Tryon St., Hillsborough, NC 27278 (919) 245-2660 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Jennifer Leaf, Orange County Planner <br />From: Sharon Heath Riley, Planning Liaison <br />Recreation and Parks Advisory Council <br />Re: Union Grove Church Rd. Subdivision Proposal <br />Date: March 21, 2007 <br />Thank you for meeting with Recreation and Parks Director Lori Taft and myself to review the open <br />space and land dedication proposed for this project. <br />As we discussed, the Recreation and Parks Advisory Council (RPAC) has not seen the JPA <br />Strategy Map with Greenway location referenced in the Planning Department's comments. 1 saw <br />the stream running through the northwest corner of the property and made the recommendation to <br />RPAC that they also recommend the dedication of a one-acre parcel in the northwest corner of <br />the property in order to facilitate future Greenway connections as they may become possible. <br />RPAC unanimously agreed to this recommendation based on the statement that a future <br />Greenway has been mapped to include this portion of the Long Branch, which is a tributary of the <br />New Hope Creek. <br />RPAC would very much like to have a copy of the map showing the Greenway network, as well as <br />all of the Parkland and Conservation Areas, including lands dedicated as a result of the <br />Subdivision Review Process. Hopefully all of the dedicated parcels are kept up on a listing that is <br />maintained by planning as well. The Council would hope to have this information in hand to <br />visually assist them at the time they are next asked to make a recommendation for this process. <br />I look forward to continue working with you and the Planning Department. <br />c~~..-~ . <br />cc: Lori Taft <br />
