i3 Synopsis Orange County Housing and Community Development Study The purpose of this study was to identify the magnitude of community development needs in Orange County and provide a priority listing of potential target areas for the County Community Development Program. The study involved a windshield survey of all the townships in the County. This survey was initially conducted in September 1983 and reviewed in 1985 and 1987. After the last review it was determined that the conditions in the priority areas had remained the same. These target areas are listed below in order of priority. 1) Rencher Street Area 2) Cheeks/Miles 3) Rogers Road 4) Efland B 5) Efland C 6) Efland A 7) Colonial Hills 8) Byrdsville Rencher Street Area - is located in the Hillsborough Township just North of the corporate limits of the Town of Hillsborough on U.S. 86 and east of the Northern Fairview Community. This area contains 24 residences and one commercial building of which four are standard, twenty are deteriorated and one dilapidated. Some units also do not have indoor bathroom facilities. Additionally, a sewer system installation is necessary since many systems in the area are malfunctioning. The area is also being served with inadequate water lines and major road improvements are needed. Cheeks/Miles - is located in the Cheeks Township beginning on Buckhorn Road on the south side of Southern Railway and extending to Hwy 85. There are approximately 43 units in this area - 81% of which need some type of housing assistance. Additionally, trash dumping is a problem in this area. Roger Road Area - is located just north of Chapel Hill off Eubanks Road near the communities of Eubanks and Calvander. The area contains approximately 74 dwelling units - 88% of which need some type of housing assistance. Two roads in the area need to be paved for safer access for residents and emergency vehicles. Efland B - is an area south of U.S. 70 starting on the west side of Gaines Chapel Road and ending at Redman Crossing. This target area contains approximately 43 units with 60% needing some type of housing assistance. The area also needs sewer services and street improvements. Efland C - is an area north of U.S. 70 starting at Tinnin Road and ending at Redman Crossing. There are approximately 63 dwelling units - 54% of which need some housing assistance. The most severe problem here is the unpaved roads which cause excessive dust problems and poor road conditions.
