24 <br /> Approved 1/4/2017 <br /> 266 Paul Guthrie: So what we're talking about here would be totally controlled by State and Federal Law... That could <br /> 267 become a problem.So I just plant that seed. <br /> 268 <br /> 269 Michael Harvey: Understood. But with all due respect if we did nothing it would still be a problem. If we never came <br /> 270 up with this amendment we're still looking at the problem. <br /> 271 <br /> 272 Paul Guthrie:Well I think there's a solution outside of that. If a surrounding or neighboring piece of property felt that it <br /> 273 was being harmed by those discharges then there could be private action. <br /> 274 <br /> 275 Michael Harvey: They can be now, in fact, there has been. In the 12 years I've been here there's been 1 park that <br /> 276 seems to get... <br /> 277 <br /> 278 Paul Guthrie: Because I have a feeling that we're going to see some significant changes attempted on a clean water <br /> 279 act,for example. <br /> 280 <br /> 281 Maxecine Mitchell: I have one more question. I take it there's no RV parks in Orange County? <br /> 282 <br /> 283 Patrick Mallett: Legally, no. <br /> 284 <br /> 285 Alan Clapp:There is one just across the line in Alamance County, but not in Orange. <br /> 286 <br /> 287 Maxecine Mitchell: Ok. I was just wondering if this is the first time we're dealing with RVs. The one I found was on <br /> 288 Jones Road and I've seen people park their RV there but I don't know how long. <br /> 289 <br /> 290 Alan Clapp: That's the one. That's called a park model. So they leave those there. They hook their bathrooms to the <br /> 291 septic system but they have a bathhouse where you have to go and take a shower. <br /> 292 <br /> 293 Maxecine Mitchell: Ok.And they're regulation is based on the County it's in? <br /> 294 <br /> 295 Alan Clapp:Yes. So, in Alamance that's fine. Here, the Health Department could permit that the same way but they'd <br /> 296 also have to meet planning regulations. <br /> 297 <br /> 298 MOTION by Kim Piracci to approve statement of consistency in attachment 3 and to approve the proposed <br /> 299 amendments in attachment 4.Seconded by Patricia Roberts. <br /> 300 VOTE: 7-1 (MAXECINE MITCHELL OPPOSED) <br /> 301 <br /> 302 Maxecine explained she had some reservations about whether it's a good idea. <br /> 6 <br />
