r <br />2. Traffic : <br />It has been suggested that at least 2000 vehicles will be <br />added to the traffic, which would result in one vehicle per six <br />seconds passing Stoneycreek Road and the new elementary school on <br />New Hope Church Road. Even now, we have a difficult time entering <br />New Hope Church Road because of poor visibility. We can just see <br />that the increase in traffic on this road will turn it into a <br />potential death trap. <br />The developers will not be responsible for this outcome, but we <br />hope you will give it due considerations. <br />3. Police and Fire protection : <br />If we assume three people per unit, the new development <br />will have about 4000 people. What protection can be provided for <br />them? What will be the effect on crime in the area? <br />We hope that this will be considered very carefully by you, <br />before you make a decision that will affect our lives. <br />4. Schools : <br />How many children will be added to the Orange County school <br />system from a 1300 unit development ? Will a new school need to <br />be built to accommodate the additional 1300 children if we assume <br />just one child per household ? Certainly the new model school on <br />New Hope Church Road will not be able to absorb them . <br />We hope that you will consider this very carefully before making <br />your recommendation. <br />These are our main concerns. We have bought land and built <br />a home here because we were attracted to the low density of <br />housing and the rural character of the area. This does not mean <br />that we are against further development. But we like to see it <br />happen in an orderly, well thought out fashion. Damping the <br />highest density development in the county at our door stop in a <br />hurry, in an effort to secure development for its own sake will <br />only result in turmoil and will jeopardize any future attempts at <br />an orderly process. <br />We hope that you will consider our point of view and that <br />YOU will weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a deci- <br />sion in this matter. <br />4 <br />-Sincerely, <br />e_�� Alice Michalish <br />"'�[�"` Zygmunt Michalish <br />2227 Graystone Lane <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />
