Art Milligan said that he just moved into Efland a year ago and received this notification letter last week. He said that the 200%jump in rates is out of the question for anyone, especially in an 18-month period of time. He is dissatisfied with the plan to try to adjust to the problem in front of the County. Annie Whitted asked who would pay for the school sewer system if it failed. Chair Jacobs asked if the school pays for sewer and Kevin Lindley said yes, the same rates. Chair Jacobs asked Kevin Lindley to update the County Commissioners on the plan. Kevin Lindley said that the plan is with the State now. He said that it would probably be 2010 before it is available for service. Chair Jacobs asked about the fee paid to Hillsborough and it was answered that the County pays 70% of the out-of-town rate, so the County pays more than in-town customers, but less than out-of-town customers. Chair Jacobs asked about the next steps for the rate setting and Kevin Lindley said that he is planning on bringing this back at the December 11th meeting to be able to implement the rate increase in January. Chair Jacobs said that written comments will be included as well. Kevin Lindley said that one customer called him and could not attend this meeting and she expressed concern over the rates. 2. Eno EDD (Economic Development District) Area Small Area Plan - Revise definition of "Eno Mixed Use" proposed land use category. Perdita Holtz introduced the new Special Projects Planner, Shannon Berry. Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan (SAP) Proposed Mixed Use Land Use Category Eno Mixed Use Current Definition: Land located in areas served or to be served by public water and sewer where a mix of residential, commercial, office, services, and light industrial uses are appropriate. Residential uses within Mixed Use areas should have a minimum density of six (6) units per acre. Examples of housing at this density include attached homes, patio homes, and apartments. Note: prior to adoption of implementation measures, a percentage or acreage limit on residential uses within the Mixed Use area should be determined. It is the intent to limit the amount of residential uses in the Mixed Use area to encourage the development of non- residential uses. Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan •Total planning area: 942 acres •Mixed Use area: 297 acres (excluding rights-of-way) •Recommended residential land area: 25% of mixed use area = 74.25 acres Whispering Pines SF res.= 54 acres Area for additional residential = 20.25 acres plus New residential units constructed above non-residential uses shall not count toward 25% acreage limit S:\Minutes\20091124QPH.doc
