provides the residents of Orange County special protections. There has been no discussion as <br /> to the impact this new process will have on the rural buffer and extraterritorial districts in Chapel <br /> Hill and Carrboro. <br /> Given that the 800 page, updated document was only posted on the website in mid-November <br /> and that there has been very little notice or explanation given to the public through the <br /> newspapers, it seems that the County Commissioners should revise the current time line and <br /> offer the appropriate public hearings and opportunities for public input based on a more <br /> accurate description of the process that is unfolding. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Linda Finch, Architect <br /> 1438 Gray Bluff Trail <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27517 <br /> From: Kurt Riitters <kriitters @nc.rr.com> <br /> Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 06:29:18 -0500 <br /> Subject: Unified Development Ordinance <br /> To: Barry Jacobs <bjacobs @co.orange.nc.us>, Bernadette Pelissier <br /> <bpelissier @co.orange.nc.us>, gordon.alice @gmail.com, Mike Nelson <br /> <mikenelsonnc @aol.com>, Pam Hemminger<phemminger @bellsouth.net>, Steve Yuhasz <br /> <syuhasz @co.orange.nc.us>, Valerie Foushee <Vfoushee @co.orange.nc.us> <br /> Dear Board Members, <br /> As a resident of Orange County I request that you (a) postpone the vote on the UDO, (b) <br /> extend the timeline for this process, and (c) make a sincere effort to educate the public about <br /> the purpose and consequences of the 800-page document which was released only 11 days <br /> ago. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Kurt Riitters <br /> 1412 US Highway 15-501 South <br /> Chapel Hill <br /> From: John or Yvonne Schmidt <schmidj @nc.rr.com> <br /> Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2010 22:24:57 -0500 <br /> Subject: Unified Development Ordinance <br /> To: bjacobs @co.orange.nc.us, bpelissier @co.orange.nc.us, gordon.alice @gmail.com, <br /> mikenelsonnc @aol.com, phemminger @bellsouth.net, syuhasz @co.orange.nc.us, <br /> Vfoushee@co.orange.nc.us <br /> Dear Commissioners, <br /> I urge you to postpone the vote scheduled for the Unified Development Ordinance, and to slow <br /> things down. This is a long and very complex ordinance and more time needs to be available to <br /> provide for information to and input from the public. I don't think it can be properly addressed <br /> without advance notice and public hearings. I don't think most of the citizens in Orange County <br /> know about it or understand it. <br />
