Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Re: L&W Mobile Home Park; Sanitary Sewer Services Issue <br />Dear Mr. Link: <br />This Fixm represents the L&W Mobile Home Park and its proprietor, Wayne Paschall, <br />with respect to Mr. Paschall's efforts to have the City of Durhaln°s sanitary sewer line extended <br />a short distance (a few hundred yards) into Orange County so as to provide public sanitary sewer <br />services to the mobile home pazk:. The mobile home park is located on Old Highway 10, just <br />south of U.S. Highway 70 and just west of N.C. Highway 751 in Orange County, where it has <br />been in operation for more than 30 years, the last 3 years under Mr. Paschall's ownership. As <br />you may be aware, the L&W Mobile Home Park is currently engaged in administrative <br />proceedings with the Orange County Health Department arising from the condition of the septic <br />systems which serve some of the units in the mobile home park. In fact, on April 30, 2001, a <br />hearing was conducted with the Orange County Board of Health concerning its determination <br />that several units in the mobile home park needed to be vacated due to failing septic systems. If <br />that remedy were imposed, the mobile home park would likely be forced to shut dawn <br />completely and its remaining tenants displaced. <br />On May 17, 2001, we met with the entire Orange County Boazd of Health to discuss this <br />issue. At that meeting, the Orange County Board of Health adopted a resolution which <br />essentially postponed a decision on whether to order the mobile home pazk to disconnect several <br />units from the septic system and vacate those units while we try to arrange to connect the mobile <br />home park to a proposed extension of Durham's sanitary sewer system. Although I do not yet <br />have a copy of the Orange County Boazd of Health's resolution adopted on May 17, I expect to <br />receive one soon and anticipate that you will be hearing from the Board of Health, too. <br />I write this letter to you to ask your assistance in seeking and obtaining the support of the <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners for Mr. Paschall's effort to reach an agreement with the <br />brough~broughlawfirm.mm <br />morgan@broughlawfirm.com <br />hermat~~broughlawfirm.mm <br />hornik@braughlawfirm.wm <br />
