Excerpt of Minutes <br />Approved 10/1/88 <br />149 Michael Harvey: You would make a recommendation to approve or deny this and asked the Board of County <br />1 SO Commissioners direct the Manager's office, Planning, Health Department begin the process of establishing cohesive <br />151 and comprehensive policies that would essentially require the county to 9o through a similar process of review. <br />152 <br />153 Craufurd Goodwin: Beautifully expressed. <br />154 <br />155 Renee Price: The one other issue is oversight and who actually has the final signoff. <br />156 <br />157 Michael Harvey: We don't issue a zonir~ compliance permit until we know that an the permits will be issued. We are <br />158 the ultimate catchall. <br />1S9 <br />160 Renee Price: Mostly the oversight. <br />161 <br />162 Judith Wegner. It is better to put it in terms of a policy. What other parts of the ordnances are directed inward? <br />163 <br />i 64 Brian Crawford: I can go with the policy fomtiat as opposed to an ordinance if that pol'~cy is clear as opposed to <br />165 something buried in the minutes somewhere so the public will feel the sense the county is following the same game <br />166 plan as everyone else. <br />167 <br />168 Renee Price: Without the cafes and the regulations? <br />169 <br />170 Brian Crawford: I can live with a policy statement. <br />171 <br />172 Robert Davis: Would it be something that Environmental Health would need to put in their rules? <br />173 <br />174 Michael Harvey: Environmental Health issues the permit but it is based on state law and state standards. If we have <br />175 a kcal pol'~cy, as I am hearing from the group, that the county would assume the more rigorous policy standard for <br />176 submitting additional information to Environmental Health to secure a permit based on the concerns I am hearing. <br />177 <br />178 Brian Crawford: If DENR toms it down, they will not get it anyway, right? <br />179 <br />1$0 Michael Harvey: If one department toms down the permit, it will not be issued. <br />181 <br />182 Joel Knight; I think what makes everyone uncomfortable is that we saw fit to put this requirement in and then we are <br />183 being asked to allow the county to do what they want. We should have a policy to let the public know that the county <br />184 will folbw the same rules we will. <br />185 <br />186 MOTION Craufurd Goodwin to approve the ordinance and the Planning Board request the Board of County <br />187 Commissioners to direct the Manager of the Planning Department and the Orange County Health Department to <br />188 devise and develop a comprehensive set of rules, guidelines and policies to address large ground absorption <br />189 systems for county projects to ensure compliance with any and all standards to promote established goals and <br />190 policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Environment responsible.. Seconded by Judith Wegner. <br />191 Vole: Unanimous <br />192 <br />3'~ <br />
