2 <br /> Sedgefield Community, bordering both sides of Whitfield Road is <br /> being proposed for address changes which will make those addresses <br /> consistent with the numbering system approved for the entire <br /> county. Approximately 240 residents along 23 subdivision roads <br /> will be affected. These residents are located within the old Rural <br /> Route 8 postal jurisdiction served by the Chapel Hill post office. <br /> THERE WERE NO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> AND/OR PLANNING BOARD <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Mr. W. Pierce, a Sedgefield resident, spoke in opposition to <br /> the renumbering proposal. He indicated that Sedgefield already has <br /> street names and house numbers. He feels there is no benefit to <br /> the Sedgefield residents and it would cost him in excess of <br /> $1000. 00 to make the necessary changes in letterhead, license, <br /> checks, etc. <br /> Mr. Donald Fox, a Sedgefield resident, spoke in opposition to <br /> this proposal. <br /> Mr. Rick Pratt, a Stoneridge resident, indicated that he also <br /> opposed this plan to renumber. He indicated that he is the GIS <br /> coordinator at the RTP, and in his expert opinion, it is not <br /> necessary to make these changes in order to protect the integrity <br /> of the system. <br /> Ms. Maryann Bassett, a resident of Stoneridge, spoke in <br /> opposition to this proposal. <br /> Mr. Tom Hurtgen, a resident of Stoneridge, spoke in opposition <br /> to this renumbering proposal. <br /> Commissioner Carey indicated that the Board of Commissioners <br /> has reconsidered this proposal on several occasions. Each time <br /> the Board has decided to proceed with this project. <br /> In response to a question from Commissioner Insko, Collins <br /> indicated that none of the homes in question have rural route <br /> numbers. He also indicated that the proposed house numbers can be <br /> no larger than 4 digits. He mentioned that the County is trying <br /> to be consistent in this renumbering project. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Willhoit, to approve the proposed house and building <br /> numbers for Rural Route 2, Timberlake Subdivision, followed by <br /> notification to the Timberlake Postmaster, and the N. C. Department <br /> of Transportation, as required by G.S. 153A-240. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br />
