Michelle Kempinski: I was referring to the 50-foot right of way providing public access to the publicly dedicated greenway and recreation open space. Glenn Bowles: That will come from this direction. There is actually two lots ant that will be in between. This is the 4.7 acre parcel that is part of this subdivision that will be eventually as public recreational space and given to the Eno River Association and then to the State Park System. Michelle Kempinski: That is for a road, a potential future road. Glenn Bowles: No, it is not a road at all, it is a walkway. Michelle Kempinski: It states that it may be used for the purpose of extending public roads. Glenn Bowles: This will not be a public road or provide public access into the park directly. The people in the subdivision will be able to use this. Michelle Kempinski: I am on page 242, number 7 of the application. Glenn Bowles: Those are referring to this lot and this lot. (Continued presentation). Larry Wright: What types of streams are these? Glenn Bowles: They have required buffers, which are, regulated streams. Michelle Kempinski: What is the buffer size? Glenn Bowles: For the most part it is 80 feet. (Continued presentation). Renee Price: Why is that triangle going through the process of homeownership then the association and then the state? Glenn Bowles: One of the considerations tonight is should that be accepted as other open space to be dedicated because if not, the subdivision developers are the hook for in lieu of park dedication. One of our questions tonight, is it appropriate to accept this land for public recreational open space land through our normal process. If so, we could not dedicate it directly to the Eno River Association because they are a private entity. Renee Price: You said it would be part of the homeowner's association first and there would be no trespassing so it becomes part of the subdivision and then at some point after it would be transferred off the subdivision. Glenn Bowles: Our suggestion is that this parcel be dedicated to the County first and then the County in turn will give it to the Eno River Association. These other lands will be in homeowner's association, ownership and management. Michelle Kempinski: The parcel adjoining the river to the west will be land that has been transferred? Glenn Bowles: There is an agreement between the Eno River Association and the owners of the property that land will be donated to the Eno River Association. That deal has not happened and will in October.
