Margaret Lee Lane Hillsborough, NC 27276 Dear Mr. Cannity: Southern Bell Telephone Cornj. uy is beginning to use a new piece of telephone technology called a Subscriber Loop Carrier (SLC-06) This equipment allows us to take the existing cable (underground) and run it through this equipment (SLC hut) back into the ground, thus expanding the telephone facilities. This expansion is necessary to keep up With the demand for telephone service in i2-;a growth areas of Orange County and in North Carolina These SLC huts requi.,e no water, no sewer facilities and no personnel, except when maintenance is necessary. As you can see, this equipment is primarily an expansion of the cable located underground. We have already located these huts in other counties of the state; and in Guilford, Wake, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Richmond, Robeson, Cleveland, those units are permitted in all zoning areas. For example, there are 24 of these huts in Guilford County now, with more planned fox late 1982 and 1963, The life of this technology will probably be 50 years or longer, so when negotia- ting with land owners for land to locate SLC's on, we use three methods: Pee Simple Title - long term, gives owner first right of refusal Easements - long term, owner retains ownership Lease - long term, owner retains ownership Since we use no water or sewer, our presence on a lot would not affect your sewage ' 11.ups or the land's r dlity to absorb waste through the use of a sptic Also, because of the long-term usage of the land, approximately 50 years, par- haps in the cases where the original landowner would not choose to exercise • the first right of refusal, would it be possible that in 50 years or longer a Jot 100 feet by 150 feet would not be substandard?
