7 <br /> 1 My name is Sarah Glass and my husband and I live in Weldon Ridge neighborhood along old <br /> 2 NC 10. As you may recall we both spoke in opposition to the EDD plan at the last BOCC <br /> 3 meeting (I'm the pregnant one). Unfortunately we are personally unable to attend the meeting <br /> 4 tomorrow night, but would like to express our continued opposition to the current Eno Economic <br /> 5 Development District zoning and land use proposals which will be discussed at that time. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 You heard significant opposition to ANY changes to the current land use classification and <br /> 8 zoning of the area along Old NC10 at the last meeting. The current Land Use Classification <br /> 9 AND Zoning is "Rural Residential". <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Based on negative public input, the planning board proposes to retain rural residential zoning, <br /> 12 but still desires to change the Land Use Classification from rural residential to EDE-1, which <br /> 13 allows a number of non-residential entities. Although we appreciate the planning board's <br /> 14 attention to the public opinion as represented by maintaining the rural residential zoning, we <br /> 15 also think the land use classification should STAY as RURAL RESIDENTIAL. Any change <br /> 16 otherwise would negatively impact our neighborhood in many ways (increased traffic on <br /> 17 two-lane road, dangerous underpasses, depress home values, etc). <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Further, the Zoning and Land use classification would not be consistent, which will create <br /> 20 conflicts later. Finally, the Durham plan keeps this entire area as residential in their urban <br /> 21 growth plan. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Thus, the Orange County and Durham plans will not be consistent. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 *As one of you mentioned at the last meeting, NO PROPOSAL regarding zoning and land use <br /> 26 has been passed without the approval of the residents that are affected.* Clearly the residents <br /> 27 do NOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL UNDER DISCUSSION. I urge you to oppose this <br /> 28 proposal- and that the land use classification should either *remain residential or the region <br /> 29 around Old NC-10 should be removed from this economic development district. * <br /> 30 <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Sincerely, <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Sarah and Oliver Glass <br /> 35 <br /> 36 From: Jennifer Sharpe <br /> 37 Sent: Wed 9/5/2012 5:08 PM <br /> 38 To: Bernadette Pelissier; Pam Hemminger (External); Valerie Foushee; Alice Gordon <br /> 39 (External); Barry Jacobs; Earl McKee; Steve Yuhasz <br /> 40 Subject: zoning of Old NC 10 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Dear County Commissioners: <br /> 43 <br /> 44 My name is Jennifer Sharpe and I live on Old NC 10 Hwy. I have been to all the meetings <br /> 45 having to do with the zoning of land on Old NC and will be attending on 9/6 to again strongly <br /> 46 protest any land along Old NC 10 being zoned anything but "Rural Residential". <br /> 47 <br /> 48 I was troubled by an email sent by our unofficial "organizer", Chris Kelsey, reminding us of the <br /> 49 date of the next meeting. He indicated that the Planning Department was retaining rural <br />
