• ti f • 28 Mr. Marvin Collins, Planning Director April 7, 1989 Page 2 wood trees where cornfields once grew is living evidence the land has not been farmed for more than 60 years-, the age of the trees. While none of it has ever been "managed" forest land, between 30 and 50 yearn ago there was some harvesting of pine in such a way as to. facilitate maturing of the remaining hardwoods and add to the natural beauty of the area as potential building sites. • In reference to "population density," while more of the pri.. mart' amendment property is in Eno Township, both parcels of sub- ject land are .in Chapel Hill Township. I understand Chapel Hill Township has experienced a population growth of 3.05% per year since 1970, or a- 57.95% increase to the current total of 66,?40. With the opening of 1-40 it seems reasonable to expect population growth in the neighborhood to increase at a faster rate. Con- cerning "new sub-divisions within a two-mile radius," the subject land lies between the Strayhorn Hills and Windy Hill Farm develop- ments. At the Public Meeting on February 27 of this year, Mr« Collins, you suggested the railroad spur line to the East of subject property as.- an appropriate boundary for extending the Transition Area; and, • indeed that line does coincide with the boundary for the Hillsborough Utility Service Area-. Based on all of the foregoing, therefore, I respectfully request that the subject property be included in the current reclassification to the Transition Area.. I thank you, and each person who will be considering this re- quest, for your time and attention to this matter. • Yours sincerely, • • ef:07.„„_,,v___„—• Philip D.
