Planning & Zoning


Groundwater Subcommittee

Review current master plan; review large scale public and private water and sewer systems throughout the county.

Policies

  • Encourage development to locate where public water and sanitary sewer are available or programmed or where an approved private system will be provided.


  • Relate minimum density and lot size requirements to the suitability of soils to accommodate on-site systems.


  • Promote consistent policies between County and State Health Departments relative to the use of alternative private systems and minimum lot size requirements.
