51 <br /> Proposed UDO Text Amendments <br /> Lake Orange Reservoir Setbacks - Section 6.13 <br /> ■ Upper Eno Critical WPOD effective and enforced since January 1 , <br /> 1994 (well after the lake was created in 1968). <br /> ■ The majority of lots around Lake Orange are non-conforming <br /> because of this retroactive setback. <br /> ■ There are many Lake Orange lots smaller than 1 acre (inherently <br /> difficult to build on); platted prior to 1994. <br /> ■ The 150-foot reservoir setback is 100 feet wider than state minimum; <br /> it is not possible for these lots to meet the 150-foot reservoir setback <br /> without a variance approval. <br /> ■ Recent research has indicated no significant water quality benefits <br /> beyond state-standard 50-foot buffer. We will enforce 75-foot. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br />
