MEMORANDUM <br />TO: JOHN LINK, COUNTY MANAGER <br />BEVERLY BLYTHE, CLERK TO THE COMMISSIONERS <br />, <br />FROM: MARVIN COLLINS, PLANNING DIRECTOR <br />DATE: MAY 23, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: PETITION TO RE -NAME OLD N.C. 86 <br />COPIES: DON POWELL, INFORMATION SERVICES SUPERVISOR <br />LM24�9gp <br />D <br />I received the attached petition on or about May 22 and <br />forwarded it to Don Powell for review and comment. Don's <br />response is attached. <br />I concur with Don's position in that a change to the road <br />name would require address changes for many residents again_. <br />In addition, the proposed name, Old Chapel Hill Road, <br />conflicts with the name given to an existing road. <br />Duplication of road names is to be avoided wherever possible <br />to eliminate confusion on the part of Emergency Services <br />personnel. Since both roads are in the vicinity of Chapel <br />Hill- Carrboro, such a change would probably violate G.S. <br />153A -240 (See #3 of attached statute). <br />If Mr. Haas wishes to speak to this issue at the May 29 <br />public hearing, he is entirely within his rights. However, if <br />the Board of Commissioners wishes to seriously consider such <br />a change, a separate public hearing would be required (See <br />attached G.S. 153A -240). <br />If you have questions, let me know. <br />
