13 November and December, 2001, the governing bodies each adopted resolutions endorsing the three basic uses, with some variations in emphasis and issues noted. In February, 2002, the. Work Group began reviewing options for a preliminary concept plan based on a site analysis. On March 21, 2002, the Work Group adopted a draft resolution in concept. The Work Group: ,~_-_ • Reached substantial agreement on a concept plan showing approximately 78 acres earmazked for open space protected by a conservation .easement and approximately 15 acres for affordable housing; • Has not yet reached agreement on about 11 acres regarding the designation; • Forwarded the proposal to the three governing boazds and recommended they accept it as an interim progress report; • Recommended the Board of County Commissioners protect its 60 acre portion by executing a conservation easement also; • Recommended the Chapel Hill Town Council consider initiating a small area plan for the Purefoy Road azea; and • Supported renaming the property to recognize the significance of the azea as .the headwaters for three important streams (Bolin, Old Field Creek, and Booker Creek). A Work Group draft resolution requests that each governing boazd agree to extend the April 17, 2002 end of the bargaining period in the Interlocal Agreement 60 days to permit finalizing a concept plan.
