He expressed concern about future zoning <br />restrictions in that area.

However, he also expressed <br />appreciation for the importance of affordable homes and expressed <br />opposition to this property being zoned R-1 entirely noting that this <br />would result in very expensive properties which would be unaffordable to <br />the average medium income citizen in Orange County. <br />Mr. Joe Haken, employed by NCNB to study the 112-acre tract of land on <br />Weaver Dairy Road, spoke noting that there are no homes available in <br />Orange County at a cost of less than $120,000. He suggested that the <br />tract should have diversified planning, creating a density that will help <br />allow people to be able to have homes in Chapel Hill at a cost of <br />,.: $120,000 or less. <br />b.
