Qnce <br />this ordinance is approved by the Poard,....it becomes law.....and we'd appreciate your <br />consideration in making it a meaningful law far the rural community. <br />~peake~ 3A was~ewate~ T~ea~~e~~ Sys~e~s ~ochael ~~ghes} <br />There have been changes to the definition of wastewater treatment systems -- <br />which we were told includes new commercial septic systems in the rural areas -~ <br />something that we believe will help rural businesses like Fiesta Grill. The language is <br />pretty broad and includes "systems that discharge effluent to surface waters and, other <br />systems that maybe permitted by the county health department or the state". <br />That covers a lot more than commercial septic systems in the rural areas--and <br />with conditional districts that can float anywhere in the county, these systems further <br />enable applications that may be incompatible. <br />we believe that this type of change could be a good idea but it belongs in Phase <br />Z so that it can be properly researched and discussed in the context of Small Area Pions <br />and Conditional zoning for Agricultural Support Enterprises. <br />Delaying this change should have no impact on the EDDs which have water and sewer. <br />Please reinstate the vld definitions of wastewater treatment systems anti[ they can be <br />more fully discussed in Phase 2. <br />Speaker 4~ Chapel Nill ~~peraence ~~~th C®~ditl~na~ ~ist~icts ~~ulae hcClintackg <br />Nedghb~~s fir Respcnslble Gr®w~h} <br />Neighbors for Responsible Growth <br />February ~S, .~0~1 <br />Grange County Commissioners <br />Neighbors for Responsible Growth appreciates the County staff making themselves <br />available for a presentation on the proposed Unified Development Qrdinance a few <br />weeks ago.
