DT <br /> Shanklin stated the Water Task Fort.? Report shcul' <br /> go to pblic hearing. Crawford indicated that would <br /> not occur until the Report was incorporated into an <br /> ordinance. Shanklin wanted a public hearing prior to <br /> incorporation, noting certain statements in the Report <br /> as-being opinions, not fact, upon which other con- <br /> clusions were drawn. Crawford stated the Report can <br /> and will, be discussed in terms ofimplementation. <br /> AGENDA ITEM #4: Revised Watershed Zoning Amendment Proposals <br /> Luce distributed the revised Proposed Zoning Amendments. <br /> Polatty noted the following changes in the Proposed <br /> Zoning Amendments: PW-I, applied to urban watersheds <br /> such as McGowan Creek; PW-II, applies to all other <br /> protected watersheds; PW-II b) application criteria: <br /> "This district should be applied to all protected water <br /> supply watersheds designated in the Land Use Plan, <br /> except McGowan Creek r 4.2.27 b) 1, should read as <br /> This district will be applied in all protected water <br /> supply watersheds designated in the Land Use Plan." <br /> DISCUSSION OF THE AMENDMENTS FOLLOWED. <br /> Discussion on 6.23 Extra Requirements for Protected <br /> 411 Watershed Districts (PW-I and PW.II) ensued. 6.23.1 <br /> c) Should read as follows: "Streets and bridges <br /> crossing a buffer area shall enter and exit the area <br /> as nearly perpendicular to it as possible." <br /> Shanklin asked how the buffer is to be calculated, <br /> especially noting the problem of slope. Staff res- <br /> ponded that the recommendation had been changed <br /> earlier, and was not yet clear in this document and <br /> would be similar to the wording in the Task Force <br /> report. <br /> Discussion took place on 6.23.1.5. The Board discussed <br /> the trade-offs between centralized sewer systems and <br /> individual septic systems. Crawford noted the language <br /> in the amendment is prohibitive. <br /> Kizer cited 6.23.2 a) and inquired as to what method <br /> would be used for measuring runoff. Cannity responded <br /> e# that runoff figures are available for different <br /> A, vegetative types. He noted it was primarily an <br /> engineering problem. <br /> Shanklin questioned 6.23,1. Cannity responded indicat- <br /> 410 ing that storage would be required to assure a dis- <br /> charge rate equal to the runoff rate before develop- <br /> ment. Kizer inquired how this would be administered. <br /> cannity responded it would be an engineering exercise. <br /> Lunsford inquired who was responsible for getting the <br /> engineers. Cannity noted that the developer was res- <br /> ponsible for hiring an engineer adding that these <br /> requirements would only apply to new development. <br />
