B^?K 7 PAGE D9 Tyson Clayton, Secretary of the Board of Adjustments, presented the following letter which was read by Chairman Bennett: "The Orange County Board of Adjustment at its meeting on Thursday, August 22, 1968, voted to call to the attention of the County Commissioners that there seems to be some confusion about the type of development that will take place in the area of Triangle Nursing Home No. II. The evidence of this consists of the appearance of the same group on at least two occasions before the Board of Adjustment, and the fact that the area is within the New Hope Creek watershed. It appears to the Board of Adjustment that the area should be studied by the Planning Board for rezoning into specific districts. The Board feels that there will be additional cases coming before the Board unless the area is rezoned. The Board of Adjustment respectfully requests the Board of Commissioners to ask the Planning Board to study the area in question to determine whether rezoning would be advisable." This matter was taken under advisement. Tyson Clayton, Zoning officer, reported on the matter of Landmark, Inc. relative to the revoking of the building permit which had been granted by Orange County. Tyson Clayton submitted his resignation as Zoning Officer for Orange County. The County Administrator recommended that the resignation of Mr. Clayton as Zoning Officer be accepted and that the Board appoint Norman Long as Zoning Officer for Orange County with said appointment being immediately effective. Upon motion of Commissioner Ray, seconded by Commissioner Smith, it was moved and unanimously adopted that the recommendation of the County Administrator relative to the resignation of Mr. Clayton be accepted and that Norman Long be appointed, as of this date, as the Zoning Officer for Orange County. he following persons were present: A.
