Seconded by Burklin. <br /> Eidenier asked why the Recreation and Parks <br /> Department wanted a greenway strip on the north <br /> side of Whitfield Road. Cameron responded that <br /> it would be a bike/pedestrian trail that is also <br /> a part of the New Hope Corridor Master Plan. She <br /> noted that the greenway is very important since <br /> it is the only connection across I-40 between <br /> Chapel Hill and the Rural Buffer. <br /> Hoecke asked if there is a provision for <br /> continuation of that greenway. Cameron responded <br /> the greenway on Sunrise Road would provide a <br /> connection to the trails into Duke Forest. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. <br /> AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING (2/22/93) <br /> a.

Private roads may be allowed only <br /> if justified according. to specific criteria set <br /> forth in Section IV-B-d-3-1. The burden of proof <br /> to show that a private road is justified <br /> according to these criteria lies with the <br /> subdivider. <br /> • <br /> The adequacy of the existing private road <br />
