- T <br /> 1 � <br /> January 31, 1995 .� <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins, Director <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> 306-F Revere Road <br /> Idillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Marvin: <br /> As discussed within our conversation earlier this week, I would like to request a review by <br /> the Planning Board of the proposed buffers for the property beginning on Oakdale Drive <br /> and moving South to I-40 on Old NC 86. It is obvious from the decisions made by the <br /> County Commissioners that the original recommendation for assignment of Primary I to <br /> these properties will not be acceptable. <br /> The I-40/Old NC 86 Homeowners Association is working diligently to develop a <br /> compromise utilization of our land that would reflect a conscientious effort to meet the <br /> Planning Board and Commissioners' objectives. However, we would like for your group <br /> to consider a reduction of the buffers, since the original Primary I zone has been deferred. <br /> It is especially important that buffer restrictions for corner lots be explored, since buffers <br /> are required on the front, back, and side. This reduces useable land tremendously without <br /> any compensation. An example would be my property which adjoins the Cornwallis Hills <br /> Subdivision on the South side of the main entrance to the subdivision. It is imperative that <br /> buffer concessions be explored by the Planning Board as a reflection of their joint <br /> commitment to reach a compromise zoning for our land <br /> Thanks again for your assistance and support in working with our association for <br /> resolution of our concerns. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tom Horne <br /> 2611 Winningham Road <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br /> cc: Members, Old 86 NC Homeowners Association <br />
