I i — Some of the water quality /quantity assessment could be performed in house, but the drainage calculations would need to be contracted out 2 — Some of this work could be performed in- house, but EIS preparation is time - intensive and may best be accomplished by contracting out this work While all park master plans (and construction drawings for smaller -scale park projects) can be prepared in -house by the Open Space Design Specialist, the scope of the Twin Creeks project and the myriad of engineering needs will require that substantial portions be contracted out as shown above. A few of the items listed above could possibly be accomplished by staff (such as water quality /quantity analysis and Environmental Impact Statement), but given existing workloads, and the fact that other closely- related work would be contracted, it may be more efficient to simply add these activities to the contracted design work. Next Steps /Other Issues Needing Discussion As we move into the permit/approval /pre - construction phase of the project, several other issues may need to be addressed by the Board: 1. The method and degree of coordination between CHCCS and the County on the Master Plan, and the permit approval processes for the schools. 2. The potential for coordination with proposed development activity to the south (the proposed Villages at Berkeley), on issues such as the parkway, 3. Funding for future phases of the park 4. Ownership of land on the educational campus portion of the site 5. Agreements on sharing of facilities & Uses of the existing farmstead buildings, and plans to stabilize and renovate the structures 7. Discussions with OWASA and Carrboro about stream corridor protection and sewer outfall offsets along Jones Creek. 8. The ultimate location of the proposed Lake Hogan Farm Road Extension, including issues of timing of construction 9. Potential programming opportunities at the park 10.Further archaeological work to determine the extent and significance of the rhyolite quarry area. 11. Potential environmental initiatives, including coordination with Duke Forest on environmental education opportunities, and the potential for re- creation of a "Piedmont Prairie" perhaps in conjunction with Piedmont EMC. In terms of scope and size, the Twin Creeks (Moniese Nomp) Park and Educational Campus may be the largest coordinated design and construction project in the County's history. As this site begins to take shape over the next several years, communication and coordination will be needed with CHCCS and the Town of Carrboro, among others, to ensure that Twin Creeks becomes the
