Governmental Public & Section 18.6, Public Utility Facility Definition: Planning
Supervisor Smith said that in June of this year, the planning department was requested to draft an
amendment to Article IX, SR 49 (Water Treatment Plants). He said the goal was to make the site
design requirements "more stringent," and the amendment primarily addressed facilities that
were adjacent to residential areas. Smith said ordinances from other counties had been reviewed
in writing the amendment. In addition, he said the planning board approved the amendments,
and they had been reviewed by the county attorney and the environmental health supervisor.
He then presented the following revisions to the ordinance (additions are underlined and
strikeouts represent sections to be omitted).
