The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in special session on Thursday,
November 9, 1967 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of George Spransy in Dogwood Acres for
the purpose of holding a public hearing on the Dogwood Acres Sanitary District petition.
Members Present: Chairman Harvey Bennett, and Commissioners Carl M. Smith,
and Henry S. Walker.
Members Absent: Commissioners William C. Rey and Ira A. Ward who were attending
a special meeting of the Orange-Person Mental Health Committee.
Chairman Bennett called the meeting to order and announced that this was the
time and place designated for the public hearing on the Dogwood Acres Sanitary
District petition.
Charles Rundgren, Special Representative of the North Carolina Department of
Health, assumed the chairmanship for said meeting. Mr. Rundgren stated that the
purpose of this meeting was to determine if the majority of the residents of the
Dogwood Acres area wanted to create a Sanitary District in said area.
Leslie B. Coehen, Representative of the Southeastern Water Utility, objected
to the form of the petition circulated within the Dogwood Acre's area- and he also
objected to the holding of the public bearing.
James R. Farlow, Attorney from Chapel Hill and Representative of several
of the property owners within the Dogwood Acres area, reque'sted':th'at=Mr_ Coehens
objection be made more specific.
Mr. Rundgren stated that he took note of both objections, but as this meeting
was an informal bearing called in order to allow all interested persons the
opportunity to speak he felt that the objections of Mr. Coehen was out of order.
Mr. Rundgren offered all proponents of the Sanitary District the opportunity
to speak. Following these presentations Mr. Rundgren then offered all opponents
of the Sanitary District the opportunity to speak.
At the conclusion of these presentations a straw vote was held on the question
of whether or not a Sanitary District should be created for Dogwood Acres. This
vote was tallied and showed that forty-three (43) persons voted in favor of the
creation of the Sanitary District and that seven (7) persons voted in opposition
to the creation of a Sanitary District.
Mr. Rundgren declared the public hearing adjourned. Mr. Rundgren turned the
chairmanship of the meeting back to Harvey Bennett.
Chairman Bennett was authorized by the Board to sign the Memorandum of
Agreement between Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Person County-Board
of Commissioners. (For copy of Memorandum see page 62.)
There being no further business to come before the Board the meeting was
adjourned to meet again on Thursday, November 16, 1967.
