1 • ECEIVE • RTZ'L- � Q • Route 8, Box 111 1 1 C Chapel Hill, N. C. 27514 RP April 18, 1986 Mr. Marvin Collins, Director Orange County Planning Department Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 - 4 Dear Mr. Collins: It is my understanding that when the proposed land use plan has been approved by the governing bodies of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County it will be the basis for making changes in the zoning ordinance to bring it in compliance with the approved land use plan. Apparently those areas in the respective jurisdictions that are presently zoned differently than the approved plan will be rezoned to comply with the approved plan without further 'Lublic Hearing on the individual changes. If the above stated process is correct and causes a change in the R-1 zoning of the proposed landfill site between Homestead Road and Eubanks Road this will be a gross violation of a solemn promise, made on several occasions by Don Willhoit, Chairman, Board of Orange County Commissioners, that the rezoning process for this site as a landfill would start approxi- mately one year prior to its need as a landfill and the affected residents would be given a public hearing. To sandwich the "use as a landfill" of this land in the land use plan and subsequent rezoning is morally and per haps criminally unfair.Although the property was purchased with public monies from the landfill fund, it is not presently a landfill, but simply public owned land held in trust by Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County. Therefore, I earnestly request that the "use as a landfill" of this property be deleted from the land use maps and that the property be shown simply as public land zoned R-1 without zoning changes. You and your staff have worked very diligently to put this plan together. Thank you sincerely for your efforts: Sincerely, , Margaret R. Scott
