Hermon Church <br />Road, across US Highway 70 to Pleasant Green <br />Road to reach Eno River State Park. <br />One of the implementation recommendations made by the <br />Advisory Committee is that a permanent Advisory <br />Committee be established to oversee progress of the <br />Master Plan, make budget recommendations relating to <br />the corridor, review development proposals affecting <br />the corridor, and encourage citizen involvement in the <br />corridor project. The permanent Advisory Committee <br />could be made up of members of existing open space/ <br />planning groups supplemented by corridor property <br />owners and other interested citizens. It would report <br />to the four governing bodies with jurisdiction over <br />the corridor. <br />In August of 1990, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br />designated New Hope Creek as an "Important Regiortal <br />Wetland."

Direct the Planning Staff to coordinate with the <br />Chapel Hill Planning Staff and propose appropri- <br />ate amendments to the Joint Planning Area Land <br />Use Plan, including recommendations from the New <br />Hope Corridor Master Plan. <br />Both Items 1 and 2 can be included <br />Joint Planning Area Public Hearing <br />Chapel Hill and Carrboro in October <br />as part of the <br />with the Towns of <br />1991. <br />I �F <br />
