Am <br /> We, the undersigned, citizens of Orange County, ure <br /> Commissioners and its duly empowered Boards and Commissigons the <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 RB (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 - Individual lot <br /> prices <br /> to the extra costs of acquiring and developinglandtoialtwocacree due <br /> standard, further reducing the practicality of affordable housing. <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 f <br /> problems, a two acre-lot minimum seems irresponsibleurrent funding <br /> 4. Environmental Impact - Setting u <br /> to water and sewer extensions creates urban regulatory <br /> public health problems. . <br /> NAME <br /> ADDRESS TELEPHONE <br /> ---. /JINX •� �, 009- 4 , ii @ , I <br /> qa5 Qgoo <br /> p e ,y � / <br /> ''� ,. . .. �1 �1 t% 1iv:G; rte_ if/it" <br /> � .
