A //9 <br /> AGENDA ATTACHMENT 12 <br /> PHILIP POST <br /> E7 ASSOCIATES <br /> ENGINEERS/PLANNERS/SURVEYORS <br /> 18 February 1981 <br /> Paulette Pridgen - Pond <br /> Clerk, Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Re: Orange County, Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance <br /> Dear Ms. Pond: <br /> I request a continuation of the public hearing for the above - named <br /> ordinance and, specifically, I request the opportunity to present comments and <br /> 1 exhibits to the Board of Commissioners at the earliest opportunity. <br /> This request is based on the following facts. You advertised that the <br /> proposed ordinance would be available at the Chapel Hill Public Library. I <br /> visited the library on Sunday, February 15 and read the ordinance. On Mon- <br /> day, the Chapel Hill Newspaper contained an article which described a complete- <br /> ly different ordinance on one key point (i.e. whether or not construction is <br /> permitted in the floodplain). I-returned to the library on February 17 and <br /> re-read the ordinance and still did not find the language reported in the News- <br /> paper. <br /> It was only when I arrived at the Public Hearing that I learned that a <br /> proposed ammendment to the Ordinance, dated January 30, 1981 was under consi- <br /> deration. This ammendment strikes to the heart of the Ordinance and a copy <br /> of this amendment was not on file in the Chapel Hill Public Library with the <br /> proposed ordinance. <br /> Since this key amendment was not available to the public, I request a <br /> continuation of the public hearing and a chance to make comments on the record. <br /> Please let me know the time and place where I could present some brief <br /> remarks to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> Sincere, <br /> hilip N, •ost, FE. <br /> PNP/pds <br /> (919)929-11738 100 EASTOWNE DRIVE a POST OFFICE BOX 2134 a CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27514 <br />
