--<-- Mr. Carey: Go right ahead. - Mr. Bell: The question I have is Can the County working with the other Planning Boards find someway to implement the suggestion of Spence Dickinson so that these people who have been impacted and have borne the brunt of this can be • compensated fairly for their land to find other homes. I think that's very important and I would support that in anyway that we can. I would like to ask that the County look into that and work with the land conservancy or whoever to do this because if we're to benefit from this then I think we should perhaps try to find a way that it can be paid for. The other thing I wanted to do was to express the thanks of many people for a tremendous job of 2 or 3 years of effort in putting together the buffer zone plan and I am very hopeful that the people that put this together can keep it together. Thank you very much. Mr. Carey: The next person is Mr. Chet Cavallito. • Chet Cavallito: I represent myself and a few neighbors in the area just to the east of Old 86 and just to the west of the area that is colored. I believe the Commissioners and the residents of these areas are at least entitled to let the paint there dry before it is smeared and changed. We're not talking .about changing a node, there's a whole gerrymandering stretch there, which without much extension will extend from the northern edge of Chapel Hill to almost the southern edge of Hillsborough. There are a total of 3 so-called nodes or intersections in that area. In regard to the changes proposed who knows what might be necessary 10 years from now or even less. As of now, other than possibly making some adjustment to those people directly impacted by that change. I think the joint planning groups that were involved in creating this certainly are to be commended and supported to the extent that is feasible and reasonably possible. I appreciate hearing from the gentlemen representing Teer that they have an investment here. Considering it was purchased in 1984 I believe he 1984, h said, perhaps s that at show d be categorized as a speculation rather than as an investment since the direction of this was already taken was quite evident. Certainly living in proximity Y g p xa.mity of the highway is noisy. I lived in Connecticut for a number of years and some of the most expensive real estate in the country is right • along the Merid Parkway going through Connecticut where.the houses are right smack next to the Parkway and if you think your housing is expensive here don't try to buy one up there. The other thing is trading highway noise for blasting noise. Highway noise, for the most part, travels through the air, blasting noise travels through the air, it travels through the rocks, and Mr. Carey: Mr. Cavallito -
