In response to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis, Mr. <br /> Thames indicated that there are some continuing problems with <br /> septic systems in mobile home parks. However, the state is getting <br /> tougher with these situations which is alleviating the problem <br /> somewhat. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR CITIZEN COMMENT <br /> Mr. Billy Seasoms, representing the applicant, presented the <br /> history of this project. He indicated that work stopped on this <br /> project when Mr. Bains disappeared in 1985. He indicated that the <br /> only change in this request is that they hope to use a spray <br /> irrigation system which DEM has suggested. He also mentioned that <br /> Mrs. Bain's children have operator licenses and they will be <br /> qualified to operate this system. <br /> In response to a question from Commissioner Gordon, it was <br /> explained that a pump station with a force main would be used. The <br /> sewage from the trailer park will flow into a main location. It <br /> is then pumped to the treatment plant which is located on the 19 <br /> acre tract. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis, to refer this item to the Planning Board <br /> for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners <br /> no sooner than January 6, 1992 . <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 3. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments <br /> a. Large Day Care Homes <br /> (1) Article 6.27.3 Application Procedure <br /> This item was chaired by Planning Board Chair Betty ' <br /> Eidenier and presented by Planner Eddie Kirk. In summary this <br /> proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will provide a process <br /> for administrative approval of minor changes in approved large day <br /> care homes. Under the current ordinance provisions any change in <br /> the operation of a large day care home will constitute a <br /> modification and require approval of the Board of Adjustment. The <br /> proposed amendment would provide a process where minor changes in <br /> approved large day care homes may be approved by the Zoning <br /> Officer. The standards for evaluation of large day care homes are <br /> specified in Section 6.27.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. In many cases <br /> minor changes may continue to comply with these specific standards. <br /> The proposed amendment would allow minor changes that comply with <br /> requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to be approved by the Zoning <br /> Officer. All changes that do not comply with large day care home <br /> requirements will require approval of the Orange County Board of <br /> Adjustment. <br /> THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF <br /> COMMISSIONERS, PLANNING BOARD OR CITIZENS. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by <br />
