Mr. Chairman and,.Board Members: My name is Eve Shy. ,I am here as a representative of the Chapel Hill League of Women Voters to support adoption of county wide subdivision regulations. The Teague of Women Voters is a non-partisian organization concerned with issues. We acquire information, do extensive studies and have group discussions on these studies. In the 1960's, the League undertook a land use study of Orange County. From this study, in 1964, we announced our support for a sound planning program. through which public improvements, policies and regulations would be coordinated for orderly and attractive development of communities. in 1968, we announced out support of national policies and procedures which promote comprehensive long range planning for conservation and development of water resources and improvements of water quality. In 1973-74, the North Carolina League of Women voters announced support of Land Use Planning of Statewide and Regional. Application which would effectively guide development to meet human needs and would also effectively conserve resources and protect the natural environment. We urged the state government to require that localities, city and county governments do long range planning and implementation according to state guidelines and in cooperation with regional planning offices. We urged the state to provide technical and financial assistance to local governments in setting their own community goals and developing land use policies and controls to achieve these goals within the framework of regional and state goals.
