Sob Glutaueff, Lake Orange property owner, expressed concern about the original development of Lake orange and the subsequent agreements with those who donated land for the Lake. He stated that it is evident that Lake orange will continue to be~drained and the landowners will have minimum use of the Lake.

He noted that the reservoir .was not built for recreational purposes but to provide raw water storage for Northern Orange County to be used by all of Orange County. The long range plan is to build a new reservoir and to complete the water line to Durham. Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Chair Willhoit to authorize that the County Manager draw up an engineering agreement to be brought back to the Board for approval to proceed with the engineering design to raise the level of Lake Orange by one foot with the design to be capable of raising the Lake two feet with the use of flashboards and contingent upon resolving property ownership, and to further authorize the County Manager to complete a survey of the Lake Orange property owners to determine their concerns about and support for this project.
