The owners have <br /> indicated to me that the property is not in the New Hope Creek floodplain <br /> and if this is 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 ESTATES <br /> The only element of this proposed subdivision preliminary plan is its <br /> proximity to Lake 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 his property which lies within the 100-year flood plain <br /> to the County, or (b) granting a(n) (conservation) easement on that same <br /> portion to the County. I would be willing to explore these options with <br /> the owner if the Board so desires. The County Attorney would, of course, <br /> need to be involved in such negotiations. <br /> ESODERRICK DIVISION <br /> I find no element on the preliminary plan warrenting 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 recommendations to the Orange County Recreation and Parks <br /> Advisory Council at their March meeting and will forward to you any <br /> changes/additional comments they may have. <br /> MAB/pbl <br /> HIisnorough. 732-5361 ' Durham. 688-7333 ' Chapel Hill. 968-4501 • Mebane, 227-2032 <br />
