4 Attachment 2 Adams Tract Questions and Responses Questions to Town of Carrboro: 1. Please clarify all intended uses of the property (all 29 acres). To provide environmental protection for surface waters and urban drinking water supplies and establishing a network of riparian greenways for environmental, educational, and recreational uses • To allow passive recreational uses of the Property including walking, biking, and fishing • To allow public access to the property for the purpose of conducting educational tours, scientific studies, maintenance of the Property, and any other purposes consistent with maintaining the conservation value. 2. Where exactly is the route of the proposed Bolin Creek Greenway -which side of Bolin Creek would it follow in this area? The Route has not been determined, but it is anticipated that the greenway will follow the creek corridor. 3. Who would own the property? If Carrboro is to own it, would Carrboro grant a conservation easement to Orange County that stipulated prohibited future uses for purposes other than open space and greenways? The State of North Carolina will be the Grantee and holder of the conservation easement for acres purchased with Clean Water Management Trust (CWMT) funds. The CWMT Fund is authorized by Article 13A, Chapter 113 of the General Statutes of North Carolina ("N.C.G.S.") to finance projects and to acquire land and interests in land, including conservation easements for riparian buffers for the purposes of providing environmental protection for surface waters and urban drinking water supplies and establishing a network of riparian greenways for environmental, educational, and recreational uses. For the remaining acres purchased with Orange County funds, The Town of Carrboro would grant Orange County a conservation easement. 4. Would conservation easements (either Clean Water or potential County easement) preclude the current mountain bike use?
