59 proposes a 75-ft wide setback between the normal pool of Lake Orange and the proposed residential structure, a minimum 30-ft wide building setback between the Eno Cemetery Road right-of-way line and the proposed residential structure, and a minimum 100-ft wide setback between the normal pool of Lake Orange and the proposed private septic tank/drainfield. The proposed private water well will be located a minimum of 50-ft from the proposed private septic tank/drainfield. The project parcel was platted/recorded on April 11, 1974. UDO Section 4.2.2(I)(1) defines an existing lot as a lot which was created prior to January 1, 1994. UDO Section 4.4.4(I)(2) further defines that stream buffers and septic system setbacks may be reduced to the extent necessary to allow for the development of a parcel qualified as an existing lot, provided that all of the following criteria are met: a) The septic system is sized to serve no more than two bedrooms; and b) The septic tank, drainfield and repair area (where required) can be accommodated on 20,000 square feet of area or less; and c) The Orange County Planning Department, in consultation with Orange County Environmental Health and/or the Orange County Engineer has determined that encroachment of the residential structure and/or the septic system or repair area into the stream buffer or reservoir setback is necessary to provide adequate area for septic disposal and repair while maintaining required separations between wells, septic systems, structures and property lines; and d) The Orange County Planning Department, in consultation with Orange County Environmental Health and/or the Orange County Engineer, has determined that the relative locations of the well, septic system and residential structure maximize the amount of watershed protection that can be achieved while allowing development of the lot. Generally, an exception to setbacks for septic repair area is preferable to an exception for the initial septic system. Conclusion: The County Engineer has determined that PIN 9857-65-5080 qualifies as an existing lot as defined in UDO Section 4.2.2(I)(1). The County Engineer has further determined that the requested reductions to the required reservoir setbacks and the required front setback are necessary to provide adequate area for septic disposal and that the locations of the proposed well, septic system, and residential structure have maximized to the best extent practicable the amount of watershed protection that can be achieved while also allowing by-right development of the existing lot. The County Engineer hereby has No Objections to development of the project as submitted and as allowable under UDO Section 4.2.2(I)(2) contingent upon the applicant's subsequent written confirmation of compliance with sub- items a) and b) as listed above.
