Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks & Recreation <br />PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Phone: (919) 245-2510 <br />Fax: (919) 644-3351 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: Bonnie Hammersley, County Manager <br /> <br />From: David Stancil, DEAPR Director <br /> Kim Livingston, Land Conservation Manager <br /> <br />Date: February 22, 2018 <br /> <br />Re: Updated Lands Public Access Table and Map <br /> <br />As requested by a Board petition in late 2017, we have updated information on <br />the County’s future park, nature preserve and open space landholdings that do <br />not have public access. Attached is a table with several such locations, their <br />status, and what would be needed to accommodate public access. There is also <br />a map of these locations. Some of the sites are very small dedications received <br />(mostly in the 1980’s and 1990’s) of open space through new subdivision <br />development. <br /> <br />This table and map updates a similar report provided on September 6, 2016. As <br />can be seen in the final column, signage has been placed in several locations <br />that addresses the lack of formal public access and the fact that access is and <br />has been occurring on some of these properties on “volunteer” trails or paths <br />created by other persons in the past. One result of the September 2016 review of <br />this topic was the creation of “enter at your own risk” signage to alert members of <br />the public to the lack of managed public open space conditions. <br /> <br />Provision of more formal public access can be accomplished, although as noted, <br />this will mean making provision for parking, safety and a higher level of <br />monitoring and maintenance. These improvements will require funding, which in <br />many cases does not yet exist. <br /> <br />Please let us know if we may provide any additional information. <br />1
