ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 25, 2001 Action Agendo~a Item No. SUBJECT: Efland Area Sewer S stem Sewer Extension Process DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Draft Sewer Approval Flow Chart INFORMATION CONTACT: County Engineer, ext 2300 Planning Director, ext. 2585 Cbun Attorne , 732-2196 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-$1$1 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To present for BOCC review and approval, an outline or flow schematic that delineates the steps in which subdivision projects with sewer extensions (from the Efland sewer system) move through the County's plan submission, review and approval process. BACKGROUND: There are a number of aspects of the operation of the Efland sewer system, related particularly to the extension of sewer service to undeveloped land, that need to be clarified and amplified. Specifically, the BOCC has asked that staff develop recommendations as to the process by which a request to extend sewer service to undeveloped land will be evaluated and approved. Recently the BOCC approved a concise map delineating the current boundaries of the overall system plan for the Efland sewer system and adopted a resolution that formally confirmed and ratified those boundaries. As a second step in determining how extensions of the Efland sewer system to undeveloped land within the boundaries of the overall system plan will occur, staff is now presenting a flow chart containing its recommendations as to how a sewer extension request will be: ^ Submitted and integrated into the Concept and Preliminary Plan approval process ^ Evaluated by staff and the BOCC ^ Ultimately approved by the BOCC FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item.
