Findings of Fact Worksheet PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the BOCC on a Class A Special Use Permit (hereafter `SUP') application submitted by David Weekly Homes LLC proposing a 26 lot single-family residential development off of Mt Sinai Road in accordance with the provisions of Section(s) 2.7 and 5.15.6 of the Unified Development Ordinance(hereafter'U DO'). BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing. Materials from the public hearing can be found using the following link: hftp://orangecountync.gov/OCCLERKS/120827.htm Public Hearing: During the hearing, the following comments/questions were posed concerning the application: • An adjoining property owner expressed concern over the proposed community well and potential impacts on adjacent property owners. A BOCC member expanded on this comment and expressed concern over well recharge rates in the area and inquired about the anticipated completion of a comprehensive ground water study for the County. Staff Comment: There is no evidence in the record indicating the proposed community well will impact adjacent wells or have any greater impact than 26 individual wells located on each proposed parcel. The development of the community well would be in accordance with applicable State regulations. Orange County Environmental Health will only issue a well permit, authorizing development of the aforementioned well, once a copy of the State's approval is received. According to Mr. Tom Davis, of Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks, and Recreation (DEAPR) there is a groundwater observation well located near Millhouse Road that is included in the County's Orange Well Net (OWN) groundwater observation well network. The primary use of the well network is drought monitoring.
