The mac map reference is: Cheeks Township - Map 41.114. The comprehensive mM use plan idemifirs this tract as Public Imerest District. We propose modifying the land use plan and zoning to Agricultural Residential consistent with the surromaing zoning sad usage. This proposed annulment does ram change the intent aM purpose of the plan. It is Duke University's invent to sell this land. Other than the fact that it is owned by Duke University, there does not seem m he any other nvsoe that it was idmdfred in the small area plan as Public Interest District. From Duke's perspective, this vast u not used for forest research, it does not have any, strategic sigNficaoce to the forestry pro8mm at Duke and it does mt edJOln any other Isads of Duke University. Marketing of the tract hat proven extremely difficult given iv present zoning of Public iomrest District which prohibits any' residential uu. This zoning classification was apparently pawed without Duke's knowledge or consent In our research, we fmd that the donmematioe surrounding the assuming is ranee Want and that Duke University was not aware that such severe antrictions were being placed on their property.
