Approved 9/3/14 <br />3 <br /> 109 <br />Marabeth Carr: We do offer movie in the park. It is popular. 110 <br /> 111 <br />Tony Blake: A place where a small group in the community could organize something like that and possibly do 112 <br />fundraising. 113 <br /> 114 <br />Paul Guthrie: Let me give you an example, what you don’t want national parks services that says you can only do 115 <br />what we tell you in our park. You have a community park and community interest that can go beyond the community 116 <br />but at the same time there are port to that locality. 117 <br /> 118 <br />Tony Blake: A lot of people have expressed interest in a park, something that is already existing, and I thought that 119 <br />Cane Creek was attractive to people because it is already there. The problem is access. 120 <br /> 121 <br />Marabeth Carr: It is hard for OWASA to provide recreation. 122 <br /> 123 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: I am in the Bingham Township area, I feel like we don’t have any park and recreation so we take 124 <br />advantage of the Chapel Hill/Carrboro parks. I see you have a future Rogers Road community center. Will that also 125 <br />be in connection with the St. Paul’s Church and what they are doing? 126 <br /> 127 <br />Marabeth Carr: I am not involved in that project so I don’t know. 128 <br /> 129 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: We had the parks and recreation center on Homestead Road and now the Hargrave Center is 130 <br />covering that part of the area, are you getting away from that? 131 <br /> 132 <br />Marabeth Carr: That is one of the hanging questions is community centers. It is a huge issue because it involves so 133 <br />many other aspects. 134 <br /> 135 <br />Andrea Rohrbacher: Chapel Hill has been moving to get the community more available time in the community 136 <br />centers they do have. 137 <br /> 138 <br />Marabeth Carr: Northern Human Services Center tried to do a community center and it did not get the numbers. 139 <br />Some of the centers are in rural areas; it is hard to get people to them. Efland Cheeks is coming along and is heavily 140 <br />used on odd hours. 141 <br /> 142 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: You also have the White Cross area, is that the future Bingham District Park? 143 <br /> 144 <br />Marabeth Carr: The Bingham District never secured a property. 145 <br /> 146 <br />Maxecine Mitchell: Is that still on the table? 147 <br /> 148 <br />Marabeth Carr: It is still in the plan. 149 <br /> 150 <br />Craig Benedict: I have a follow up to what Marabeth was saying about the progression of activity in Orange County 151 <br />and how it interfaces with the Unified Development Ordinance. We collect parks and recreation fees for projects. 152 <br />They can dedicate land (one fifty seventh of an acre for every lot) or flood plain (one twentieth of an acre). When we 153 <br />examined the 1988 plan in year 2000 about how much was collected per lot and if that does pay for the parks and 154 <br />recreation for that park, we found we needed more of a track record of building parks over the last 10 years. On 155 <br />page 125 through 127 it says areas for further study and that is one of them. We need to reexamine what our future 156 <br />park inventory will be with what type of activity. We still have work ahead. There is no master trail plan. 157 <br /> 158 <br />Paul Guthrie: I also work on a transportation committee; you mentioned one place the transportation issue. I think it 159 <br />would be helpful to accelerate the communications with the evolving transportation organizing in Orange County for 160 <br />the long haul (15 year period) so the transportation managing organization, planning, parks and recreations can have 161 <br />a common dialogue because transportation will be a growing problem. 162
