These parcels were affected by the adjustment of the county line which <br />became effective on January 1, 2012.This item was heard at the May 29, 2012quarterly <br />public hearing. <br />Presenter: Glenn Bowles, Planner II <br />Glenn Bowles: Reviewed abstract and attachments. <br />Larry Wright: I have a question,several years ago we received notice that there were changes in the FEMA <br />floodplains. Wouldn’t these landowners have gotten it then, is this because of the change to the county line? <br />Glenn Bowles: The county line complicates things a bit so we had to re-notify them. <br />Michael Harvey: There was a decision made by the former legal counsel for the County that as the flood plain <br />regulations existed externally to the zoning regulations and because it limited the use of property it was determined <br />that the flood regulations technically were defacto zoning standards and required that we incorporate those <br />regulations in our zoning text and take the 100 year flood plain boundary and incorporate them on the zoning atlas so <br />people would understand what the limitations of property would be. We are just formalizing the location of this <br />overlay district due to the change in the Orange-Alamance County Line to be consistent with current policy. <br />Rachel Hawkins: So they can’t do anything with this land? <br />Glenn Bowles:They can graze their cattle… <br />Rachel Hawkins: They just can’t develop. <br />Glenn Bowles: A structure <br /> <br />
