The tax map reference is: Cheeks TowmMp - Map 41.1.14. The comprehensive land use plan identifies this tract as Public Interest District. We propose modifying the land use plan and zordng to Agricultural Residential consistent who the surrounding zoning and usage. This proposed amendment does not change the intent and purpose of the plan. It at Duke University's intern to sell this land. Other than the fact Nat it is owned by Duke University, there does vm seem in be any other reason tut it wu identfied in the small area plan as Public Interest District. From Duke's perspective, this tract is not hued for forest reseazch, it does not have my strategic significance to the forestry program at Duke and it does not adjoin Rey other lands of Duke University. Mzrkesong of the tract has proven extremely difficult given its present zoning of Public Interest District which prohibits any residential use. Miss zorhing classification was apparently passed without Duke's knowledge or consent. In cur research, we frd that the documentation surrounding rise rezooivg is rather sent and tut Duke University was not aware that such severe restrictions were being placed on their property.
