Carmel Baptist Church, gave brief comments about the <br /> 48 history of the church property. The property, before 1777 was considered Orange County. Then it was changed to <br /> 49 Chatham County. Two hundred forty-four years later it changed back to Orange County but was unzoned at that time. It <br /> 50 has been difficult at times to do everyday projects or building projects and deal with two jurisdictions. The property is <br /> 51 4.66 acres and has been in continuous church use. There will be no change to the regular use of the church. <br /> 52 <br /> 53 Charity Kirk: I'm just curious why you are trying to get into Orange County rather than Chatham County, because it <br /> 54 seems like the zoning is easier in Chatham. <br /> 55 <br />
