SAWYER <br />(1902 - 1972) <br />July 25, 1990 <br />Ms. Mary Scearbo <br />Planner III <br />Orange County Planning Department <br />306F Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Re: Zoning Ordinance - 10/17/89 amendments <br />related to stop work orders <br />Dear Mary: <br />4 <br />While looking for something else, I ran across <br />Section 2.4.2.1(e) of the Zoning Ordinance. That <br />section calls for the "Development Advisory Committee" <br />to render advice to the Zoning Officer pertaining to <br />the issuance of a stop work order. On or about October <br />51 1989, you sent me a copy of the proposed Board of <br />Commissioners action agenda item abstract dealing with <br />the stop work order revisions to the Zoning Ordinance. <br />We spoke briefly thereafter by telephone. During that <br />telephone conversation I opined that the Development <br />Advisory Committee has really no place in Ordinance <br />enforcement and should not be rendering advice to the <br />Zoning Officer pertaining to stop work orders. <br />Further, I suggested that the power to issue the stop <br />work order should not be repeated in this section. It <br />is included within Article 21 of the Ordinance. <br />I suggest, as a technical correction, that this <br />reference to the stop work order and the authority to <br />issue a stop work order be removed from Section <br />2.4.2.1. <br />GEG /lsg <br />very truly yours, <br />Gledhill <br />
