411 To: The ofaggcounty Planning Board <br /> From: The Calvander Community Homeowners Association <br /> Date: October 25, 1987 <br /> At this important time in the determination of Orange County's <br /> future development, we would like to offer you our <br /> congratulations and support for your work on joint planning. <br /> We continue to believe that the concept of joint planning is <br /> a good one, since it will serve the best interests not only <br /> of the county and townships, but of the University Lake <br /> Watershed, a resource vital to all of us. <br /> As you move forward to solidify this joint plan, we want to <br /> add our voices to those addressing you tonight. The Joint Area <br /> Land Use Plan should be modified to clearly designate all the <br /> land west of Old Highway 86 between Calvander and Old <br /> Fayetteville Rd. as being outside Carrboro's Transition Area. <br /> This should be done to eliminate any concern or confusion as <br /> to the intent to ensure Watershed development limitations in <br /> this area. <br /> Mr. Marvin Collins has informed us that the Orange County <br /> planning staff will recommend tonight that the western edge <br /> of Carrboro's planning area should follow Old 86 as its western <br /> border between Calvander and old Fayetteville Road. Since <br /> many of the other planning boundaries follow existing roads, <br /> Mr. Collins said he saw no technical reason not to do this, <br /> so as to clarify the planning maps. In the spirit of watershed <br /> protection we urge you to approve this recommended adjustment <br /> to the Joint Area Land Use Plan. <br /> • <br />
