42 <br /> WHEREAS, the County of Orange and the Town of Hillsborough <br /> have previously and jointly indicated to the Division of �.. <br /> Environmental Management a desire and a determination to seek <br /> additional protection of water quality in the Seven Mile <br /> Creek watershed; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the existing watershed classification for the Seven <br /> Mile Creek basin is WS-III, the classification which would <br /> provide the lowest level of water supply protection; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the existing water quality, waste treatment <br /> discharge status, and local regulatory protection measures <br /> would be sufficient to qualify the Seven Mile Creek watershed <br /> for the protection status of a WS-I Classification, as it is <br /> presently defined, and which is the most protective watershed <br /> classification existing under the current classification <br /> system; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of the County of <br /> Orange is interested in providing the highest level of <br /> protection possible for the Seven Mile Creek watershed; <br /> NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The County of Orange <br /> hereby requests that the Division of Environmental <br /> Management upgrade the classification of the Seven Mile Creek <br /> watershed to a WS-I classification. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> VIII. PUBLIC HEARING <br /> A. Z-2-90 ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT (ELITE AUTO BODY <br /> SHOP) <br /> Planner Emily Crudup explained that this public <br /> hearing is for the purpose of correcting an error in the <br /> Zoning Atlas by shifting the EC-5 district west to its proper <br /> location and out of the right-of-way, and to extend the <br /> district three (3) feet to the north so that the structure <br /> and a proposed addition will meet required setbacks. The <br /> property is located on the north side of Old Greensboro Road <br /> approximately one half mile east of White Cross Road. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR CITIZEN COMMENTS <br /> Mr. Wayne P. Hoffman asked that the EC-5 zoning be <br /> extended to include his business sign so he would not have to <br /> move the sign which has been there since 1978. He contended <br /> that if the sign was moved into the zoned portion, the sign <br /> would not be large enough to be read at a distance. <br /> Victor Tripp spoke in support of this rezoning <br /> request. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded <br /> by Commissioner Marshall to close the public hearing. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br />
