~i J,'f PAGE 4 d. Amend the first sentence under #6 to read: The Coun~ will not permit community alternativ~reatment and disposal systems ~~~ within the current critical area of the University Lake watershed. - 1 e. Amend the first sentence under #10 to read: The Gounty and Towns will jointly inance and conduct a study of the possible use of transferable development rights for the purpose of watershed protection. 3. Given the existence of many watersheds in Orange County and the potential for transferring the agreement provisions and protection measures to other watersheds, the $aard of Commissioners supports the following changes to the final agreement concerning University Lake watershed protection prior to its adoption: a. Under #5b, clarify what is meant by the jurisdictions sharing in associated casts in "equitable" fashion when a landowner is successful in gaining a final court order ruling that the watershed regulations have resulted in a regulatory taking. In other words, what basis or what formula will be used to determine an "equitable" sharing of costs? ~ - b. Under #5c, consider two strategies for addressing passible hardships on farmers: (1) Voluntary Agricultural Preservation Districts which would include provisions for tax abatements above those currently provided under use value taxation, relief from nuisance suits, and assessment waivers; and (z) Purchase of development rights program for farmers under financial stress including an option to permit the sale of development rights purchased pr;,..:, to the approval of TAR legislation, and funding options such as bond salE'":'-;=:~' proceeds and general tax revenues. c. Add, .as #5e, the following: The effect that large lots will have on the total value of building and improvements located on the land .is clear. As such, the Gounty government and its citizens generally should receive something.from the beneficiaries of watershed protection. This may be simple payments to the County or in-kind resources used by the County to foster economic development in appropriate areas and aid the better utilization of land. An Allocation of water at an advantageous rate, to be sold ar brokered by the Gounty, is an example of a possible in-kind resource. d. Under #6, allow the possibility of community alternative treatment and disposal systems and public sewer se=`vices in the watershed. These alternatives should only be allowed after the following is accomplished: (1) Tne Orange County Health Department's inspections and maintenance program for community alternative systems is in place, with the estimated date of implementation being no later than July 1, 1990; and (2) the advisability of makint public sewer service in the watershed should be determined in tandem with the recommendation that OW9SA study the advisability or waterline ertensiors in the wale-shed as found in paragrath #7 of the prouosed watershed agreement. e.
