The remainder of the 14 acres <br /> will be dedicated to Orange County with the final plat <br /> application of Piney Mountain Phase II . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends acceptance of 2.3 acres <br /> dedicated to Orange County for recreation/open space. <br /> abstracts: acceptance <br />
