kEV• <br /> DISTRIBUTED /f, 3514 Bluestone Court EiVED <br /> • <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br /> March 3, 1989 <br /> • • <br /> • <br /> Mr. Moses Carey, Chairman <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 106 East Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Carey, <br /> • <br /> This letter is to express our concern over permitting the rezoning <br /> of the property on New Hope Church Road and Old_NC 10 from rural . . _ . <br /> residential to ten-year transitional. <br /> We are long term residents of Orange County and strongly support the <br /> Commissioner's plan to maintain and extend the rural buffer. And, <br /> because we are proponents of consistent residential growth, we <br /> advocate retaining the current rural residential zoning. <br /> We are already somewhat worried about the increased traffic if the <br /> land is developed as rural residential. Old NC 10 can be treacherous <br /> at bends and underpasses and New Hope Church Road will be the direct <br /> route to 1-40 past the new elementary school. <br /> We are strongly opposed to any urban growth that also yields gas <br /> stations, convenience stores, etc. We anticipate that rezoning <br /> would promote a "strip" connecting Durham and Hillsborough because <br /> of the proximity of this land to both cities! <br /> In summary, we oppose any development that would threaten the <br /> permanence of the rural buffer or the use of the Duke Forest lands. <br /> Sinc-rely, <br /> • _ . -ra -1) <br /> ars and Susan Knowles <br /> • <br /> 1 <br /> • <br /> • <br />
