INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8711 -1101 ®2 8 Cedar Grove Township Land Use Plan Update November 6 , 1987 Page 2 Organizing concept 5 addressed protection of the Upper Eno watershed in the 1981 plan . This has been expanded in the draft plan and reads as follows : The Eno River, Back Creek, Little River, and Flat River water supply watersheds should be developed in a manner that will minimize adverse impacts on water quality and not conflict with agricultural uses. The last allocation guideline in the 1981 plan addressed intensive non-farm land uses in the Upper Eno watershed . This has been expanded to include the other watersheds as well and reads as follows : Industrial and high intensity commercial and non- farm residential development will be directed away from areas that, if developed at those intensities, would create negative impacts in the Upper Eno, Back Creek, Little River, or Flat River water supply watersheds. The major change from the 1981 plan is the designation of additional water supply watersheds in the township. The 1981 Plan identified the Upper Eno watershed which is composed of 14,750 acres and accounts for 28 . 5% of township land area . The draft plan designates those portions of the Back Creek, Little River, and Flat River drainage basins in the township as water supply watershed . This increases water supply watershed acreage by 30,750 acres ( 59 . 5% of township land area) and coupled with the Upper Eno totals 45 ,500 acres or 88% of the township. Other differences in the draft plan include those changes ushered in by the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan . These include the designation of resource protection areas, the identification of existing agricultural lands, and identifying arterial and collector roads on the land use plan map. Portions of the plan that have remained unchanged include activity nodes (there are still six) , the Upper Eno Water Supply watershed, and the designation of the entire township as agricultural residential . I hope the foregoing has adequately addressed your questions on the Cedar Grove plan update. Please advise if additional detail is needed.
