~~~ Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissionnr Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve the final plat of Faxlair with the con- dition that the plat be labeled according to the provision set forth in the Subdivision Ordinance, or else these lots meet Health Department's standards. B. Final Plat of Clyde Bowden, Phase I This plat depicts nine two-acre lots originally presented to the Board of Commissioners as a preliminary plan. The Planning Board unani- mously approved this plan conditioned upon Health Department approval of the waste disposal system on each lot. The Health Department has approved the waste disposal system on seven of the lots shown on the plat, but cannot locate two lots because of inadequate ground identification of this pro- perty. The Manager recommends approval of this plat be withheld pending final Health Department approval of the entire plat or that the plat be modified to approve only the seven lots that have Health Department endorse- ment. Eddie Kirk from the Planning Staff, stated that the nine lots would be cut from a 92 acre tract located in.Chapel Hill Township near Jones Ferry Road, on State Road 1946. Commissioner Walker moved that the plat be approved. Commissioner Pinney asked that the motion be amended to clarify that Lots 22 and 23 must perk or that this be stipulated on the Final Plat. Commissioner Pinney seconded the motion of Commissioner Walker. Discussion ensued concerning the lot lines between Lots 22 and 23. It was felt that these lines could be identified by Mr. Bowden without requiring a survey. Mr. Bowden stated that Mr. Dobson from the District Health Department, had approved these lots, however, when this approval was obtained, the design of the lots was different. Mr. Bowden was asked to attempt to locate lot lines for Lots 22 and 23 and have Mr. Grey to test the soil. Mr. Bowden and the Planning Staff will present this final plat again to the Board on November 15th if this -- information is available. Commissioner Finney withdrew his second and the Chairman declaxed the motion of Commissioner Walker died for lack of a second. Item 5: The Manager recommends the Board of Commissioners concur with the recommendation of U. S. Corps of Engineers dealing with modifioa- tion of the Flood Plain Analysis Survey planning in Orange County. The agenda attachment stated that in 1875, Orange County residents became eligible to acquire flood insurance if the County executed an appli- cation for this type coverage under the Federal Flood Insurance Program. In 1976, an application for this insurance was approved on a temporary basis pending a flood plain study in Orange County by the U. S. Corps of Engineers. In September of that year at a joint meeting with the Carps of Engineers, streams that contributed to flood problems were identified and marked for study at the appropriate time. Since that date, the Corps has modified its guidelines relating to identification of streams to be studied by terminating study of each stream at the point where its upstream watershed becomes less than one square mile. The rationale for this deci- sion is, watersheds of this size do not contribute significantly to down- stream flooding. The Corps would like to modify the area of study in Orange County to reflect their current policy. Maps showing the proposed modification have been filed in the County Planning Office. As these modifications are not major and do not affect the availability of flood plain insurance in Orange County, the Manager recommends the Commissioners agree to the Corps' proposal. The County Manager presented a map which identified the streams. It was pointed out that one of the streams, Old Field Creek, was a creek which •the proposed I-40 Highway would cross. Mr. Pinney suggested that this should be noted and become a part of the information gathered in opposi- tion to I-40. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustevason, it was moved and adopted to accept the Manager's recommendation to agree to the Corps' proposal except for Old Field Creek.
