A. CHARGE to the Master Plan Committee: <br />Develop a Master Plan for the Site, within the framework of any operating guidelines or <br />other instructions as offered by the elected Boards, to include the following: <br />1. A map of the Site with the design for the Fairview Park, including proposed <br />buildings, playing fields, roads, pazking, trails, other facilities, amenities, <br />infrastructure locations, vegetative cover, hydrology and other components that <br />are commonly included in a pazk or public facility concept plan. The map of the <br />Site shall include existing and planned buildings of the County Parks Operations <br />Base and the Town and County Public Works facilities. Planning of the County <br />Parks Operations Base and the Town and .County Public Works facilities is <br />limited to the location of buildings,. roads, parking and other infrastructure. <br />2. A written report outlining the proposed uses, the design rationale, description of <br />work group process, natural and cultural features, means of soliciting community <br />input, the potential future phases, and construction cost estimates. If needed, the <br />report should also include a phasing plan, showing how the Fairview Park and <br />other public facilities could be developed over time in acost-efficient fashion. <br />The report should include a recommendation concerning which facilities should <br />be constructed, utilizing the funds remaining from the $850,000 allocated for the <br />project after the planning, design, and survey work (estimated to cost $200,000) <br />have been completed. <br />3. The report should address and recognize the limitations imposed by safety <br />considerations caused by the Fairview park site's previous use for waste-disposal, <br />as addressed in part by a geo-technical report prepared in 1999 ("Report of <br />Geotechnical Evaluation, Closed Hillsborough Landfill Site, July 19, 2000"). <br />Further recommendations maybe needed to address phased remediation of <br />portions of the Fairview park site. <br />4. The Master Plan should address co-location of existing and future public facilities <br />and provide for a synergy and compatibility of uses between park functions and <br />other public functions wherever possible. The rights of neighbors should be <br />respected by buffering incompatible uses. <br />5. The Committee should review the "old" 1988 Fairview Park Concept Plan as part <br />of the Master Plan and determine its validity, if any. <br />2.
