3~0 <br />7. HAZEL M. COTTON asked about a situation in which she deeded to her <br />san an acre of land but because of a problem with the right--of-way cannot <br />get a building permit to move her sons trailer onto the one acre of land. ~ <br />Barry Jacobs explained that without knowing the entire situation, he <br />could not address the problem. He informed her of the appeal procedures: <br />through the Board of Adjustment. <br />8. BOB HOGAN expressed opposition to the proposal. He indicated that <br />the proposal was not in the interest of the majority of people. He <br />expressed a concern that the watershed continue to be protected. <br />9. DICK HAVENS, Real Estate' Broker, spoke in opposition. He mentioned <br />concern for the land that had been handed down through generations. He <br />questioned the legality of attaching such a regulation to land owned by <br />individuals. <br />10. JOHN HODGES-COPPLE, Habitat for Humanity, expressed opposition to the <br />proposal and expressed a concern for affordable housing. He agreed with <br />keeping Chapel Hill and Carrboro away from Hillsborough. He feels there <br />must be another solution for what the Board is trying to do. <br />11. CHARLOTTE THOMANN spoke in support of the two acre minimum lot size. <br />She agreed that the undeveloped land should be kept to the minimum growth <br />but that any pre--existing properties should be exempted from the two acre <br />minimum. Development is encroaching upon orange County and she feels the <br />people who live in the County should be protected. The two acre minimum <br />would also help protect Duke Forest which hopefully will remain <br />undeveloped to provide green space in the County. <br />12. J. BARRY WESTON, Civil Engineer specializing in land planning,;.,,..,:; <br />emphasized that the minimum two acre lot size will significantly increase` <br />the price of lots. There are problems with water and sewer within those <br />areas already. The proposal will be unfair to those existing property <br />owners both large and small. It will be unfair to prospective buyers <br />because it will raise the cost of those lots. <br />13. W2LLTAM HUTCHINS, Falls of the New Hope, indicated that the vast <br />majority of landowners in that area desire the two acre minimum lot size. <br />He.stated that six wells are already polluted making it difficult to have <br />one acre lots. <br />14. PETE THORN, Homebuilders Association, spoke in opposition of the two <br />acre minimum because it prohibits affordable housing. If water and sewer <br />is not extended into the Rural Buffer most of the land will remain <br />undeveloped because of the inability of the soil for septic tanks. He <br />stated that unless the Rural Buffer is going to be set aside as a bedroom <br />community, the two acre lot size does not make sense. <br />15. FORREST D. LOY owns one and one half acres and voiced opposition to <br />the proposal. <br />16. LULA M. COTTON asked that the County Commissioners think about what <br />an acre of land costs. She asked that they. let one acre stand. <br />17. JOSEPH FEARRINGTON spoke a,n opposition to the proposal. He wants the <br />proposal changed to one acre lots. <br />18. GROVER WEBB of the Orange Grove Community strongly opposed the two <br />
