Enclosed is a'staff report describing the improvements which <br /> • are necessary for this 'purpose and the Board of Director's resolution <br /> concerning this matter. ., <br /> ' Of critical importance is the acquisition of a suitable parcel of land for <br /> the prep station. Pump station construction and start—up cannot proceed <br /> until a suitable site is obtained. ONMSA staff has contacted several <br /> individuals which own land in the general area in which the punp station <br /> would need to be located. That area is shown on the enclosed project <br /> location map. Although 'those property owners are concerned about the Tose). <br /> • of Hillsborough's emergency water supply needs, they either do not want to <br /> sell at all or do not want to sell CfilASA the amount of and which is <br /> • needed to wet applicable minimum lot size provisions of the Orange county <br /> Zcanim. prdinance. . - . <br /> • A site of 10,000 square feet or mote would be sufficient for this project. <br /> However, it is MS 's understanding that the Zoning Ordinance <br /> provides that land located on the east side of Old NC 86 canna be <br /> subdivided in parcels less than 40,000 square feet in size and land on the <br /> west side of Old ht 86, which is in the University Lake watershed, cannot <br /> . be subdivided in parcels less than 80,000 square feet in sizer without <br /> either rezoning by the Board of Commissioners or approval of a variance by <br /> the Board of Adjustment. - <br /> - . <br /> . - <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> - ,- -- -, ,_--„-...,---,- ..-,----...3.-..v_-_.,------.--rvy,,,,--x--.s.--,...nwp- . -- --- - ,-..-,--;,,- - --_,.....„ ...,.... <br />
