Final Report ♦ Rogers Road Small Area Plan Task Force <br />The Study Area <br />The Rogers Road community which is the subject of this report is <br />an area of approximately 330 acres. <br />It is bounded by the Norfolk and Southern Railroad to the east, <br />the existing residential neighborhood of Billabong Road and <br />Homestead Place to the south, Rogers Road to the west and the <br />Orange County Land fill to the north. <br />Almost half of the study area (164 acres) consists of the Greene <br />Tract. Approximately 60 acres of the Greene Tract is owned by <br />Orange County and 104 acres is jointly owned by Orange County, <br />the Town of Chapel Hill and the Town of Carrboro. <br />A concept plan prepared by a Greene Tract Workgroup was <br />approved by the joint owners in late 2002. The concept plan <br />identifies that 18.1 acres of the jointly owned portion will be <br />developed for housing and the remaining acres of the jointly <br />owned portion will be preserved and managed as open space. <br />See maps and aerial photographs of the area in the Appendices to <br />this report. <br />2 1 Rogers Road Small Area Plan Recommendations <br />
