~~$ ~ ~ECEl~~~ <br />~'zZ-~$ <br />Route 7, Box 71B ~-~~ <br />Whiteville, NC 28472 _ <br />August 18, 1988 <br />Ms. Shirley Marshal, Chairperson <br />Baard of Orange County Commissioners <br />Orange County Courthouse <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Ms. Marshal: <br />Inasmuch as Y will be unable to attend the public hearing regarding <br />proposed amendments to the Orange County Zoning Atlas on Monday, <br />August 22, 1988, I am asking that this letter be added to the agenda <br />and read in its entirety in my absence. <br />A recent notification (the first of any kind that I have ever received) <br />concerning planning and zoning regulations of the Protected Watersheds <br />in Orange County caused me some anguish, It generated a lengthy telephone <br />call to your planning department. From that, I received some regulations <br />pertaining to Protected Watersheds and highlights of their main thrust. <br />It now appears that the very fact that I and my Orange County neighbors <br />south of old Highway 70, who have for many years resisted over development, <br />are going to have a pay the price for exploitation by others. <br />What I considered a security (if needed) for retirement, medical crises, <br />children's educa~ion and such has now been diminished by what amounts to <br />my (and my neighbor's) supplying c 1 can water to a large segment of Orange <br />County's citizens. Somehow this just does not seem right. <br />Would you, in your deliberations, please consider my plight, represent my <br />interest, and in same manner lift or ease these restrictions? It seems <br />to me that those who profiteered and over developed in years past should <br />be the ones to pay the f iddier now. <br />I appreciate your consideration and reouest that a copy of all further <br />proposals for land use in Orange County be sent to me". <br />Sincerely, <br />Bonn R.
