time necessary to build a plant on Lake Jordan. in answer to a question from Council Member Julie Andresen, Mr. Ashley stated that it is their intention to have the funds to construct this plant on Lake Jordan by that time. He noted that the water system in the Governor's Club development is owned and maintained by Chatham County. They are currently providing water to 40 residences in this area. The total cost to expand the plant at Pittsboro is $1.2 million. The Governors Club 8 DGiGlff4 is paying $800,000 of this cost in return for 1,000 connections. Chair Carey noted that although this discussion can continue, the group would probably not be able to come to any consensus. The process needs to be developed for reaching a consensus on the direction to pursue. Mayor Kenneth Broun asked about time constraints and Mr. Shivar stated that the sooner a decision can be reached the better. In answer to a question from Council Member Joe Herzerberg, Mr. Shivar stated that the population projection for northern Chatham County which had a population 8,750 in 1991 is 12,500 by the year 2,000. They have 1300 water customers. Mr. Shivar clarified that even when the expansion at the Pittsboro plant is completed, the state will not lift these constraints because they count all vacant lots as if they are already built. nOCRBS FOR 2MflJCOMM PARTICIPATION IN DECISION In answer to a question from Carrborc Aldermen Jacqueline Gist about the necessity of all elected boards approving the sale of water to Chatham, Lois Herring stated that there are other issues such as planning and zoning that will need to be addressed. Chair Carey noted that all the elected boards should have an opportunity to list and address any identifiable land use issues or concerns. He suggested that this could be accomplished through a work group made up of elected officials from each board. Commissioner Insko stated that a subcommittee would need to know the concerns of each elected board. Information on potential problems or concerns need to be identified by each elected body and she emphasized the-importance of working with OWASA on this issue. It was decided that each elected board would place this item on their agenda for the purpose of determining if there are identifiable problems. The Chairs and Mayors will then determine if there are problems which affect all jurisdictions and if a subcommittee is the best way to continue. The subcommittee will then meet and their findings, along with a consensus - reaching process, will be resubmitted to the elected boards for their consideration. The group decided that the memo dated March 26 could be the point of reference to begin the discussion. 9 DfdG1ff q '1 •� 4.1 ' f t �� �1 r r r rA (1) whether or not an elected official•from each juris- diction should be on the OWASA Board, (2) role clarification - what the OWASA role is, what the towns role is and how they relate to each other, (3) identify what is expected or provide guidelines for the respective representatives on the OWASA Board, (4) identify ways for better communication between the elected boards and the OWASA Board, (5) identify what is or should be OWASA's long range role in providing water to Orange County -- assisting Hillaborough and the remainder of the County, (6) identify a process to address the concerns of citizens on the relationship between the elected officials and OWASA, (7) determine if an OWASA Board in necessary -- look at the original charter, (8) determine the obligation of the elected officials to the people who elected them, (9) pursue the question of the 16" line that Hills- borough wants to purchase from'OWASA, (10) discuss the issues of serving existing communities which are on wells and septic tanks in town at a reasonable cost including the rural buffer both to the north and south, (11) identify the duties of the OWASA Director including the financial responsibility, (12) determine if OWASA is permitted to give "tapons" for low cost housing and if not, why not. ii TnQffq It was agreed that a process for addressing these questions and issues needs to be developed. These are complex issues and many are policy issues. It was decided that (1) the managers will take the list of questions /issues and discuss them with each governmental board to determine if the list is correct and complete, (2) the managers will then determine which issues all jurisdictions may have a mutual interest in pursuing, (3) this list will than be submitted to the elected boards for refinement along with a timeframe, and (4) this refined list will be a topic for the next Assembly of Governments mooting. It was pointed out that time is of the essence. NOTE: Julie Andresen asked that� service map be provided to the staffs of Chapel Hill a�ad' Carrboro. 12 Mayor Kenneth S. Broun April 21, 1992 OWASA CONCERNS REGARDING WATER AND SEWER SERVICES I. Need for additional or cooperative funding for purchase of land or development rights in watersheds. 2. Use of water and sewer sales tax moneys for assistance with sewer assessments and tap -on fees 3. Since Chatham County has developed a time schedule for using Jordan Lake water, what plans are there for cooperative development of the Jordan Lake water supply? How do Orange /Alamance, Hillsborough, and Orange County plan to use their allotments? Do they plan to join with OWASA and /or Chatham County? 4. How are southern Orange citizens going to be compensated for money spent in building the present Efland sewer line (and for money which may be spent in the future)? A matching loan fund grant to OWASA or the Towns would be very helpful in meeting needs of citizens who do not have the resources to pay sewer assessments and tap -on fees. S. Status report on the $1 million bond issue approved for a reservoir. 6. Information about the purpose and justification for the $78,000 recently approved by Orange County for sewer extension. 7. Explore how appointees to the OWASA Board can be used more effectively .--as channels of communication. Informal talks are needed rather than additional work groups or more formal presentations where interaction is difficult. A format which allows OWASA to be a part of the circle could promote exchange of information and understanding. 0 0 13 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council 0MGlff4 FROM: Julie Andresen, Council Member Mark Chilton, Council Member Joe Herzenberg, Mayor pro tem SUBJECT: Summary of proposed Water and Sewer Policy Guidance to OWASA DATE: May 14, 1992 I. Memorandum of Understanding: We recommend the Council reaffirm the value and need for the 1989 Memorandum of Understanding regarding sharing of information and proposed plans and policy actions; and express appreciation to OWASA for seeking comments from local governments regarding the Town of Hillsborough's and Chatham County's requests during the last year. II. OWASA Service Area: We recommend that OWASA's service area be defined as the Chapel Hill - Carrboro urban services area bounded by the Rural Buffer, University Lake watershed, Chatham County line and Durham annexation /water and sewer service boundary. III. Water Sales: We recommend that any non - emergency water sales to other utility systems should protect the long -term availability of OWASA's current water supplies through plans by the utility buying water to obtain its own permanent water sources. IV. Watershed Protection: We recommend that the Council support and encourage continuation of OWASA's purchase of land and conservation easements to protect University Lake and the Cane Creek reservoir, and plans for a study of the Cane Creek watershed to be commissioned in 1992 -93. OWASA, the County and the Towns should continue to work together to protect these watersheds. V. Conservation: We recommend that the Council commend OWASA for its water conservation program, and encourage further initiatives; for the quality of our drinking water and emphasizing the importance of maintaining this high quality; and for OWASA's increased emphasis on reducing stormwater inflow and infiltration as a key to preserving capacity of the wastewater system. VI. Financing the OWASA system: We recommend the Council enter into discussions with OWASA to seek cooperative means of assisting low income families with water and sewer costs including assessments, availability fees and other charges. VII. Other matters: We recommend consideration of whether OWASA should maintain sewer laterals within public right -of -way, and of OWASA's present charges for supplemental fire protection service. 14 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council Dppff4 FROM: Julie Andresen, Council Member Mark Chilton, Council Member Joe Herzenberg, Mayor pro tem SUBJECT: Water and sewer policy issues related to the Orange Water and Sewer Authority DATE: May 14, 1992 In previous discussions. with the Council, we have indicated we would prepare recommendations for the Council's consideration regarding water and sewer policy matters. This memorandum presents our recommendations regarding several policy areas: Memorandum of Understanding among OWASA and local governments Service area and system development Water sales and other agreements with other utilities Watershed and water quality protection Conservation Financing the OWASA system Other matters The attached discussion is intended to focus on areas that we think are the most important. We recognize that the Council may want to add to or delete items from this outline, and we welcome further discussion of these matters. I. Memorandum of Understanding Background In July, 1989, OWASA and the three local government boards which appoint the OWASA Board Members entered into a Memorandum of Understanding. This agreement sets forth the four entities' commitments to share information and provide opportunity for comment on proposed plans, policies and significant actions such as proposed sale of water to other utilities. The Memorandum concludes with a pledge by each of the parties to make good faith efforts to reach agreements satisfactory to all of the parties on matters of mutual interest. A copy of the Memorandum of Understanding is attached. Comments and Recommendation: The Council should reaffirm the value and need for the Memorandum WMIffv -, of understanding as a commitment to communication, and as a mechanism for farther agreement through refinements and /or supplemental documents as the local governments reach agreement on additional matters. The Council's proposal for annual, intergovernmental review of OWASA's draft capital improvement programs is an a :ample of a procedure which could be incorporated into the communication process for OWASA and the local governments. II. Service area and OWASA system deyel02ment Background OWASA now serves about 60,000 customers in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and surrounding areas including the Durham County part of Chapel Hill and about a dozen customers in northern Chatham County near Star Point. OWASA's present customers in the University Lake watershed include the Heritage Hills neighborhood west of Smith Level Road and the Rangewood neighborhood south of NC 54 and west of Hatch Road. These two neighborhoods were developed many years ago, before OWASA adopted restrictions on extending service into the watershed. In 1987, OWASA adopted a policy restricting extension of its service into this watershed except due to imminent hazards. In 1990, the OWASA Board amended this policy on the advice of general counsel to allow service to lots assessed for sewer service in the Rangewood neighborhood.. OWASA has also entered into a service area agreement with the City of Durham which parallels the 1986 annexation boundary agreement between Durham and the Town of Chapel Hill. OWASA has no other service area boundary agreements, but the Board has adopted a policy of being guided by the land management plans of the localities which OWASA serves. Comments and recommendations: The 1987 Joint Planning Agreement among Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County defines Urban Transition and Rural Buffer areas as part of a Joint Planning Land Use Plan (attachment). The Rural Buffer includes most of the New Hope Creek drainage basin north of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, and most of the University Lake watershed. The Towns have agreed not to annex Rural Buffer areas defined in this agreement. Based on these concepts, the Chapel Hill land use plan includes an "urban services" district including the area in the Town limits, 16 M M 8 ff V F_ swat of the Town's extraterritorial planning area, and the urban transition areas. We believe OWASA's service area should be defined as a Chapel Hill - Carrboro urban services area bounded by the University Lake watershed on the west, the Now Hope Creek part of the Rural Buffer area to the north, Durham - Chapel Hill annexation boundary on the east and the Chatham County and Rural buffer boundaries to the south. Defining such a service area would help OWASA make long -range plans for system capacity based on a discrete area rather than based on undefined, unknown and continually growing service area. The proposed service area would also reflect the fact that residents of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and a few surrounding areas are paying for the cost of acquiring the OWASA system in 1977 and for making major system improvements including purchase and development of the Cane Creek reservoir and expansions of treatment plants. The long -term capacity of the present OWASA water and wastewater system should be kept in place to serve the Chapel Hill - Carrboro area citizens who have and will pay for these assets. In addition, defining the Chapel Hill - Carrboro service area would help provide focus on meeting community needs which already exist, including reduction of inflow and infiltration into the wastewater system, addressing neighborhoods where private septic and well systems will eventually need to be replaced in the urban service area, and other basic system needs. OWASA's capital improvement program documents in past years have shown an emphasis on accommodating demand associated with new development. While this objective is appropriate and consistent with the 1977 Purchase and Sale Agreements, there should be an equal emphasis on meeting the needs of neighborhoods which are already developed but lack public water and sewer service in areas designated for urban'services. We note that defining a Chapel Hill- Carrboro service area would be consistent with the provisions in the 1977 sales agreements that OWASA will meet the reasonable needs of the Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill for wastewater services. Defining a service area for OWASA based on the principles in the Joint Planning Agreement is the single most important