To summarize, by approving Draft 5 of the General Plan, as is and containing B-2, you are <br /> voting to: <br /> 1) "undo" a possible enforcement action by DLNR Commission on Water Resource <br /> Management; <br /> 2) "approve in principle" issuance of DLNR Water Resource Management permits to <br /> HCPC retroactively; <br /> 3) "approve in principle" final and permanent alteration the two streams; <br /> 4) "approve in principle" an administrative zoning change which will by pass the public <br /> review process; <br /> 5) "approve in principle" that HCPC's coal ash pile qualifies for an SMA permit. <br /> The stockpile has exceeded the capacity of the facility and has spilled into the Shoreline <br /> Management Area (SMA) and is now less then five hundred feet from the shoreline. It is <br /> time for the County Council to focus on protecting our water resources by opposing B-2 <br /> as an attempt to "back door" in approvals legitimizing a solid waste facility that is <br /> inappropriately located. For this reason I am asking that the Council amend B-2, changing <br /> it back to Intensive and Extensive Agriculture (its original land use element). I am asking <br /> for the same favorable consideration you gave others when you amended the General Plan <br /> by floor amendment on January 4, and 21, 2005. <br /> Our Planning Director can then handle his "technical problem" of fine tuning the <br /> agricultural land use element by amending the LUPAG map from Intensive and Extensive <br /> Agriculture to Important Agriculture at his own timing without derailing any pending <br /> State enforcement actions and without risk of back door zoning approval. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Claudia Rohr <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
