49 <br /> Marvin Collins presented for consideration of approval a deed <br /> to dedicate the septic system easement which is necessary before the <br /> Connery's Minor Subdivision can be approved. Only Lot #2 of this <br /> property has suitable soil for a septic system. A document is needed to <br /> allow the use of lot #1 and to build a septic system on Lot #2 . <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Marshall to approve, subject to recommendations of the <br /> County Attorney and Planning Department, the deed to dedicate the septic <br /> system easement and authorize the Chair to sign. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> 5. EFLAND SEWER PROJECT-LAND USE POLICY IMPLICATIONS <br /> Marvin Collins indicated the purpose of this item is for the <br /> Board to review the Planning Board position with regard to land use <br /> policy implications as related to alternatives A, B, and C plus the base <br /> bid for the proposed Efland Sewer project. <br /> Planning Board Chair Barry Jacobs stated that by unanimous <br /> vote the Planning Board recommends the base bid plus alternative "A". <br /> The reasons for the decision are related to the protection of the Seven <br /> Mile Creek reservoir and an attempt to remain consistent with the land <br /> use plan for that area which directs the growth to the north and to the <br /> west. <br /> Marvin Collins pointed out on a map the area that would be <br /> covered by the base bid and alternative "A" . The base bid addresses the <br /> concerns of the failing septic systems in Efland Estates and alternative <br /> "A" would include replacement of the failing package plant at the Efland <br /> School. <br /> Don Cordell, PE, reviewed the three alternatives. He pointed <br /> out that if alternative "B" is at some point added in the future that <br /> all the same objectives could be accomplished with one pump station <br /> whereas if you don't do "B" you must have two pump stations. <br /> In answer to a question from Commissioner Marshall about <br /> alternative "C", Barry Jacobs explained that alternative "C" was not <br /> chosen because it would open up more of the water critical area and more <br /> of the 20-year transitional areas to development. <br /> Chair Willhoit suggested referring this recommendation back to <br /> the Planning Board to consider the issue dealing with the commitment to <br /> the 191 people. He asked that the Planning Board Committee address this <br /> issue. Based on the preliminary cost estimates, alternative B would not <br /> be feasible but possibly base plus A plus some of C could be <br /> accomplished. <br /> It was the consensus of the Board to request that the Planning <br /> Board committee consider previous comments and concerns that have been <br /> made and to meet with Mr. Cordell to review the plans and the commitment <br /> to the 191. <br /> Ken Thompson presented for the Board's information a letter <br /> dated February 18, 1986 from Hazen and Sawyer, P.E. which indicated the <br /> section of line immediately north of King Street to the manhole south of <br /> Eno Street is currently overloaded and cannot take any additional flow <br /> from the proposed Efland sewer system. <br /> 6. SCHOOL FUND BALANCE POLICY <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Marshall to approve the School Fund Balance Policy as <br /> stated below and to include in the policy that the School Boards will <br /> return to the Board of Commissioners for any appropriations of fund <br /> balance available but unappropriated: <br /> "ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS begin each fiscal year, to the extent <br />
