b) I-40/Old 86 Economic Development District Area Plans and Timing of Possible<br />
Utilities Expansion<br />
COUNTY Staff: Craig Benedict; TOWN Staff: Margaret Hauth<br />
Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning and Engineering Director, reviewed the<br />
following information:<br />
The Town’s Future Land Use Plan envisions the undeveloped property near the interchange to<br />
be developed with public utilities and predominately non-residential (see Attachment 1-b –<br />
Hillsborough Future Land Use Plan Map).<br />
Orange County (OC) has included in its current year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) water and<br />
sewer utility improvements in the northwest and southwest quadrant of Old NC 86 and I-40.<br />
This area includes over 200 acres and is designated suburban office and mixed use on the<br />
OC/Town of Hillsborough (TOH) joint land use plan and economic development land use on the<br />
County plan. This area is not within TOH Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Since Article 46<br />
economic development monies are being used, future projects should be non-residential and<br />
tax-base/job building. OC and TOH engineering staff have discussed conceptual alignments<br />
and capacity needs.<br />
As a prerequisite to this project, OC and TOH would enter into a utility service agreement that<br />
sets forth the conditions and responsibilities of the jurisdictions. OC has similar agreements<br />
with Mebane and Durham.<br />
The project scope will be to bring a 12” gravity sewer under the interstate from the northwest to<br />
southwest quadrant with a ‘trunk’ line that could provide service to the majority of the southern<br />
interchange area. Joint party review design would start this spring with construction possibly<br />
later in the year depending on interstate crossing permits and easement acquisition.<br />
Management and planning/engineering staff will work together to craft an agreement and<br />
process through the boards.<br />
Margaret Hauth said the map is a snapshot of the Town’s land use map and is<br />
consistent with the interlocal agreements with the County.<br />
Commissioner Pelissier referred to the far southeast quadrant, noting it is currently<br />
designated residential development, and asked if Hillsborough would pay for the extension of<br />
water to this area, as the County cannot use Article 46 funds for extension of residential water<br />
lines.<br />
Margaret Hauth said the designation of this area is up for discussion, but noted it does<br />
have limited access.<br />
Craig Benedict said the land use plan will be reviewed, and amended as necessary, to<br />
make sure that it is meeting the most viable target for this intersection.<br />
Eric Peterson said the developer would be responsible for bringing water and sewer to a<br />
new development in the area mentioned by Commissioner Pelissier. He said there is a Town of<br />
Hillsborough water main running down Old 86.<br />
c) Downtown Redevelopment (Future Uses of Town and County Property, including<br />
County Jail and Colonial Inn)<br />
COUNTY Staff: Jeff Thompson; TOWN Staff: Margaret Hauth<br />
Margaret Hauth opened the floor for questions.<br />
Commissioner Dorosin asked if there is an update on the Colonial Inn.
