The State, at the present time, does not have a plan. This mean;.,; that no one in the State of North Garolina tan take a step forward in the tomputerizatic~:<.;_`,; of human services. Chairman Carey suggested that the County Commissioners Association be contacted for their support in formulating a State plan. Chairman Carey added to the agenda a resolution from the Commission for Women. He moved G2 to immediately follow the public hearing on "The Old Plate." Commissioner Willhoit made reference to a memo he received from Lane Kendig about watershed protection criteria. Kendig indicated that for large lot size development there would be a larger impervious surface ratio. He ignored the fact that the main focus of the CDM study and the different scenarios run through on the model indicated that the loading is very sensitive to the impervious surface ratio. The CDM study emphasizes that the impervious surface ratio must be controlled. It is clear that what the committee has been talking about are design standards and not performance standards. He suggested looking at ways,ta eliminate certain types of driveways from the impervious surface calculation that would fit ix3to the design standards and thus allow for buffers between driveways and streams.
