SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AMENDMENT - SECTION VIII-B AMENDMENT PROCEDURE Greg Szymik presented for consideration a proposed amendment to Section VIII-B of the Subdivision Regulations. This amendment would make the procedure for public notification for public hearings uniform. The proposed amendment to Section VIII-B would require that the first advertisement of a notice of public hearing regarding a proposed ordinance amendment appear in a newspaper not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty-five (25) days prior to the hearing. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commis- sioner Halkiotis to approve the proposed amendment with an effective date of July 6, 1987. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 12. LITTLE RIVER TOWNSHIP LAND USE PLAN Planner Gene Bell presented for consideration a proposed amend- ment to the Little River Township component of the Land Use Plan. The draft plan was presented at public hearing on June 1, 1987. The only comment received was from the City of Durham expressing a concern about watershed protection in portions of the Flat and Little River drainage basins. The Little River TAC recommended approval with three conditions and asked that implementation strategies not be limited solely to zoning. Other possibilities mentioned included programs of the Soil Conservation Service and a Watershed Protection Ordinance. The Orange County Planning Board recommended approval with two conditions. The County Manager recom- mended approval and stipulated further study of the Orange County Speedway as an activity node. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the plan as presented with the exclusion of the Berry's Grove activity node and to direct the staff to perform further study and bring back as a Land Use Plan amendment a recommendation for inclusion of the speedway as an activity node. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 13 . UPDATE METHODOLOGY - LAND USE PLAN TOWNSHIP COMPONENTS Marvin Collins presented for consideration the methodology that is proposed for use in updating the Orange County Land Use Plan. The strategy to be employed is a township-by-township plan update, followed by the County plan update which incorporates the individual township com- ponents. The Work Plan involves ten (10) steps. After extended discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the same methodology that was used in updating the Little River Township Land Use Plan Component be used in updating the components for other townships. 14.
