Slack 7/2 <br /> DATE: February 13, 1987 <br /> RE: Courtesy _..view -- Elm Grove . <br /> Eno River Estates <br /> l ' Esoderrick Division <br /> ELM GROVE <br /> Upon review of the preliminary plan for the proposed Elm Grove <br /> Subdivision, I find that the, only element warranting comment from a <br /> recreation and pirk perspective is the subject property's location (a) in <br /> the JPA and (b) !on or near the New Hope Creek watekway. The owners have <br /> indicated to me that the.property is not in the New Hope Creek floodplain <br /> and if this i ' the case, I would recommend that the County accept <br /> payment-in-lieu 'of dedication of land for public recreation, in that the <br /> property does not contain lands for future park or greenway sites. <br /> ENO RIVER ESTAT '. <br /> The only el it of this proposed subdivision preliminary plan is its <br /> proximity to , Orange and its location on the Eno River. Both these <br /> water resources - ace valuable recreation resources as well. I would <br /> request that the County pursue the possibility of the owner (a) donating <br /> that portion of '::is property which lies within the 100-year flood plain <br /> to the County, o: (b) granting a(n) (conservation) easement on that same <br /> portion to the County. I would be willing to explore these options with <br /> the owner if the, Board so desires. The County Attorney would, of course, <br /> need to be involves in such negotiations. <br /> ESODERRICK DIVISI.:N <br /> I find no elca nt on the preliminary plan warranting comment from a <br /> recreation and park perspective in that the subject property's location <br /> is not within the JPA or planning jurisdiction of Hillsborough. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to offer these staff comments. I will <br /> present my reccc-andations to the Orange County, Recreation and Parks <br /> Advisory Council at their March meeting and will forward to you any <br /> changes/addition`. comments they may have. <br /> MAE/pbl :4 <br /> I ' <br /> 1 , . <br /> Hillsborough, 732.9301 - Durham, 688-7333 • Chapel Hill, 968-4501 • Mebane, 227-2032 <br /> ., Area Code 919 <br />
