2 <br /> This matter was presented for public hearing on May 24, 1993. The <br /> applicant was the only person to speak on the item. The Board of <br /> Commissioners requested more information on the chronology of events <br /> concerning this request. This information is attached, along with three <br /> memoranda related to the chronology of events. <br /> The Planning Board considered the amendment at its June 21 meeting, <br /> and recommended approval of the amendment by a vote of 8-1 (please see <br /> attached minutes). <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed plan <br /> amendment, in accord with the Planning Board's recommendation. <br /> The County Engineer's concerns about the sewer system design expressed <br /> in his memo of September 16, 1992 are still valid. There are questions <br /> about the size of the lines and the lack of manholes in the project. <br /> However, the plan amendment involves consideration at conceptual level <br /> of whether the area should be designated Twenty-Year Transition in the <br /> Plan based on the criteria for this classification. Approval of the plan <br /> amendment to Twenty-Year Transition does not automatically convey <br /> rezoning and the addition of new mobile home lots. The subsequent <br /> rezoning petition will involve a more detailed review of the site, and it is <br /> at this level that the County Engineer's concerns might best be addressed. <br />
