ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> 21 <br /> 306F REVERE ROAD <br /> HILLSBOROUGH. NORTH CAROLINA-27278 <br /> • <br /> Dear Citizen : <br /> On April 21 , 1987 the Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> adopted the House Numbering Ordinance as required by NC <br /> General Statute 153A-240. This statute authorizes the <br /> conversion to house numbers from rural route and box numbers <br /> of all Orange County addresses. Postal routes in their <br /> entirety are being used to effect address changes. <br /> Rural Routes 2 and 3 , Rougemont are now being proposed for <br /> conversion to house numbers. On February 22, 1988 a public <br /> hearing will be held before the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house <br /> numbers to residences and buildings on Rural Routes 2 and 3 <br /> served by the Rougemont Post Office. The hearing will be <br /> held at 7 :30 p. m. at the old County Courthouse in <br /> Hillsborough, N. C. <br /> If approved, the house numbers will replace the old system of <br /> rural route and box numbers. This change will improve mail <br /> delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster access to <br /> addresses. Residents will be required to display their new <br /> number on their mailbox with numerals at least 1 inch high. <br /> The proposed change affecting your address is as follows: <br /> OLD ADDEE15 NEW ADDRESS, <br /> If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal , please <br /> attend the public hearing. We welcome your comments. <br /> If there are questions, please contact <br /> Don Powell or Miriam Coleman <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Phone: 732-8181 , Ext. 345 or 575 <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • Marvin Collins <br /> Orange County Planning Director <br />
