The public hearing on this item was held on November 23, 1987 and on January 4, 1988. The public hearing was continued to this meeting to receive the Planning Board' s recommendation as well as additional evidence submitted by Orange Water and Sewer Authority. BACKGROUND: Although the Planning Board prepared a recommendation concerning the request at its February 9, 1988 meeting, there are many complex issues involving the project. Additional time is desired to permit the County Manager, County Attorney and Planning Director to investigate these issues further. Included among the items to be studied is a recommendation by the Planning Board to the Board of Commissioners that an independent consultant be employed immediately to study the advisability and effectiveness of alternative systems for sewage disposal, particularly in watersheds and other parts of the County. The Planning Board felt that such a study should be undertaken within a reasonable time period - 90 to 120 days. RECOMMENDATION: 1. After consultation with the County Attorney, the Manager recommends that the Public Hearing be continued from this date to June 21, 1988. 2. The Manager will seek an independent consultant to study the advisability and effectiveness of alternative systems for sewage disposal. The Manager is to report on selection of consultant by June 21, 1988.
