(19i MEMORANDUM �.. T0: Jane Garrc ..:t, Planner ` ` ,� 2-Z�-�"� 1...' FROM: Mary Anne lack '-)77,0 DATE: February , 1987 RE: Courtesy I :Iiew -- Elm Grove Eno River Estates Esoderrick Division ELM GROVE Upon review o' the preliminary plan for the proposed Elm Grove Subdivision, I f. :d that the, only element warranting comment from a recreation and pa_ perspective is the subject prol,c;:ty's location (a) in the JPA and (b) c or near the New Hope Creek waterway. The owners have indicated to me t'..st the property is not in the New Eope Creek floodplain and if this is the case, I would recommend that the County accept payment-in-lieu c _ dedication of land for public recreation, in that the property does not contain lands for future park or ,_aenway sites. ENO RIVER ESTATES The only elem. : of this proposed subdivision 1.L., liminary plan is its proximity to Lakc Orange and its location on the Eno River. Both these water resources 4.:e valuable recreation resources as well. I would request that the County pursue the possibility of the owner (a) donating that portion of F:'s property which lies within the 100-year flood plain to the County, or. (b) granting a(n) (conservation) easement on that same portion to the Cc lty. I would be willing to explore these options with the owner if the >ard so desires. The County Attorney would, of course, need to be involv0 in such negotiations. ESODERRICK DIVISION. I find no elei ant on the preliminary plan warrenting comment from a recreation and park perspective in that the subject property's location is not within the -'PA or planning jurisdiction of Hillsborough. Thank you for ;le opportunity to offer these st_ff comments. i will present my recorrs:.ndations to the Orange County Recreation and Parks Advisory Council It their March meeting and will forward to you any changes/additional comments they may have.
