The property is listed on <br />Orange County Tax Records as Hillsborough Township Map 5, <br />Block A, Lot 11. <br />BACKGROUND: The current driveway for Public Works proposes a problem <br />with ingress and egress from Highway 86. The driveway is <br />located right below the crest of a hill causing very poor <br />sight distance and creating a hazard for anyone attempting <br />to enter or leave the facility. There is also a need for a <br />more suitable entrance to the Northern Fairview Park as the <br />current entrance requires that traffic route through a <br />residential neighborhood. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the purchase of the above referenced tract <br />and authorization for Chair to sign Offer to Purchase <br />and Contract. <br />
