-- --- -- _ _._ ___ _.PAGE 23- <br /> everybody for indulging me with my remarks tonight. I <br /> appreciate it. <br /> Mr. Carey: Yes Sir. <br /> Jim Swenberg: Once again, I would like to bring up one other <br /> alternative that hasn't been mentioned but the County could <br /> be a big help to everyone here. That is working with the <br /> Department of Transportation, and putting up some natural <br /> barriers for sound to reduce these problems for the parties <br /> that are impacted and all of the rest of us. <br /> Mr. Carey: The next item to come before the Public Hearing <br /> tonight is Item Dl. b. cazwell, Incorporated Land Use Plan, <br /> Mr. Collins. <br /> Dl. B. LUP-5-89 CAZWELL, . INCORPORATED <br /> Mr. Carey: Public questions for Mr. Collins, we will ask <br /> Carol Ann Zinn to come forward and make any comments you <br /> would like to make. <br /> Carol Zinn: My name is Carol Ann Zinn and I'm president of <br /> Cazwell Development, which is the developer of Montvale. I <br /> appreciate the opportunity to speak to you tonight. i have a <br /> couple of comments that I have prepared before you folks made <br /> your comments and I would like to speak first from the <br /> prepared comments then also to talk a little bit about some <br /> of the things that are your concerns. i don't know to what <br /> extent the people here have read this very thick print-out <br /> that came before today's meeting, but I would like to give <br /> you a little history about Montvale. It says, it's currently <br /> a 27 lot subdivision that went through the approval process <br /> in the city of Durham; it is served by Durham City Sewer, <br /> individual wells, public 'service gas, so it has the sewer <br /> which is not something that anything else the rural buffer <br /> has. It is bordered on the west by Curly Road. Because of a <br /> freak of geography, the County line which divides Orange and <br /> Durham counties does not follow Curly Road. So Montvale <br /> backs up onto Curly Road but the County line kind of <br /> straddles that road. Therefore, a tiny sliver of orange <br /> County crosses the four lots in Montvale that we're talking <br /> about. Each of these four lots have a portion of land in <br /> Orange County, but most of the land is in Durham County. But <br /> the entire Montvale subdivision has only 6% in Orange County. <br /> 94% is in Durham County and Durham City. Lot 27, we don't <br /> . have a map of the subdivision here but it is now a 27 lot <br /> • subdivision. Lot 27 as shown on our final plat it over <br /> 60,000 square feet while the other lots are approximately <br /> 30,000 or more square feet. It's twice as large as the other <br /> Montvale lots. It was intended, originally, that this be 2 <br /> 30,000 square foot lots, Lot 27 and lot 28 but because of the <br /> fact that this line straddles Modville a very small portion <br /> of what was to the part of what was to be like 28 is in the <br />
