~. : ti;~ Estates was included in the numbering system simply for consistency and that it will not help postal service or emergency service personnel. He stated he felt it would only create considerable inconvenience and confusion for those residents who must notify others of the address change. He asked that the Board vote to keep the numbers that are in place. ~-- GARY McDEVIN of University Station Road expressed concern that those living on Sandy Road, a non-State-maintained .road, were assigned numbers for University Station Road and questioned the outcome if Sandy Road should later become a State-maintained road. Mr. McDevin expressed support for house numbering rather than using a rural route. CARMINE PRIOLI , representing the Stoney. Creek Neighborhood Association, noted that there are three digit numbers at the present time in Stoney Creek. While he expressed concern about the wide margin between the numbers, he basically indicated support for the new assignment of house numbers. EILEEN SEEGER of 125 Hideaway Drive questioned the rationale for changing house numbers instead of using a system that provides more of a directional address to help in locating the property. RICHARD REEM asked if it would be helpful to the Board to have input from the Sheriff's Department and Emergency Management Services before making a decision on this item. Chair Marshall indicated that there are several questions that must be answered before a decision will be made and especially the question about Sandy Road.

JOHN ROGERS of 210 Hideaway Drive concurred with his neighbors and asked about the feasibility of integrating the house numbers with the zip code, resulting in a nine digit number to indicate their position on the' grid system. He felt such a system would satisfy the postal authorities,'=,. the emergency services, and the property owners. BILL HUTCHINS of Falls of New Hope Subdivision indicated there is not a consistent numbering system in place but that everyone chose their own number. He asked if the grid system sufficiently provided for infill. Chair Marshall indicated that the grid system provides sufficient space for growth and that numbers assigned would be permanent. WITH NO FURTHER COMMENTS, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CIASED. The staff was requested to provide more detailed information and a recommendation. 2. LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS - LUP-1-87 CHANDLER CONCRETE COMPANY The Staff presentation was made by Planner Gene Bell. He stated that on October 10, 1985, Chandler Concrete Company was granted a secondary Land Use Plan amendment, Planned Development rezoning, and Class A Special Use Permit for ]..41 acres of land on old NC Highway 10. The request was prompted by State-mandated requirements to contain runoff from the existing concrete plant. An adjoa.ning property owner subsequently challenged Orange County's approval in court. On December 12, 1986, the court ruled that the Special Use Permit was invalid since the applicant did not meet the required two acre minimum lot size standard, and since evidence had not been pre- sented which proved that the project would maintain the value of existing properties in the area. The affect of the court ruling was to place Chan- dler Concrete Company in violation of the Orange County Zoning ordinance. To correct its nonconforming status, Chandler Concrete is requesting that the Ten Year Transition area and Commercial Industrial
