Gibsonville resident Gerald Clapp is concerned that the college students are changing the atmos phere of the community from a sin gle-family home development to college housing. ‘This year in my development, houses were built specifically for Elon housing,” said Clapp, “it looks like a house but really it’s just a dorm.” He blames the university for not providing enough housing for the growth rate of enrollment. Dan Anderson, director of University Relations, said the busi ness, finance and technical office is currently planning to add more con struction soon. He said that students perform better, stay in school and function better when they live on campus.” The Alamance News article cites how Gibsonville and Elon housing ordinances have loopholes. The housing ordinance prohibits more than three unrelated people in a sin gle or ' multi-family zoning. According to the Alamance News article, Deleno Hynn, town manager of Gibsonville, said the current trend is that one person owns the house, rents the house to the students, but does not live in the house. In Clapp’s situation at Stengate development, Gibsonville Board of Aldermen are not concemed that stu dents are living in Gibsonville, but “that the builders were making the house look like an apartment house ” Flynn said. “There were two drive ways and it was made specifically to attract students.” Stengate develop ment is not zoned for apartments.
