• County's Land Use Plan, the staff is recommending that the two policy 2 recommendations of the Planning Board be approved by the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Hartwell asked that the phrase "established district" be clarified and Collins indicated that "established district" means the same as 10 and 20-year transition areas and the Land Use Plan recognizes that transition areas are either consistent or to be consistent with water and sewer services. Motion was made by Chair Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation to adopt the following two policies: (1) That Orange County immediately establish as a matter of policy that it will not approve any development project to be supplied with water and/or sewer unless located in a water/sewer service district incorporated into the Land Use Plan and appropriate ordinances, following public hearing and citizen comment. (2) That, except in emergency situations, Orange County neither fund nor support extensions of public or private water/sewer services outside service areas adopted as part of the Land Use Plan. Furthermore, where county funds are used, in whole or in part, to finance extensions of such services, it shall retain some authority to determine the disposition of utility services provided. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 8. PROPOSED WATER/SEWER POLICY Marvin Collins presented for consideration a proposed water and sewer policy for Orange County.
