NORTH CAROLINA 27516 <br /> January 30, 1997 Tdq*wm(919)969-2700 <br /> Mr. Eddie Kirk <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> P.O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Eddie: <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to review the Special Use Permit application for the Orange <br /> Regional Landfill vehicle maintenance building. We have some minor suggestions: <br /> • Most of the site has recently been harvested for timber and is mostly open. There are, <br /> however, several large hardwoods in the wooded strip along Eubanks Road that are likely <br /> in the designated buffer area and we would suggest that they be shown on the plans and <br /> adjustments be considered if necessary to preserve them. The County may wish to <br /> consider erecting tree protection fencing, depending upon how close these trees are to site <br /> construction. <br /> • It is difficult to determine the exact property lines in the field, but it appears that some of <br /> the internal buffer areas may recently have been cleared. The County may wish to <br /> consider recommending replanting this area. Additional planting of evergreen materials <br /> along Eubanks Road may also be a consideration to supplement the deciduous trees in this <br /> area. <br /> Please let me know if we may be of further assistance. <br /> Sin rely <br /> B.
