PA <br /> r,ercr _- , ace <br /> yn <br /> ci <br /> OBrienAtkins <br /> April 28, 1997 <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> 306 Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Attn: Eddie Kirk <br /> RE: Architectural Submittal Requirements: <br /> (Documentation of existing character) <br /> The site of approximately 2 acres on the corner of Old Hillsborough (Highway 86) and <br /> Oakdale Road consists of two residential homes in a single family residential neighborhood. <br /> The site is bordered on 3 sides by single family homes, two of whin have EDD zoning. This <br /> area is quickly developing with a variety of uses. Directly across ghway 86 is a Citco <br /> Station/convenience store. Adjacent to that facility is the Highway Department/Storage <br /> Area. On the Citco Stations opposite side, less than a block away, s a new office park. <br /> The proposed facility will be an improvement on the existing site w 'ch is somewhat <br /> cluttered with a lot of buildings and structures. The proposed use ll be fitting for the area <br /> in that it will provide much needed expansion of the State Employe s' Credit Union in <br /> Hillsborough, as well as providing handicap accessibility for bankin . The architecture on <br /> the building is appropriate for a residential area in that it resembles residential structure. <br /> The exterior materials and finishes are neutral in color and the land ape materials blend well <br /> with existing material in the area. We have been able to retain a strip of existing mature <br /> vegetation to enhance the site as well. Finally, we believe this facilily will be a great asset to <br /> the Town of Hillsborough and hope we have the opportunity to see it thru completion. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> O'BRIEN/ATKINS ASSOCIATES, PA <br /> Liz King <br /> cc: O/A File <br /> I <br />