policy matter which should be addressed by the local governments. Such a decision or not of decisions would have important and positive effects regarding the focus and priorities for the Authority. We note that a service area as described above need not preclude contractual arrangements with other jurisdictions under appropriate conditions, which are discussed below. @M) no&ff� III. Water sale and other agreements „with other_ jurisdictions. Background As noted above, OWASA customers have experienced significant increases in rates since creation of the Authority. In effect, the community which provided revenues for development of the water utility under University ownership is paying again for the water system purchased from the University in 1977 as well as for the Cane Creek reservoir and other system improvements such as expanding the water and wastewater treatment plants. The process of acquiring properties and applying for permits for the Cane Creek reservoir as the major long -term water supply was a long and expensive struggle during which citizens endured periodic water shortages. As Council Members have stated in the past, the Cane Creek reservoir and water supply is a precious asset which should be preserved for the long -term use of the communities which have and are paying for it. If the present concepts of the Joint Planning Land Use Plan remain in use, the Cane Creek reservoir along with the University Lake watershed and stone quarry storage supplies should be adequate to serve the Chapel Hill - Carrboro urban services area at full development based on current land use plans. The capacity of Cane Creek and other supply sources also implies that our community may not be forced to use water from the B. Everette Jordan Reservoir when the present supply sources are fully used. Using water from the Jordan Reservoir would raise concerns based on the number of untreated or inadequately wastewater discharges to the Haw River and other tributaries of the reservoir. In the future, annexation and utility service area boundary agreement(s) involving OWASA, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and the Town of Hillsborough would be useful and appropriate to complement the Present Joint Planning Agreement and Rural Buffer concept. Hillsborough is not a party to the Joint Planning Agreement for the southeast part of the County, although Hillsborough has separate Cooperative Planning arrangements with Orange County. A service area agreement among the local governments and utility systems in Orange County might help resolve a longstanding difference between Hillsborough and OWASA regarding future service from the part of OWASA's water transmission line which extends north of the Rural Buffer to Hillsborough. 17 t 18 M Gipffp Comments and Recommendations: a. Emergency water sales We support emergency water supply agreements of the type developed through the Triangle J Council of Governments in 1987. These agreements can benefit all parties, and we note that OWASA customers have benefitted substantially in the past from the City of Durham's and the Town of Hillsborough's willingness to share their water supplies during shortages here. Continuation of reciprocal emergency sales agreements with Durham and Hillsborough therefore may be regarded as a moral obligation for OWASA. b. Hon- emergency water sales Because of the substantial expense and effort necessary to, acquire adequate water supplies for our community, however, we believe that any future water sale agreements for non - emergency purposes must protect the long -term capacity of the Cane Creek, University Lake and stone quarry supplies to meet the needs of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro urban services area. Because of the legal potential for court decisions precluding the termination of a rater sale agreement, we would recommend that any non - emergency water sales be based on plans for the utility buying OWASA water to obtain permanent water sources through a plan of action and a time frame reflecting capacity of OWASA's present water supplies and projected future demand. c. Chatham County request Chatham County has requested OWASA's assistance through a water sale agreement for the period until the County has its owe water supplies. Actions by the State have required Chatham County to seek a supplemental interim water supply, in part because the additional water to be available through an agreement with the Town of Pittsboro will be for a limited amount. We recommend the Council discuss the principles summarized above with Chatham County representatives as a potential basis for reaching agreement. When Chatham County provides a more specific proposal, we believe it should address the concerns that a non- emergency sale agreement might be continued by a court decision after expiration of the agreement, and that a plan for permanent water supply from other sources could be a basis for an interim water sale agreement. We recognize that selling water to Chatham County would have advantages in generating revenue such as for acquiring additional land around the Cane Creek and University Lake reservoirs. 19 M W M ff 4 d. Other contracts with utilities As noted above, the formal designation of a Chapel Kill- Carrboro service area would not preclude OWASA from entering into contractual arrangements to assist other utilities in operating treatment plants, for example, with full recovery of OWASA's costs for adding personnel, ate. Such contractual assistance arrangements would not need to involve any change in existing jurisdictions or their policy decisions related to water and sewer matters. However, the caveats about preserving OKASA's overall system capacity should be reflected in any of these agreements. IV. Watershed and Water Quality Protection Background In 1988, OWASA engaged the firm of Camp Dresser and McKee to study the University Lake watershed and the potential effect of alternative development scenarios on the quality of water stored in the lake. This study led to revision of local zoning, subdivision and land use ordinances to limit the effect of future growth and stormwater run -off on water quality. OWASA staff has begun a process of identifying and ranking critical lands around the reservoirs as a basis for purchase of future purchase of fee simple and conservation easement interests in watershed land. In recent budget deliberations, the OWASA Board has indicated it will allocate $205,000 annually (a $100,000 increase) over the next five years for watershed land acquisitions. As noted in the December 5, 1991 joint meeting with OWASA, the Authority recently acquired a conservation easement in Cane Creek watershed at a cost of $500 per acre. OWASA also plans a study of the Cane Creek reservoir and watershed in 1992 -93 to parallel the University Lake study in 1988 -89. Comments and Recommendations: We commend and support OWASA' s actions and planning to acquire land around the reservoirs and their tributaries as a water quality protection measure. The Cane Creek watershed study will be an important step in planning the protection of our community's largest water storage asset (3 billion gallons /10 million gallons per day). t ` 20 M M M ff 7 Continuing cooperation of OWASA, the County and the Towns is needed to protect these watersheds. V. Conservation Backaround OWASA has undertaken extensive efforts to encourage conservation, through public education, sale of low -f low showerheads at cost, etc. The community has responded especially well during water shortages, Conservation is important as one way to help limit long -term development costs of the water system, and as a way to preserve the capacity of our present water supply sources. The Triangle J Council of Governments is beginning a study of water conservation for several water systems in the region, and this study may be useful to OWASA, Chapel Hill and Carrboro regarding water conservation possibilities. The NC Building Code Council last year made significant plumbing code changes to require that fixtures in new construction use less water. Comments and Recommendations: We encourage OWASA to continue its support of conservation, and urge OWASA to undertake further studies leading to new initiatives. A key objective of water conservation should be to maintain the adequacy of present water sources so that OWASA will not be forced to use Jordan Lake water. We recognise that successful, significant water conservation could reduce revenue to OWASA relative to what the income would otherwise be. However, we believe the long -term positive impact in preserving the capacity of our water supply sources is the key objective and is important in limiting long -term costs. We encourage OWASA to consider adopting specific, practical conservation goals. Local governments' goals regarding solid waste management and recycling come to mind as an example of numerical goals which establish a target and define success. We recommend the Council commend OWASA for the high quality of our drinking water and for OWASA's emphasis on maintaining this high quality. Regarding conservation of wastewater system capacity, reducing infiltration and inflow of stormwater into sewers is the most important strategy. The OWASA Board is planning greater emphasis on 21 DG3GI�� this need as part of the 1992 -93 budget in addition to commitments earlier this year to accelerate work on the Bolin Creak and Tanyard Branch server lines. We commend OWASA for these initiatives. VI. Financing the OWASA system Background OWASA receives about $1 million or annually from "availability" charges to help pay for major water and sewer lines and a share of treatment plant capacity. The revenue from this fee is used to help pay for OWASA's capital improvement program. For a typical home and lot size, the availability charge is about $1,700 for water service and $1,100 for sewer service. OWASA has responded to petitions from majorities of lot owners in several neighborhoods for extension of water and sewer on an assessment basis. OWASA has assessed 100% of costs as the Town did in sewer projects before OWASA was created. This policy is pursuant to the 1977 purchase and sales agreements. Some OWASA Board members have expressed a belief that the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro should allocate a portion of their half cent sales taxes for water and sewer purposes such as improvements to the OWASA system or extending sewer in areas with septic systems. They believe such use of the sales tax revenue would be in accord with the intent of the sales tax legislation. The Towns have received exemptions which are authorized in the sales tax legislation to use all of the half cent sales tax revenue for municipal services. As previously discussed, the OWASA Board is unable to waive or reduce fees and charges for low income families because of provisions in OWASA's bond orders. However, the OWASA Board has expressed interest -in discussions with local governments to seek cooperative arrangements for addressing these issues. Comments and Recommendations: A. Half cent sales taxes We do not accept the assertion by some that the Towns' requests for exemptions regarding municipal use of half cent sales taxes are inconsistent with the legislature's intent. The sales tax legislation expressly provides that the MC Local Government Commission may grant exemptions, and the Commission has done so in response to requests by cities including Greensboro, Charlotte and Asheville. l 22 mmL^aff7 1 More importantly, the 1977 purchase and sales agreements between OWASA and the Towns provide that OWASA will in part uprovide and maintain such sewage collection and treatment facilities as may be required under applicable laws and regulations to meet the reasonable needs of the Town" (emphasis added) ' as then and thereafter constituted. These agreements also included OWASA's "pledge and unequivocal assurance that it will use its best efforts in good faith" to extend sewers in annexation areas where required by State law as a condition of annexation. The latter commitments were important considerations for the Town in selling its wastewater lines and one -half interest in the Xason Farm wastewater treatment plant. The only financial consideration by OWASA in acquiring the Town's wastewater system, excluding payment for trucks and other equipment, was OWASA's assumption of debt payments on Town sewer bonds. The amount of these payments as scheduled from 1976 -77 through 1992 -93 is about $2 million. However, if the present value of these payments were calculated based on a 10% annual discount rate, the time - discounted value was only about $1 million. The sale of the Town's sewer system and half interest in the wastewater treatment plant on these very favorable terms further. emphasises the importance of OWASA's commitments to meet the community's wastewater needs. B. Assistance to low income families We recommend that the Town enter into discussions with OWASA and other interested local governments regarding possible means of cooperatively assisting low - income families with water and sewer costs. The Town can continue to assist low income families in Chapel Hill with water and sewer costs through the Town's water and sewer reserve of sales taxes collected in the 1980s, and with Community Development grant funds as in past years. VII. Other matters As noted in previous discussion with the Council, OWASA does not maintain the portion of private sewer laterals which is in public right -of -way. We think there should be public discussion and consideration of whether OWASA customers should share the risk of repairing laterals in right- of-way by paying for this as an OWASA service. Such a policy would be similar to OWASA's maintenance of water connection laterals and meters in public right of way. 23 a In addition, we would encourage review and further consideration of the charges for OM"'s suppleantal firs protection service to buildings with sprinkler systems. We are concerned that these rates nay discourage some building owners from having sprinkler systems. Conclusion As discussed above, we believe designation of the Chapel gill - Carrboro "urban services" area as OWASA's service area is the key to resolving several matters involving the focus, priorities and future development of the OWASA system which was purchased with revenue from local customers in the Chapel Hill - Carrboro area. We support non - emergency water sales agreements, and believe that interim, non - emergency water sales can be advantageous when based on plans for the buying utility to achieve self- sufficiency. We encourage discussion among OWASA and the local governments of creative alternatives for addressing concerns about the impact of water and sewer availability and assessment costs on low income families.

