CALVIN A. MELLOTT <br /> P.O. Drawer 336 <br /> Carrboro, N.C. 000213 <br /> 27514 • <br /> October 10, 1985 <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins <br /> Planning Director' <br /> • Orange County, N.C. , <br /> 106 E. Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, North Ca rolina 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Collins, <br /> As you are aware I own property on Eubanks Road at the N.E. intersection of <br /> S.R. 1727 and S.R. 1723. (approximately 20 acres) The property is zoned 1-1 <br /> and has been subdivided into six building lots rangirfg in. size from 80,500 sq. ft. <br /> to 107,750 sq. ft <br /> We would like to begin our building program that would involve an office warehouse <br /> distribution building. However we feel that the existing floor area ratio is much <br /> too small and results in a very inefficient use of the land. <br /> Since the zoning rdenance in 4.2.21 specifies that there be no adverse impact <br /> beyond the immediate space occupied by the building it seems reasonable that <br /> by increasing the floor area ratio we could keep within the intent and also <br /> much more efficiently utilize the existing land. <br /> We want to build our first building on lot #5, which is 107,750 square feet in area. <br /> (2.5 acres) Our proposed building is 20,000 sq. ft. and is a single story office • <br /> warehouse combination. <br /> This would be a F.A.R. of 0.19. - <br /> Please accept this letter as a formal requioa. to change the F.A.R. on our <br /> subdivision from .063 to .19 for the above stated reasons. <br /> We are in the process of having an illustrative plan drawn up for the whole , <br /> subdivision showing the more efficient land use and the reasonableness of this <br /> request. We will submit it to you as soon as it is completed. Please let me know <br /> what other steps I need to take to accomplish this request. <br /> Thank you for your help in this matter. <br /> - <br /> Yours truly, <br /> • Calvin A.
