r � <br />Director of Planning <br />Craig Benedict <br />3067 Revere Rd. <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Jayme Hanzak <br />5502 Old Noble Rd. <br />Cedar Grove, NC 27231 <br />Dear Distinguished Board Member, <br />Thank you for taking the time to read my letter on the proposed zone change Z- 03 -99. <br />This is Mr. McBroom's request. <br />First of all, I would like to apologize for missing the first meeting on this matter. I <br />understand that there were several notices of the zone change in the newspapers, none of <br />which I get regularly. I find the news coverage of Orange county to be `TAIR" at best. So <br />I do not subscribe to them. <br />I also heard that a public notice was posted in our area for a short time. One day from <br />what I understand. I would have to believe this because I have a daughter that I run <br />around to various activities through out the week, and I never saw a notice about the <br />rezoning of the land on Sawmill Rd. I am sure if one was posted, my wife and I would <br />have definitely noticed it. The word, "REZONING" does command attention. Is this a <br />common practice in Orange County? Working for the PBS station, It reminds me of a <br />program we air called, "Wish Bone ". In one of the episodes, a developer puts up a public <br />notice and some how that notice was knocked down. So the rezoning passes because <br />nobody is aware of the meeting, Very cloak and dagger. <br />My wife and I bought a house in the Grassy Creek subdivision a little over two year ago. <br />We are very pleased with our purchase and love the area'very much. We have great <br />neighbors, the peace and quiet is wonderful. This little subdivision off Sawmill Rd. is a <br />dream come true for my family. Especially for my daughter, she loves the horses and the <br />wildlife. <br />Mr. McBroom wrote some covenants for the Grassy Creek subdivision. The covenants <br />are fair not only to the residents of Grassy Creek; but are respectful to all the Citizens on <br />Sawmill Road as well. I have enclosed a copy of these covenants to let you see for <br />yourself how fair they are. <br />I would like to draw your attention to Covenant #8. The Nuisance Covenant. Please note <br />the first sentence. <br />8. Nuisances. No noxious or offensive trade or activity shall be carried on upon any Lot nor shall <br />anything be done thereon which may be or become a nuisance or annoyance to the <br />NEIGHBORHOOD. <br />
