68 <br />Mr. Bob Haas indicated that when he first moved to this area the road <br />he lived on was called old Chapel Hill Road. Over the years the road <br />has gradually come to be known as Old 86. He spoke in opposition to <br />this road being officially named Old 86. He stated that he believed it - <br />was confusing to have two roads with such similar names. <br />Mr. Mark Johnson, a Chapel Hill resident and a member of the <br />Cornwallis Hills Property Owners Association, spoke in opposition to the <br />renumbering in their development. He suggested that the numbers not be <br />changed in that portion of Cornwallis Hills which is developed. A <br />letter from the Cornwallis Hills Property Owners Association outlining <br />their opposition to this renumbering is in the permanent agenda file in <br />the Clerk's office. <br />Mr. Norman Patterson, of Patterson Road, indicated that his road has <br />been named but a street sign has not been erected. He asked if the <br />county would put up a road name sign. Mr. Collins indicated that <br />because this is a private road the residents are responsible for <br />erecting the sign and the county will then maintain it. <br />Mr. Joe Taylor indicated that in March of 1989 he was given a <br />permanent address of 2511 Old NC 86 South. He asked for clarification <br />as to why his number was being changed again. He was advised that this <br />was a human error which is now being corrected. <br />Mr. B. C. Brooks, a resident of Scarlett Mountain Road, indicated that <br />Scarlett Mountain Road is a public road which does not have a road sign. <br />He asked that consideration be given to the proper placement of this <br />sign when it is erected. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked for clarification on.the present road <br />signs on Old 86. He was advised that it is called.Greensboro St, and <br />then old 86. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis pointed out that strong support has already <br />been received from the residents of the Calavander area to name this <br />road NC Old 86 and their wishes need to be considered when a final <br />decision is made. <br />Commissioner Hartwell.indicated he was in agreement with naming at <br />least a portion of this road old Chapel Hill Road. He indicated that <br />New Hope Church Road could be the dividing line. He suggested delaying <br />a decision on this until the wishes of the community can be heard. He <br />also spoke in support of not renumbering the houses in Cornwallis Hills. <br />Commissioner Marshall suggested that before this item is brought back <br />to the Board of Commissioners, Mr. Haas circulate a petition to the <br />residents of this road to see how much interest there is in this <br />renaming issue. These petitions should be received in the Clerks's <br />office before July 15th. <br />It was the consensus of the Board to delay action for 60 days on
