NC <br /> 732-6262 <br /> October 8, 1993 <br /> Orange County Planning Board <br /> Orange County Commissioners <br /> do Mary Willis <br /> Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Commissioners and Planners: <br /> I have recently been made aware of the proposal to prohibit <br /> designated water supply watersheds in septic field easements within <br /> Orange County. I believe this will put an <br /> unnecessary burden on the county's landowners. <br /> supplies regulation of the physical location of a septic system with respect to designated water <br /> u <br /> Pplies and their tributaries is an appropriate method of protecting water quality. The <br /> physical location of a septic system with respect to an arbitrary <br /> equivalent(or even discernible) effect on water quality. Thly effect of dis-allowing <br /> septic system easements would be to decrease the density of development below the level <br /> which has already been suggested for adoption. If lesser densities are desired, they should <br /> be placed on the watershed as a whole, not exclusively on those landowners whose land <br /> has only concentrated areas of suitable soil. <br /> In fairness to all county residents, I urge you to reject the proposal to prohibit septic field <br /> easements. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Steve F.
