00032 EXHIBIT A B. All that certain parcel of land situate in Cheek' s .Township, Orange County, North Carolina, and being more particularly described as Tract 2A on a plat prepared by Alois Callemyn, Registered Land Surveyor for Orange County Investors, a South Carolina General Partnership, dated January 18, 1985 reference being hereby made to said plat for a more particular description of the property herein conveyed. C( 1 ) . The property herein described is a portion of 137. 08 acres which has been designated by Orange County Planners as the commercial transition area. The project was commenced approximately two (2) .years ago with the construction of the buildings on or about September 1 , 1984. At all times prior to the beginning of construction, the applicants were informed that this property was designated as commercial by the land use plan and was suitable for commercial purposes by numerous members of the community along with the members of the planning department. We attended the planning meeting of the County Council in March of 1984 at which time we talked to members of the County Council concerning the zoning of our particular parcel . At that time all the maps along with the members at the meeting from the planning department indicated all our property would be designated comercial when the zoning ordinance was enacted. On March 30, 1954, letters were submitted to Orange County Planning Department and Board of Commissioners asking that this property be designated commercial when the legislation was enacted for zoning. It has been sighted that because of failure to advertise properly it could not be rezoned when the original plan was adopted. C (2) . 'The subject property i s adjoined on the northern side by Interstate 85 and on the western side by Duckhorn Road. These two roads are major arteries in Orange County and would prevent any substantial residential construction on the subject. property. It is adjoined also on the West by a commercial establishment known as the t?uckharn Fina Service Station. It has been recognized as prime commercial property not only by the applicants, but by Orange County Planning and Development Boards who recognize the need for commercial development along the 1--•85 corridor where good access can be acquired without unreasonably increasing the traffic flows on the secondary arteries.
