Regional Council explained
some of the services available
to local government through
their offices. Assistance with
developing subdivision regula
tions can be obtained and the
DNRCD has a model subdivi
sion ordinance that local
governments can consider.
Oameron emphasized in
clteing that the people of
western North Carolina local
government officials and
Western North Carolina
Tomorrow are not opposed to
development. It was generally
agreed that the region needs
development, but not shoddy
development that leaves
substandard roads for
residents and state govern
ment to repair at high casta.
We need "development with
conscience," emphasised
Huskins. Dr. Joe Phillips,
chairman of the N. C.
Sedimentation Control Com
mission, stated that the region
has some very beautiful, high
quality developments. It is
possible to have the kind of
development that benefits
those moving to the region and
the communities into which
they move.
Right now our road and sub
division construction is caus
ing an average loss of 20 tons
of soil per disturbed acre an
nually. The state commission
goals is to reduce this to ? tons
per year. This is possible if
good development practices
are followed. The cost in the
long run to everyone is much
less, Phillips added.
