SEP-09-1994 09:46 FROM ORANGE CTY COMMISSIONERS TO PLANNING P.06/07 <br /> 7 <br /> 1 Commissioner Willhoit requested that staff consider this request in terms of <br /> 2 the principals for sustainable communities. Construction rubble being buried, <br /> 3 rather than reused, is worrisome. EPA prarotes the reuse of construction <br /> 4 materials. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Clint Burklin requested information contrasting Orange County's and the <br /> 7 Federal Government's erosion control programs. Ms. Willis indicated that she was <br /> 8 not familiar with the-differences, but the staff person in charge of Orange <br /> 9 County's erosion control program could came to a Planning Board meeting and report <br /> 10 an this program. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Commissioner Gordon asked how the reclamation could be enforced if this was <br /> 13 a use by right? <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Ms. Willis indicated that if the borrow pit was not reclaimed, it would no <br /> 16 longer be a use by right and would require a Special Use Permit. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 John Link stated that the. County has no authority where D.Q.T. pursues the <br /> 19 borrow pit process through their own right of way. This proposal would allow <br /> 20 D.O.T. to save the tax dollars necessary to purchase the right-of-way if they <br /> 21 agree to reclaim the land. If they do not follow through with the reclamation, <br /> 22 the county could delete this provision. D.O.T. would then be required to purchase <br /> 23 the property. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner <br /> 26 Halkiotis, to refer this item to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be <br /> 27 returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than October 5, 1994. <br /> 28 VO'L'E: t7NANII4WS <br /> 29 <br /> 30 4.
