ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT r 306F REVERE ROAD 9 HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 fE ; - Dear Resident: F In April, 1987, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a House Numbering Ordinance which authorizes the conversion of rural routes and box numbers for all Orange.County addresses. To date twenty eight (28) postal routes have been converted to street addresses. Additionally, all new homes and businesses on single lots and all new subdivisions have been assigned street addresses adhering to the county -wide system. All addresses are computer - maintained and are now being used to support the vital functions (voter registration, tax records, 911 emergency) as well as mail delivery by the appointed postal service areas. With the Board of. Commissioners' approval of the Mebane rural route changes, all of Orange County will have permanent street addresses and rural routes and box numbers will be a thing of the past. Mebane Rural Routes 2,3,5,6 and 7 are now being proposed for conversion to house numbers. On Monday, February 25, 1991, a Public Hearing will be held before the Orange County Board of Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house numbers to residences and buildings on the five (5) Routes extending into Orange County served by the Mebane Post office. The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Superior Courtroom of the New County Courthouse in Hillsborough. If approved, the house numbers will replace the old system of rural routes and box numbers. This change will improve mail delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster access to addresses. Residents will be required to display their new number on their mailbox with numerals at least one (1) inch high. The proposed NEW ADDRESS which reflects the ghvsical location of your residence at tax map reference is as follows OLD ADDRESS NEW ADDRESS If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal, please attend the Public Hearing. we ask, however, that you confine your comments to specific concerns regarding the assigned house number or street address.
