See Section 6.6 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance, available at the Planning <br />Department for specific regulations relating to these exceptions. <br />SEWAGE DISPOSAL <br />Septic system locations may restrict the size and location of improvements on each lot. <br />Information regarding the tentative location of septic systems is available from the Orange <br />County Health Department, Division of Environmental Health. <br />WATER SUPPLY <br />The subdivision has been designed and approved with a community well system which will <br />be operated by a utility company pursuant to a Certificate of Public Necessity and <br />Convenience ( "Certificate ") issued by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. As a <br />condition for the issuance of the Certificate, the utility company will be required to post a <br />bond in an amount set by the Utilities Commission to secure the provision of service. No <br />determination has been made as to whether individual lots are suitable for individual wells. <br />If there is a failure in the community well system requiring the construction of new well(s), <br />the new well(s) may have to be located within the Common Areas owned by the <br />Homeowners association as shown on the recorded plat. If for any reason the utility <br />company fails to construct replacement wells, the cost of constructing a replacement well or <br />wells and the cost to abandon a failed well or wells may become the responsibility of the <br />homeowners association, which is authorized to levy special assessments against the lots in <br />the subdivision for the purpose of maintaining, repairing or replacing the community wells. <br />IMPERVIOUS SURFACE CALCULATION <br />An impervious surface is a surface composed of any material which impedes or prevents the <br />natural infiltration of water into the soil. Such surfaces shall include any concrete or asphalt <br />surface. These would include, but not be limited to, streets and parking areas, sidewalks, <br />patios and structures which cover the land. <br />In order to promote infiltration of stormwater runoff into the soil and to minimize direct and <br />immediate runoff into streams and water supply impoundments, impervious surface ratios are <br />required for all subdivisions located within a protected watershed. Modifications of the <br />impervious surface ratios may be requested as variance or through approval and recordation <br />of a conservation agreement. These procedures are described in Article 6.23.3 and 6.23.11 b <br />of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />A portion of lots 3,4,5,6 and 7 are located in the Lower Eno Protected Watershed Overlay <br />District. The impervious surface for the portion of those lots in the Lower Eno Protected <br />Watershed, as indicated on the Final Plat, shall not exceed 36 %. <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR STREAM BUFFER IN PROTECTED WATERSHEDS <br />The portion of lots 6 and 7 located within a stream buffer, as shown on the Final Plat, shall <br />remain in its natural state, unless the area is subject to serious erosion, in which case an <br />2 <br />
