Northwestern <br />Triangle Chapter <br />North Carolina Society of Surveyors, Inc. <br />Please address reply to: <br />Jerry W. Davis, RLS <br />President, Northwestern Chapter of <br />North Carolina Society of,Surveyors <br />P.O. Box 14005 <br />Research Triangle Park, N.C. 27709 <br />November 21, 1991 <br />Orange County Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />I want to thank you for hearing us on the proposed Subdivision <br />Regulations Ordinance Amendment before you. North.Carolina Society of <br />Surveyors and our local chapter, the Northwestern Triangle Chapter, <br />have both been working with Mary Scearbo on this. She sent us an early <br />version of the draft proposal in August. On August 29, Gary Thompson, <br />President of North Carolina Society of Surveyors, Alois Callemyn, <br />Chairman of our Chapter committee on this topic, and Linda Edmondson, <br />Chapter Committee member, met with Ms. Scearbo, Geof Gledhill, and <br />Betty June Hayes. The draft before you now incorporates many of the <br />ideas that came up in that discussion. Our Chapter commends the <br />Planning Department and the other public officials for their productive <br />attitude of cooperation.,, <br />Ms. Scearbo also sent us this latest draft. With several excep- <br />tions, we think it is a very workable Ordinance Amendment. If the two <br />minor revisions we suggest below are made, our Chapter can endorse this <br />Amendment wholeheartedly., <br />The rewrite of G.S. 47 -30 went into effect October 1. The North <br />Carolina Society of Surveyors worked for seven years with the Register <br />of Deeds Association on this rewrite. The N'. C. State Board of Regis- <br />tration for Professional Engineers and" Land­­ Surveyors, the N. C. <br />Property Mappers Association, the N. C. Bar.Association, and the Land <br />Records Management Division of (now) the Secretary of State's office, <br />also worked closely with us.' The purpose of the rewrite was to bring <br />the information required on recorded plats up to date, to make the <br />plats more long - lasting, to make the plats easier to index and store, <br />to make the plats less susceptible to unauthorized alteration, and to <br />encourage more of these important plats to be recorded and to be <br />preserved for the public. <br />s <br />
