18 <br /> 1 Slide #5 <br /> Tonight's Purpose <br /> To consider approval of the 2021 Greene Tract <br /> Resolution <br /> ■ Approve the Draft Recombination Plat (i.e.shifts <br /> property lines)for the: <br /> ■ County-owned tract(60 acres)and <br /> • Joint-owned tract(approximately 107 acres) <br /> ■ Approve the Conceptual Plan (i.e. placement of acreage <br /> and land uses on the map)for the: <br /> ■ 104-acre portion of the Greene Tract in Joint Ownership between <br /> OC,CH,and C <br /> ■ B0-acre reconfigured OC Headwaters Preserve <br /> 2 <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Craig Benedict said within the last four years, there has been a lot more interest from <br /> 5 local governments and community to move forward. He said there are affordable housing <br /> 6 needs, but no decisions have been made on how this area will be developed. He said adopting <br /> 7 this resolution is an incremental step to determine what lands could be available and what lands <br /> 8 could be preserved. He said next steps will involve non-profits, the housing department, etc. <br /> 9 He said tonight's resolution would provide for roughly 23 acres for what was originally orange <br /> 10 county land will become jointly owned, and 23 acres of joint land will become part of <br /> 11 Headwaters Preserve, so all balances out. He said this is a conceptual plan, not developments, <br /> 12 and just seeks to find the best place for preservation areas and developmental areas. He said <br /> 13 part of that process involves the school board. He said the conceptual plan does show the <br /> 14 different uses on a map. He said Orange County and Carrboro did agree to put them on a map <br /> 15 in a 2020 resolution, but decided to do an investigation for the environmental preserve area <br /> 16 instead. He said 95% is the same as it was previously, but the school board has also been <br /> 17 involved in additional discussions to determine best school site. He resumed the PowerPoint <br /> 18 presentation: <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Slide #6 <br /> Recommendation <br /> The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> ■ Receive the Resolution; <br /> ■ Discuss as appropriate; and <br /> ■ Approve the Resolution contained in <br /> Attachment 1 and authorize the Chair to sign. <br /> 21 <br />
