• West of Cameron Street • North of the Eno River Upon Board confirmation, the following assumptions regarding the use of the land would be cited to the architect: • The area that is presently River Park land would remain dedicated to park/open space, with extremely minimal, if any encroachment by parking. • The area that is presently River Park could be utilized for part or all of a Farmer's Market Facility, if the final design indicated that to be the optimal location. • The building in which the Sheriff's Department is located should be left intact if at all possible. (The Court Campus Master Plan recommends its removal.) • The Occaneechi Indian Village remains as is. • A multi-level parking deck remains an acceptable solution to providing adequate parking to the area. The revised master plan would be presented to the Board for approval before commencement of the actual design process for the Courthouse. Should the Board so direct, the firm who produced the Court Campus Master Plan could be contacted regarding availability for the expanded plan and a contract for such presented to the Board for consideration in the near future.
