As those documents accurately set forth the factual <br />background and nature of the petition of my clients, I will not <br />undertake to restate them at this time. <br />I have reviewed the material contained in the Orange County <br />Planning Staff Action Agenda Item Abstract for item 1D and <br />I have carefully reviewed the possible alternatives to the <br />current baundary dilemma suggested by the County Planning Staff <br />in Agenda Item 1D. My clients, as Orange County property owners, <br />have a philosophical concern about using their property as a <br />buffer to protect their adjoining property owner for the purposes <br />proposed, but if this is found to be in the public interest and <br />is a valid exercise of governmental power, then my clients would <br />concur in the. concept of the recommendation of the Orange County <br />Planning Staff. I say concept so as to request that the County <br />Commissioners consider a modification which I believe can be <br />constructed to obtain the same result as the County <br />recommendation and also preclude a result particularly <br />detrimental to my clients' use of their property. In the <br />Planning Staff recommendation it was proposed that the Transition <br />Area II baundary be relocated to a set distance of 400 feet from <br />the Duke Forest border and further recommended that a 100 foot <br />natural buffer be retained or installed on each new lot adjacent <br />
