5 <br />4. Names on Facilities. Any formal naming of facilities or amenities (e.g., trails, shelters) or <br />acknowledgment of people or entities on signage (e.g., project partners, monetary <br />contributors, etc.) will be in accordance with the Management Plan. <br />5. Ownership. The land shall continue to be owned as separate parcels with Orange County <br />owning the 43 acres more or less located in Orange County, Durham County owning 32 <br />acres more or less located in Durham County, and Chapel Hill owning 2 acres more or <br />less located in Durham County. Each governing body holding ownership shall be liable <br />for and shall maintain the property in the manner consistent with the Management Plan <br />unless otherwise agreed. <br />a) Conservation Easements. The Parties recognize that portions of the Park and <br />Natural Area were acquired with grants from the NC Clean Water Management <br />Trust Fund and NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program, and that there are <br />conservation easements encumbering the property as a result of those grants. The <br />conservation easements are recorded at the Orange County Register of Deeds, <br />Book 3197 Page 379, the Orange County Register of Deeds, Book 4065 Page 429, <br />the Orange County Register of Deeds, Book 5106 Page 254, and at the Durham <br />County Register of Deeds, Book 6659 Page 122. <br />b) Additional Land. As opportunities develop in the future, additional land areas <br />may be considered by the Parties for potential acquisition to expand the Park and <br />Natural Area boundaries. Amendments to the Master Plan to include the <br />additional land will be initiated through the joint county and town staff, with <br />recommendations to the Parties' elected boards for approval. If the proposed <br />additional land requires additional costs for maintenance and /or operations, then <br />the additional costs for land acquisition, operations, and maintenance shall be <br />negotiated and approved by the Parties' elected boards for approval. If, however, <br />the additional land is located in only one of the counties, and its acquisition would <br />have no financial impact on costs associated with Park and Natural Area <br />operations and maintenance, then the purchase of the proposed land may be made <br />by the county in which the land is located. If the land is located in both counties, <br />the Parties' elected boards must approve the purchase and must approve the <br />manner in which title to the land is conveyed. <br />III. Site Management <br />1. Allowed Uses. The Park and Natural Area shall be open and available to the general <br />public regardless of race, gender, color, creed, age, disability, familial status, marital <br />status, veteran status, political or religious affiliation or national origin. The Parties, <br />through their respective elected boards, with input from a citizen advisory committee and <br />other members of the public, have agreed on what uses will and will not be allowed in the <br />Park and Natural Area in accordance with the adopted Master Plan. Modification of the <br />approved uses will be considered through the joint county and town staffs and <br />recommended for consideration and mutual approval by the Parties' elected boards. <br />Draft 3 - Interlocal Agreement — Hollow Rock Park and Natural Area 3 of 9 <br />
