7 ordinance. The Director of the Commission for Women, Lucy Lewis, summarized these changes. It was the consensus of the Board to delete only the "fighting words" sections of the section on "other prohibited acts". A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to (1) direct the staff to complete a revised draft of the ordinance, (2) at a future meeting, receive the revised ordinance and indicate the Board's intention to adopt the revised ordinance and (3) at that point convey the Board's intention to the other jurisdictions and ask for their positive response. In answer to several questions from Commissioner Gordon, Lucy Lewis stated that familial status is different from martial status as it pertains to discrimination against families with children. The panel will be used for a formal review process with a different panel used for each case. She sees no problem in specifying the representation on this panel. Chair Carey asked that the County Commissioners let Lucy Lewis know of any changes they want to make in the ordinance. VOTE: UNANIMOUS VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGDLAR AGENDA A. WATERSHED PROTECTION STANDARDS ZONING OF LITTLE RIVER AND CEDAR GROVE TOWNSHIPS Mary Willis presented for Board consideration of approval proposed amendments to the Orange County Zoning Atlas, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations and Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of extending zoning to Little River and Cedar Grove Townships and implementing State mandated watershed protection standards. Mary Willis focused her comments on the changes that have been made to the document since the August, 1993 public hearing. Eight changes are presented for consideration of the Board. (1) Adopt a new sliding scale for impervious surface ratios to apply to all existing and new lots in WS-II and WS-III watershed (except for new lots in UNIV-PW and UNIV-CA). The proposed scale would require a 12$ impervious surface limit for one-acre lots, and 10.5 for two acre lots, and 6.0$ for lots five acres or more. (2) Where the minimum lot size is 40,000 square feet excluding right-of-way), require also that the minimum lot area inclusive of right-of-way be a full acre (43,560). (3) Reduce the proposed minimum lot size in the Flat River Watershed to one acre. Maintain the 2-acre minimum lot size proposed in the Little River Watershed. (4) Increase the proposed minimum lot size in the portion of the Cane Creek Watershed outside of the Critical Area from 40,000 square feet to 2 acres. (5) Eliminate the existing requirement that septic systems and structures be setback 300 feet and 150 feet, respectively, from steams in Critical Areas. Septic systems would be required to be located outside of any stream buffers, or 100 from the steam, whichever is farther. Structures must be locate outside of the stream buffer.
