MAY 21 '93 11:05 CARRBORO TOWN HALL P.4 <br /> 4 <br /> children will go to Seawell . Cameron Court is <br /> under construction. There will be 24 homes there . <br /> It is less than a mile from Seawell , and if <br /> they ' re not allowed to go to Seawell , they will be <br /> bussed to another school . There are 24 new low <br /> income units on Airport Road. Those children will <br /> go to Seawall . Ironwoods is building Sty new <br /> houses , and all those children will also go to <br /> Seawall . That is a total of 213 houses , and <br /> Seawell is already over capacity by 113 students ! <br /> If Lake Hogan Farm is to be upzoned to 2 . 1 <br /> houses per acre , that is a potential of close to <br /> 600 new houses , most probably starter homes with <br /> young families and young children who will feed <br /> into Seawell Elementary School . How can the <br /> School possibly accomodate that number of <br /> children? The infrastructure does not exist to <br /> handle these kinds of numbers . <br /> Both Wake and Durham County Schools are in <br /> crisis now. This threatens our schools even more , <br /> as these people move to our area, too. <br /> As a parent of young children in an already <br /> overcrowded school and as a citizen of an <br /> essentially ' rural areas I appeal to you NOT to <br /> rezone the Lake Hogan ' Farm. <br />
