Tryon St., Hillsborough, NC 27278 (919) 245-2660 <br />rwr •', N 1 <br />To: Eddie Kirk, Orange County Planner <br />From: Sharon Heath Riley, Planning Liaison <br />Recreation and Parks Advisory Council <br />Re: Pleasant Green Woods Phase 3 <br />Date: May 26, 2007 <br />Thank you for the opportunity to review the concept plan for this subdivision. <br />The preliminary plat shows "Open Space C" and portions of "Open Space B" in the area of the <br />transmission lines with their easterly boundaries adjacent to properties owned by the State of <br />North Carolina, specifically for Eno River State Park. <br />RPAC feels that it would be beneficial to the subdivision as well as the community at large to place <br />these properties under the protection of the State as part of the Eno River State Park. RPAC <br />recommends that the portion of land including and to the southeast of the power line easement be <br />dedicated to the state of North Carolina for recreation and open space. <br />In addition, RPAC recommends the developer provide a walking trail through "Open Space 13" as <br />drawn but continuing through to current State property east of "Open Space C." Further, given the <br />20 lots proposed, RPAC strongly recommends the developer provide recreation amenities such as <br />10,000 square feet of playground area with apparatus and swings as well as a picnic shelter with a <br />minimum capacity of 100. These facilities could easily be developed within any of the areas <br />adjacent to lots 1-4, 6 and 12, 7 and 18, or elsewhere. <br />cc: Lori Taft <br />
