This item was introduced at the August 4, 2021 ORC meeting and is <br /> 64 scheduled for BOCC public hearing on June 7, 2022 <br /> 65 PRESENTER: Chris Sandt, Staff Engineer <br /> 66 <br /> 67 It was announced that, due to outstanding legal sufficiency review, this item would only be reviewed and would be brought <br /> 68 back at a later date for a recommendation. Chris Sandt and Pat Mallett reviewed this item and answered questions pertaining <br /> 69 to the LIDO amendments. <br /> 70 <br /> 71 Charity Kirk: To summarize,you're doing it to get in line with the state and there are some deviations but you think they will <br /> 72 pass. <br /> 73 <br /> 74 Chris Sandt: Correct, Session Law 2021-121. The good news is we're good on all of these markups that went in front of all <br /> 75 the teams from the state and the only thing missing is the legal sufficiency review from the County Staff Attorney. <br /> 76 <br /> 77 Randy Marshall: Orange County has been more inclined to protect the soil,water and air and the State has become more <br /> 78 conservative and want more opportunity for developers to have more discretion. We spend a lot of time changing our <br /> 79 ordinance to match the more conservative developer friendly language of the state and we can argue but they are in charge. <br /> 80 <br /> 81 Whitney Watson: You mentioned several towns in Orange County in which Erosion Control and Stormwater has good <br /> 82 relationships and work but you did not mention Mebane. I am wondering because of the ways they are expanding by <br /> 83 annexation, by granting development and so I am wondering what that means for Erosion and Stormwater. <br /> 84 <br /> 85 Pat Mallett: We have no involvement with stormwater and some involvement with Economic Development and the Capital <br /> 86 Improvements. I have a lot of involvement with everything on the Orange County side.Along West Ten and the ETJ. <br /> 87 <br /> 88 Chris Sandt will send direct links from State regarding erosion and sediment control, Neuse Nutrient Strategy, Falls Lake <br /> 89 Nutrient Strategy and Session Laws and List of UDO Sections affected by Proposed Amendments <br /> 90 <br /> 91 This item will come back to the Planning Board in June. <br /> 92 <br /> 93 Chris Sandt: Some projects are multiple year construction. <br /> 94 <br /> 95 Pat Mallett: Collins Ridge has had 3 approvals and Medline has had 2 renewals. <br /> 96 <br /> 97 Chris Sandt: There is no renewal at the state level,we're trying to offer folks a way to renew without having to resubmit. You <br /> 98 may have to pay a fee for what is remaining after the 3 year deadline but that's half of what we would normally charge. So <br /> 99 that's what we're thinking. The staff attorney has to bless that and we didn't get any feedback from the state.We will be <br /> 100 bringing it back next month. <br /> 101 <br /> 102 Beth Bronson: Can they renew it in perpetuity or is there a time limit like they would get 2 renewals before you have to go <br /> 103 back and put in a new application. <br /> 104 <br /> 105 Pat Mallett: We are looking at like every 3 years you would have to renew it. <br /> 106 <br /> 107 AGENDA ITEM 9: ADJOURNMENT <br /> 108 Meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. <br /> 109 <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Adam Beeman, Chair <br />