Most importantly, I would like the board of commissioners to vote for approval /disapproval on the issue of the commission's becoming available to the public through Kathy Baker's support. This will allow us to monitor complaints on an ongoing basis, which we must be able to do in order to fulfill our mandate. The commission will not seek, at this time, to intervene in complaints, but will instead serve only to direct individuals to the appropriate oversight agency. We mainly wish to raise awareness in orange county and be able to track complaints and reports of problematic activity. We will also plan to conduct educational workshops in general subject areas, and fulfill our commitment to report hate crime activity that is reported to us. Moses, we have already attempted to have the public contact us by mail. It was less than a great success and, more importantly, is exclusionary for those individuals who can't write or read well. We need this reporting mechanism very much, and would appreciate your support. It would be most helpful if I could have a response by June 1, 1992, so that the board can -move forward on this. As ever, please feel free to call me and discuss. cc: HRC Board Membership 3 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Kathy Baker FROM: Jean Bolduc, it - Orange County Human Relations Commission DATE: May 11, 1992 SUBJECT: Telephone Support for HRC I am writing to confirm our earlier discussion regarding the HRC's outreach project, to be initiated later on this year. I am requesting that you provide- telephone support for the Human Relations Commission on an indefinite basis for the purpose of passing messages from citizens to appropriate board members for response. That is, we will publicize through brochures and Public Service Announcements, that to contact the Orange County Human Relations Commission, citizens should call: 968 -4501 ext. 2125. At that point, you can determine the nature of the inquiry (employment, housing,'etc.) and contact the appropriate board member for response. I anticipate the HRC will offering these services: 1) Information on discrimination and referral to agencies of oversight. Information will be mostly in the form of brochures developed from state HRC materials. 2) A speaker's bureau, providing board members to be available to speak to schools, clubs, churches and community groups on topics relating to the commission's work. 3) Accept hate crime reports for referral to state HRC. The Orange County HRC signed a memorandum of understanding to do this some time ago. 4) The commission will keep track of these inquiries and report the activity to the board of commissioners. This will be 'our major resource for monitoring the "state of human relations" in the county; a substantial feature of the board's mandate. Kathy, I would very much prefer that this be done by publicizing your phone number. Having a live human being who can exercise judgement and discretion will make an important difference in how the public views this effort. If, however, the burden on your time will be too great, I feel confident that we can make a voice mail system workable and achieve much the same end. I have used such a system in administrating the AIDS Service Agency, and it has work out well. The annual cost is $240.00. Please let me know by the June meeting what the county's decision is. cc: Board membership ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item NO.

