54 <br /> 3615 Windy Hill Rd. <br /> Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 <br /> December 3, 1995 <br /> Orange County Planning Board <br /> P.O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Dear Members of the Planning Board, <br /> I have been following with interest the progress of your proceedings regarding <br /> Flexible Development/Open Space. I am quite pleased that Orange County is looking <br /> ahead. I am sure that you saw the recent estimates that the triangle now has a population <br /> of 1 million. When you picture Orange County on the edge of a metropolis area of that <br /> size, you can see the growth pressure that exists. <br /> In general I like the proposals created by the planning staff. I would like to see either a <br /> 50% open space standard or exclusion of unbuildable land from the calculations as I think <br /> that the proposed standard is not really going to preserve much open space. In order to <br /> encourage developers to opt for open space development I would recommend that a <br /> special open space category be defined such that developments of that type either be given <br /> a lower property tax rate (if that is legal) or have discounted county fees during the <br /> development and building process. <br /> Thank you for your efforts with this very important issue. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Robert A. Harrell <br />
