amism <br /> Blackwood Mountain :J <br /> Route 8, Boxes 94,95,96 <br /> Chapel Hill, NC <br /> Tax Map reference 7.19 <br /> March 18, 1987 <br /> Orange County Planning Office <br /> Attention Mr. Don Powell <br /> Hillsborough, NC <br /> To the Orange County Planning Board: <br /> We the undersigned, request that our addresses on Route 8, Boxes 94,95,96 <br /> be changed under the new plan to numbers on Mill House Road, Blackwood Mountain, <br /> Chapel Hill. We do not wish ,to be assigned addresses on Manor Drive as pro- <br /> posed for the following reasons: <br /> 1. The name Manor Drive was chosen by the recent owners and developers of <br /> Manor Hill project without any consultation with other people who own <br /> land along the drive and have lived there many years. We have perpetual <br /> right of ways to our properties as noted in official deeds. In addition, <br /> we have done all of the maintenance on the road without any assistance <br /> from the Manor Hill developers. Therefore, we should have been involved <br /> in the naming of the drive. <br /> 2. Our properties are located in the area that has been known as Blackwood <br /> Mountain for decades. Property in this area was deeded to the Blackwood <br /> family in a land grant from King George of England and has been owned by <br /> that same family until recently. This information should have received <br /> serious consideration in matters concerning the naming of this private <br /> road. <br /> If you have questions concerning this request, please contact Linda Barnard <br /> at 942-4801. <br /> Sign !d, <br /> f_ - Cecil Griffin <br /> r <br /> eiv , Carolyn Griffin <br /> a <br /> W.
