10-13-87 PB Minutes C <br /> 154 5 <br /> a. Open Space Plan <br /> Draft Requests for Proposals (RFP) <br /> Deferred to the regularly scheduled meeting October <br /> 19, 1987 . <br /> b. Memo of Understanding <br /> Eno River State Park <br /> Presentation by Gene Bell. <br /> At the September 21 Planning Board meeting, staff <br /> asked the Board for comments on a proposed Memorandum <br /> of Understanding between the County and NCDP&R. <br /> Discussions with NCDP&R personnel relative to the <br /> Durham/Hillsborough water line and potential develop- <br /> ment impacts on Eno River State Park highlighted the <br /> need for greater coordination of State and local <br /> planning efforts.

This indicated that the County had only <br /> approved the RC&D Plan and not the Master Plan. <br /> Bell noted that Susan Tillotson. no River State Park <br /> Superintendent was also available for questions from <br /> the Board. <br /> Jacobs asked what procedure was used for NRCD to <br />
