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