H. and J. Graham) - rezoning from Residential - 1 to <br /> Residential - 2 and Residential - 4. <br /> - James L. Freeland - rezoning from Residential - 1 to Residential - 4. <br /> - Chandler's Green - planned development/rezoning from Residential - 1 <br /> to Residential - 2. <br /> - West Ten. Mobile Home Park - planned development - housing (Residential - 1) <br /> _ Also indicated in your memo, recreational requirements for straight <br /> re-zonings (the Scotswood and Freeland projects) are applicable at densities <br /> of five (5) or more units per acre. These two (2) projects are thus <br /> not subject to requirements providing for recreational space facilities. <br /> I also understand that Chandler's Green and West Ten Mobile Home Park are <br /> planned developments (housing) and are subject to recreational requirements <br /> for recreational space. <br /> I feel it is important that the Orange County Recreation and Parks Advisory <br /> Council be apprised of these proposed developments and their plans for <br /> provision of recreational space facilities. The Council, however, does <br /> not hold its next monthly meeting until Tuesday, June 4th, one week after <br /> • the May 28th public hearing. As I have only recently begun my position as <br /> Director of Orange County Recreation and Parks Department, staff comments <br /> • concerning the recreational concerns of these two (2) proposed developments <br /> are limited: <br /> Chandler's Green <br /> -.Accessibility <br /> • Developer seems to have considered appropriate central location <br /> of the recreation area and has proposed adequate pedestrian pathways <br /> to recreation facilities. These pathways should be compacted, <br /> "rock dust" material, laid 4-6", approximately 72" in width with <br /> no more than the maximum slope requirement for handicapped purposes/ <br /> access. Staff also recommends extension of the proposed pathway, <br /> 1 • Hillsborough, 732-9361 • Durham, 688-7333 • Chapel Hill, 968-4501 • Mebane, 227-2032 <br />
