The Eno River State <br /> Park is'very close to this property. Some of the 25 acres is adjacent to land which <br /> is proposed for acquisition in the master plan for the Park. Any °type of high- <br /> 3 intensity:commercial or industrial use at this location could be detrimental to the <br /> ) park. Facilities which could result in excessive noise, polluted runoff, smoke, <br /> ) odors, or. tall buildings would significantly reduce public enjoyment of the river and <br /> I <br /> the park. ' Although Mr. Kennedy's, plans may not change, changing the Land Use Plan <br /> leaves the door open to future development of this kind. The County's current Land <br /> 1 <br /> Use Plan is very clear that this particular quadrant of the intersection should be . <br /> I : treated differently than the other quadrants because of its proximity to the park. <br /> The existing'Land Use Plan indicates that the areas including the park and the river <br /> should be protected from adverse development pressures. In referencing the activity <br /> ' node at the 1-85 and U.S. 70 interchange, the plan indicates that the Eno River State <br /> 3 Peek; as well as the flood plain along the Eno River, are located north of this <br /> ..? interchange and. therefore industrial and commercial development should be confined to <br /> ) • the area south and east of the interchange. In a letter to the Division of Parks and . <br /> 1 Recreation last March, the County indicated its commitment to maintain the land-use - . <br /> ' designation in the Land Use Plan which will provide low density, non-intensive uses <br /> 3 . around'the-parki Periphery. She asked, that the Land Use Plan not be changed. . • <br /> 4 ' - However, if this amendment is approved it needs to include a provision to protect this <br /> _ . <br /> land from future intensive uses which are not a part of the present proposal but which <br /> 3 <br /> 'C could be available to a land owner if the Land Use Plan is changed. Examples would <br /> 7 include a limit on building height;. protections from noise and excessive lighting - - <br /> , t , <br /> 3 :::;,:.:wed:::.:z..:.::.1..:.:,....:.....:::::,....z-.±-,:.::7-,,-:.:....--.....7„..,...,•;,-=. , . ...;.,..,,-.,-..--..:-..,..-,-_-,-..--.7-. .. -; — --• . <br /> 3 :-...--,:-..:'4 :':-.'.7.:....".;',.• '.:::,''..:::::::•f":::Y-.--.4-.1,-,•-•-',;7-4:'' : : •'''.'":.'---I.."'• ''': "*.---.-'-' - • ' . . •. .. . .. . .. . .. . . <br /> . . - <br /> ) -...7.:-7T.
