16 <br /> Ford to the detriment of many thirsty citizens of the <br /> Hillsborough Triangle to the benefit of a few. " <br /> "We're growing wall-to-wall with thirsty citizens here, <br /> we need jobs for our children, for the jobs we need <br /> industry, for the industry we need water, there is an <br /> excellent reservoir site just west of town and one even <br /> larger at Cabes Ford. " <br /> Carl Lloyd, Bingham Township resident, noted that he had <br /> subdivided and created nine 5-acre lots and had to donate <br /> 1/35th of an acre for recreation and he thought it was for <br /> recreational purposes of those homeowners in his subdivision. <br /> He continued that this 9/35th of an acre had become about two <br /> acres out of fifty on the creek with about a 70 to 90 foot <br /> easement to Orange County. He felt this was about ten times <br /> the requirement as listed in the Subdivision Regulations . He <br /> indicated that this was a "taking" . <br /> George Chockley, Cedar Grove Township resident, noted that he <br /> was very much against the greenways proposal. He indicated <br /> that he had attended the public meetings on greenways and was <br /> told by the Recreation and Parks Director, Mary Anne Black, <br /> that the citizens wishes would be conveyed to the <br /> Commissioners .

He felt a <br /> great deal of money had been spent unnecessarily since he <br /> felt there was no conceivable way to connect the greenways . <br /> Tom Wagner stated that his family were owners of a large. <br /> certified tree farm in Orange County with no intent to <br /> subdivide. He expressed concern with the future security of <br /> greenways and parks -and the implementation of a Plan which <br /> would create many problems in the future which could never be <br /> solved. <br /> Sue Hobgood, property owner in Cedar Grove Township, <br /> expressed concern that the proposed greenways would divide <br /> her property. Ms. Hobgood felt that giving property to , <br /> family members did not constitute a subdivision. Chair <br />
