023 <br />Mr. Marvin Collins <br />August 1, 1991 <br />Page 3 <br />indirectly. The expanded storage reservoir will provide <br />additional high quality water for the community at little capital <br />cost to the public. <br />By using a mutually beneficial public /private easement to <br />transform a business enterprise into a public water supply <br />reservoir, the proposal advances Goal Number One of the <br />Comprehensive Plan: "To conserve the County's natural environment <br />through means which are equitable to all citizens of Orange <br />County." <br />Special Conditions Making the Proposal Reasonably Necessary <br />1. The scarcity of suitable sources of high quality water to <br />serve the growing needs of southern Orange County. <br />2. The availability of stone at a site conveniently located for <br />public and private construction projects in southern Orange <br />County. <br />3. The provision of hot mix asphalt within reasonable hauling <br />distance of the local market area. <br />Summary <br />This unique combination of circumstances, in which economic <br />development and natural resource goals are mutually reinforcing, <br />is a "win -win" opportunity with substantial benefits for the <br />applicants and the community at large. Further documentation <br />will demonstrate that economic and environmental costs to the <br />community will be negligible. <br />Sincerely, <br />American Stone Company <br />By :_kpa-tla" - <br />Orange water and Sewer Authority <br />By: <br />P li urh m <br />Alice Durham <br />
