TRIANGLE LAND CONSERVANCY <br /> 20 <br /> office 1100A Wake Forest Road <br /> Raleigh, NC 27604 <br /> mail PO Box 13031 <br /> August 20, 1996 Research Triangle Park, NC <br /> 27709-3031 <br /> tel 919.833.3662 <br /> fax 919.755.9356 <br /> David Rooks, III <br /> Northern, Blue, Rooks, Thibaut <br /> 100 Europa Drive, #550 <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br /> Dear David: <br /> I am writing to let you know that the Triangle Land Conservancy has after <br /> careful consideration decided against acquiring the Stoney Creek floodplain in the <br /> University Manor subdivision. As I explained in my February letter, our primary <br /> interest in the land was as a public trail connector between New Hope Creek and <br /> the Eno River. After walling the land and discussing it at our most recent Land <br /> Committee meeting, we determined that establishing a trail in this area would be <br /> prohibitively expensive. As you probably know already, the floodplain in this area <br /> lives up to its name. The trail would have to be raised above ground almost the <br /> entire distance. <br /> We appreciate very much, however, Mr. Bailey's vOingness to work with us <br /> on this project. Please extend our than to him for considering the possibility of <br /> donating this land to TLC and for giving us the opportunity to walk the land and <br /> investigate the project more fully. We hope that he will consider involving us at <br /> the early stages of any new projects he undertakes. <br /> Thank you as well for your time and consideration on this project, and we <br /> hope to work with you on other projects in the future. <br /> Since ely, <br /> Kate Dixon <br /> Executive Director <br /> © ecvc:ea nape, <br />
