TO: ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS-
FROM: KENNETH R. THOMPSON, COUNTY MANAGER
DATE: JULY 3, 1986
SUBJECT: PLANNING/ INSPECTION FEE SCHEDULES
As part of the 1986-87 budget proposal . a new schedule
of planning/ inspection fees was proposed . The proposal was based
on Increases which occurred In the Consumer Price index since
1981 , the year of adoption of the current fee schedule.
At my request, the Planning Director has compiled
Information regarding the fee schedules of surrounding
. Jurisdictions . He has revised the original proposal In vlew .of
the additional data. The new proposal would result in combined
departmental revenues of $350,590 . The additional revenue of
$60, 109 above that anticipated from the original fee increase
proposal could be used to fund two (2) additional positions
within the Planning Department .- - a Code Enforcement Officer
( $25, 167 ) and another Planner II ( $25, 167 ) . for the Current
Planning Division . The remaining funds of , $9,775 could be
applied to the purchase of a . vehicle and furniture for the
positions.
The revised fee schedule proposal and supporting
documentation is attached .

AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE CONSERVATION OF WATER
DURING A WATER SHORTAGE, RESTRICTING THE USE OF WATER AND
WATER WITHDRAWALS, AND ALLOCATING AUGMENTED STREAMFLOW
FROM RESERVOIRS.
WHEREAS, University Lake is a significant source of raw water from which
the Orange Water and Sewer Authority supplies water to Orangel
County; and
WHEREAS, a critical water supply condition exists on the upper Eno River
with only Lake Orange to rely upon in times of drought as a
significant reserve water source for (a) supplying Hillsborough,
Orange Water and Sewer Authority, and Orange-Alamance, and for
(b) augmenting streamflow in the Eno River to assimilate waste
discharge from the Town of Hillsborough Wastewater Treatment
Plant; and
WHEREAS, the level of both University Lake and Lke Orange must be managed
to insure that Orange County citizens have essential supplies of
water in these reservoirs can extend the time and availability of
suplies for all users during critical periods; and
WHEREAS, some degree of demand reduction and cooperation by the users of
the water in these reservoirs can extend the time and availabi-
lity of supplies for all users during critical periods; and
WHEREAS, no user has the right to withdraw a disproportionate share of the
augmented flow nor reduce natural streamflow such that other
downstream riparian needs and instream needs cannot be satisfied;
and
WHEREAS, General Statutes Section 153A-121 authorizes owners of stored
water to set rules to govern water allocation during drought
periods; and
WHEREAS, Orange County has developed conservation rules and an allocation
plan based upon monthly raw water withdrawal records, modeling of
streamflow conditions as have existed over a 40 ear
y period by
the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, and calculation;
of the 7-day 10 year low flow at Lake Ben Johnson.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of County Commissioners of Orange County, pursuant
to North Carolina General Statutes Section 153A-121, ORDAINS:
ARTICLE 1. Water Shorta•e and Withdrawal Conservation Restrictions.
A. While water is flowing over the Lake Orange spillway normal con-
ditions will be deemed to exist with no withdrawal or conserva-
tion restrictions to be enforced.
A water shortage shall be declared to exist with respect to Lake
Orange, whenever the level of Lake Orange reaches the second of
seven stages shown on Table 1, or whenever emergencies develop
such that citizens cannot be supplied with water to protect their
health, safety and welfare without curtailing the water demand.
Conservation measures and a limit on withdrawals shall be insti-
tuted
upon reaching the alert stage and made more restrictive
through successive stages of drought in an effort to prolong the
availability of water. Each public water user must make allow-
ance to pass below its intake facilities the prescribed minimum
flow established for its service area plus the proportionate
share of other water users' share plus instream flow need cal-
culated for the Eno River below Lake Ben Johnson.
Water withdrawal rates for public water users and instream flow
releases shall be instituted in the amounts and per the condi-
tions shown in Table II.
B. A water shortage shall be deemed to exist, with respect to
i
University Lake, whenever the level of University Lake reaches
the second of the six stages shown on Table 1, or whenever
emergencies develop such that citizens cannot be supplied with
