{ n7 - ee MEMORANDUM To: W. Calvin Morton, Town Manager From: Roger Waldon, Planning Directo Subject: Proposed Amendment to Orange County Water/Sewer-Policy and Development Regulations Date: July 17, 1991 Orange County is proposing an amendment to existing policies and regulations on providing water and sewer in the Rural Buffer. The amendment would allow OWASA to fulfill a 1983 recorded agreement in which a property owner gave OWASA lend for a pump station in exchange for the right to have five water and sewer taps . The property is located in the Rural Buffer, adjacent to the Rangewood subdivision off N.C. 54 (see map attached) . The amendment would recognize agreements which existed before the date of the adoption of the Water and Sewer Policy, April 3 , 1989 . The agreements are limited to those in which a municipality, the County or a water/sewer authority are a party. A copy of the proposal is attached. The County will hold a public hearing on August 5th. We understand from OWASA and the County that no other pre-existing agreements are known. OWASA staff has had input into developing the language and we understand that OWASA will be comfortable with the language . Our staff comment to the County is that this amendment appears to be a narrow change to accommodate a specific situation. The location of the property is next to a subdivision now served by water and sewer, so the proposal has few impacts on possible future extensions elsewhere in the Rural Buffer. The amendment could be drawn more narrowly by applying it only to a water and sewer authority, rather than also including Orange County and municipalities. However, we understand the County desires to have the language cover any future (now unknown) agreements which may come to light. Under Section 2 . 6B of the 'Joint Planning Agreement, the County may change its zoning and subdivision ordinances in accordance with its own procedures .
