BOOK 7 PACE 97 W. H. Turner, of Chapel Hill Township, had requested that his property be rezoned from a residential area to a general commercial area. The County Zoning Officer advised the Board that the Planning Board recommended that this request be denied. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Ray, it was moved and unanimously adopted, that the request of W. H. Turner as to the rezoning of his property be denied. Commissioner Ward advised the Board of the resignation of Harry Palmer as Census Tract Key Person from the Census Tract Committee. Mr. Palmer cited as his reason for resigning this position the fact that he was leaving the Research Triangle Regional Commission. Upon motion of Commissioner Ward, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted, that Mark Burnham, of the Regional Planning Commission staff, be named to replace Harry Palmer, as Census Key Tract Person on the Census Tract Committee. Lawrence Alley, consulting engineer for the Water and Sewerage project being built near Mebane, advised the Board that this project should be completed and in operation in about two weeks. Mr. Alley recommended that change order number one relative to the overflow pressure relief valve be changed. In order to make this change in the overflow valve at the 300,000 gallon tank the cost would be approximately $685.00. Upon motion of Commissioner Ray, seconded by Commissioner Walker, the consulting engineer was authorized to proceed with the change of the pressure relief overflow valve. Dr. 0. David Garvin, District Health Officer, advised the Board that he had been contacted by interested citizens relative to a Family Planning Clinic which would be located in the Northside Community Center Building. Dr. Garvin stated that this clinic would not need personnel from the district health department staff as volunteer professional help is presently available, the clinic however, needs some funding for supplies. Dr. Garvin recuested that the District Health Department be permitted to provide the needed supplies as the approximate cost of same will be only $215.00 and the establishment of the clinic would provide a wider scope in the family planning program which is currently being presented by his department. Upon motion of Commissioner Ray, seconded by Commissioner Ward, Dr. 0. David Garvin, District Health Officer, was authorized to proceed with the establishment of a family planning clinic and also authorized to fund this program in the way of needed supplies. --?-Wiley Perry, secretary of the Orange Alamance Water System, Inc., and Lawrence Alley, consulting engineer for said corporation, filed with the Board a map designating their planned water facilities. After inspection of the map it became apparent that the planned ten inch (10") water line from the water plant to the main storage tank was adequate for present residential use but the ten inch (10'!) line would be inadequate for industrial growth in the designated area. The consulting engineer advised the Board that in order to increase the water line size from a ten inch (10") line to a twelve inch (1211) line along the approximate 22,000 foot distance from the water plant to the water tank the cost would be $27,000.00. Discussion ensued concerning the request of the Orange Alamance Water Systems, Inc. Upon-motion of Commissioner Ray, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted,that the County Attorney and the County Administrator prepare a suitable financial agreement between Orange County and the Orange-Alamance Water Systems, Inc, which would allow the corporation to increase their proposed water line from a ten ifth (10") line to a twelve inch (12") line and to further provide some method whereby the County would recover its initial investment of $27,000.00 over a period of years. C. W. Davis and G. A. Brown, Orange County's representatives on the North Central Carolina Piedmont Resources Conservation and Development Program of North Carolina, presented by laws and area committees and projected programs relative to the activities of this committee and they advised the Board that the State Department was assigning a coordinator for the proposed program and that this coordinator would maintain an office in Graham, North Carolina. Chairman Bennett directed that the papers presented by the representatives of the Resources Conservation and Development Committee be filed with the recorder of this meeting.
