ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br />306F REVERE ROAD 029 <br />HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br />IS i_ i <br />i <br />Dear Resident: r.. <br />In April, 1987, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a House Numbering <br />Ordinance which authorizes the conversion of rural routes and box numbers for all Orange <br />County addresses. To date twenty (20) postal routes have been converted to street <br />addresses. Additionally, all new homes and businesses on single lots and all new <br />subdivisions have been assigned street addresses adhering to the county -wide system. All <br />addresses are computer - maintained and are now being used to support the vital functions <br />(voter registration, tax records, 911 emergency) as well as mail delivery by the appointed <br />postal service areas. Within the year, all of Orange County will have street addresses and <br />rural routes and box numbers will be a thing of the past. <br />Hillsborough Rural Route 7 is now being proposed for conversion to house numbers. On <br />Tuesday, May 29, 1990, a Public Hearing will be held before the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house numbers to residences and <br />buildings on Rural Route 7 served by the Hillsborough Post Office. The hearing will be <br />held at 7:30 p.m. in the Superior Courtroom of the New County Courthouse in Hillsborough. <br />If approved, the house numbers will replace the old system of rural routes and box numbers. <br />This change will improve mail delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster access to <br />addresses. Residents will be required to display their new number on their mailbox with <br />numerals at least one (1) inch high. <br />The proposed NEW ADDRESS which reflects the physica-1 location of your residence at tax map <br />reference is as follows: <br />QLD ADDRESS NEW ADDRESS <br />If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal, please attend the Public Hearing. We ask, <br />however, that you confine your comments to specific concerns regarding the assigned house <br />number or street address. If you require additional information about the general process <br />of route conversion or assigned house numbers, please contact one of the Planning <br />Department staff members below. <br />Miriam Coleman (Extension 2576) or Beth McFarland (Extension 2578) Orange County Planning <br />Department <br />306 -F Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />Phone: Hillsborough 732 -8181 Mebane 227 -2031 <br />Chapel Hill 967 -9251 Durham 688 -7331 <br />Sincerely, <br />• Marvin E.
