PURPOSE: Tc conalder atloption of the Water antl Sewer Management, Planning antl Bountlery
Agreement following final review by parties to the agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Water antl Sewer Management, Planning antl Bountlery Agreement Task
Farce has tleveloped and re5nsd this agreement over the lest seven years. This agreement sets
forth many aspects of water antl sewer provision by identifying responsible entities providers,
extension policy and lorational boundary issues. An infrestmcture agreement of this type can
serve as an important basis far comprehensive land use planning, The efficient provision and
location of public water and sewer services through this agreement ie a valuable prerequisite [o
ongoing comprehensive planning.
On April 1 ], 2001, the BoaN of County Commissioners atlop[ed a resolution approving the krtn
and substance mthe Water and Sewer Management, Planning antl Boundary.Agreement. The
agreement was subsequently referretl to Chapel Hill, Cenboro, and Hillsborough for concurrence.
Since [he irensmittel ro the local govemmen[s only Chapel Hill's urban service line change affected
iha anginal agreement That change is shown in Atfachmem 5 and reflemetl cn the new bountlary
map on Attachment 4.
Camboro's requeab were addressetl and incorporated in the teat of the agreement that was
approvetl In Apol 1], 2001. The changes included references to Rangawootl, Heritage Hills, Piney
Mountain and section VLF.
Chapel Hill requestetl that
The map be revised to inclutle the urban services boundary illustretetl on the Lantl Use Plan
atlopted by the Town Council on May S, 2000.
Chapel Hill's amentlment tc the agreement was a resat[ of a lantl use boundary map change that
included the Urban Services Boundary retraction on their atlopted Mey 2666 comprehensive plan.
There are other Implications of the urban service line change since land use tlensities that now lie
outside the line will not be supportetl by infiastmc[ure. However, atthla tlme antl pertaining to this
agreement the Urban Services Boundary change is reasonable.
SUMMARY COMMENT
Two aspects of the process tp atlopl and Implement the agreement should be noted. Adopting a
multi-party agreement is a challenging prospect no[ only from the consensus Wilding creatlon
stage but tluring the final IndNitlusl entity adoption phase. Any change that is suggested by one
entry neetla to be retlistributetl and reatlopted by Ne other entities in around robin' process. All
final comments ate [hereby incorporated antl a wnei6[eM agreement antl map is atlolrtetl by all
parties
A second aspect Inclutles how the multi-party agreement becomes a lantl use planning and
regulatory document Aproposal hoe bean posetl that would suggestthet the agreemen[be
incorporated trim the joint planning agreement wdh Chapel Hill antl Carrborc. This could be
brought (onvartl in the April 2662 regulatly schetluled JPA Public Hearing. Otherjuristlictione that
are party tc the agreement, such as Hillsborough, but are not par[ of the Chapel HiIIIWrtWro/
Orarge Cpunry JPA would need b be implemented through lend use cooperation In another
manner. AlNOdgh not pally to the agreement at [his time, the cities of Mebane antl Durham who
provitle utilities In Orenge County may similatly be involvetl in woNinated land use planning.
In any evert, both concluding aspects of the agreement will Inevdably lead b progressive and
comprehensive Wblic service antl lantl use planning.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time.

E.. Siting of Essential Pnblic Facilities Within Interest Areas.
The location of some essential. public faciites, particularly
