10 <br /> r <br /> May 1, 1996 <br /> Mr. Bill Hurdle, Chair <br /> Ms. Jean Andrews <br /> Mr. Edwin Knott <br /> Mr. Johnny Lunsford <br /> Ms. Leigh Woodall <br /> Person County Board of <br /> Commissioners <br /> Person County Courthouse <br /> Main Street <br /> Roxboro, North Carolina 27573 <br /> RE: Boundary with Orange County <br /> Dear Board Members: <br /> Enclosed is a copy of a Resolution adopted by the Orange <br /> County Board of Commissioners which includes a proposed local act <br /> which will authorize, but not require, the resolution of the <br /> boundaries between our two counties by orthophotographic means. <br /> The general law requires boundary resolutions by conventional <br /> surveying techniques, a very expensive process. <br /> You'll recall that last year you supported a similar bill <br /> offered by Orange County. A copy of your letter of support is <br /> enclosed. That bill included Alamance County and was "pulled" <br /> during the legislative process because of questions raised about <br /> its need as between Orange and Alamance Counties by the Alamance <br /> County Board of Commissioners. Orange County will continue to <br /> discuss this question with Alamance County. In the meantime, there <br /> does not seem to be any reason to delay obtaining legislative <br /> authorization to determine our respective boundary. <br /> Development along our shared boundary is occurring at an ever <br /> increasing frequency. The Orange County Commissioners hope you <br /> share our interest in providing citizens along the border with a <br /> definite "yes" or "no" to the question: which county is my land <br /> in? <br /> For your convenience I have enclosed a Resolution for your <br /> consideration. If the enclosed Resolution meets your satisfaction, <br /> please return an executed copy of it to our attorney as soon as you <br /> can. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to <br />
