will also include those that you give to us tonight, Ms. Prioli, the next person is Mr. James Shrinburg. Ms. Prioli: I would like to speak on behalf of my family and one of two other residents of Stoneycreek. I also am a member of the Neighborhood Association of Stoneycreek. I have a letter I would just like to read into the records. " To the Orange County Commissioners, we support the present Land Use Plan which governs the note of the intersection of New Hope Church Road and 1-40. This node is zoned Agricultural, we do not support changing the Rural Buffer in any way with any commercial, or industrial type businesses. We do not want the zoning at this node changed or even partly changed. We live in north Orange County because we like the agricultural atmosphere and scenery and we want to remain that way". Thank you and I will put this into the records. Mr. Carey: - O.K. Mr. Swenberg and the next person is Ms. Ginnie Sellars. Mr. Swenberg: Thank you Mr. Chairman. My land is adjacent to this land that is being proposed for the change. We own the land that is on New Hope Creek that adjoins the pink area there. I would like to commend the Orange County Planning Board for their recommendation for denial of this change. We purchased this land approximately 2 years ago after the decision was made that this would not be a commercial node because we wanted the rural character of the land. Yes, there have been negative impacts of 1-40 and we hear it, not quite as much as Jack does but certainly when the wind is from the east or from the north I guarantee you we hear it a lot more than we would like to. I don't want to trade that for having commercial activities and a rock quarry right up the road from me so. I-have to hear that in addition. If a rock quarry goes in there, we would be seeing 80 to 100 trucks a day going down that road in addition to what's already there. That would be a very negative impact. Currently we have approximately 18 Canadian honkers that fly over at least 4. times a day. They are probably going to be diverted if this commercial use goes through here because • they'll not want to go past shopping centers. We have a wonderful creek there that we don't need disturbed further and I would ask very much that you deny this proposal. Mr. Carey-Mr. Schwinburg, for the record, I would like to say . that the Planning Board has not made a recommendation on this matter yet. The recommendation that you heard was the . . Planning Staff recommendation. Ms. Sellars and next is John Blackwood. Ms. Sellars: Good Evening, my name is Ginnie Sellars and I'm representing my family and the heirs of Benjamin Neville. I received this letter a few weeks ago and its says that our properties about 500 feet from one of the listing in the, but they didn't specify which one. Ili •
