Attachment 3 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />tc� I <br />Department of Environment, <br />Agriculture, Parks & Recreation <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor <br />FROM: Rich Shaw, DEAPR Land Conservation Manager <br />DATE: January 16, 2013 <br />SUBJECT: CFE Consideration of Proposed UDO Amendment Requiring <br />Stormwater Manaaement Plan with the Site Plan Application <br />Thank you for attending the January 14 meeting of the Commission for the <br />Environment (CFE) to explain proposed changes to the Unified Development <br />Ordinance (UDO) that would require submittal of formal site plans and stormwater <br />management plans for residential and non - residential development projects. <br />CFE members were interested to learn more about the County's existing regulations <br />that were recently modified (April 2012) to address the State - mandated stormwater <br />management and nutrient reduction strategies. They now understand the County <br />requires the preparation and submittal of engineered stormwater management plans <br />as part of development projects where land disturbance reaches certain thresholds. <br />You explained the proposed amendments would require that the stormwater <br />management plan be submitted along with the formal site plan, thereby improving the <br />coordinated review of the project by departments and avoiding some of the time and <br />expense of having to modify the site plan at a later date. <br />The CFE expressed its appreciation for your briefing and your responses to <br />questions. There were no adverse reactions or issues raised by CFE members. <br />Again, thank you for efforts to involve the CFE in the consideration of this proposed <br />amendment to the UDO. <br />cc: David Neal, CFE Chair <br />Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks & Recreation <br />PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Phone: (919) 245 -2510 Fax: (919) 644 -3351 <br />19 <br />
