Dear Orange County Commissioners, <br /> My name is Sarah Glass and my husband and I live in Weldon Ridge neighborhood along old <br /> NC 10. As you may recall we both spoke in opposition to the EDD plan at the last BOCC <br /> meeting (I'm the pregnant one). Unfortunately we are personally unable to attend the meeting <br /> tomorrow night, but would like to express our continued opposition to the current Eno <br /> Economic Development District zoning and land use proposals which will be discussed at that <br /> time. <br /> You heard significant opposition to ANY changes to the current land use classification and <br /> zoning of the area along Old NC10 at the last meeting. The current Land Use Classification <br /> AND Zoning is "Rural Residential". <br /> Based on negative public input, the planning board proposes to retain rural residential zoning, <br /> but still desires to change the Land Use Classification from rural residential to EDE-1, which <br /> allows a number of non-residential entities. Although we appreciate the planning board's <br /> attention to the public opinion as represented by maintaining the rural residential zoning, we <br /> also think the land use classification should STAY as RURAL RESIDENTIAL. Any change <br /> otherwise would negatively impact our neighborhood in many ways (increased traffic on <br /> two-lane road, dangerous underpasses, depress home values, etc). <br /> Further, the Zoning and Land use classification would not be consistent, which will create <br /> conflicts later. Finally, the Durham plan keeps this entire area as residential in their urban <br /> growth plan. <br /> Thus, the Orange County and Durham plans will not be consistent. <br /> *As one of you mentioned at the last meeting, NO PROPOSAL regarding zoning and land use <br /> has been passed without the approval of the residents that are affected.* Clearly the residents <br /> do NOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL UNDER DISCUSSION. I urge you to oppose this <br /> proposal- and that the land use classification should either *remain residential or the region <br /> around Old NC-10 should be removed from this economic development district. * <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sarah and Oliver Glass <br /> From: Jennifer Sharpe <br /> Sent: Wed 9/5/2012 5:08 PM <br /> To: Bernadette Pelissier; Pam Hemminger (External); Valerie Foushee; Alice Gordon <br /> (External); Barry Jacobs; Earl McKee; Steve Yuhasz <br /> Subject: zoning of Old NC 10 <br /> Dear County Commissioners: <br /> My name is Jennifer Sharpe and I live on Old NC 10 Hwy. I have been to all the meetings <br /> having to do with the zoning of land on Old NC and will be attending on 9/6 to again strongly <br /> protest any land along Old NC 10 being zoned anything but "Rural Residential". <br />
