CITIZEN COMN~NTS <br />Jo Soulier, President of the Cornwallis Hills Homeowners <br />Association, clarified that the annexation of Cornwallis Hills is due <br />to happen next April or May. She made comments on the addition of the <br />remainder of the Addison property to the EDD. Their concern is that <br />this property is adjacent to 50 acres of future development of <br />Cornwallis Hills. She said that if it is included, perhaps some of it <br />could be left as green space. She is glad that the access is not going <br />to come through Cornwallis Hills, but it will disturb the creek. <br />Regarding the proposal that eliminates the 100 foot buffer along <br />jurisdictional lines, she feels that the wording of this proposal will <br />mean that, once Cornwallis Hills is annexed, the jurisdictional line <br />will be the same as their property line and there will be no buffer <br />between the EDD and their homes. Future jurisdictional lines are <br />moving targets under this proposal the way it is worded. She suggested <br />that the buffer be left in place and changed only through a special use <br />permit. <br />Judy Brown who lives on Stagecoach Run made reference to a map and <br />section III of Stagecoach Run. She showed her location on lot 7 and <br />the two lots being proposed for addition to the EDD. They bought their <br />lot in 1993 and were told that they were part of Section III and that <br />they would have a buffer as a residential lot. They have restrictive <br />covenants which indicate that each and every lot should be used for <br />residential purposes only. She noted that the two lots comprise such a <br />small area and questions what purpose they would serve. She is opposed <br />to the addition of these two lots to the EDD. <br />Dan Lanigan read a letter from Mr. Stephen K. Riddle, President of <br />the Stagecoach Run Homeowner's Assoc. This letter is in the agenda on <br />page 17. He asked that lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Tax Map 4 SE, Sec. 3, <br />Block A, plat book 27, page 5 remain part of the Stagecoach Run <br />development and that there be a 100 foot buffer between the boundaries <br />of the Stagecoach Run development and the EDD. They asked that the <br />Orange County Planning Board exclude Lot 4.45..2E from the EDD and <br />include the 100 foot buffer originally proposed and agreed upon at <br />their meeting with the Planning Dept. in May of 1993. Mr. Lanigan <br />stated that he strongly opposes the inclusion of these four lots into <br />the EDD and furthermore the two lots north of that would be landlocked <br />with no road access if this was approved. He asked that this amendment <br />not be approved. <br />Mr. Huge Moren stated that he and his wife are co-owners of the <br />land requested for inclusion in the EDD. He was unaware of the <br />concerns of the neighbors in the Stagecoach development. He noted that <br />with part of his land in primary and part in secondary, it makes it <br />very difficult to develop property in two different zonings. He does <br />have a letter from one of the adjacent property owners supporting this <br />
