There is not a lot of buildable area here. PUBLIC COMMENT Debbie Braxton is a resident of Hillsborough, but was speaking as a Real Estate agent for Audrey Miller. Audrey Miller's property is listed at 2411 Old NC 86. There has been some interest in the purchase of her home for a small office and her property meets both of the zoning plans, but definitely meets the criteria of the proposed rezoning. The home is brick, which could be a small office with parking in the back. Her client is in favor of the rezoning. Sue Spaccarotella spoke on behalf of her mother, Audrey Miller. She said that her mom has Beaded to move after 59 years and her home is on the market. She said that they are now hopeful to sell the home with the amended rezoning.
