42. <br /> 21 <br /> they are really minor. We are seeking to get your <br /> • comments tonight, take it to the Commissioners <br /> Wednesday night and get their comments and then we <br /> are going to go through one more revision and bring <br /> it back to the Commissioners on the 21 for a <br /> decision. If you want to provide a comment to the <br /> effect to use 'shall' we will be glad to <br /> incorporated that with all the others. " <br /> Jacobs responded "So this is the last opportunity <br /> for the Planning Board to see this before the <br /> Commissioners make a decision. " Collins responded <br /> yes. Jacobs said "Yes, I think that, at least for <br /> me, I'd like that brought to their attention. It <br /> seems to me, 1 understand and I can agree with <br /> everything you said, I think it is important to <br /> build in flexibility but despite our best <br /> intentions, we have no guarantees that we will get <br /> the ordinances in place, nor do we know that future <br /> Commissioners will take the time to think about <br /> making extensions consistent with the plan. I think <br /> that requiring them to do so will, at least, make <br /> certain that there is sufficient forethought built <br /> in so that the concerns that originally brought this <br /> to our attention will be addressed. <br /> Pilkey asked about the Town of Hillsborough's <br /> comments. Collins responded that they expressed <br /> concern about the concept of limiting public water <br /> and sewer to transition areas and if extensions are <br /> allowed, particularly in the Rural Buffer or WQCA's <br /> the limitation of size. They felt it should be <br /> consistent with the line size of the utility <br /> provider and felt that the County was indeed trying <br /> to get into the water/sewer business. He noted that <br /> a lot of the issues raised by the Town of <br /> Hillsborough involved on-going issues such as the <br /> reservoir and reservoir site rather than the <br /> Water/Sewer Policy. <br /> Yuhasz asked .'"If you were going to run a line into a <br /> WQCA, would you limit the size at the border of that <br /> district or would you size it for possible future <br /> use up to the border of WQCA and then limit beyond <br /> that or would you limit the entire run of the line? <br /> How would this policy address that?" Collins <br /> responded, "the school site is probably the best <br /> example. If you ran a line down NC 86, that line <br /> could be sized according to the utility provider's <br /> standards up to the Rural Buffer; once inside, it <br /> would have to be sized only to meet the need. There <br /> is a policy issue that needs to be resolved. The <br /> Efland project can be used as an example where we <br /> were going into the WQCA to correct a situation and <br />
