ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING & INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT so <br />• Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Director <br />tarot[ °f e' <br />Current Planning ~M` '°-. 306E Revere Road _ <br />(919) 245-2575 ~_ ~ P O Box 8181 <br />(919) 644-3002 (F~4X) ~ Hillsborough, <br />www.co.orange.nc.us '"°~Ib ~a~~~°° North Carolina, 27278 <br />f~, <br />April 5, 2002 <br />Ms. Chris Rivera <br />2007 Jo Mac Road <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br />This letter is to confirm that the meeting scheduled on Sunday, Apri17, 2002 to discuss the County's <br />proposed No Fault Well Repair Fund (NFWRF) policy with Environmental Health is solely and specifically <br />for that purpose. This meeting is a result of the BOCC's directive to hold a community meeting with residents <br />near to the American Stone Quarry regarding the NFWRF. This specific meeting is confirmed by the draft <br />minutes of the BOCC meeting of February 19, 2002. <br />It came to planning staff's attention, by way of Ron Holdway in Environmental Health, that a flyer was <br />distributed indicating that the meeting would address other issues relating to the Special Use Permit per se. <br />Many of the issues mentioned on the flyer would involve OWASA, American Stone and the Planning <br />Department. Unfortunately, as you and I have discussed, the Planning Department was not notified until we <br />• received a flyer indicating that other County officials would attend the NFWRF meeting to discuss other <br />issues. I have also spoken with American Stone and OWASA representatives and they do not know if they <br />will be able to attend given the short notice. The fact that other parties were not notified, or even involved in <br />the scheduling of the meeting, has led to scheduling conflicts among all parties. Neither the Director nor I will <br />be able to attend the Apri17`~ meeting. It is our sincere hope that the community does not interpret our lack of <br />attendance at this meeting to be synonymous with disregard for their concerns because that would be <br />inaccurate. <br />Perhaps a more productive meeting would be for American Stone Company, OWASA and County <br />Planning Department representatives to schedule a separate meeting to discuss with the community the <br />implementation of certain conditions of the SUP. Both American Stone and OWASA understand that they <br />have conditions in the SUP for which they are responsible to the community and the Planning Department <br />understands its enforcement responsibilities. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to call at the above number. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert P. Davis, AICP <br />Current Planning Supervisor <br />• Cc: Craig Benedict, Planning Director <br />File <br />• ATTACHMENT 3 <br />
