The owners have <br /> indicated to me hat 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 are valuable recreation resources as well. I would <br /> request that the County pursue the possibility of the owner (a) donating <br /> that portion of "As 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 Coanty. I would be willing to explore these options with <br /> the owner if the. Board so desires. The County Attcrney would, of course, <br /> need to be invoL_d in such negotiations. <br /> ESODERRICK DIVISI:N <br /> I find no elc `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 recor.-endations to the Orange County, Recreation and Parks <br /> Advisory Council at their March meeting and will forward to you any <br /> changes/additions comments they may have. <br /> I , <br /> MAB/pb1 ;g <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Hillsborough, 732-9331 - Durham, 688-7333 • Chapel Hill, 968-4501 - Mebane, 227-2032 <br />
