Collins <br /> Planning Director <br /> Orange Codnty Planning Department <br /> Hillsborough, -N. C. 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Collins: <br /> We writing in regard to the rezoning request of Mr. James <br /> P. Goforth cited in your memorandum of November 15, 1983 to the <br /> Orange CoJnty Planning Board. Our comments on the proposed rezonin. <br /> of the 44..tt acre tract on the North side of Weaver Dairy Road and <br /> South of the 1-40 corridor are as follows: <br /> 1) An RE5 zoning would appear to be mpre appropriate than the <br /> prop sed R-8 designation given the character of the surroundi g <br /> deve opments. <br /> 2) Our greatest concern is that development of the tract in <br /> question be done in such a way that the relative privacy of <br /> the elderly residents of Carol Woods be preserved by adequate <br /> preservation of trees and appropriate distancing of new units <br /> from the Carol Woods property line. Mr. Goforth has given <br /> us assurances on these subjects. <br /> 3) Assuming that an R-5 designation is made and given the assurances <br /> as stated above, we would be supportive of a change in zoning <br /> froml the present R-1 statu.s. Mr. Goforth has a reputation as <br /> a builder of quality housing; and we would expect that this <br /> property would be developed in a way that will preserve, and <br /> possibly even enhance, the residential character of our <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Please feel free to call on us if you have any questions or a <br /> need for fliarther information on this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 46_ <br /> John A. Diffey <br /> Executive Director <br /> JAD/jbn <br /> Copy to: grange County Planning Board <br /> (presented 11/28/83 at public <br /> Hearing) <br />
