Citizen Plan #3 for Twin Creeks Park/School Campus 3t <br />Feature <br />Analysis <br />Shared use of parking <br />Co- location of schools and parks is intended, an-long other benefits, to <br />allow shared use of parking lots for over -flow parking during special <br />events, reducing the amount of impervious surface and the cost of <br />paving. This benefit remains unchanged. <br />Conformance to <br />All of the guiding principles, except the arbitrary requirement that the <br />CHATPEC "Guiding <br />school sites be north of the creek, continue to be met to the same extent <br />Principles" document <br />that they are met by the county plans. This includes but is not limited to <br />the goals of: preservation of stream corridors, open space, active and <br />passive recreation components, preservation of historic farmstead and <br />pre- historic sites, sensitivity to neighboring homes, seamless integration <br />of school and park usage, community gym at the ES. <br />Historical note: the county guidance to the CHATPEC conunittee restricting the school <br />sites to the north side of the creek appeals to have been based on the fact that the CHCCS <br />School Board had been attempting to purchase the former Hunter tract adjacent to <br />Eubanks Rd, before the county purchased the combined Hunter and Cates tracts. No <br />justification for continuing this restriction was ever presented to the CHATPEC <br />committee. <br />Contact Information: <br />The following people are coordinating the effort to obtain consideration for the citizen - <br />created plan 93: <br />Bhavna Patel (919) 967 -8167 bhavna(,Dne,iT.com - Lake Hogan Farm resident <br />coordinator <br />*Matthew Barton 967- 1943(h), 465- 2266x16(w) Matthew.Barton iOeee.org <br />*Judy Margolis 968- 3423(h) imarao� lis n,bellsouth.net <br />Pam Hemminger (919) 942 -2273 iphemminger@bellsouth.net <br />* indicates they were a member of the CHATPEC planning committee and participated in <br />the planning sessions for the campus. <br />11/29/2004 Page 4 of 6 <br />
