Co 053 JPA DRAFT MINUTES 4-17-86 PAGE 14 yet the proposed plan designates the area where I live as suburban residential which would permit two to five residences per acre; that's absolutely impossible, the restrictive covenants preclude that. I know personally of. five other tracts of land in the Calvander area which have similar restrictive covenants. Therefore, the land does not adequately reflect the covenants of the neighborhood. This will be entirely misleading for anyone moving into the area or plans to develop. They would think they could put more on the property than they actually can. I propose that before any future land use plan is adopted, the deeds of all the property to be affected by the land . use category changes be examined to determine if any land use restrictions are contained in the body of the deeds and that those restrictions in land use be reflected in the land use category designations on any future land use map. " Curtis McLaughlin, Calvander resident, made the following statement: "I live in Calvander in the Homestead Hills Subdivision. and I have a number of very specific requests. Most of them help to throw some questions on the accuracy of the map and the quality of the plan. I'm addressing the County Commissioners; I don't believe in addressing anyone else I. can't vote for. So, to the County Commissioners: first of all, I would like the word North Carrboro removed from the map; secondly, the plan itself contains a very interesting element-it now has the one industrial area that remains at the greatest possible distance from 1-40. It calls for a very expensive road to bring all of those people from 1-40 into Carrboro. If you are not in a good location the only way you'll get a plan in N.C. is to give major tax concession. You've got to buy your plan. You have to get down on your knees in competition with other towns when you are that far from an interstate and give away the sewer to get the plan so why do you want it in the first place when you've got a lousy location. You don't have much labor. Why do you want to spend money to help unemployed textile workers from Mebane and further west. Then there is a residential area of high density which is at a position where it will take the most in the way of sewers and the most in the way of water and the most in the way of road construction. My property which is on Homestead Road at the corner of Drew Lane is classified on this map as urban residential. That whole subdivision is classified as one-acre zoning. With the covenants on the land, it can never be developed that way. If you look at that area from Lake Hogan Farm Road almost to the Calvander intersection, all of that property is already developed along the road so the only way you can get more density in that area is by breaking up the existing home pattern. Therefore, I would request that
