Box 727 Walter L Thomas Professor 3115 Rippy Lane Division of Gynecologic Specialties Hillsborough, NC 27278 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology November 28, 19 9 4 Moses Carey, Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Carey: We appreciate the time and effort which has been directed by the Commissioners of Orange County and other officials toward orderly development designed to ultimately benefit the entire county. No one would prefer to see the rural atmosphere of Orange County left entirely undisturbed more than we would. However, with the Interstate Corridors and the growth of this strategic vicinity, development will come. It must be carefully nurtured so as to afford the county clean industry, acceptable commerce and decent salaries for its citizens. This equates to a worthwhile tax base for the county. With appropriate care -- as that which seems to be being exercised -- this can be accomplished without unacceptable alteration of the environment. Most of our farm, which we have worked hard to develop and had hoped to live on indefinitely, has been included in the economic development district under current consideration. The northwest corner (shown in red) was excluded, we understand, because the lines were drawn to follow natural barriers. - After careful recent personal reconnaissance, we maintain that no significant natural barrier warrants this. We therefore urgently request that this area of our property be included in the I-40/Old NC 86 Economic Development District in order to avoid split use of our property and the creation of a parcel of land without access. Sincerely yours, W. Allen Addison, M.D. Sally Ann Addison WP-A:dfd Box 3296.Durham,North Carolina 127910•Telephone(919)684-4272•FAX(919)681-7483
