Franklin St. #1200B • Chapel Hill, NC 27514 • (919)932.7077, Fa,x (919)932.7079 • infoQorangehabitat org February 13, 2006 Mr. Gene Bell Orange Cormty Planning Department P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 Dear Mr. Bell, This letter is submitted as a request from Habitat for Humanity of Orange County to be placed on the May 11 `h agenda for the .Joint Public Heazing for approval of a revision to our original rezoning and Special Use Permit for the Rusch Hollow subdivision, As you are aware, the County and Town previously approved a rezoning to the R-SS-C zoning district for Rusch Hollow, our development of affordable homes in the Rogers Road community.. We are nearing completion of the twelve single- family homes. In addition to the twelve single-family lots, Rusch Hollow also includes one lot designated for a duplex, and one designated for a triplex. Both the duplex and triplex will be rentals for households with special needs. The lot we have designated for construction of the triplex, lot 3, has proved to be too small to accommodate even the modest single-family homes that Habitat typically builds. We have subsequently acquired the lot behind Lot #3 and are proceeding with a "Recombination Plat", attached, which will allow us to build on lot 3 and to the meet the original objectives as approved in the SUP. We will be submitting a revised SUP to the Town of Chapel Hill, plus a revised development application with no major changes in the development size or scope, other than we will increase the size of lot #3 by approximately 10,000 sq.ft. for a new total of approximately 15,400 sq ft. Please send me confirmation that you have received this request and that we are'oeing placed on the agenda for the .Joint Public Hearing on May 11 `h of 2006. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely, Susan Levy Executive D
