The goal of the Task Force will be: to reach a binding agreement on these issues, define a future path for dealing with Lake Orange and establish methods for resolving future questions, based on a common understanding that considers and respects the rights, responsibilities and needs of all parties involved. When that consensus is reached and those methods are established, the charter of the Task Force will be fulfilled and the Task Force will end. The first order of business of the Lake Orange Task Force will be to obtain from each Task Force member a statement of its interests and perceived needs from which a concise and specific set of high-level tasks will be defined by the Task Force in support of its charter. Thereafter the Task Force will establish working groups and timelines for completion of each task." He submitted the resolution to the Clerk. Bruce Lucas lives on NC 86 North in Hillsborough. He said that he has water coming on both sides of the road into his branch and it floods his property. He asked for help in getting a bridge, which would stop some of the flooding. He submitted pictures as proof of the flooding. Carolyn Fuller lives in Efland and she has some property in the floodplain. She asked how this was affecting the property and if there was anything they needed to do. Brian Crawford asked that someone from the staff address this question after the meeting. Greg Plachta said that he is a concerned citizen and he agrees with the Friends of Lake Orange. Ed Johnson said that he lives beside a creek and he wants to raise some concerns about data gathering. He made reference to a letter from the Planning Department and said that he lives close enough to the creek that the Planning Department sent out a surveyor and wrote this letter with recommendations and photographs of the property with yellow lines giving sea level elevations. He said that this photograph with the elevations is full of errors. He wonders if other people have been plagued by these errors. Because of these errors, he has no faith in the recommendations made concerning his property. Ken Terlep read a prepared statement: My name is Ken Terlep and I am a member of the "Friends of Lake Orange". My property borders Lake Orange and is within the proposed Special Flood Hazard Overlay District that is included in the proposed Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. I have two primary comments about the proposed Amendment: 1. Although it has been stated that there is no additional restricfiion to property owners with property that is in the new Special Flood Hazard Overlay District, the specific wording to be placed in the Amendment has not been provided. I think we all must have the chance to review the actual words in the Amendment before a final Public Hearing is held. When will the specific wording be available so a comprehensive review can be made?
