. . , <br /> • <br /> 4019 Stoneycreek Rd. <br /> Chapel Hill , NC 27514 <br /> April 6, 1989 <br /> Orange County Commissioners <br /> Hillsborough, NC <br /> Dear Commissioners: <br /> There are undoubtedly going to be numerous attempts to undo <br /> the carefully laid plans of the Commissioners, Planning Board and <br /> other people who have successfully drawn up a comprehensive Land <br /> Use Plan for Orange County and to fragment/penetrate the Rural <br /> Buffer which is part of this plan. <br /> ._ <br /> Such an attempt is now before you with the proposal of the <br /> Envirotech people to build a gas station/convenience store at the <br /> 1-40/New Hope Church intersection. <br /> I believe that two basic questions must be addressed by these <br /> developers before you should even consider their proposal : <br /> 1. Why is the gas station/store needed? There are adequate <br /> facilities nearby, particularly with the new center being <br /> planned near Old B6 and I-135. Who wants the facility, other <br /> than the developers? <br /> 2. Why should the Land Use Plan and Rural Buffer plan be <br /> abandoned? What overriding circumstances justify putting this <br /> facility within the Rural Buffer? <br />� | <br /> Unless Envirotech can clearly answer at least these two <br /> ! questions to everyone's satisfaction, I personally see no reason <br /> for considering - let alone approving - their proposal . I hope <br /> that there are not political considerations which will affect the <br /> ( decision of this proposal . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ~ ~_-_ _ <br /> Roy��. __, ~ -��~Roth <br />
