Article 7: Subdivisions Section 7.11: Recreational Facilities Orange County, North Carolina – Unified Development Ordinance Page 7-33 (b) Where a recreation area is not accessible due to lot arrangement, the Planning Department and/or Planning Board may recommend, and the Board of County Commissioners may require, the dedication of connecting paths which link the recreation area with other streets within the subdivision (see figure below). (i) Connecting paths so required shall be in addition to the land required in Section 7.11.2 above. (ii) Connecting paths may require a right-of-way of up to 50 feet in width but in no case shall the path right-of-way be less than 30 feet in width. Figure 7.11.3.E.3: Connecting Paths 7.11.4 Site Improvements (A) Private recreation facilities, either required or provided at the option of the subdivider/applicant, shall meet the standards for site improvements contained in the Table below. (B) When choosing improvements for a recreational area, the anticipated characteristics and needs of the residents shall be considered in conjunction with the size of the development, any physical constraints posed by the site, and the availability of other improvements within the same general area as the subdivision. (1) As an example, the existence of a multi-purpose court in an adjacent, existing subdivision and the availability of the facility for use by residents of the proposed subdivision may indicate to the subdivider/applicant that another facility, such as a tennis court, would be more appropriate. (C) Recreation facilities which are suitable for various age groups include, but are not limited to those shown in the Table below. (D) Trash receptacles shall be provided for all recreational areas regardless of the number and type of other improvements located thereon. 187
