Teny Road isn't a manufactured <br />suburban enclave of development, it's a rural, country road. It may not have an NC 'Scenic I3ighwa~' <br />designation, but its rural character is beautiful nonetheless. What development that has taken place over the <br />years has preserved, rather Haan detracted &om, that natural beauty. <br />The proposed Montessori school bas no place on Terry Road. The increase in traff c, and the need for left turns, <br />will clog the morning and afternnon commutes and combine to increase the risk of accidents. Terry was not <br />designed to handle this type and level of traffic. <br />I see no positive reason to change the zoning on Terry Rd. In fact, a change in zoning could be used as precedent <br />for larger, more commercial development. <br />-I am opposed to the request by the school to establish itself on Terry Road. I hope you will respect my position, <br />along with the majority of homeowners and laaadowners on this road, to deny the school's request. <br />Thank you <br />Ann Bushyhead Valentine . <br />1626 Terry Rd. <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />919-732-7193 ' <br />
