42 From: Matt Cartmill To: Buckhorn Studv Cc: Matt Cartmill Subject: [EXTERNAL MAIL!]Areas C,D,and E Date: Sunday,May 23,2021 11:06:09 PM At the recent meeting held by the County Planning Department to receive public input on the Buckhorn Area Study, it was stated that areas C.D,and E,the three easternmost study areas in the original Buckhom Area Plan,were being removed from consideration for the time being. I am writing to stress that these areas should be permanently and explicitly removed from Buckhom Area economic-development planning. All three drain immediately into critically protected watersheds. None of the three contains the infrastructure necessary for either commercial or dense-residential development and exploitation. With respect to Area E in particular,the city planning departments of both Mebane and Hillsborough have expressly denied any intention of bringing in either water or sewer in the immediate or foreseeable future. Any Buckhorn Area Study that emerges from the current planning should exclude these three areas,included in the original plan,from further consideration. Matt Cartmill, Hillsborough.
