continue to be responsible for monitoring the condition of the protected area and enforcing the terms of the Conservation Easement. Furthermore, keeping the Conservation Easement does not have to be a permanent decision. It may be abandoned or transferred in the future. The Conservation Easement does not abut a public right -of -way. However, the Conservation Easement includes the County's right to cross other lands owned by the Grantor and its successors for the purpose of monitoring the protected area. The request for revocation was discussed by the Board of Commissioners on February 17. A question was asked about the Stoney Creek Basin Small Area Plan designation for the property. The SCBSAP indicates that the area of University Manor is to be considered as "Lower Intensity Development Area." Accordingly, an overlay zoning district was created on June 2, 1997, to modify the flexible development regulations to eliminate the bonus units and the village option, and to exclude active recreation area from open space calculations. Draft documents are attached to accomplish revocation of the subdivision approval and abandonment of the public roads. Two versions of the resolution are included, one of which releases the Conservation Easement (Resolution B), and the other retains it (Resolution A). RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the following: 1. Adoption of attached Resolution A to revoke the subdivision approval of University Manor, Phase I, and close the existing public roads in Section I (retains the Conservation Easement); and 2. Scheduling of the public hearing to close the roads for the regular Board of Commissioners meeting on either April 7 or April 21, 1998.
