Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Roscoe and John: <br />Thank you for meeting on October 11, 1999, to discuss the status of the Chatham/ Orange County boundary. I <br />have answers to some of the questions that you raised. <br />You asked if Linda Edmondson, a North Carolina private surveyor, had provided coordinate information for <br />the angle points around the two bubbles in the Chatham / Orange County boundary? Yes, NCGS has obtained <br />that information from Ms. Edmondson. <br />Second, you inquired as to the location of the original composite orthophoto upon which the agreed 1989 <br />Chatham / Orange County boundary was drawn? NCGS has the orthophoto, and it is now in my office. <br />Next, you wondered if Chatham County had a record indicating that the Chatham County Commissioners <br />officially approved the agreed Chatham / Orange County boundary? You also asked about the status of the <br />agreed 1988 boundary in Chatham County? I do not know the line's status. I am in the process of contacting <br />Kimberly Horton, Chatham County Tax Administrator, and Keith Megginson, Chatham County Planner, to <br />learn the line's status. I understand that Orange County Commissioners have recognized the agreed boundary <br />and that you are sending me a copy of the resolution of ratification. Further, I understand that you are <br />forwarding to Chatham County a print of a map showing the county line and individual parcels along the line. <br />Fourth, you wanted to know the status of the monumentation along the agreed Chatham / Orange County line? <br />Per conversation this week with Gary Thompson, Director of N.C.G.S., our agency has set monuments at <br />various I road crossings along the agreed boundary. The easterly terminus common with Durham County is <br />monumented. The westerly terminus at the Haw River is not monumented nor referenced except by <br />coordinates. Bubble No. 1 (Wolf's Pond on the west side of Poythress Rd, SR 1534/1939) has either a nail or <br />subdivision monuments at the angle points. Bubble No. 2 (Atwater Tract on Collins Mountain Road, SR <br />1542/1954) has nails set at the four angle points. If the boundary has been agreed to by both counties, <br />N.C.G.S. will replace the nails with concrete monuments at the various angle points of the bubbles and a <br />121 West Jones Street • Raleigh, NC 27603 -1334 <br />Telephone: (919) 733 -3836 • Fax: (919) 733 -4407 <br />
