r' Cornwallis JL61(s _ 43 Property Owners Association, Inc. P.O.BoX 1013,1,61sbo=gh,Njx'2 72 78 March 7, 1995 To the County Commissioners: Re: Two strips of land adjacent to Cornwallis Hills at the 1-40/Old 86 node, as yet unapproved for the EDD pending talks between landowners on Old 86 and Cornwallis Hills residents We appreciate the opportunity to negotiate among both parties the best use of this land. The Planning Staff has trade several attempts to keep the two groups talking, hoping to reach a compromise. Ultimately, each meeting ends at the salve roadblock: commercial/retail or not. We feel further discussion is futile and ask that you review the situation and make a decision soon. The many families of Cornwallis Hills feel that our safety is threatened by businesses directly adjacent to our subdivision that attract casual passers-by and keep late hours; no feasible modification of buffer requirements under Primary zoning can allay that fear. Other less densely populated residential areas abutted to the EDD have buffers provided by Secondary zoning. First impressions arc the strongest. We hope that visitors to Hillsborough will continue to be greeted by at least some of the rural character now present just north of I-40. While we'd like to see an expansion of the tax base for the county, we feel these two areas are such a small percentage of the EDD node here and would better serve as much-needed office space. We ask that the areas in question be classified under Secondary zoning in the EDD plan. Thank you for your consideration.
