3 i.Net of requiredbuffers only 4.3useable acres remain ii.Difficulty using convenience center and debris site simultaneously due to convenience center existing entrancewayrequired to be used as debris site entrance iii.Needs incorporation of an adjacent parcel to becomelarger to be asuitable long term site. B)Future Northeast District Park - usable acres=43.3 (Schley Road sector) & 5.28 Mincey Road sector) 1.Advantages: i.Offers both a large site and small site to accommodate all types ofevents ii.Good northern location iii.Few adjacent residences on the southern portion iv.Southern portionalready planned for future solid waste use (convenience center);located6.3miles from central Hillsborough 2.Disadvantages: i.Some residences adjacent to northern portion ii.Conservation easement associated with the larger northern area prohibitsit from beingutilized (could request Triangle Land Conservancy to consider minor revision to easementto allow). C)Future Millhouse Road Park - usable acres=8.1(minor clearing could expand size toapprox. 14.9acres) 1.Advantages: i.Location near area that typically generates the largest amount of vegetative debris during a storm ii.Near Solid Waste Department and easier to oversee iii.Few adjacent residences iv.Currently cleared area can be slightly expanded consistent with future park development plansand make this site a more highly functional temporary site 2.Disadvantages: i.Existing irregularly shaped area would requireincreased equipment/material oversight during an eventunless slightly expandedby removing some adjoining small trees and brush ii.Park would be developed at some point in the future iii.Must respect roadway access easement :B ConclusionStaff is proposing that Site - Future North East Park (Mincey Road sector only) – C andSite - Future Millhouse Road Park as expanded - be authorized for permitting as temporary storm debris management sites. These sites would be in addition to the small (4.9 acres) existing permitted Eubanks Road landfill site. Staff does not recommend Site A at this time due to its small size and entranceway conflict with the convenience center.Future park Site B’s northern (Schley Road) sectoris currently prohibited from consideration by a conservation easement. Emergency storm debris management site network capacity could be significantly improvedby modifying the current conservation easement restriction on the Future Northeast District Park’s northern (Schley Road) sectorallowing storm debris capacity in the northern portion of the County for even the most grave of storm events. The Triangle Land Conservancy is the holder of this conservation easement, which was required by the previous owner as part of the purchase, to preclude solid waste activitieson this portion of the property. This property is currently leased to an area farmer for agricultural use on a year-to-year basis.
