Box 30923 <br /> Raleigh, N.C. 27622 <br /> SUBJECT: CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PROPOSED <br /> CORRIDORS FOR ENO DRIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY <br /> To the Corridor Study Steering Committee: <br /> The announcement for the upcoming citizens informational <br /> workshop contains a map which depicts two possible corridors <br /> for Eno Drive in Orange County. We understand that a goal of <br /> the workshop is narrowing down the list of potential <br /> corridors to determine which ones should receive further <br /> study. Toward this goal, the County Commissioners offer the <br /> following comments concerning the two proposed corridors in <br /> Orange County. <br /> First Corridor (farther north and west) <br /> The first corridor crosses the Orange County line at <br /> Cole Mill Road. It then proceeds in a southwesterly <br /> direction to the edge of, if not beyond, the boundaries of <br /> the study area. Then it angles back to the southeast across <br /> the Eno River and intersects with I-85 just west of the <br /> Durham/Orange County Line. This alignment appears to cross <br /> portions of the Eno River State Park and could pose serious <br /> threats to the integrity of the park. Another area of <br /> significant public interest, the Rhodes Creek Wildlife <br /> Corridor, as identified in the recently adopted New Hope <br /> Creek Open Space Master Plan lies immediately west of the <br /> corridor. We have serious concerns about this proposed <br /> corridor for Eno Drive and request that it be removed from <br /> further consideration. <br /> Two other points making this corridor a poor candidate <br /> are the necessity of crossing the Eno River and extensive <br /> areas of steep topography (exceeding 15% slope) . The Orange <br /> County Planning Department has detailed thematic mapping of <br /> the area and Mr. Gene Bell, Planner III, is available to <br /> assist with any requests you may have concerning the maps. <br /> Likewise, Ms. Emily Cameron, Planner II, is available to <br /> answer any questions you may have regarding the New Hope <br /> Creek Open Space Master Plan. <br /> 1 <br /> YOU COUNT IN ORANGE COUNTY ! <br />
