18 <br />"Public" -Usually the immediate next step with all regulatory aspects of a <br />comprehensive plan is to presume the county will implement goals of the plan and make <br />them into laws. The plan covers unincorporated areas, but there are also areas where they <br />are tied together -transportation, development, sewage, what are. you doing to <br />incorporate the other jurisdictions? Are you getting input from other planning boards? <br />Mr. Alfieri -Intergovernmental coordination is found in each element. Land-area wise <br />we are only speaking of Orange County's planning jurisdiction. However, several of the <br />County's facilities and services cross jurisdictional boundaries. Plan implementation, <br />which will occur in phases, will require additional intergovernmental coordination, public <br />input, and public hearings. <br />"Public" -What is the status of the 7 mile creek watershed? <br />Mr. Alfieri - We are not~making map changes as part of the process. A number of <br />objectives may lead to map changes. During the break-out session, I can share the <br />specific objectives that may relate to your question regarding the 7-Mile Creek <br />Watershed Critical Area. <br />"Public" -What is the time table for implementation? <br />Mr. Altieri -This will be a long term process and implementation will be incremental. <br />There are general timetables for each objective in the Plan. <br />"Public" -There is a consultant for the Buckhorn sewer area. Is that going to be included <br />in this document? <br />Mr. Benedict - We would not put an ongoing project in the plan at this stage. If we <br />update the plan, the first incremental tier of amendments will start adding things that may <br />affect the plan. This plan and small area plans have been ongoing and the first run of <br />zoning map amendments will be to implement that micro scale of the work that has been <br />done over the last three years. <br />Small Groups Session: <br />Attendees broke into small groups. Each table represented a different element of the plan <br />and people could visit a table tended by a staff member. Although there was considerable <br />dialogue at the tables, only a few specific public comments relating to the contents of the <br />draft Plan were documented. <br />Natural and Cultural Systems Table: <br />"Public" -Suggests that there be an executive summary of the document made available <br />to the public. <br />Parks and Recreation Table: <br />
