• <br /> • <br /> 11 <br /> APRIL 17, 1986 <br /> SECOND PUBLIC HEARING <br /> ON <br /> LAND USE PLAN <br /> REPRESENT: I am speaking on behalf of approximately 300 families <br /> living near the property shown on the Land Use Maps as <br /> Landfill site. <br /> Many of these families live adjacent to the landfill <br /> site. All of the families in this area have wells and <br /> septic tanks. <br /> LOCATE: This site is less than 1700 feet north of Homestead Road <br /> and less than 2000 feet from Chapel Hill -Carrboro High <br /> School which has a deep well for shop and emergency <br /> purposes . This site is the highest point of land for <br /> miles around in every direction, being 550 feet above <br /> sea level . <br /> Many springs and streams originate on this site and run <br /> into Bolin Creek, Booker Creek, Old Field Creek and New <br /> Hope Creek . MOST of these streams were still active <br /> from underground springs during the infamous drought of <br /> the 70s. <br /> ZONED R-1 : This property is currently zoned R-1 , one acre minimum <br /> lot size. <br /> These maps show it will be zoned Landfill when this Land <br /> Use Plan is adopted by the governing bodies of Chapel <br /> Hill , Carrboro and Orange County. <br /> REMAIN R-1 : We the people affected by this re-zoning vigorously <br /> object to the rezoning by this method . We earnestly and <br /> urgently request that this site remain zoned R-1 until <br /> it becomes necessary to use the site for purposes other <br /> than R-1 . Please remove "Landfill Site" from the Land <br /> Use Plan maps . <br /> Thank you, <br /> W. A. Scott <br /> _ ,t <br />
