<br />Kristine M. Herfkens, Ph.D. <br />Betty Rider, FACHE <br />4738 Old Lake Trail <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />February 21, 2009 <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />As owner/occupants of property adjoining Lake Orange we are unable to attend the public <br />hearing on February 23`~ and are taking this opportunity to comment Agenda Item C-1 related to <br />Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance, and Atlas Amendments. Specifically it relates to a <br />new Zoning Overlay District and incorporation of flood protection standards. <br />tt is unclear from the "dear homeowner" letter received by regular mail or from our reading the <br />published agenda and attachments whether or not our property is affected. To date, there has <br />been no sign concerning the proposed action posted in the vicinity of our properly. Since the <br />relevant 615 and 620 elevations are significant components of the proposed actions, we are, at <br />minimum, and without question, interested parties. <br />It is imperative that the Board of Commissioners appoint a special committee to reconcile <br />differences that might exist between the goals of the amended ordinances and the rights of Lake <br />Orange landowners to freely access the lake, enjoy it's recreational benefits, and to create a <br />uniform understanding among the affected property owners, interested other parties, and <br />regulatory authorities. The only real consensus is the data describing the 615 and 620 <br />elevations is inaccurate and/or inconsistent. <br />While we support reasonable and responsible regulations, the more prudent action would be to <br />first accurately determine the benchmark elevation ~in order to reach a uniform understanding of <br />necessary regulations. This is particularly important to owners of affected property at or <br />adjacent to Lake Orange because, absent an accurate benchmark elevation, regulation will <br />continue to be misunderstood and inconsistent, thus putting the county and property owners at <br />further risk. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />56 <br />Kris Herfkens Betty Rider <br />
