or less appropriate only in the areas designated Ten and Twenty Year Transition and Rural Residential. Land Use Plan Policy 11.6 limits such systems tv 3,000 gallons per day and limits the area to lG or 20 year transition and rural residential. The mobile home park is located in the rural buffer and needs a plant with a design capacity of 10,000 gallons per day. The requirements in the Land Use Policy I1.4 seem to be met. A determination needs to be made as to whether or not the permitted use of package plants is implied in the language of the policy. Chair Willhoit noted that from the standpoint of the Land Use Plan and the rural buffer there is a question of whether thia uae would be permitted todaq if it weze to be anew proposal. Gene $e11 stated it would not be permitted if it were a new proposal. Chair Willhoit questioned if the ordinance makes any provisions for upgxading such a development in conjunction with considering the request. Travis Blake, owner of the mobile home park, indicated every alternative had been explored and this system seemed to be the most feasible. Dr. Gordon referred to section 11.4 and asked the definition of a state approved onsite water system. Mr. Blake indicated a state approved onsite wastewater system would be any system that would qualify for NPDS permanent development discharge limitations and which would meet the ~F~ Point limitations. Dr. Gordon noted that if you require rural areas with unacceptable soil to have state approved onsite sewage disposal systems it seems tl'iat 11.6 would apply. Blake noted that the state only gets involved with systems over 3,00o gallons. Dr. Gordon suggested that i1.4 and 11.6 be reexamined and a possible provision be added that addresses the question of a health standard failure in existing developments. Chair Willhoit explained that because this is a nonconforming use and there is an existing problem, there should be a mechanism to bring it up to some level of aesthetic standard to conform. Travis Slake indicated the standards for screening will. be met. Motion was made by Chair Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd to interpret 11.4 to permit the replacement of the wastewater treatment system because of the public health emergency, and to encourage th.e owner to make site improvements to bring the development more in keeping with the intent of the rural buffer zone in which it is located and to refer this situation to the staff far further study and clarification. The $oard requested that the Planning Staff and the Planning Board addxess the Land Use Plan policy section 11.4 and 11.6 for clarification in addressing existing situations. pOTE: UNATciI40US. G15 .RECI.A$rq~E.1~~QN_ APPEALS Motion was made by Chair Willhoit that, in accordance with the Personnel Ordinance, the reclassification appeals be handled by the County Manager. Commissioner Lloyd said the appeals are an end result of direct action taken by the Board and a decision made by the $oard and it is inappropriate to not follow through on the appeals. The Board would be doing a disservice to the 2rranager to dump an unpopular decision on his shoulders and f},o Rnar.l rAo nlnvecc 1-hc rmirroav of mal~inp Phi rlaricinn~_
