Approved 1/4/2017 <br /> <br />7 <br /> 318 <br />Paul Guthrie: Well I think there’s a solution outside of that. If a surrounding or neighboring piece of property felt that it 319 <br />was being harmed by those discharges then there could be private action. 320 <br /> 321 <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 322 <br />seems to get… 323 <br /> 324 <br />Paul Guthrie: Because I have a feeling that we’re going to see some significant changes attempted on a clean water 325 <br />act, for example. 326 <br /> 327 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I have one more question. I take it there’s no RV parks in Orange County? 328 <br /> 329 <br />Patrick Mallett: Legally, no. 330 <br /> 331 <br />Alan Clapp: There is one just across the line in Alamance County, but not in Orange. 332 <br /> 333 <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 334 <br />Jones Road and I’ve seen people park their RV there but I don’t know how long. 335 <br /> 336 <br />Alan Clapp: That’s the one. That’s called a park model. So they leave those there. They hook their bathrooms to the 337 <br />septic system but they have a bathhouse where you have to go and take a shower. 338 <br /> 339 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Ok. And they’re regulation is based on the County it’s in? 340 <br /> 341 <br />Alan Clapp: Yes. So, in Alamance that’s fine. Here, the Health Department could permit that the same way but they’d 342 <br />also have to meet planning regulations. 343 <br /> 344 MOTION by Kim Piracci to approve statement of consistency in attachment 3 and to approve the proposed 345 <br />amendments in attachment 4. Seconded by Patricia Roberts. 346 VOTE: 7-1 (MAXECINE MITCHELL OPPOSED) 347 348 <br />Maxecine explained she had some reservations about whether it’s a good idea. 349 <br /> 350 Agenda Item 8: Public Hearing Process - 1 Year Report – To provide comments and input into a report 351 <br />staff is preparing for the Board of County Commissioners that will review one year of public 352 <br />hearing items. This 1-year report was requested by the BOCC when the revisions to the 353 <br />public hearing process were adopted in November 2015/ 354 Presenter: Perdita Holtz, Planning Systems Coordinator 355 <br /> 356 <br />Perdita Holtz reviewed the abstract. 357 <br /> 358 <br />Tony Blake: I have the feeling that there was more through put than we would have otherwise been able to 359 <br />accomplish but I’m not certain I should warn out the numbers. Have we actually moved more items through the 360 <br />process via this? 361 <br /> 362 <br />Perdita Holtz: Well it had more to do with the speed of items moving through the process. 363 <br /> 364 <br />Tony Blake: So you’re saying that they went through faster, I had the feeling that there were more. 365 <br /> 366 <br />Perdita Holtz: I don’t think that there were more. I think this was a fairly typical number. 367 <br /> 368 <br />Laura Nicholson: I was just going to say, my favorite part is the fact that there’s more public comment at these 369 <br />meetings, which I think is nice because we’re getting the public involved earlier in the process.
