3 t <br /> ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT ll�� <br /> 306F REVERE ROAD �1 <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br /> Dear Resident; <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 <br /> Orange County addresses. To date twenty eight (28) postal routes have been converted <br /> to street addresses. Additionally, all new homes and businesses on single lots and <br /> all new subdivisions have been assigned street addresses adhering to the county-wide <br /> system. All addresses are computer-maintained and are now being used to support the <br /> vital functions (voter registration, tax records, 911 emergency) as well as mail <br /> delivery by the appointed postal service areas. With the Board of_ Commissioners' <br /> approval of the Mebane rural route changes, all of Orange County will have permanent <br /> street addresses and rural routes and box numbers will be a thing of the past. <br /> Mebane Rural Routes 2,3,5,6 and 7 are now being proposed for conversion to house <br /> numbers. On Monday, February 25, 1991, a Public Hearing will be held before the <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house <br /> numbers to residences and buildings on the five (5) Routes extending into orange <br /> County served by the Mebane Post Office. The- hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. in <br /> 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 <br /> numbers. This change will improve mail delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster <br /> access to addresses. Residents will be required to display their new number on their <br /> mailbox with numerals at least one (1) inch high. <br /> The proposed NEW ADDRESS which reflects the Physical location of your residence at <br /> tax map reference is as follows <br /> OLD ADDRESS NEW ADDRESS <br /> If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal, please attend the Public Hearing. <br /> We ask, however, that you confine your comments to specific concerns regarding the <br /> assigned house number or street address. If you require additional information about <br /> the general process of route conversion or assigned house numbers, please contact one <br /> of the Planning Department staff members below. <br /> Miriam Coleman (Extension 2576) or Beth McFarland (Extension 2578) Orange County <br /> Planning 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.
