The proposed amendment addresses, primarily, <br /> watershed protection in the Township. <br /> BACKGROUND: When the Orange County Land Use Plan was adopted in 1981, a <br /> five year update schedule was specified by the County <br /> Commissioners. In accordance with this schedule, work was <br /> begun on updating the Little River Township Plan in the <br /> spring of 1986 . As the work on Little River was nearing <br /> completion in May 1987, data collection and analysis was <br /> begun for Cedar Grove Township. <br /> The plan update process for Cedar Grove began officially on <br /> July 21 at a TAC meeting wherein the plan update strategy <br /> was presented. This was followed by a public information <br /> meeting on August 11 to present background data and <br /> distribute a questionnaire, a meeting on October 6 to <br /> discuss alternative plans, and a final meeting on October 27 <br /> to present the Draft Plan. <br /> With one major exception, the Draft Plan does not differ <br /> substantially from the 1981 Plan. The major change is the <br /> designation of additional water supply watersheds in the <br /> Township, in particular, the Back Creek and Little River <br /> drainage basins. This increases from 28.5% to 88%, the <br /> amount of township land area designated water supply <br /> watershed. Township activity nodes and the designation of <br /> the entire township as Agricultural-Residential are <br /> unchanged from 1981. <br />
