1 <br /> November 25, 1983 <br /> • <br /> Planning Board <br /> Orange Courlaty Planning Department • <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Board Members: <br /> I will not be able to attend the Public Hearing scheduled for Monday, <br /> November 28, 1983. Still, I wish to submit some thoughts for your <br /> consideration regarding a R-1 to R-8 rezoning request by J.P. Goforth. <br /> My wife and I own approximately 10 acres on the south side of Weaver <br /> Dairy Road; just across from the Coventry development (Map 25-2A). <br /> • We are concerned that high intensity development along Weaver Dairy <br /> Road might be of such density that the road would become hazardous. <br /> It is with this perspective that we are asking the Board to support no <br /> greater that R-5 residential zoning for any property with direct <br /> • <br /> access to eaver Dairy Road, and we offer the following arguments: <br /> 1. Arterills (as Weaver Dairy Road is designated) are "characterized <br /> • by relatively high travel speed with minimum interference to <br /> through traffic." <br /> 2. An estimated 1,491 to 1,536 vehicles per day from this property <br /> represents 15% of the total capacity of Weaver Dairy Road feeding <br /> the <br /> n arterial at a single point. <br /> 3. The access point to Weaver Dairy Road from this property is within <br /> one-half mile of Tymberline Shopping Center, which could easily <br /> conttlibute an equal if not larger number of cars to this arterial. <br /> Thank you or the opportunity to have these points considered in your <br /> deliberatidns... <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles Pulliam • <br />
