• <br /> 1" 022 <br /> • <br /> Dr. Donald Ali lhoit <br /> December 2, 1985 <br /> ?age Two <br /> Zoning Ordinance_ Article 6 (Dimensional $e ,remeats): <br /> we understand the intent of the proposal to allow impervious surface limits to <br /> be net through off-site measures. However, provisions should be made to assure <br /> that a proper balance be maintained throughout all areas of the wa tershed. It <br /> wad not be appropriate to allow more intense development in one sub-basin <br /> while receiving all "trades-offs" from another s jb basin, as this could lead to <br /> water quality degradation. <br /> Consideration should be given to limiting `transfer" opportunities only to <br /> existing developments. Also, off-site transfers should be required to be within <br /> the same sub-basin and preferably from an adjoining property. It most be <br /> clearly stated that the trade-off property must be permanently maintained with <br /> an established vegetative cover for enhancement of storasa,ter absorption and <br /> that the east to this effect most be recorded prior to issuance of the <br /> building permit. <br /> Zoning Ordinance: Article 8: <br /> The adoption of the "off-site" impervious surface limit transfer proposal could <br /> p14i43ate. the need to allow variances from the impervious surface limitations <br /> through the special use permit process. If the special use permit approach is <br /> taken, adequate measures for plan review, inspection and monitoring of on-site <br /> water quality protection measures must be in place. <br /> There is concern that the cumulative effect of the recently approved impervious <br /> surface limits and these proposed revisions under consideration may be to lessen <br /> the overall strength and effectiveness of Orange County's water supply <br /> protection program, which has been cited as a mode]. for the State of North <br /> Carolina. Relaaatioa of these development standards may set a precedent for <br /> similar -revisions in the future. It is hoped that the adoption of measures <br /> which effectively increase development potential within these environmentally <br /> sensitive watersheds ill. be counter-balanced with the adoption of additional <br /> water supply protection measures- <br /> Thank you very much for your consideration of these comments. The Orange County <br /> Board of Commissioners' continuing concern for protection of public drinking <br /> water supply sources is appreciated. <br /> qe y yours, <br /> if <br /> cr <br /> v tt Billingsley <br /> E ere <br /> Executive Director <br />