There is no reason for lengthy deliberation about an issue that was resolved three years ago. If you do not act now, this unnecessary exercise will drag on to no good purpose.

As for other users, such as the Chapel Hill Flying Club, who are welcome to use already existing nearby airports, it is inconceivable that the Board would choose to ask the taxpayers of this county to subsidize the recreational and business interests of at most a few hundred people.

Included in this package are: 1) Specific highlights of business growth 2) A summary of expansions, relocations and new businesses in the past 2 years 3) A summary of EDC activities and accomplishments 4) Some ideas for new ways to keep the commissioners and the public informed of local successes 5) Several attachments including - EDC publications, SBTDC report, approved new development in Chapel Hill, newspaper clippings of successes the past 2 years Summary of Key Points * In the past two years 202 businesses have moved to, started, or expanded in Orange County. They have produced close to 1,500 new jobs, invested $57.6 million, and absorbed 1.4 million square feet of space. (These are the ones we know about, no doubt there are a few more.) * 7 of the top 10 private businesses in Orange County have expanded or announced expansions in the past 2 years * Several new significant businesses have been recruited to Orange County * 4 of the top 5 manufacturers have added facilities and employees in the past 2 years ORANGE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION POST OFFICE BOX 1177 • HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 (919) 732 -8181 (919) 968 -4501 (919) 688 -7331 _ (919) 227 -2031 FAX (919) 644 -3004 1 * Vacancy rates in Orange County have improved significantly despite the national recession * The county's three largest multi- business buildings, the Europa Center, Carr Mill Mall and the Hillsborough Business Center have all filled up in the past 2 years absorbing over ' 300,000 sq. ft. * Although the EDC operating budget has remained the same for 3 ' years the county's commitment to Economic Development has Visitor's Bureau increased through contributions to SBTDC, the and the Sewer Bottleneck. SBTDC and the Bottleneck are already ' producing results. * Several major efforts are currently underway which will ' prepare the county for planned growth in the future. I hope this information meets your needs. I recognize that some citizens are unbelievers in the county's recent a ' success in Economic Development or do not believe good do not support their business climate exists. The numbers in the criticism. Our unemployment rate remains the lowest state. Our average wage is fifth among the 100 counties, and ' wage growth has been in the top ten counties over the past decade. Home sales, starts and value are near the top among the counties. Rental rates for commercial property are ' comparable to all other urban areas and our downtown vacancy the EDC rates are very low. Although we do no advertising and currently continues to get about 20 new clients each month ' have 150 active clients. The EDC would welcome in ideas on ways to get this message ' to the citizens. I have proposed some ideas. 1 i 1 Specific Highlights of Business Growth * 90 -91 Activit - The totals for last year were 77 new /expanded businesses that invested $47 million, created 580 new jobs and absorbed over 700,000 square feet.

We will be completing Carrboro later this summer and Hillsborough late in the year. By identifying all current and potential property we can work with planning to determine long range build -out models. Recruitment Campaign - Last fall the EDC launched an innovative network recruitment campaign to identify businesses that might be interested in relocating. Because the EDC spends no money on advertising or recruitment travel, this approach allowed us to compete for new business. To date, about 30 positive leads have been generated. Economic Development Commission Activities and AccomiDlishments Small Businesses and Technology Development Center - Because of the county's commitment to SBTDC their operation has expanded from one half time person to 3 people full time. Over the past ' 5 quarters they have worked with 165 Orange County businesses providing free financing, business planning, and legal assistance. A SBTDC report and a series of successes appears ' in the attachments. Chapel Hill/Orange Count Visitor's Bureau - The new director begins work on June 1st. The bureau will work to extract a industry. greater economic impact out of our existing visitor The EDC has acted to bring the bureau to this point. ' Hillsborou h Sewer Bottleneck - After 4 years of stalled negotiations the EDC, and a commitment for county funding, forced a settlement of the sewer problem. The resolution involved 4 monetary partners and 5 easements; construction is underway and is scheduled for completion next month. Projects Current Joint. Planning - The EDC and planning board continue to work on new recommendations for growth promotion and control for the interstate corridor in central Orange County. Retail Analysis - With the free help of a UNC -CH Public Policy intern and professor we are currently completing a project that will identify the types and sizes of businesses in Downtown Chapel Hill. Working with the merchants, we will then use the ' information to target new businesses to complement the retail mix. 1 Tax -Base Study - This fall we completed an analysis of all the non - residential tax -base of the Town of Chapel Hill by examining all 700 non - residential parcels.

Because the EDC spends no money on advertising or recruitment travel, this approach allowed us to compete for new business. To date, about 30 positive leads have been generated. F 1 1 1 -- Dow town Plan Work - The EDC is working with a mayor appointed ' group in Chapel Hill to create new development guidelines for the downtown core. When complete these guidelines should help funnel redevelopment into downtown. 'Stratecric Plan Update - This summer we will begin a process to update the Strategic Plan adopted in 1989. The plan laid out 64 action items, of which 63 have been accomplished or ' implemented. Publications - Twelve new publications have been created over the past 2 years and are available to help local businesses and citizens or new businesses. They range from a comprehensive Statistical Abstract to a regulatory guide to a variety of business lists. A complete list is in the attachments. ' Public Information - The EDC staff has spoken to year totaling close to 1,000 citizens. We write a4bi- weeklyhis ' column for the Chapel Hill Newspaper, a monthly column for the Chamber Newsletter, issue press releases, conduct press conferences, place articles in regional media and appear on radio and cable. Close to 100 articles placed by or written ' about Economic Development in Orange County have appeared in the last 100 weeks. Communit Involvement - To try to be visible, and represent the comprehensive nature of Economic Development the staff is active in many organizations including; JOBS Advisory Board (chairman), Triangle J Recycling Task Force (co- chair), Durham Tech Small Business Advisory Board, Employment Security Board, Triangle Transit Authority, Hillsborough Historic Summit, Public Private Partnership, Chambers, Regional Marketing Group (chairman) and Orange County Education Foundation. n New Ideas For Better Communication ' 1. EDC Quarterly Reports - A formal reporting mechanism, that would focus on specific areas, might help answer questions that people have. We already do a newsletter that is sent to about ' 1000 local leaders and businesses, but the content may not be specific enough. I began doing an oral report to the Chapel Hill Town Council last winter and it seems to be working. ' 2. An Annual State of the Economy Breakfast - I would propose sponsoring an annual event, probably early September, where the Commissioners' would share the local conditions with the community. This year we would present trend data from the census, business growth, unemployment data and any new major ' initiatives. The raw numbers show a very healthy local economy, but I would also include comparative data with other communities, including tax base information. 3. Elected Official Tours - The EDC is currently planning a series of small tours for elected officials later this summer. The officials and the press will have an opportunity to see many of the Orange County businesses and speak with their managers. 4. Welcome Letters - I would propose that for all new or expanded businesses the five commissioners would sign a letter welcoming them to Orange County. This would help to keep the commissioners up -to -date an the new businesses and would be good public relations with the business. 5. Invitation to EDC Mgetin s - On behalf of the EDC Board I would extend an invitation to each commissioner to come to a meeting and share their ideas or concerns with us. 11 I-.- - -1 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ' Site Location Package. - General information folder about Orange County Demographics, Quality of Lire, Education, Labor Pool, Taxes, Transportation, Utilities and UNC .

