Once the actual assignments are made, <br /> no further changes in numbering should be necessary. <br /> Two rural routes have thus far been been assigned numbers <br /> according to a proposed system developed by the County. They <br /> include Route 8 (area north of Chapel Hill consisting of <br /> Stoneridge and Sedgefield subdivisions, and homes bordering <br /> Old N.C. 86, Mill House Road and Whitfield Road) and Route 5 <br /> (area west of Carrboro off Jones ferry Road) . <br /> As required by G. S. 153A-240, a public hearing was held on <br /> March 24, 1987 on the proposed house and building numbers to be <br /> assigned. At the hearing, several citizens voiced concerns <br /> regarding the proposed house numbers. These concerns are being <br /> addressed by the Planning Department, and actions taken to date <br /> are summarized in the attached memorandum. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the proposed house and building numbers for rural <br /> routes 5 and 8, followed by notification of the Chapel Hill <br />
