AMBERLY HEARING PAGE 6 <br /> ( As a minimum, it should be a condition of the CUP that <br /> violations of the covenants will be violations of the CUP. <br /> After all , the Aldermen have a covenant with the people , <br /> too. <br /> --The Bottom Line. <br /> How much degradation of our water supply will we allow? <br /> Given the increasing demand for good water , I don' t think we <br /> should tolerate any. <br /> --the quality of our water is directly related to the <br /> amount of development in the watershed; <br /> --new federal drinking water standards (and increased <br /> public concern) require more attention water quality; <br /> --Carrboro is blessed with a safe water supply, unusually <br /> good even for the immediately surrounding area, which <br /> it would be foolish to destroy; <br /> --it is inappropriate to permit major development in the <br /> watershed shared by Chapel Hill and Orange County and <br /> entrusted to Carrboro for safe keeping; <br /> --it is an affront to approve development during the <br /> recently approved study of the carrying capacity of the <br /> watershed. <br /> --serious questions raised by the Orange County Planning <br /> Board in its March 12th letter remain unanswered; that <br /> Board recently voted not to recommend Amberly. <br /> Amberly is no more appropriate now than it was in <br /> April . Protection of our drinking water is a long-term, <br /> continuing enterprise . Amberly should not be approved. <br /> Thank you very much . <br /> Rev . 8/6 <br />
