Margaret Hauth
Town OfHillsborough
Hillsborough, N.C. 27278
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for taking time from your schedule on Friday to speak with us. Per your request I am sending a brief
list of our discussion. First and foremost our goal is to get this settled as quickly as possible. We understand that
the Town of Hillsborough needs to fonnalize the right of way and easement on Hayes Street. Our request before
signing such documents are as follows:
1. We would like for the Board to consider placing a three way stop sign at the intersection of Lattimer and Hayes.
As you are aware Central Elementary School is located on Hayes and this stop sign would help to slow the traffic
on this street.
2. We would like for the Board to also consider erecting a guard rail on the side of Hayes Street by the creek where
the road previously has eroded. This could possibly prevent a serious situation with our school buses and out
school children as well,
3 . You stated that someone would be looking into the matter of a hole caused by a drain pipe in the corner of our
property. Please let us know your findings and the Towns intention toward correcting this problem. As I
expressed in our meeting, this hole creates a safety hazard for my grandchildren and needs to be addressed I did
not mention at our meeting but this seems to be causing a drainage problem on Hayes Street. The water stand in a
pool almost year round at the end of our drive way.
4. As I mentioned in the meeting, we have spent in excess of $1100 for what started as a simple survey, Currently
I am unable to obtain the loan I need to improve our property due to the findings on the survey. We would like for
the Town to assume the cost of the survey plus the remaining amount to get this completed
5. We will obtain the signatures necessary and request that the old Hayes Street or Sunset Ext be formally closed
and the land that it covers be deeded back to the Wood Property completely. The old road connects to property
owned by Joseph and Myrna Grasty and Henry and Cleon Scarlett, we will ask for their written consent to have the
land deeded back to us.
6. There is also an encroachment situation on the south side of our property. As discussed we would like to have
this grandfathered by the Town.
We look fonvard to hearing from you, and once again thank you for your time. Also, could you tell me how to
obtain a copy of the state drawing that you had during our meeting?
Sincerely,
