Moses Carey, Chairman <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners . <br /> 106 East Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> RE: Statement of the Brown Family Concerning <br /> Proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment Z-2-89, <br /> Agenda Item D4-b and 5-a, Public Hearing of February <br /> 27, 1989 <br /> Dear Commission Carey: <br /> I am a spokesperson for Mrs. Betty T. Brown of Ef land and Mr. <br /> and Mrs. Douglas R. Brown of. Charleston, South Carolina. They are <br /> tenants-in-common of a tract of land situated on the south side of <br /> Seven Mile Creek and shown on Cheeks Township Tax Map 45 as Lot 15. <br /> This tract is part of the Brown farm through which Seven Mile Creek <br /> flows for several thousand feet. They recently received a notice <br /> from the Orange County Planning Department that the Board would be <br /> receiving public testimony on proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment Z-2- <br /> 89. I have been authorized to appear on behalf of Mrs. Brown (who <br /> is my mother) and Mr. and Mrs. Brown (who are my Uncle and Aunt) <br /> and to convey to you the position of the family with regard to this <br /> proposed amendment. <br /> The Brown property abuts in places land acquired by the County <br /> many years ago in anticipation of the construction of a reservoir <br /> on Seven Mile Creek. The County planning staff has proposed to <br /> have the zoning atlas amended to place, its property within the <br /> Public Interest District I ("PID-I") classification. If the zoning <br /> atlas amendment is approved as proposed, the Brown property will <br /> be burdened with a 100 foot buffer along its contiguous boundary <br /> with the county-owned land. There are numerous reasons - some <br /> legal, some practical and some economic - for deleting from the <br /> list of proposed PID I properties this acreage owned by Orange <br /> County. Each of these reasons is detailed below. <br />
