002 The Clarion team has worked closely with County staff and a comprehensive set of stakeholder groups in moving the project forward. The team’s design effort is grounded in both the BOCC- adopted planning principles and the Chapel Hill 2020 plan as noted in Attachment 1,and the team continues to meet with these various stakeholders of the project, including County Departments, Advisory Boards, Utilities, and other regulatory officials. The team has also assembled contextual, background, and technical informationrelevant to the project in the form of meeting presentation slides as noted in Attachment 2.A current survey has been prepared to validate many of the design opportunities and constraints. This survey also includes significant tree specimens on the site. The project outcomes have been based on this principled framework andthe extensive primary feedback from the stakeholders as well as the technical information available on the site.
