050 <br /> Synopsis of Comments <br /> Goal 2 - Sewage Disposal <br /> Provide adequate and appropriate sewage disposal facilities for <br /> all current and future residents. <br /> B. Alternative System Policies (Draft Policy) <br /> (See Preceding Page) <br /> Town of Carrboro <br /> 2. Sewaoe Disposal <br /> There is inconsistency in this section of the document , <br /> especially in the portions of the section that address <br /> alternative treatment systems. In one sentence, the County is <br /> stating that alternatives to traditional septic systems should be <br /> facilitated on land unsuitable for septic tanks and not served by <br /> public water and sewer; in the next sentence, the County states <br /> that the use of private community treatment systems should be <br /> discouraged throughout the County. <br /> In framing a policy on alternative systems, attention should <br /> be given to several important points . First , the use of <br /> alternative treatment systems facilitates development at greater <br /> densities than would otherwise be possible, and also permits <br /> development of environmentally sensitive lands which otherwise <br /> would not be developable. The County should consider whether it <br /> wants to encourage the development of such lands and how that <br /> development should take place. Finally, encouraging development <br /> of alternative systems (so-called "package plants" ) could <br /> encourage urban sprawl, which runs counter to the County's policy <br /> of directing growth towards the Urban Services Areas adjacent to <br /> existing municipalities . On the other hand, creative use of <br /> clustering and dedication of open space could create villages <br /> surrounded by protected rural open space. - <br /> If the County does mean to encourage the use of alternative <br /> treatment systems, some consideration should be <br /> establishing a centralized monitoring and inspection given to <br /> keeping track of the program for <br /> performance of such systems. <br /> 2-B-4 <br />
