19 <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins <br /> August 1, 1991 <br /> Page 2 <br /> to the eastern side of the site so American can expand the active <br /> quarry toward the OWASA reservoir. At the end of the quarry <br /> operation, but no later than 2029, the expanded quarry and an <br /> adjacent buffer will be conveyed automatically by operation of <br /> the contract to OWASA for use as an reservoir with additional <br /> storage capacity of up to three billion gallons- more than five <br /> times the capacity of University Lake. The relocated asphalt <br /> plant would be designed and constructed with sophisticated <br /> environmental safeguards, as specifically recommended by Camp <br /> Dresser and McKee, OWASA's watershed consultant, and consistent <br /> with current environmental standards. <br /> Current Land Use Category <br /> The property is located in the Rural Buffer and University Lake <br /> watershed, and is zoned accordingly. The Joint Planning Area <br /> Land Use Plan designates uses as public/private open space, <br /> resource protection, rural residential and extractive use. <br /> Proposed Land Use Category <br /> Applicants propose that the tract be designated as a Rural <br /> Industrial Activity Node in the Land Use Plan. <br /> Conformity with Purposes of the Comprehensive Plan <br /> The proposed designation would carry out the intent and purposes <br /> of the Land Use Plan by furthering specific goals set out in <br /> section 3 . 5 of the Plan. <br /> For Example, Goal ten ("Clean and safe water supplies available <br /> and adequate to meet future needs of the residents of Orange <br /> County") , would be advanced by providing an expanded reservoir <br /> with the capacity to store up to three billion gallons of excess <br /> Cane Creek water. The site is conveniently located adjacent to <br /> OWASA's raw water transmission main between the Cane Creek <br /> Reservoir and OWASA's water treatment plant. <br /> The fact that this additional capacity can be obtained without <br /> acquiring any new agricultural property is consistent with Goal <br /> Seven ("Continued use of agricultural land and the preservation <br /> of the farming way of life") . <br /> The proposal also promotes Goal Six ("Economic development which <br /> meets local needs while protecting the natural environment") by <br /> continuing a quarry operation that provides additional tax <br /> revenues and employment opportunities, both directly and <br />
