We, the undersigned, citizens of Orange County, urge the County <br /> Commissioners and its duly empowered Boards and Co <br /> rural densities to one acre minimum lot sizes by defeating$ to prtpon <br /> amendment to the..zoning. ordinance, zoning atlas, and subdivisionropsed <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 Rousing - Individual lot <br /> to the extra costs of acquiring and developingplandstoialtwocacree 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 of current funding <br /> problems, a two acre.lot minimum seems irresponsible. <br /> 4. Environmental Impact - Setting up regulatory and economic barriers <br /> to water and sewer extensions creates urban sprawl and risks future <br /> public health problems. , <br /> NoADDRESS TELEPHONE <br /> &XI:-!— — 14 i l3 le- �c P 2- <br /> wa.
