i <br /> 20 <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins <br /> August 1, 1991 <br /> Page 3 <br /> indirectly. The expanded storage reservoir will provide <br /> additional high quality water for the community at little capital <br /> cost to the public. <br /> By using a mutually beneficial public/private easement to <br /> transform a business enterprise into a public water supply <br /> reservoir, the proposal advances Goal Number One of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan: "To conserve the County's natural environment <br /> through means which are equitable to all citizens of Orange <br /> County. " <br /> Special Conditions Making the Proposal Reasonably Necessary <br /> 1. The scarcity of suitable sources of high quality water to <br /> serve the growing needs of southern Orange County. <br /> 2. The availability of stone at a site conveniently located for <br /> public and private construction projects in southern Orange <br /> County. <br /> 3 . The provision of hot mix asphalt within reasonable hauling <br /> distance of the local market area. <br /> Summary <br /> This unique combination of circumstances, in which economic <br /> development and natural resource goals are mutually reinforcing, <br /> is a "win-win" opportunity with substantial benefits for the <br /> applicants and the community at large. Further documentation <br /> will demonstrate that economic and environmental costs to the <br /> community will be negligible. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> American Stone Company <br /> Orange Water and Sewer Authority <br /> By: <br /> l <br /> Pb,ilil3r,turha m <br /> Alice Durham <br />
