DORSEY, Executive Director <br />1216 Duplin Road <br />Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 <br />(919) 787 -5657 <br />May 26, 1992 <br />Mr. Moses Carey, Jr., Chairperson <br />Orange County Commission <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />We are writing to you in regard to the proposed impact <br />fees to fund, the Orange County Schools. Capital Area <br />Manufactured Housing Association is not opposed to financial <br />support of public education by the citizens, both private and <br />corporate. Public education in North Carolina needs much time, <br />money and attention to improve the performance of our students. <br />However, it appears that the Orange County proposal for impact <br />fees singles out new residential construction as a way to pay <br />for the education of all children. This certainly seems unfair <br />and discriminatory. <br />The manufactured housing industry works everyday to make <br />safe, attractive and durable housing more affordable for people <br />who want to own a home. It appears that impact fees, in the <br />amounts being proposed, will certainly make it much more <br />difficult for working people to qualify for a loan to purchase <br />any home. <br />We are also concerned that the proposed fee schedule showed <br />a higher fee for a three bedroom manufactured home than for <br />a three bedroom single family home. This seems odd and would <br />appear to further discriminate against manufactured housing. <br />We would like to register our opposition to the proposed <br />fees as we understand them today. We do support public education <br />and the opportunity for the citizens of Orange County to be <br />able to afford a home of their own. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Sincerely, <br />ale Martin <br />CAMHA President <br />
