TOWI®1 OF CAF2RBOFtO -^~ <br />NORTH CAROLINA •~ <br />WWW TOW NO FCARRBORO ORG J <br />October 4, 2005 <br />Mr. John Link, County Manager <br />Orange County <br />P.O, Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear John: <br />~ ~~~~~ <br />oc T - ~, zoo5 ~ <br />Several weeks ago, I forwarded an August 16 Board of Aldermen meeting <br />agenda item on conservation mapping to you as information. That agenda item <br />contained information on two county -owned parcels of land within Garrboro's <br />jurisdiction that are located adjacent to Bolin Creek or its tributaries. The Board <br />of Aldermen adopted a resolution that evening requesting that the Orange <br />County Board of Commissioners consider transferring ownership of those two <br />parcels to the Town of Carrboro. <br />One parcel (PIN 9778-97-5883) contains a segment of Bolin Creek. While small, <br />this 0.2•-acre parcel would provide an opportunity to enhance Baldwin Park <br />landscaping and stream stewardship. Located in the Fox Meadow subdivision, <br />the other parcel of open space (PIN 9870-14-9741) contains five (5) acres. <br />Transfer of the five -acre parcel would enable the Town to simplify open space <br />stewardship of the lJpper Bolin Creek corridor and enhance planning, <br />construction, operation, and maintenance of future greenway trails. <br />Please forward this request to the Board of Commissioners and let me know if <br />you need additional information. I can be reached at 918 - 7315 or <br />sstewart(o~townofcarrboro.org if you have any questions. I appreciate your <br />assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />,.~G-mac <br />Steve Stewart, Town Manager <br />cc: Carrboro Board of Aldermen <br />Sarah Williamson, Town Clerk <br />Roy Williford, Planning Director <br />Trish McGuire, Planning Administrator <br />Enclosure: Resolution <br />301 WEST MAIN STREET.
