February 22, 1988 <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> Dear Commissioners, <br /> I am writing this letter as a concerned property owner <br /> who lives along the Eno River . I have read the initial Parks <br /> and Recreation Master Plan document at the library, attended <br /> the first Public Hearing, and attended the local Cheeks <br /> Township meeting . Although I support the Park proposals of <br /> the plan I cannot support the priority of the swimming pools <br /> having learned of their estimated cost per pool . <br /> I also cannot support the Greenway System in its revised <br /> form. Realizing that it is no ones intention on either the <br /> present Board of Commissioners, or Parks and Recreation <br /> department to pressure a land owner to participate, I find it <br /> troubling that language cannot be included in the document to <br /> protect a landowner of their right to decline to participate . <br /> I find it troubling that 96 linker- miles have been proposed <br /> of which no one has assesed or surveyed its suitibility . I <br /> find it troubling that these same 96 miles are your principle <br /> water scource and wildlife corridors in the county. I find <br /> it troubling that no assesment has been made as to how it <br /> will impact rescue, fire and surely law enforcement needs and <br /> costs to the county. Simply, a commitment by the County of <br /> such scope needs to be based on more than a concept . It needs <br /> to be based on concepts coupled with acheivable goals and <br /> realistic data. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Doug and Mars a Efland <br />
