[Durham INC] Riparian Buffers--BOCC Agenda Item

[Melissa Rooney]

This is on tomorrow night's BOCC agenda should anyone care to comment (see 
below). I cannot attend this meeting, but I'm not sure the majority of the BOCC 
would care to hear my comments on this anyway. At the very least, please email 
your county commissioners (right now) and support the increase in stream buffers 
from 50 to 100 feet. Pat has clarified that these buffers would not apply to 
urban, in-fill situations. Our water resources need all the help they can get, 
and remember that the EEUDO (citizen/developer committee that recommended these 
changes) was comprised of at least 4 members of the development community, 
including the National Home Builders' Association (Frank Thomas).


If you live in the city and can attend the meeting and speak in person, that 
would be ideal.
