9 <br />consider whether a new Preliminary Concept Plan should be a precursor to such an <br />effort. <br />Because this will involve a dramatic departure from original plans and studies, staff <br />estimates that this type of redesign would also take 6-12 months (depending on the <br />type of process) to emerge with a new Master Plan. <br />Process: There are a number of different methods for Options Cl and C2. A new work group could be <br />created to conduct the redesign - and the model for Option B above (a smaller, ad hoc work group) <br />could also be that vehicle. Otherpossibilities undoubtedly exist. <br />The above options have been developed with the knowledge that 2 r/ years have elapsed <br />since the Board appointed the CHATPEC Master Plan Work Group. The Work Group <br />met from October 2002 - May 2003 and included 23 persons, with representatives from <br />County and Town elected and advisory boards, both schools boards, parents, and area <br />citizens Staff has attempted to convey options above that do not attempt to duplicate <br />that effort. <br />Finally, there are two important considerations. <br />L As noted above, Options B, Cl and C2 will require moderate to significant time <br />and resources toward redesign efforts for the project. This would have <br />implications in the way of delays for other park design and/or construction <br />projects. At this time, construction on components of Efland Cheeks Park Phase <br />II and Smith Fields is underway The design process at Northern Park is nearing <br />completion, Current timetables call for design work for the Fairview Public <br />Campus and Park to get underway in the spring. If a moderate or full redesign is <br />pursued for Twin Creeks, sufficient resources will not be available to conduct all <br />of these activities, and may require Fairview and perhaps the pre-construction <br />phase of Northern to be delayed until later in 2005 or early 2006. <br />2. In each of these options, the end product will be a master plan to guide site <br />approvals and eventual construction. At the end of the options above, there will <br />still be many steps for Twin Creeks before phase 1 of the park can be constructed: <br />• 6-9 months of preparing the Carrboro Conditional Use Permit (CUP) <br />application (pre-construction drawing details will be required for Phase 1 of <br />the park, including engineering work on stormwater and road design) <br />• Approval of the CUP application by the BOCC <br />• Subsequently, 12 months for Carrboro consideration and approval of the CUP <br />application for Phase 1 of the park <br />• 3-6 months of pre-construction detail (finalized construction drawings, <br />construction bid development, solicitation and recommendation) <br />• 1 month for approval of a construction bid for Phasel of the project <br />0 8-12 months for actual construction of Phase 1 of the park
