f <br />4 <br />said that if Orange County and Hillsborough enter into an agreement whereby <br />sewer extensions are limited and Hillsborough annexes all the land which is <br />the subject of the agreement, the agreement would not apply to the area <br />annexed by Hillsborough but would be valid for the remaining area. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked if tapons could be limited by a <br />notation on the deed and Geoffrey Gledhill said that there is probably a <br />number of ways this could be accomplished. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Insko, Marvin Collins <br />said that there was not a specific commercial plan but that a map was <br />submitted by the developer with a notation that about 20 acres will be <br />commercial. There is an item on the May 23 public hearing agenda to address <br />options which would allow commercial development based on the actual number <br />of units. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br />Commissioner Halkiotis to refer to the Planning Board the proposed amendments <br />with the matrix on page 20 and the "County Plan" for a recommendation to be <br />returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than June 28, 1994. All <br />comments received at the May 5, 1994 public hearing as well as the discussion <br />of the Rural Character strategies from this meeting will be included as part <br />of the record of the May 23, 1994 Quarterly Public Hearing. This item will <br />be continued for further discussion by the County Commissioners to May 31, <br />1994 at 7:30 p.m. in the meeting room of the Agricultural/Planning Facility <br />on Revere Road in Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br />VOTE: AYES, 3; NOS, 2 (Commissioners Gordon and Insko) <br />B. MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR ONSITE ALTERNATIVE <br />TECHNOLOGY WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS <br />John Link said that this public hearing is to receive public <br />comment on two proposed options for providing Orange County Health Department <br />inspections of specified on-site alternative waste treatment systems. He made <br />reference to a chart showing the two options. The first option would be to <br />pursue the State requirements for inspection of these systems and the second <br />option would pursue greater requirements than those required by the State. <br />The second component relates to what will be charged. They are recommending <br />a base fee of $100 per inspection. The information on the back of the chart <br />indicates how this $100 was determined. Repair or replacement of a failing <br />system would be the responsibility of the owner. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis about the <br />second inspection, Paul Thames stated that basically what is assumed is that <br />if they find a problem that needs to be repaired or adjusted, that it will be <br />found in the first inspection and they will then make sure through a second <br />inspection that it has been corrected. <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Beverly Foster, Chair of the Orange County Board of Health, read <br />a prepared statement which is made a part of these minutes by reference. In <br />summary, she gave the history of the program, explained why the Board of <br />Health feels this is an important endeavor and their response to the two <br />options. The Board of Health recommends Option I for DEH systems and Option <br />II for systems regulated by DEM. The Board of Health does not feel that <br />monitoring reports sent to DEM will adequately assure that these systems are <br />
