2Ut SUMMARY OF LITTLE RIVER TOWNSHIP ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN CALDWELL ON JUNE 3, 1987 ATTENDANCE TAC MEMBERS: Steve Berry, Vice Chair Calvin Davis Frank Ferrell Tim McAller Sharon Whitmore Deanna Smith Karen Barrows Brad Walker PLANNING BOARD: Chris Best PLANNING STAFF : Gene Bell OTHERS: Barry Stakely The meeting was called to formulate a recommendation to the Planning Board on the DRAFT Little River Township Land Use Plan following the Public Hearing on June 1 , 1987 . A quorum was established at 7 :45 and the meeting began. Bell began by handing out copies of the statement presented at the public hearing by Mr. Tom Bruce of the Durham Water Resources Department. Chris Best stated that Durham was requesting that Orange County look at the Little River watershed as a protected area. A question was raised as to what watershed protection measures were currently in effect in Durham County. Bell presented a map which depicted Orange County, Durham County, the Little River watershed, and the portions of the watershed covered by the Durham County Zoning Ordinance. He briefly pointed out the Water Quality Critical Area adjacent to the reservoir which has a minimum residen- tial lot size of 80,000 square feet and then referenced the remainder of the watershed basin wherein the minimum lot size is 40,000 square feet. The basin area separates the Water Quality Critical Area from the Orange County line. Bell stated that lot size requirements in Little River were identical to those adjacent to the County line in Durham. He did, however, state that there was a prohibition on certain land uses in Durham County imposed by zoning that did not carry over into Orange County. He said that overall , the Durham County watershed standards were almost identical to the Orange County standards for the University Lake, Cane Creek, and Upper Eno Watersheds.
