013 <br /> Dear Resident: <br /> In April, 1987, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a House Numbering <br /> Ordinance which authorizes the conversion of rural routes and box numbers for all Orange <br /> County addresses. To date eight postal routes have been converted to street addresses. <br /> Additionally, all new homes and businesses on single lots and all new subdivisions have <br /> been assigned street addresses adhering to the county-wide system. All addresses are <br /> computer-maintained and are now being used to support the vital functions (voter <br /> registration, tax records, 911 emergency) as well as mail delivery by the appointed postal <br /> service areas. Within the next two years, all of Orange County will have street addresses <br /> and rural routes and box numbers will be a thing of the past. <br /> Chapel Hill Rural Route 1 is now being proposed for conversion to house numbers. On <br /> Monday, February 27, 1989, a Public Hearing will be held before the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house numbers to residences and <br /> buildings on Rural Route 1 served by the Chapel Hill Post Office on Estes Drive. The <br /> hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Superior Courtroom of the New County Courthouse in <br /> Hillsborough. <br /> If approved, the house numbers will replace the old system of rural route and box numbers. <br /> This change will improve mail delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster access to <br /> addresses. Residents will be required to display their new number on their mailbox with <br /> numerals at least one (1) inch high. <br /> The proposed NEW ADDRESS which reflects the physical location of your residence at tax map <br /> reference is as follows: <br /> OLD ADDRESS NEW ADDRESS <br /> If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal, please attend the Public Hearing. We ask, <br /> however, that you confine your comments to specific concerns regarding the assigned house <br /> number or street address. If you require additional information about the general process <br /> of route conversion or assigned house numbers, please contact one of the Planning <br /> Department staff members below. <br /> Don Powell (Extension 345) or Miriam Coleman (Extension 575) Orange County Planning <br /> Department <br /> 306-F Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> • <br /> Phone: Hillsborough 732-8181 Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill 967-9251 Durham 688-7331 <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Marvin E.
