<br />5 Apri12001 <br />Mr. Craig Benedict <br />Planning Director . <br />Orange County Planning Department <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Benedict: <br />I am seeking approval of a Class A Special Use Permit to allow the Dr. Arch Jordan House, <br />located in the Caldwell community, to be used as a bed and breakfast. The house has a total of five <br />bedrooms, with the business utilizing three of those bedrooms as guest rooms. Maximum guest <br />occupancy will be six people. My family will occupy the remaining two bedrooms. My home was <br />entered in The National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior on August 6, <br />1998 (see certificate in application materials). For these reasons, I have submitted an application for <br />such use with supporting documentation as required. <br />I have worked diligently to comply with all provisions of the ordinance pertaining to such use. <br />Average daily traffic numbers have been submitted by the Department of Transportation. New parking <br />areas are noted on the site plan with overflow parking shown also. The existing private driveway <br />provides adequate circulation and is in good shape although more gravel will be added. Anew septic <br />system was installed and a new well was drilled. All approvals and permitting came dir~tly from the <br />Environmental Health Division of the Orange County Health Department. I will continue to transport <br />solid waste/refuse to the local dump located approximately seven miles from the house. Fire and police <br />protection, as well as emergency rescue service, have all been addressed. <br />Lastly, please know that I love my home and faun. It has been in my family for three <br />generations. Its rural niche has something unique to offer. A pond is situated to the northeast of the <br />house while an abundance of pastureland and hardwood groves surround the remaining. I am a native to <br />Orange County and a farmer at heart having grown up on a tobacco farm in Cedar Grove. I recognize its <br />intrinsic value and plan to be the best possible steward. As such, I will run a most legitimate business <br />which treats this place with the respect it deserves. Additionally, I believe the work I have done thus far <br />has greatly enhanced property values in Caldwell. If my application is approved, I will place an <br />aesthetically pleasing sign in front of the house (see site plan for placement) with the proposed name, <br />"The Olive Branch Inn". Caldwell oldtimers know Ms. Olive Branch to be Ms. Olie, my grandmother. <br />She, too, served the Caldwell community in the 1920s by boarding school teachers that taught at the local <br />Caldwell Academy, formed in the mid 1800s by Dr. Arch Jordan himself. <br />I am very excited about this opportunity and thank you for all of your help. If any further <br />information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 644-1685. Finally, you are to be <br />commended on the hiring of Ms. Tina Moon. She has done a remarkable job of relaying information to <br />me in a most timely manner. Her professionalism far exceeds that to which I am accustomed. I applaud <br />her efforts. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />_~'1 ~ "1 ~ <br />Betty helps Davidson <br />
