Q~~ <br />Kenneth Thorr~on ~estioned the 615 versus 620 elevation; Geoff <br />Gledhill indicated that• the origir_a]. plan was for Lake Orange Corporation to <br />maintain ownership from 615 to 620 feet. <br />Mr. Eisenhower, homeowner on Lake Orange, stated that with the <br />flooding of the current easement, another easement would be necessary in order <br />to maintain the 5-feet flood level which would require anew envirornnental <br />impact study. <br />Mr. Tilly indicated that the flood easement states it may be used for <br />temporary flooding only. If the lake was raised and additional easements were <br />necessary to 620 feet, this would destroy the value of the lots and additional <br />problems would be created. <br />Kenneth Thompson pointed out on a map the three (3) properties that <br />would be affected by the raising of the lake. <br />Chair Willhoit stated the project may be more extensive than <br />origina?ly anticipated and perhaps the County should explore the possibility of <br />adding one foot. <br />Cor~nnissioner Marshall stated the people in the area need to be con- <br />tacted and all questions answered. <br />Commissioner Carey questioned the cysts and suggested tabling the <br />item until decisions caald be made on funding sources and the impact on the <br />property is known. <br />There was a consensus to explore the cost for adding one foot which <br />would not require any additional easements and to inquire i~ the 'Ibwn of r3ills- <br />barough plans to fund a feasibility study. <br />Mr. Ti11y noted the group understands that Lake Orange may be raised <br />one foot and are not opposed. <br />L1..

LEaGISLATTVE ITEMS (Complete narratives are in the permanent agenda <br />file. ) <br />Kenneth Thompson stated there are two bills cuzrent].y before the <br />legislature which mey be of local interest: <br />1. seeks legislative authority for the orthophoto method to be <br />recognized as a valid survey means to establish the boundary description for <br />the Otange/Chatham county line, and <br />2. proposes to tax the value of property transferred through sale. <br />13.
