Tryon St., Hillsborough, NC 27278 (919) 245-2660 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Glen Bowles, Orange County Planner <br />From: Steve Peck, Chair Qlak ~"~ <br />Recreation and Parks Advisory Council <br />Re: Bramco Partners Subdivision Proposal <br />Date: April 22, 2008 <br />Thank you .for the opportunity to review the preliminary plat for this subdivision and the proposed <br />Payment-in-lieu of dedicated recreation area. <br />The Recreation and Parks Advisory Council reviewed the original concept plan and provided a <br />recommendation on June 26, 2007. The preliminary plat has some noteworthy changes. RPAC is <br />please to see that that portions of the property to the west and southwest, which abut properties <br />held by the State of North Carolina, specifically for the Eno River State Park, are in the process of <br />being conveyed to the state. We believe this connection will benefit the proposed community as <br />well as the Eno River State Park and those who frequent it. <br />RPAC recommends approval of the $8,645 payment in lieu of dedicated recreation. The Council <br />has also noted the six tracts of open space proposed for dedication to the neighborhood <br />association. These areas will serve to protect the streams and slopes in the area while providing <br />open space for the community. The Council would also like to point out that the addition of one or <br />more recreation amenities such as a picnic shelter and/or playground or basketball court would <br />also be beneficial to the neighborhood and could even be sited as a focal point for potential <br />homeowners as they enter from Cabe Ford Rd, or more centrally in tract "C." <br />cc: Lori Taft <br />
