However, the only new evidence submitted was <br /> information which clarified the ownership, operation, <br /> and maintenance of the proposed wastewater disposal <br /> system. The layout and design of the proposed resi- <br /> dential planned development remained the same. <br /> The public hearing was continued to the June 28 Board <br /> of Commissioners meeting to allow time for the <br /> Planning Staff and the County Engineer to meet with <br /> the applicant, and obtain additional information on the <br /> adequacy of the proposed system for wastewater <br /> disposal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Planned <br /> Development/Special Use application for McLennan's <br /> Farm with the following conditions: <br /> 1.

The amount shall be determined <br /> on the basis of fully executed construction <br /> contracts or certification by a registered <br /> engineer employed by the grantee of this Special <br /> Use Permit. As improvements are completed a <br /> corresponding amount of money may be released from <br /> the security instruments or the security <br /> instruments may be re-negotiated based on the "yet <br /> to do" portion of the improvements. <br /> 2. The plans and specifications for the design and <br /> construction of the system for wastewater disposal <br /> shall be approved by Orange County and the Orange <br /> County Health Department. <br /> 3.
