Peter M. Pickens <br />3004 Cool Spring Drive <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />September 25, 1992 <br />Dear Members of the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners: <br />Please vote against the proposed University Station <br />development which, unfortunately, was recently approved by <br />our seemingly pro - growth - oriented Orange County Planning <br />Board. I know there is water and sewer available now, but <br />this village golf course development is no more right for <br />Orange County today than the retirement golf course <br />development proposed on the same property in 1989 - which was <br />rejected btu you, hopefully because of your committment to the <br />good of maintaining a rural buffer between Hillsborough and <br />Chapel Hill. Surely you believe that this goal is just as <br />imperative now as it was then. And this newly proposed <br />development, despite its many lures, is even worse in concept <br />than the previous one, because it now includes not just high <br />density condos and apartments, but businesses and office <br />buildings as well. I believe that this proposed village golf <br />course development -if approved -would irreversably smear any <br />real distintion between urban and rural, commercial and <br />residential in this part of Orange County. As I wrote you <br />back in 1989, Ten Year Transition status for this huge <br />development is not a good idea and not in the best interests <br />of the health of Orange County. I hope you still agree. <br />Sincerely, 4'�� <br />
