3• the report does a good. job of translating water quality variables into zoning
4• ordinance concepts but that there are two contradictions with the County's Water
5• Resources Task Force's adopted recommendations: 1) the clustering concept presumes
6. extension of sewer lines into the watershed. The County has adopted a policy of
70 extension into the watersheds only under emergency conditions. 2) The Carrboro
8. proposal would provide for industrial development in the watershed. The County's
9. policy is to prohibit industrial development in University Lake and Cane Creek
10. watersheds. Commissioner Willhoit continued his motion saying, that the joint
110 planning process could be used to identify areas outside Carrboro's watershed for
12* industrial development and to encoura a Carrboro's
9 participation in joint planning.
11. Aldermen TIbite .said Combo= feels that industrial develcpment carefu- lly
12. planned could occur within the watershed without harming water Quality. Alder-
13. man Ruite told the Board that even if the County helped identify areas for
14. Caaxboro's industrial development outside the watershed he would still favor
15. such development within the watershed.
16. Commissioner Lloyd said he agreed with Alderman Tbite: that economic
17. development can occur within watersheds with protection.; and extension of water
18. and sewer Lines into the watersheds where ever necessary.
190 Commissioner Willhoit said that extension of water and sewer lines encouraged
20, hidxx density development than might otherwise occur; the non-point source
21. nmoff is related to the intensity of development and impermeable surfaces,
22. "which go hand in hand." Commissioner Lloyd disagreed '�dth that concept." .
