15 <br /> 10 <br /> Commissioner Willhoit asked about Mr. Arendt's knowledge of other <br /> alternative forms of wastewater treatment in the triaffic basin. He indicated <br /> that he would follow up on this. <br /> OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS <br /> THOMAS BUELL, JAMES M. BARTON, SR. and JOHN STONE declined to speak. <br /> One of the developers noted that the land prices have not been <br /> inflated due to the potential development. They were $6 , 000 to $10, 000 an <br /> acre four years ago and are still that today. The landowners are not <br /> interested in how many units will be built. <br /> LETTERS RECEIVED Each County Commissioner, Planning Director and County <br /> Manager received copies of all letters received in the County Commissioners <br /> Office in Hillsborough. (Each letter is filed in the Permanent Agenda File <br /> in the Clerk' s Office) <br /> Below is a list of letters received. <br /> ROXANNE BARKSDALE wrote in opposition of the proposed change in the land use <br /> plan. She stated that University Station would be the first of future <br /> developments that would demand changes in the land use plan to fit the <br /> definition of "rural" . <br /> BENITA BARTON strongly opposed such development in this area. The beautiful <br /> countryside will be ruined and the schools will be overcrowded. <br /> JAMES BARTON wrote in opposition of University Station. <br /> JUANITA BARTON wrote opposing University Station Town. <br /> ROBERT CANTWELL wrote in opposition of the zoning variance requested for <br /> University Station. <br /> NORMAN L. CHRISTENSEN, JR. , Dean, School of the Environment, expressed <br /> concerns about transportation, adequacy of a 25 acre park, location of utility <br /> corridors, and the overall environmental quality. <br /> PAULA ECKLUND asked that development proceed in a planned and controlled <br /> manner. He would like Orange County to remain a 'rural buffer" with no more <br /> than about 1 residence every 2 acres. He feels that the University Station <br /> plan is ill-advised. <br /> JUDSON EDEBURN, Duke Forest Resource Manager, asked that several specific <br /> areas be considered as details of the development are determined. These <br /> include recreational pressure, utilities, roads, water quality and parkland <br /> designation. <br /> JANE AND JONATHAN FARBER wrote in opposition to this gigantic, hasty project. <br /> They feel that the University Station development will benefit only the <br /> developers and that it will irrevocably spoil one of the last large and lovely <br /> pieces of rural Orange County. <br />
