Chace! �,... <br />08rienAtkins <br />April 23, 1997 <br />Orange County Planning Department <br />306 Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, NC 27273 <br />Attn: Eddie Kirk <br />RE: Architectural Submittal Requirements: <br />(Documentation of existing character) <br />The site of approximately 2 acres on the corner of Old Hillsborough (Highway 86) and <br />Oakdale Road consists of two residential homes in a single family residential neighborhood. <br />The site is bordered on 3 sides by single family homes, two of which have EDD zoning. This <br />area is quickly developing with a variety of uses. Directly across Highway 86 is a Citco <br />Station/convenience store. Adjacent to that facility is the Highway Department/Storage <br />Area. On the Citco Stations opposite side, less than a block away, is a new office park. <br />The proposed facility will be an improvement on the existing site which is somewhat <br />cluttered with a lot of buildings and structures. The proposed use will be fitting for the area <br />in that it will provide much needed expansion of the State Employees' Credit Union in <br />Hillsborough, as well as providing handicap accessibility for banking. The architecture on <br />the building is appropriate for a residential area in that it resembles a residential structure. <br />The exterior materials and finishes are neutral in color and the landscape materials blend well <br />with existing material in the area. We have been able to retain a strip of existing mature <br />vegetation to enhance the site as well. Finally, we believe this facility will be a great asset to <br />the Town of Hillsborough and hope we have the opportunity to see it thru completion. <br />Sincerely, <br />O'BRIEN /ATKINS ASSOCIATES, PA <br />Liz King . <br />_ cc: O/A File <br />
