Jef <br /> 300 Stony Hill Rd. <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br /> October 13, 1984 085 <br /> Dear Orange County Commissioners : <br /> I only regret that I must be out of town for this very auspicious <br /> occasion. Having tracked this process for the last two I <br /> believe that as our elected officials years,the <br /> present draft of the Joint Land Use us well you, and <br /> congratulations! Thank you, and <br /> I do have a couple of thoughts that I would like you and the <br /> representatives of the cities of Carrboro and Chapel Hill to keep in <br /> mind. <br /> Firstly, I would like to remind all of <br /> compromise. As a citizen of Orange County who oha that this veaw is a <br /> the confines of the city of Carrboro' s "transitional area", within <br /> steadfastly supported the idea of maintaining the rural residential <br /> zoning of our lands in Calvander. It is up to you to continue to <br /> monitor the growth of our neighbor to the south, and to assure us that <br /> the densities set forth in this agreement are upheld. I feel that we <br /> rural residents have given a tremendous amount of <br /> intended) in the negotiations, and I would feel betraye (if pun ed densities allowed within the body of the plan were actually exceeded.. <br /> Secondly, I would hope that when the lands in the "transitional areas" <br /> are actually rezoned, that all deed restrictions would be followed in <br /> the zoning of the properties. <br /> And, thirdly, I feel that there is a time when all towns <br /> cities. I believe that it is the duty of the erow inty <br /> Commissioners to monitor the growth of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, and nto <br /> assure the county residents that these burgeoning metropoli are planned <br /> in a manner responsible not only to the city dwellers, but responsible <br /> to the rural residents as well. In order to do this, I believe that <br /> both cities need to begin building up, rather than <br /> to spread. out indefinitel just being allowed <br /> function much more efficiently if Tthisnisaaccomplished the cities will of <br /> I believe that the literature will support me on this idea. <br /> Again, I thank you for your perseverance in continuing to look out for <br /> the interest of Orange County's rural residents. Good Luck! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 4 Jef `' <br />
