%U <br /> Orange County Commissioners P08 1106 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 Hillsborough, . HC 27278 <br /> 6-1 -87 <br /> Dear Commissioners: <br /> The preliminary plan for our proposed development, Eno Riuer Estates, <br /> was rejected at your April meeting due to concerns about the safety of <br /> the bridge over the Eno river. In this letter and the attachment we hope <br /> to demonstrate our efforts to resolve this question. <br /> Ue feel the ideal solution to the development's transportation <br /> requirements would be to build a bridge and all roads to state DOT <br /> standards, and to subsequently petition the state to take over <br /> maintenance. Ue have been working to try to achieve this end in the <br /> most cost-effective manner, since we are private individuals with quite <br /> limited means. The attached letter is from the engineer we employed to <br /> research both hydrographic data and construction options. <br /> Achieving a plan by which the deuelopment would <br /> get <br /> roads ( which of course implies a bridge to state DOT tstandards a) would <br /> be of benefit to ourselves, future residents of our development and <br /> residents of adjacent developments , not to mention the county in <br /> general. Even if there exist technicalities, which there undoubtedly <br /> do, by which this petition could be rejected, we are sure you will see <br /> beyond them to the benefit to be derived by all with our plan. <br /> As you are aware, 11 lots are already platted immediately north of us <br /> in Just-A--Mere Landing. If you add our 2 parcels of land, which can be <br /> divided into 9 additional lots, you can see the potential for <br /> significant traffic on the existing bridge, which will necessarily be <br /> serviced by lesser private roads. <br /> For the additional lots the County gains a bridge and is relieved of <br /> its obligation to maintain the existing bridge to: <br /> 1 . Service and maintain the dam. <br /> 2. Protect citizens using the bridge for ingress to their lots <br /> (23 in total). <br /> Ue have been endeavoring for over a year now to begin work on our <br /> project. Ue would hope to resolve the matter to eueryones satisfaction <br /> and continue to work with the members of the Board of Commissioners and <br /> Planning Department. <br /> Yours eJ , <br /> 6eo La," more. <br /> Marcia Lattimore. <br />