FROM: Dan Parks, UNC -SBTDC SUBJECT: Client Impact Evaluation DATE: May 28, 1992 PREFACE For some time, we have had ongoing discussions concerning the positive impact that the UNC -SBTDC strives for on behalf of our cli- ents. This is of special interest to us in Orange County due to our relationship with your office and the establishment of our new Central Carolina Regional Center in Chapel Hill. On Wednesday, May 26, you requested an impact evaluation which would address the numbers and types of businesses with whom we are consulting. Importantly also, you requested some anecdotal information on certain clients which would be representative of positive impact. As a start, I have included data for all of 1991 and the first ' quarter of 1992 in the manner we discussed yesterday. Once you have digested this information, we can discuss further how to make this reporting increasingly meaningful to you. #Clients Contact Hours CLIENT STATISTICS 1991 123 530 (4.3 hrs. per) 1st QTR 1992 43 232 (1.9 hrs. per) Prep. Hours 213 (1.7 hrs. per) *490 (3.9 hrs. per) [ *increase in preparation hours due to marketing research and student intern projects.] 's by Type Retail 29 (23.58 %) 8 (18.60 %) Service 58 (47.15 %) 21 (48.84 %) Wholesale 8 ( 6.50 %) 1 ( 2.33 %) Manufacturing 14 (11.38 %) 5 (11.630) Construction 2 ( 1.63 %) 2 ( 4.65 %) Not in Business 12 ( 9.76 %) 6 (13.95 %) ' REPRESENTATIVE CLIENT IMPACT The following anecdotal examples should help in the understanding of the ways the SBTDC works with clients. Where named, the client business has given permission. otherwise, we maintain their confi- dentiality. ' 1. DTS Language Services (Chapel Hill) Helped management team successfully negotiate a buyout from owners of business. Support included valuation data and construction of financial projections. Secured 12 professional jobs. 2. Triem Manufacturing (Carrboro) Through work with one of our student intern teams, this company restructured their production and marketing operations to achieve greater margins. This particular student team won the statewide competition sponsored by ourselves and Peat Marwick. 3. VoxNet (Hillsborough) Owner, Gilbert Baumann, was interviewed by the Chapel Hill Herald for an article on the SBTDC. In addition to business plan assis- tance, we helped this business construct an agreement with a na- tional sales company in Ohio and a franchise network in Europe. 4. InfoAmerica (Chapel Hill) After assisting with the internal structuring of the business, we facilitated this marketing research company getting several con- tracts, including one with a technology company in RTP. 5. West Franklin Preservation Partners (Chapel Hill) For the Pavilion On Franklin project, the SBTDC is providing sup- port to complete a feasibility study. We have committed 240 hours to this research. 6. Center Cafe (Chapel Hill) We provided in depth, long term consulting which resulted in this client getting a direct SBA loan in the amount of $61,000 to estab- lish their business in the Europa Center. This was one of only 12 SBA direct loans in 1991. 7. Aqueduct Conference Center (Chapel Hill) Through an indepth study of operations and marketing, the SBTDC helped this client establish a marketing plan including a prospect- ing system to bring in new conference groups. 1 1-1 ' S-. (Unnamed) Beauty Supply Business (Carrboro) After this client failed in obtaining outside financing for the purchase of inventory and upfitting, the SBTDC helped this client secure internal financing from their suppliers which enabled them to triple their inventory and open their shop. ' 9. (Unnamed) Retail Business (Hillsborough) ' Although client has annual sales of approximately 100k, they are at a point where they may not survive. The SBTDC has constructed detailed P &L statements and projections to help client make the decision to continue or to pursue liquidation or bankruptcy. 10. (Unnamed) Manufacturing Company (Hillsborough) This 20 year old, $1M company is utilizing the SBTDC to assist with restructuring of all aspects of operation: Management, Marketing, Production, Facilities. Primary work now is with financials to help in decision - making to fund the various aspects. 11. (Unnamed) Architectural and Consulting Company (Chapel Hill) Company specializes in education and consulting for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Presently, the SBTDC is helping this client obtain a publishing contract for a book on this subject with McGraw Hill. 12. (Unnamed) Wine Distributing Company (Chapel Hill) This company was experiencing cash flow difficulties due to payment methods with suppliers. The SBTDC helped to set up a different method thorugh a letter of credit which improved terms. SPECIFIC POINTS In 1991, the SBTDC facilitated client businesses in obtaining financing of approximately $200,000. This is a part of our con- sulting that we want to increase, however, lending activity was depressed throughout last year. The clients that we worked with to prepare loan packages totalled over $1,000,000, but only $200,000 was attained from external and internal sources. The actual impact that the SBTDC can have on economic development and area businesses will be continually stronger with referrals from the business leaders, area lenders, and other small business providers in the community. To supplement our own outreach, we invite the community leaders to visit our Center and explore f irst- hand how we work and the optimum ways we can provide our services. c414 W�l I APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS 1.

For the first time, the non - profit agency now will be able to care directly for patients at its own Facility as well as in their homes. Beginning in June, the organiza- tion will launch a $l million capital campaign that will take three years to complete. Of the money raised, $1.5 million would finance the purchase of the Mead- owlands, a brick home built in 1890 in rural Orange County near Durham County. It also would finance construction of a wing to house patients, and renovation of a -barn to serve as offices. The remaining $300,000 would be used fur an endowment to finance the. cost of bereavement counseling aW care for poor people. The Major Campaign Review Board, a voluntary organization that helps plan and schedule capital campaigns of $500,000 or more, has given the go -ahead to the Triangle Hospice campaign. Capital Consortium Inc., a fund- raising consultant in Raleigh, is advising Triangle Hospice. ,Triangle Hospice, located in Darhaln near South Square Mall. ci'i'tploys a professional staff of •_'3 piWple and has a volunteer staff o1' niore than 150 people, Its annual htrdget is about $1.4 million- The Meadowlands in Orange County is destined to be home to Triangle Hospice, which is raising $2 million in capital campaign Martha G.

Page 1 of 2 Proposed retail/office complex at Chapel Mill's Franklin and Columbia streets vibrant downtown, one that is still university friendly but attracts other shoppers and businesses. An often - used phrase to describe the desired effect is ` retail diversity." Two new projects — one public and already under construction and one private and working its way through permitting procedures — will go a good way toward achieving what the town has long sought. Last month, construction finally began on a 31- space parking deck at the corner of Rosemary and Hender- son streets. And the town council re- cently gave a tentative nod to plans to build a 30,000- square -foot retail and office complex at the corner of Columbia and Franklin streets. The site, perhaps the most prime piece of real estate in the downtown, is cur- rently occupied by a gas station and convenience store. - Taken together, the two projects .represent a big step forward in the push for a new downtown. They book- end the core business district and offer solutions for problems that ex- tend well beyond the grazing range of the Carolina faithful. It's always been a little inconve- nient to park in downtown Chapel Hill, and for years the town fussed with plans to expand parking. In the mid- 1980s, plans for a park- Makeover on The Hill By Kirk Rosa In many ways, the core business district of downtown Chapel Hill will never change. College students will always flock to the 100 blocks of Franklin and Rosemary streets for food, drink and final four T- shirts. For a number of years, however, town leaders have been trying to build on this base and create a more ing deck topped with a hotel, a hand- ful of condominiums and offices seemed to be flying toward approval until a local newspaper launched an all -out campaign to shoot it down. Other public- private ventures met with a similar fate. Finally, the town decided to build a deck on its own. But like most elements of this place that has been called the "Southern Part. of Heaven," it's not going to be Your average urban parking facility. Located on the 100 block of Rose- mary Street behind the old post of- fice, the three -story brick and con- crete structure is to be topped off with a town commons complete with a. park, a small open air amphithe- ater, a series of pavilions to accommo- date street vendors and, of course, plenty of trees and other greenery. The design also takes advantage of the sloping landscape so that the commons is level with and empties out onto Franklin Street. "It was de- cided that we wouldn't build a plain vanilla parking deck," . said Chapel Hill's chief planner Roger Waldon. Though the most visible aspect may be the new commons, no one's arguing that the parking spaces below hold the key to the city. Some three years ago, a survey con- ducted by Chapel Hill's Downtown Commission confirmed that parking — or lack of it — is the number one reason consumers take their business elsewhere, usually to the malls clus- tered along the roads to Durham. This was not only bad for downtown, but as businesses closed down, moved 0 o o T " s , h v y a ro a N p j v m 3 o g v b y a ° O N '0 c y CD p ro p ro 1 (U y•�Q bo O etl Q O y y CL � u u yo y 0 a w va� AN��° � A w F' p:- N b �p m •� 74 rip E o ev p v �w � a. � �'' v •o bo p 7a ed bq ° a+ ❑� jy di bA A y p �b .rnN G> y a.�c hwG 3 ..wa u O C p C ro v ro w a h a rd y O C13 ; y ; y v � b .(G a n •o .p u, � .� 0. tea+' o •'°� A q r" y ++ J °' - to ' A Oro ti *•0.r�d °� �•�.au�vv,uO�v n7 V a ctl� ti a d o a 0 y v� row'^ ar a 3 roy� o,ro a, o o u �. v g 9� v o �> a >, O �A, y y ro =oxuoFO� ��"'y,om3� o x° m°uGOC°r Uro ' a tv cry -5 ad sch �wpa� 3 ro •r. 00 0 CIO b • roff a 1 u°., W d C' cd a tm O r U y e° u w a.

