48 <br /> In 2008,for what I feel certain were honorable motives, possibly related to economic <br /> development, a big mistake was made. The EDE-2 zones were expanded into the Stoney Creek <br /> Wildlife Corridor. These changes in zoning regulations have allowed a business, ill suited to a <br /> rural residential setting, to open and operate too near to residential and environmentally <br /> sensitive watershed areas. <br /> As an Orange County Commissioner, you have an opportunity to correct an existing big mistake. <br /> Just as importantly, you can avoid making another big mistake—the approval of the proposed <br /> zoning change. <br /> Secondly, to prevent making another big mistake, why not take a gamble on possibly making <br /> only a small mistake by tabling this matter of rezoning until quality of life and environmental <br /> issues can be appropriately quantified and addressed; and current problems mitigated. <br /> The choice is yours—big mistake or small mistake. The citizens of Orange County rely upon <br /> you to make the best decision for them and for the environment they must live in. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles P.
