033 <br /> August 12 , 1993 <br /> Dear Mr . Stancil , <br /> I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed <br /> change in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan as I will not <br /> be able to attend the scheduled hearing on August 23 , 1993 . <br /> More specifically, I oppose the re-designation of the Land <br /> Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan from Agricultural - <br /> Residential to Rural Neighborhood Activity Node as desired <br /> by Bobby Kirk Sr . and Jr . <br /> I am a landowner whose property borders the Orange <br /> Grove Rd . , Bradshaw Quarry Rd ./Arthur Minnis Rd . <br /> intersection and whose property would be re-designated . I <br /> understand the Kirks Plan to future rezone this area to <br /> commercial in order to build a store at the intersection. <br /> I have also been told that Orange County wishes to designate <br /> several intersections as Rural Activity Nodes to potentially <br /> develop small scale commercial activity such as convenience <br /> stores , resturants; banks , etc. If approved, this <br /> intersection will be thusly designated opening up the door <br /> for further development beyond one small store . <br /> As a single woman living alone whose backyard and <br /> possible sideyard would be next to such development, I have <br /> serious concerns about safety. At present this area is a <br /> quiet, -safe , rural area. Developing this intersection would <br /> attract people to the area with potential loitering , <br /> buglary , drugs , and the like . This greatly concerns me . I <br /> am also concerned about lights , traffic , noise and the <br /> potential to add more commercial activity once the area is <br /> rezoned , excerbating the above problems . <br /> My home and property are the largest single investment <br /> I will ever make . I worked many years to be able to build <br /> my home . I have only lived in my home for eight months and <br />
