OWASA <br />ORANGE WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY <br />Quality Service Slnce 1977 <br />By Facsimile Transmission <br />Dr. Alice Gordon, Chairman <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Dr. Gordon: <br />May 24, 1999 <br />2 5 ~c,-~~ <br />I am writing in regard to the proposed Flexible Development text amendments to Orange <br />County's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances that will be the subject of tonight's public hearing. <br />OWASA recognizes that the County's Flexible Development provisions are an important <br />component of the Creative Open Space Design - or clustering -approach that we have <br />recommended as a development option in the Cane Creek watershed. OWASA believes that the <br />proposed amendments would appropriately strengthen some of the current open space <br />requirements for cluster developments in ways that will more adequately protect the Cane Creek <br />water supply. <br />Although our Board of Directors has not had sufficient opportunity to review the proposed <br />amendments in detail, we generally support their adoption and look forward to providing <br />additional written comments before the hearing record is closed. <br />Sincerely, <br />V v~-,~~.v ' ' ~2.tJ~" <br />Dan C.
