The Planning Board recommended that the following <br /> wording be added to the first sentence in the first paragraph of Section <br /> IV-B-1. <br /> "The minimum lot size shall be as required by the Orange County <br /> Land Use Plan, Orange County Zoning Ordinance or the Hillsborough Zoning <br /> Ordinance, whichever is applicable. " <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> 3 . ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - TELEPHONE EXCHANGES <br /> A proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was presented. The <br /> text amendment would establish a minimum lot size requirement for <br /> telephone exchange facilities (without offices) , subscriber loop huts, <br /> pressure regulator stations, and water and sewer pump stations in all <br /> zoning districts. The Planning Board recommended to add to Article <br /> 6. 16. 12, subsection d) "The minimum required lot area for such uses shall <br /> be 5, 000 square feet. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> 4 . WALKER'S LANDING II - PRELIMINARY <br /> Planner Greg Szymik presented the Preliminary Plan for Walker's <br /> Landing II. The property is located in Cedar Grove Township on SR 1383 <br /> (Eno Cemetery Road) . Nine lots are proposed out of a 24.53 acre tract. <br /> The tract is designated as Agricultural Residential and Water Supply <br /> Watershed on the Land Use Plan. The Planning Board recommended approval <br /> subject to the condition that all property lines below the 620 elevation <br /> must be removed and the property designated as Lake Orange Inc. <br /> Alois Callemyn, surveyor for the developer, asked that the <br /> property line be left at the 615 elevation. He stated that by approving <br /> the Planning Board recommendation the County would be setting property <br /> lines. <br /> County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill indicated that the problem with <br /> using the 615 elevation is that it encroaches on the land owned by the <br /> County and it would not be in the County' s best interest to approve a <br /> subdivision that sets lot lines that encroach on County property. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. <br /> Bobby Nichols of Lake Orange Inc. stated that the land between the <br /> 615 and 620 elevation has never been deeded to the County. The County has <br /> a temporary flood easement for that land between the 615 and 620 <br /> elevation. He expressed his desire for the property owner to have control <br /> of the land between the water and the adjacent lot. He asked that the <br /> title be warranted to the 620 ' elevation but deeded to the 615 ' elevation. <br />
