3• <br /> (b) CP-3-95 Land Use Plan Amendment (Natural and Cultural Resources) <br /> This item was presented by Marvin Collins to receive citizen comment on <br /> proposed amendments to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Revisions were <br /> proposed to the Inventory of Sites of Cultural, Historical, Recreational, Biological, and <br /> Geological Significance in the Unincorporated Portions of Orange County and the "Water <br /> Resources" section through which to implement, in part, the State's Water Supply Watershed <br /> Protection Act of 1989. The proposed revisions were listed in their entirety in the agenda. <br /> The administration recommends that the proposed amendments be referred to the Planning <br /> Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than <br /> January 16, 1996. <br /> QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND THE <br /> PLANNING BOARD. <br /> None. <br /> QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS. <br /> Steve Yuhaz asked for clarification about the practical effect of the designation and <br /> questions if it would be used within the zoning ordinance or subdivision regulations. <br /> Marvin Collins stated that many of these features are currently regulated through <br /> existing ordinances. The limitations created by poor soils cause difficulty in getting preliminary <br /> soil analysis approved by the Health Department. The natural areas and historic sites are <br /> covered through the Environmental Impact Ordinance requirements as well as through the <br /> potential cluster subdivision option that exist in the subdivision regulations. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Crowther, to <br /> refer this item to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of <br /> Commissioners no sooner than January 16, 1996. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 2.
