ASSIGNMENT OF HOUSE & BUILDING NUMBERS <br />1. Rural Route 7 - Hillsborough <br />2. Rural Routes 1 & 7 - Durham_ <br />This presentation was made by Marvin Collins. In summary this item was <br />presented to receive citizen comment on proposed house and building numbers to be <br />assigned to Orange County Rural Route 7 served by the Hillsborough Post Office and <br />Rural Routes 1 and 7 (partial) served by the Durham Post Office. <br />QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE'BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND PLANNING BOARD <br />Commissioner Hartwell indicated that he has received inquires about road names. <br />Collins informed the Board that if a road was previously named, a Public Hearing wo ld <br />be needed to change the name. For a road without a name, the wishes of citizens wh <br />live on that road would be taken into account. <br />Chris Best stated that he felt the Emergency Management employees would greatly <br />benefit from a one -time training class which would explain the new Enhanced 911 <br />system. They need to have a thorough understanding of the grid system in each <br />district so that they can continue to serve the public in the shortest amount of tine <br />possible. <br />Chairman Carey indicated that he had received several letters from citizens who were <br />scheduled for address changes. These people do not feel confident that this will be <br />the last time their addresses will change. <br />COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS C <br />Mr. Bob Haas indicated that when he first moved to this area the road he lived on <br />was called Old Chapel Hill Road. Over the years the road has gradually come to be <br />known as Old 86. He spoke in opposition to this road being officially named Old 86. <br />He stated that he believed it was confusing to have two roads with such similar names. <br />Mr. Mark Johnson, a Chapel Hill resident and a member of .the Cornwallis Hills <br />Property Owners Association, spoke in opposition to the renumbering in their <br />development. He suggested that the numbers not be changed in that portion of <br />Cornwallis Hills which is developed. A letter from the Cornwallis Hills Property <br />Owners Association outlining their opposition to this renumbering is in the permanent <br />agenda file in the Clerk's office. <br />
