• i~u 5 meetings were held for the purpose of identifying the area and e~:plaining the recommendation made by the staff. The proposal was reviewed ~s well as the alternatives. A public hearing coos held on November 28, 1983. No immediate action was taken pending a reservoir study indicating the reservoir sites in the upper Eno area and how they related to the land use plan. on Idarch 29, 1984, the Township advisory Council for Cheeks, Hillsborough and Eno township held a meeting. The Hillsborough Advisory - Council endorsed the findings and recommendations of the Planning Board with regard to the i~7est Orange area development standards. The Cheeks Advisory Council endorsed the resolutions they had made previously with regard to the G7est Orange Plan for Cheeks Township which included (1) positive recommendation for the extension of water and sewer throughout the T-85 and US 70 corridor; (2) the deletion oz the water critical area along 7-85 and US 70 connector and (3) a minimum lot size for Industrial use be reconsidered. They did not made a recommendation about the zoning of Cheeks. The Orange County Planning Board met on biarch 19, 1984. One major concern with regard to the reservoir study was the .time frame. They endorsed the Y2est Orange area study including the Seven t~,ile Creek reservoir study proposal and the water critical area. The seven mile creek reservoir site was the first priority. Collins entered into the record the resolution (~~_ in the resolution permanent file). Y,e pointed out that the water quality critical area as presented an November 28, 1983 used _ property lines for boundaries. These areas are now indicated by usin ridge lines. The Planning t3oard unanimously recommends to the Board of - Commissioners the adoption of the G7est Orange Study and Land Use Plan as .. presented at the November 28 public hearing with the revised designation of the water quality critical area in determining boundary lines. A proposal was made to add to the Ylest Orange Land Use Plan a new land use plan category for the water quality critical area. The description is as follows: Designate anew plan category, Water duality Critical Area, far the area adjacent to water supply inpoundrients to provide far more comprehensive development standards for .water quality protection than in less critical areas of the water supply watershed. The plan category is applied to land draining directly to existing or future water supply impoundments (Lake Sen Johnson, Corporation hake, proposed expansion of Cor~;oration Lake and proposed Seven Mile Creek) by overland flow and interflow, called shorelands and draining directly into the main channels of trunk streams emptying into the impoundments. The Planning Board unanimously supported (1) the land use plan category designation; (2) location criteria; and (3) land use goals and policies as presented at the November 28, 1983 meeting. Commissioner Lloyd requested the criteria for establishing the water quality critical lines. Collins explained that by using a topographic map, the proposed reservoir sites were drawn and identified by drawing a line along the ridge lines of those lands that would drain directly into the lake without doing through any tributaries. Going up the tributary to the first fork and back to the proposed impoundment identifying those lands that would drain directly into the main channels
