Other Comments: Though I currently live within the Chapel Hill city limits, I would make an excellent At- Large" member of the board because I grew up in a very rural area of the state (Swain County), so I identify strongly with my neighbors who live in the more rural areas of Orange County. I submitted an application for these boards a couple of years ago, so I just wanted to update my application and remind the Board of my interest. Also, though I currently reside in the Chapel Hill township, my husband and I now own 6 acres outside the city limits and plan to build a home there in the near future.

Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Board of Adjustment(REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I earned a Masters degree in personal administration from Indiana University(Bloomington) in 1974. I was a commercial/corporate banker for 32 years. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I d like to be involved in Hillsborough since I live in the ETJ. Also, my husband just passed away after a protracted illness and I have time on my hands that I would like to use productively. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 12 Page 2 of 2 Karen Raleigh Orange County Board of Adjustment(REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. As the city executive for First Union Bank in Chapel Hill, I spent much time working with the BOA in order to add a second drive-through at one of our branches. We got it done, but I have a pretty good idea of how difficult the job can be sometimes. If I could work with Chapel Hill, I think I can work with any municipality. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Board of Adjustment? I have a background in business from my years in banking. I also have a true appreciation for the history of Hillsborough. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? As an advisory board, I believe that the BOA must study the effect of proposed changes and variations from the town s ordinances. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Finding the balance between keeping the historic quaintness of Hillsborough and dealing with inevitable modern needs. What role should the Board of Adjustment take in guiding and regulating growth? I believe the BOA s tasks would be getting a good understanding of the proposed project/development and then making an informed recommendation to How would you,as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? I dealt with the same sort of balance when I lived in Orange County just outside of Chapel Hill, which struggles with the same sort of balance.