The team putting; together the effort to begin Nov. 6 has adopt- ed the name Network Tele- phone Marketing, EDC Director Ted Abernathy explained, "or how to get 100 warm clients for under $10,000." The idea behind the plan is simple, he said. People in Or- ange County come from all over and know people from where they moved. The county attracts retirees, business people and ed- ucators from a wide area. If each of these people called just one person or business they knew and talked to them about the county's attributes, a few of those contacts could turn into development -opportunities. Ab- ernathy said. Such a phone campaign wouid require clear lines of communication and getting in- formation about the county to interested clients and about the clients to the right people, EDC board member and Duke Power regional manager Richard "Stick" Williams said. That is why he is heading a 15- person steering committee to coor- dinate the campaign. Those people each contacted five first -tier team leaders, who in turn called five second -tier team members, he said. Those approximately 375 peo- ple are being asked to call about 500 businesses, or about one per person, Williams said. "We're not asking very much of anybody at this point." The callers then will report back to their team leaders about anybody who is inter- ested in learning more about Orange County, Williams said. Those leaders will, in turn, give those names and phone numbers to EDC members, he said. "We'll have them do the actual follow -up." The goal, Abernathy said, is to have many more- active .cli- ents. EDC currently has about 200 businesses and groups that have expressed interest in Orange County. Abernathy said they would to have an additional 200. The idea for such a plan came from observing pyramid busi- nesses, such as Amway and Nuskin, Williams said. "We've never heard of it with economic development." That kind of personal touch is more direct than advertising for ' businesses in area magazines. Abernathy said. "And, frankly, the cost of advertising is just too high." The campaign has $10,000 available to help defray long - distance toll charges, research costs and possible follow -up travel expenses, though costs aren't expected to , run that high, Williams said. Even if all the funding were used, it would be inexpensive, he said. "It's a very small in- vestment when you look at what the potential is. Rather than just trying to get new development in the county, callers and EDC members will be telling contacts about what is currently ready and available to them. Williams said. "First and foremost we want to fill i what vacant space we can in Orange County." Abernathy agreed. "We're not out to zone new spaces, but to fill up existing spaces in the county," he said. The campaign's success won't be measured simply by the number of new clients. Wil- liams said. "If we can get a fair amount of the population talking about economic development some people actually doing something about economic development — if we can get the business com- munity working together, then' we have accomplished a great deal," Williams said. This campaign also should show results inside the county's borders, Abernathy said. "We hope to educate the local busi- ness community about what is available locally. And it gives us a chance to get the business community working together." Orange County has much going for it, even in these reces- sionary times, said Williams, who came to the county a year ago. - "We just need to do a better job of making opportunities more available, to people of the middle- and lower- income brackets particularly," Williams said. "I'm hoping this will help us tap into that."

Durham sports. company­b,uys ftm-iiture plant Eurosport plans warehouse in Hickory- White. fadhty By BLAKE DICKINSON The Chapel Hill Herald HILLSBOROUGH — A Durham sporting -goods distributor an- nounced Tuesday his company has purchased the Hickory - White Furniture plant and plans to move in sometime in October. "We wanted a small-town en- vironment, an environment we could participate in and not just be located in," said Mike Moy- lan, 25, co-owner of Eurosport. Eurosport will bring 45 em- ployees from its 10,000- square- foot facilities off U.S. 15 -501 near Mt. Moriah Road to the 82,000 - square -foot plant on U.S. 70 just outside downtown Hills- borough, Moylan said. The Eurosport announcement comes seven months after the president of Hickory- White's Mebane division told his 105 Hillsborough employees the plant would close in April. At the time, the furniture company was Hillsborough's fourth - largest employer. The White family, which opened its Mebane plant in 1881, bought the Hillsborough plant from another furniture company in 1940. The White family sold the plant to Hickory Furniture Company in 1985. The asking price for the 7.6- acre property was $800,000, ac- cording to developer Jim An- thony, who handled the Euros- port deal. He declined to give the selling price but said it was below that amount. "It's a great deal, it's going to be a great investment for them," he said. Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson said he welcomed Eu- rosport with open arms. "That's great news. I'll roll out the wel- "We wanted a small -town environment, an environment we could participate in and not just be located in." Mike Moylan Eurosport co -owner come mat myself." Moylan, a former assistant soccer coach at Orange High School, said he looks forward to the Hillsborough move and giv- ing something back to the town. "We have a very young com- pany," with an average em- ployee age of about 25, he said. Moving into the furniture plant and getting it ready will take some time and effort. Moy- lan said. "It's going to be a project." Eurosport and its employees initially plan to move into only the newer, 40,000 - square -foot aluminum section of the plant, Moylan said. The first -floor space will be used as a ware- house for sporting equipment that the 8- year -old company sends to other stores, he said. Wiring and renovation work have already begun on a part of the building's second floor, which will be used for office space. Moving into the older, wood- en space is more of a long -term project. Moylan said. Depending on growth — his company has The Chapel Hill Herald September 4, 1991 been g owing at an annual rate of 350 percent in recent years -- Eurosport could renovate and occupy the rest of the site within two years, he said. "We don't really know what we're going to do about retail right now," Moylan said, be- cause the site the plant occupies is not coned for such purposes. "We'll have to talk to the town about that." Hillsborough is willing to lis- ten, Johnson said. "I don't think that'll be much of a problem," he said. "We need to do as much as we can to create jobs." Given the seasonal fluctua- tion in business. Moylan said his company would not im- mediately be accepting applica- tions for business. The 45- person staff will be moving over from the Durham store in October. Moylan said. Business does pick up around . Christmas and in the summer, though, requiring about 70 em- ployees, he said.

I Mebane company set to reclaim 1 `business, residential recyclables they handle like most recycl' ' By Rick Henry Y facilities, American Reclaim w Contributing Writer handle virtually all recyclab materials. � I � I I I I I u There's one thing John Mace is sure of, and it has convinced him that his latest business venture will be a success. "If we (as a society) are going to stay on this planet," he said. "We can't keep creating materials and not reusing them." With that philosophy in mind, Mace, a Mebane building contractor, and Thomas Barber, owner of Alamance Garbage Ser- vice, are opening American Reclaim, a recycling and materials recovery facility on Redman Crossing Road in Mebane. The start -of- the -art, 3,500 square foot facility will handle all types of recyclables and will provide a place where residents Ind businesses can ,ke their recyclable materials. American Reclaim is' unique from other recycling plants for several reasons. First off, the facility is privately owned. Most recycling centers are funded in varying degrees by the municipality where they are located, according to Zollie Ferrell, the facility's general manager.

