Being in Secondary <br /> Development would greatly restrict our options . Please <br /> consider this point carefully. <br /> 3 . The resale value of our property would not be nearly as <br /> great if we are not included in the Primary I Development <br /> Area . As someone said after the Public Hearing, our <br /> resale value could be cut in half if we are restricted <br /> from selling our properties for retail purposes . This <br /> means a great deal to all of us who are faced with un- <br /> controlled commercial development across the road . <br /> 4 . Quoting from the recommendations of the Economic Devel- <br /> opment Work Group: "The Secondary Area provides a buffer <br /> between Primary I and II Areas and existing residential <br /> neighborhoods and is limited to residential , office, or <br /> institutional uses" . As you can see , this type zoning <br /> would not be appropriate for our properties where no <br /> buffer whatsoever exists between us and uncontrolled <br /> commercial development across the road . <br /> 5 . We landowners understand the concern for having so many <br /> driveways along the road, but we feel confident that <br /> this problem can be controlled to everyone ' s satisfaction <br /> by the Orange County Planning Department and the Economic <br /> Development Commission. <br /> We simply ask that you and the Planning Board please take a long, <br /> hard look at our situation in making your decisions and put your- <br /> selves in our shoes . We urge you to please recommend that our <br /> properties remain in the Primary I Development Area of the <br /> Economic Development District Plan to be voted on by the Orange <br /> County Commissioners at their Jan meeting. <br /> Si cerely <br /> rs .
