- • ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 31 306F REVERE ROAD HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 e MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Emily Crudup, ASLA Planner II DATE: April 21, 1989 SUBJECT: PD-4-87 McLennan's Farm Update In October of 1987, Mr. Leon Todd submitted an application (PD-4-87) for a residential Planned Development in the Rural Buffer. The plan for McLennan's Farm included fourteen (14) lots to be served by a community low pressure system for sewage disposal. The application first went to public hearing on November. 23, 1987, and again on January 4, 1988. The public hearing was continued to the Commissioners' meeting on March 1, 1988 to receive the Planning Board's recommendation and comments submitted by Orange Water and Sewer Authority. At the March 1, 1988. meeting, the Commissioners voted to continue the public hearing on McLennan's Farm to June 21, 1988, and to authorize the County Manager to seek an indepen- dent consultant to study the advisability and effectiveness of alternative systems for sewage disposal. Subsequently, the County contracted with Hazen and Sawyer, consulting engineers to prepare the study. The Hazen and Sawyer report was pre- sented to the Commissioners on August 22, 1988. Due to the length of time required to complete the alterna- tive systems study, the McLennan's Farm request was inadvertently left off the June 21 Commissioners agenda. Since the public hearing was not continued to a date certain, the McLennan's Farm application expired. Mr. Todd has submitted a new application for the May 22 public hearing. However, the only new evidence submitted is information which clarifies the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the proposed wastewater disposal system. The layout and design of the proposed planned development remain the same.
