t <br /> 38 <br /> DRAFT <br /> Price asked about the load from the septic for such a large subdivision on the <br /> groundwater supply. Stancil responded that each site would be evaluated by the <br /> Environmental Health Department. Price expressed concern with the density. It <br /> was noted that there are 281 units over 595 acres. Stancil continued that the <br /> work with the Water Resources Committee has found that there are not a lot of <br /> water quality problems in Orange County. Mr.Mitchell noted that two wells <br /> have been drilled which yield 60 and 35 gallons per minute. This is twice the <br /> yield required by the State. <br /> Strayhorn asked the depth of the wells and the response was 300-500 feet. <br /> Brown asked about holding tanks. Mr.Mitchell responded that there will be a <br /> 10,000 gallon holding tank in the first phase. Brown asked if Mitchell had the <br /> complete water plan for the entire project and the response was no but it would <br /> not take a great deal to develop the entire plan. The wells will be scattered and <br /> inter-connected. There should be the ability to tap on to a public supply. <br /> MOTION: Brooks moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by <br /> Hoecke. <br /> VOTE: 7 in favor. <br /> 3 opposed(Brown-specifically wants a complete understanding of the utilities <br /> in the project and to have impact statement updated and accurate in terms of its <br /> traffic and school projection figures. Katz-concerned with impact analysis.On <br /> projects of this scale we need to be working with a longer term. Price- <br /> concurred with both Brown and Katz.) <br /> AGENDA ITEM#9: MATTERS HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING 8/26/96 <br /> a. Zoning Atlas Amendments <br />