"They can Ohio, that resemble American handle one or two materials (i.e. bottles or cans or paper) but not all." American Reclaim's ability to handle co- mingled materials will make it easier for area businesses to recycle, according to Ferrell. "Imagine you own a business and you want to recycle," Ferrell said. "How do you handle the logistics of recycling everything ?" Ferrell used cardboard as an example. "Small businesses may use a lot of cardboard, but they can't afford a bailer to put it together and store," he said. Businesses will be able to put all their recyclable materials in the same containers and bring them to the facility, thus eliminating sorting hassles. "Being in construction I know a lot of people in various industries and I knew from talking to them there wasn't enough of any item to make recycling viable," said Mace. "There is a need for all of it, so co- mingling is the thing to do." ln,order to handle the enormous task' of separating the recyclables, the facility is equipped with a 40- ! foot long, 12 -foot high conveyor, "I think this is probably five to waste and we've got to process it," i 10 years ahead of its time," said Mace said. !Ferrell.

Overall, nine of the county's top 20 businesses have expanded their work force or square footage or announced plans for expansion within the past year, Ted Abernathy told. the Chapel Hill Board of Realtors at the Chapel Hill Country Club. But after his talk, Abernathy said he's not ready to name all the firms. "I have not made it public yet," he said, adding that he will be making a formal presentation on business ex- pansion to the Orange County Board of Commissioners June 3. Some com- panies, such as, General Electric, have already announced their plans, he said. Abernathy had mettioned the planned expansions to the Realtors to "There's a theory that there's no businesses, that there's no buildings to put them in and there's no land zoned for them. And it's not true." Ted Abernathy Development director show that prospects are good for add- ing commercial property to the coun- ty's 90 percent residential tax base. "There's a theory that there's no businesses, that there's no buildings to put them in and there's no land zoned for them," Abernathy said. "And it's not true." Although the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UNC Hos- pitals represent 30 percent of the jobs in Orange County, other employers Orange County's, unemploy- ment rate has not risen above 2.9 percent. during recent months, Abernathy said. The biggest job loss occurred when the White _ Furniture company left Hillsborough and fired about 60 people, he said. The backbone of commercial activity, however, is small busi- nesses, those employing fewer than 100 people, he added. About 99.5 percent of busi- nesses in Orange County em- ploy fewer than 100 people, he said. operate locally. They include Northern Telecom Inc., which recently signed the coun- ty's largest lease — for 92,000 square feet on Mattress Factory Road in the Orange County portion of Mebane — as well as General Electric, which is adding 80,000 square feet on Indus- trial Way, also in Mebane. Abernathy said." "I hope we're getting to the point where we really know how to roll out the red carpet, (for busi- nesses) and we'll quit scaring so many of them away," he added. The EDC director said Orange County will not attract the heavy in- dustry some people fear because land in the county costs too much. At the same time, different sections of the county want different kinds of com- mercial activity, increasing the chances for recruitment overall. For example, Mebane attracts industry, while the Chapel Hill area attracts re- tail shops and offices. Abernathy could not predict how many new jobs might be added to the county in the com- ing year. But he said even with potential layoffs at the univer- sity there would be a net in- crease iri jobs. The Economic Development Commission assists businesses considering locating here or al- ready in operation. "Economic development is taking informa- tion and taking it to the right people," Abernathy said. "It's helping the community under- stand what the issues are." I I I I 1 The Chapel Hill Newspapel May 10, 1991 ''Carol Woods Ito expand ►8y TOM PARKS Staff Writer j A three -year, $14 million expansion of Carol Woods Retirement Community will bring 40 new full-time jobs to southern Or- ange County, according to Carol Woods officials. John Diffey, executive director of Carol Woods, said Thursday the expansion in- . dudes 50 one - and two- bedroom apart- ments, an auditorium, a swimming pool and a health center. "This is the kind of development that Chapel Hill seeks," Diffey told members of the Orange County Economic Develop- ment Commission. Commissioners hear aboutnew developments in the county at i their monthly meetings. Carol Woods was built 11 years ago on 120 acres north of Weaver Dairy Road. It is one of the-1.0 largest non - governmental em- ployers in the county and is a nonprofit i agency. i After the expansion, 40 acres will remain unused. About 330 people live there now. There will be room for 450 after the expansion. Al- most half of the additional spaces have been reserved already, according to Diffey. The expansion was driven by a long wait- ing list at Carol Woods, said James Cansler, chairman of the retirement community's board of directors. It can take between three and five years to get a spot at Carol Woods. Also, the number of older people in Or- ange County is growing, he said. According .to the Orange County Department on Ag- ing, more than one in five people who live in Orange County are older than 50. Meanwhile, similar retirement commun- ities are being built or planned in Burling- ton, Cary, Raleigh and Durham, Cansler said. Carol Woods had to grow to stay com- petitive, he said. The expansion is being financed through the sale of $25.9 million in tax -free bonds handled by the Bank of Scotland. The bond sale covered the cost of expansion and a re- financing of Carol Woods original debt: Construction on the 50 apartments has al- ready begun. They will be ready for occu- pancy in spring of 1992. A couple moving into one of the two - bedroom apartments would pay an entry fee of about $156,00, Diffey said. Surgical board plans move to j Hill The American Board of Or- thopaedic Surgery is relocating . its headquarters from Chicago to Chapel Hill. Tiese Architects of Chapel Hill designed the building (20,000 square feet). Construc- tion has recently begun, and the completion date is May 1992. The office building will be lo- cated on Silver Cedar Court next to The American Board of Pediatrics headquarters (also de- signed by Tise Architects). The American Board of Or,: thopaedic Surgery will occupy 13,000 square feet on the first and third floors of the building. , The remaining 7,000 square feet will be leased for office space.

The Chapel Hill Herald April 24, 1991 The Chapel Hill Herald April 24, 1991 Y'92 date eyed for start of Chapel Hill North By LAURA CRENSHAW The chapel Hill Herald CHAPEL HILL — The devel- oper of Chapel Hill North on Tuesday said he hopes to break ground on the project during the first half of 1992. Ron Strom also said he's not sure whether he'll contest the town council's vote to restrict a planned gas. station's hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. "I'm relieved to have the per- mit," said Strom, managing partner of Chapel Hill North Limited Partnership. "I'm re- lieved the process is over. But it's not a process I would care to repeat." Residents of the Northwood neighborhood near the pro- Posed 40 -acre development off N.C. 86, meanwhile, expressed disappointment after Monday's vote that the council didn't go far enough. Residents have expressed con- cern that underground gasoline storage tanks could leak, con- taminating Northwood's two neighborhood wells. They also have criticized Chapel Hill North's projected impact on traffic ant noise. The ta..Jn council voted 5 -3 Monday night to approve a spe- cial -use permit for Chapel Hill North, but added the gas - station hour limitations despite objec- tions from both Town Manager Cal Horton and Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos. They cautioned against limiting one gas sta- tion's hours when others in town are open all fight. "I'm not sure it's appropriate I to put it anywhere," Karpinos said when asked about the re- striction. Later, Karpinos told council members to state as many rea- sons as possible for limiting the hours. "We can use that as part of the evidence to defend it if we need to," he said. Strom said Tuesday he's not sure whether he'll contest the limits on the gasoline station hours. "It certainly puts us at a com- petitive disadvantage for find- ing an operator," he said. "We certainly were disappointed to see yet another condition placed upon us. But I don't even want to co Timent on what rem- edies mighe be available." t, Mebane Enterprise April 17, 1991 Royal Home Fashions expands local operations and. increases By Lisa Allen Business is booming at Royal Home Fashions of Mebane. The company has hired more than 20 new employees since November, and is expanding operations within their current plant. A second shift and a physical expansion of the Plant are under consideration. "Our business is growing," said Rick Norwood, corporate director of human resources in the company's home office in Durham. Royal Home Fashions began manufacturing lined and unlined drapes in Mebane in 1987 with a staff of 125 workers. In just four years, the number of employees has risen to 225, with plans for hiring an additional 45 workers within the year. The 55,000 square -foot building purchased on Oakwood Street Ex- tension is quickly filling with per- sonnel and equipment, Norwood said. The company recently ex- panded and paved the parking lot to accommodate the larger workforce. Norwood said the company is also considering instituting a partial second shift and may expand the building in the near future. "We look forward to a long and lasting relationship with the area and will be keeping our manufacturing plant in this location for. a long time," commented Nor- workforce wood in a press release issued by the Orange County Economic De- velopment Commission. Royal Home Fashions, which is owned by Croscill of New York City, produces pleated drapes, pole - top drapes, valences and novelty valences with tie- backs. The home offices and additional manufacturing facilities are located in Durham and the main manufac- turing operation is in Henderson, N.C.. Norwood said the Henderson plant had expanded three times since 1983, increasing its workforce from 100 to 700 workers in the process. The Croscill product line is sold locally in Belks, J.C. Penny and Dillards. The Chapel Hill Herald April 9, 1991 Mebane plant to hire 45 more MEBANE — The Mebane plant of Royal Home Fashions will expand its work force by 45 employees due to a demand for its products, according to the Orange County Economic Development Commission. I The plant produces pleated and pole -top drapes as well as, novelty valences with tie- backs. The company grew from 451 employees to 200 in 1990, ac- cording to the EDC. Due to the expansions, the company will also need to add to its 55,000 - square foot build- ing.

