AMEM <br /> Mr . a __( TA) V W.Di�' . <br /> (____._)_, <br /> We, the undersigned, citizens of Orange County, urge the County <br /> Commissioners and its duly empowered Boards and Commissions to return <br /> rural densities to one acre minimum lot sizes by defeating the proposed <br /> amendment to the._.zoning ..ordinance, zoning atlas, and subdivision <br /> regulations. Further, we request you amend the Land Use Plan to allow <br /> ONE ACRE lots in the RE (Rural Buffer) district. <br /> We support the concept of maintaining rural features in our County, <br /> but believe the two acre lot size minimum will have significant adverse <br /> consequences for the people and government of the County for the following <br /> reasons : <br /> 1. Property Ri hts - Requiring a two acre lot minimum infringes on the <br /> rights of current land owners by decreasing land values and limiting <br /> opportunities to provide land for future generations. <br /> 2. Affordability of Housin <br /> to the extra costs of acquirin Individual lot prices will increase due <br /> standard, further reducing thegpracticalityiof affordablethousing.acre <br /> 3. Tax Increases - Decreasing housing densities and decreasing land <br /> values will reduce the tax base, thereby requiring substantial future tax <br /> increases to provide County services. In light of c <br /> problems, a two acre.lot minimum seems irresponsibleurrent funding <br /> 4. Environmental Impact - Setting up regul <br /> to water and sewer extensions creates urban atory <br /> public health problems. <br /> NAME <br /> ADDRESS <br /> 4 .
