Sincerely, <br /> <br />Jeanette Coffin <br /> <br /> <br />Jeanette Coffin <br />Receptionist/Secretary <br />Town of Chapel Hill Manager’s Office <br />405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />(o) 919-968-2743 | (f) 919-969-2063 <br /> <br /> <br />From: Debbie Mozgala [mailto:debbiedaisymozgala@att.net] <br />Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2015 2:39 PM <br />To: Town Council <br />Subject: a good compromise on option B JPA Membership <br /> <br />Hello, <br />I live in the JPA Chapel Hill map area. I would like to suggest a good compromise on the Option B for the <br /> Joint Planning Area Membership. Please consider this compromise. <br />If we are to use Option B but to retain the title on the individual seats <br /> on the Chapel Hill Planning Commission and Chapel Hill Board of <br /> Adjustment as having JPA/ETJ status. Which means the persons <br /> filling those seats, if they do remain vacant after 90 days of being <br /> available to JPA or ETJ residents, those people would be responsible <br /> to represent the interests of JPA/ETJ residents. The seat would retain <br /> their titles as JPA/ETJ representatives, even if after this 90 day vacant <br /> period lapsed and the seats were then filled by Chapel Hill residents. <br />If you you do not agree with this compromise, I, plus my neighbors would like to know why we would be <br /> denied this representation in our own Town's government. And not just because we are outnumbered in <br /> population and acreage. Our countryside landscapes of rolling hills of farms, woods, forest, fields, <br /> creeks, streams, ponds add immeasurably to the aesthetic value and harmony of our Chapel Hill <br /> Community as a whole. These peaceful lands cannot be held in comparison to the Town's lands that are <br /> weaved with shoppes, traffic lights, cookie cutter neighborhoods upon a mixture of asphalt and cement. <br /> JPA/ETJ areas are greatly different in form, and function than Chapel Hill In-Town Limits.The interests <br /> and environments of the JPA/ETJ people need to have their own representative, because unless you live <br /> there, you just don't get it and you won't understand what we want and why we want it. <br />Respectfully, <br />Debbie Mozgala <br /> <br />This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. <br />www.avast.com <br /> <br /> 70
