Approved 1/4/2017 <br /> <br />6 <br />Paul Guthrie: So what we’re talking about here would be totally controlled by State and Federal Law… That could 266 <br />become a problem. So I just plant that seed. 267 <br /> 268 <br />Michael Harvey: Understood. But with all due respect if we did nothing it would still be a problem. If we never came 269 <br />up with this amendment we’re still looking at the problem. 270 <br /> 271 <br />Paul Guthrie: Well I think there’s a solution outside of that. If a surrounding or neighboring piece of property felt that it 272 <br />was being harmed by those discharges then there could be private action. 273 <br /> 274 <br />Michael Harvey: They can be now, in fact, there has been. In the 12 years I’ve been here there’s been 1 park that 275 <br />seems to get… 276 <br /> 277 <br />Paul Guthrie: Because I have a feeling that we’re going to see some significant changes attempted on a clean water 278 <br />act, for example. 279 <br /> 280 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I have one more question. I take it there’s no RV parks in Orange County? 281 <br /> 282 <br />Patrick Mallett: Legally, no. 283 <br /> 284 <br />Alan Clapp: There is one just across the line in Alamance County, but not in Orange. 285 <br /> 286 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Ok. I was just wondering if this is the first time we’re dealing with RVs. The one I found was on 287 <br />Jones Road and I’ve seen people park their RV there but I don’t know how long. 288 <br /> 289 <br />Alan Clapp: That’s the one. That’s called a park model. So they leave those there. They hook their bathrooms to the 290 <br />septic system but they have a bathhouse where you have to go and take a shower. 291 <br /> 292 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Ok. And they’re regulation is based on the County it’s in? 293 <br /> 294 <br />Alan Clapp: Yes. So, in Alamance that’s fine. Here, the Health Department could permit that the same way but they’d 295 <br />also have to meet planning regulations. 296 <br /> 297 MOTION by Kim Piracci to approve statement of consistency in attachment 3 and to approve the proposed 298 <br />amendments in attachment 4. Seconded by Patricia Roberts. 299 <br />VOTE: 7-1 (MAXECINE MITCHELL OPPOSED) 300 301 <br />Maxecine explained she had some reservations about whether it’s a good idea. 302 <br /> <br /> <br /> 40