"An active downtown commission has helped." The 'western location also seems to bolster the building's marketability. Boak said. "We tend to be a little more reasonably priced than East Franklin," he said. The Fountains and Fowler's projects started more than four years ago when the now - defunct Rosemary Square and West Court projects were in full swing. Rosemary Square was voted down and West Court founder Guilford T.

CHAPEL HILL --- The county commissioners this week became the fast elected body to support creating a countywide visitors bu- reau financed by a hotel motel WA_ But the Orange County Board 'of Commissioners stopped short of endorsing all five principles supported by the Hillsborough and Chapel Hill- Carrboro chambers of commerce, the county Economic Development Commission a ^4 Public 'I ite Part - neLship. County 'commissioners expressed res- ervations'^ °s Tuesday night } 'about a pro- posal telling Chapel Hill illholt town officials 'to commit 20 percent of their ex- isting hotel -motel tax to the pro- posed visitors bureau. i 'It just seems we ought to take 'care of our business and Chapel i Hill should take care of theirs," Commissioner Verla Insko said. She said she considered it awk- ward for one local government to tell another what to do. Commissioner Don Willhoit led ,the opposition, asking EDC offi- cials, "What's the rationale for asking Chapel Hill to kind of chip in twice?" EDC Director Ted Abernathy . 'said that only 7 percent of the tr- -i's current hotellmotel tax 6 directly to visitors services. The figure ranks lowest in the state, with most local govern- ments donating 50 percent or more to visitors services, he said. Members of the PPP visitors task force that proposed the hotel -motel tax thought the town The Chapel Hill Herald December 20, 1990 jshould contribute more, Abe- rnathy said. • Chapel Hill dedicates about 20 percent of its approximately $250.000 hotel -motel tax revenue to visitors services and cultural af- fairs, with most going to cultural affairs, Abernathy said Wed nesday. The PPP . task horse recom- mends: — Creating a muntwide entity to operate a countywide visitors services program. — Governing the bureau by members representing "appropri- ate organizations." — The county commissioners' seeking legislative authority to levy a countywide occupancy tax dedicated to the bureau.. County Manager John Link Jr.' suggested Carey and the mayors work out specifics, such as whether the tax should be 1 per- cent, 1.5 percent or 2 percent. "We. need to go ahead and ex- pedite this process," he said. Other questions, such as who would serve on the authority to oversee the visitors bureau and how it would functiOn, also need to be addressed, Link and Carey said. Insko noted that she had many questions about details of the pro- . posal that would need to be an- swered later. "We could spend all night asking about details." The Chapel Hill Town Council will hear the PPP report at its; Jan. 14 meeting, Howes said wide effort ought to be based on a countywide tax," he said He said he was not opposed to the PPP or other groups negotiat- ing with Chapel Hill officials ,about what percentage of tax rev- enues they should spend on visi- tors services. However, he said he didn't think county, officials should be involved in such deci- sions. Chapel Hill Mayor Jonathan Howes said Wednesday that he was glad the commissioners re- sponded as they did to the direc- tive to Chapel Hill, "It's one thing for the ppp to recommend that, but another for the commissioners," said Howes. Although Howes also serves as PPP president, he said he was — Seeking other private and government sources of funding. — Chapel Hill committing 20 per - cent of its current occupancy tax to the bureau. The proposed Orange County Visitor Development Authority would have a budget of $200,00 by 1992 -93, organizers said. The center would be financed by a tax of between 1 and 3 percent of hotels and motels throughout the county. Because Chapel Hill already lev- ies a 3 percent tax, the county- wide tax would increase the occu- pancy tax to between 3 and 6 percent. Willhoit indicated support of the proposal except for the direc- tive to Chapel Hill. "A county- commenting as the mayor. Commissioners' Chairman Moses Carey, who served on the PPP visitors task force, said the commissioners need to incorpo- rate the PPP plan into the legisla- tive package they will ask their local delegation to support in the 1991 General Assembly. He en- dorsed the substance of the pro- gram and tax, but warned that changes need to be made. Howes agreed that details need to be worked on. "It might re- quire some fine tuning," Howes said "Government bodies need to take a broader view" of the issues than the PPP and other groups took, he said.

The Parker Hannifin Corporation announced it will expand and consolidate its facilities by the spring of next year. Currently, Parker. Hannifin, a Cleveland -based corporation, has two facilities in Hillsborough. on Elizabeth Brady Road and at Boone Square. The company manufactures iraulic cylinders and accumulators tur hydraulic machinery and systems. The corporation. -planned to'. consolidate the two locations into one at the Elizabeth Brady Road site from the time it moved to Hillsborough in 1984, according to an official. "We fully intended to move over there from the beginning," said Larry Rinehart. '. "Sales have supported investing in a larger j plant." Rinehart said that the corporation . is happy to be in Hillsborough, and. the move gives an indication the corporation will stay in . Hillsborough. "The town has given us support and now we are investing in it," he said. "[The move] 'gives the indication of the kind of support j we've had." The planned 21,000- square -foot, 3- million expansion will allow ...e corporation to add six new employees, bringing the total to .111. Groundbreaking is expected to take place in September, with completion in early spring. Mebane Packaging Company in Orange County will add 46 employees during its $4 -mWion to 4.5- million, 60,000 - square -foot expansion. Don Bradshaw, vice president of administration for the company, said that groundbreaking would begin as j soon as late 1990 on the expansion, assuming everything falls into place. Bradshaw also said the planned expansion was the third of the manufacturing division since Mebane Packaging was built in 1973. Expansions occurred in 1976 .and in.. 1985 when Mebane packaging _added the CustomFlute The News of Orange County July, 4, 1990 Company. Mebane Packaging makes folding cartons for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal hygiene products as well as promotional preprinted cartons for the tobacco industry and other companies. The current workforce of Mebane Packaging is 253 employees. The average wages for the workforce is 15 percent above the average i manufacturing wage in Orange County. The expansion plan calls for the + addition of 60,000 square feet and the consolidation of 30,000 square feet; bringing the total area to 230,000 square feet after the planned expansion. Orange County Economic ! Development Commission Director Ted Abernathy called the expansion plan "good" and said the county may see more and more of this type of expansion. "What we are seeing is that the businesses are happy in Orange County," he said. "Some of these businesses also have plants outside the county, but chose to stay, bringing increasingly high - paying jobs to the county." Abernathy said that the county is seeing the number of vacancies drop in two of the county's largest business centers — Hillsborough Business Center and the Europa Center in Chapel Hill. is a long -term growth remains to be seen." The Economic Development Commission played a key role in both of the planned expansions, said Abernathy. The commission helped Mebane Packaging secure the $5.5 million industrial bonds it will need for the expansion, while for Parker' Hannifin, the commission brought company, town and county officials! together early on to make the time frame for the expansion as short as possible. The expansion of Mebane Packaging is expected to generate an additional $20,000 in property taxes in Orange County. "The pattern is looking Lisa Allen contributed 'to this positive," he said.
