22 County and include the community of Caldwell and portions of Highways 57 and 157 and Guess Road. The area is bounded generally by the following roads: Kiger, New Sharon Church, Bill Poole, McBroom, Bunny, Sawyer, Hall Dairy, Holly Ridge, Brown, Breeze, Mary Hall and Blalock. General Statute 153A-240 requires that a public hearing be held on the proposed house and building numbers to be assigned. Notices have been sent to all affected residents and posted in the Courthouse and in at least two places in Little River Township (Caldwell Store and Rougemont Post Office) . A Planning Board recommendation is not required on the proposed house and building numbers, and the Commissioners may approve the assigned numbers following the conclusion of the public hearing. The Administration recommends approval of the proposed house and building numbers, followed by notification of the Rougemont Postmaster and the NC Department of Transportation, as required by G.S. 153A-240 . Best asked about the response of the Rougemont Postmaster. Don Powell responded that he was in favor of the number assignment. Jeff Russell, Eno Township resident, expressed concern with the system of assigning house numbers. He reviewed the problems he has had with the assignment of the number for his new home in November. He noted that the address he was given was 5211 Shady Lane. He indicated this was just one mile inside the Orange County line and he is served by the North Durham Post Office. One of the problems is that there is also a 5200 block of Shady Lane in Durham and his mail has been held due to the Post Office not knowing where to deliver the mail. He noted also that there is a Shady Lane in Chapel Hill and this means there are three Shady Lane addresses with his name (this was learned after a false alarm went in from his burglar alarm system the previous weekend) . He expressed concern that all bordering counties should be contacted before numbers
