Commissioner Gordon said that this is a cooperative relationship between Carrboro and Orange County. She asked where the actual easement agreement was. Rich Shaw from the Environment and Resource Conservation Department said the conservation easement came before the board in June with the joint purchase of the property. Commissioner Gordan asked what it means when it says, "convey the conservation easement." Rich Shaw said that the conservation easement is going to be conveyed by the Town of Carrboro. Commissioner Gordon verified that this action was the final action for the Adams Tract. Geof Gledhill said that at the June 23rd meeting, Commissioner Gordon suggested taking out the timbering provision, and this has been taken out. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the County assigning the signed purchase contract for the Adams property to the Town of Carrboro far the Town's anticipated purchase of the land an or before September 30, 2004. VOTE UNANIMOUS n. Little River Regional Park: Relocate Access Easement to Durham; Dedicate Public Road Right of Way; Accept, Without Maintenance Responsibility, Public Right of Way The Board considered authorizing a change in the existing access easement held by Durham County through the Orange County portion of Little River Regional Park; to dedicate to the public 5 feet of additional right of way along Guess Road where it abuts the Park property and authorize the County Manager to sign the public dedication; and accept, without maintenance responsibility, the dedication of right of way; and authorize the County Manager to sign the acceptance on the Final Plat of the Easement Survey. Chair Jacobs said that he wants to change the name of the road from Two County Park Drive to something more creative. He would like to name the road after someone or some group that contributed tremendously to the creation of the park or some feature of the park. He just wants to make sure it will not be too late to change the name of the road if the Board approves this tonight. Recreation and Parks Director Lori Taft said that there were staff that went over dozens of names that could not be used because they cannot resemble in any way, any name far a road in Orange County or in Durham County. She would welcome the opportunity to go back and get mare creative. Geof Gledhill said that even if the plat gets recorded with this name, it does not preclude changing the name of the road at some point in the future. Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that the Chairs of the County Commissioners go to lunch and come up with a name. Commissioner Gordon asked Rich Shaw to explain the map and what this action does. Rich Shaw pointed out the 50-foot easement that is to be abandoned and replaced by an easement on the new roadway system going through this property. A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Carey to authorize the execution and recording of the easement; dedicate to the public five feet of additional right-of- way along Guess Road where it abuts the Park property including authorizing the County Manager to sign the public dedication; and accept, for the use of the general public, without maintenance responsibility, the public dedication of the public right-of-way including authorizing the County Manager to sign the acceptance on the Final Plat of the Easement Survey. Commissioner Gordon would like to do something about the name in this action. Commissioner Halkiotis asked that if any Commissioners have any suggestions to give them to the Chair, who will meet with the Chair of the Durham County Commissioners. Commissioner Gordon would like to approve the name of the road as a second item. Geof Gledhill said that a separate action would be a good idea for the name of the road.
