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. Michelle Kempinski: Is that the 4.1 acre parcel that Rich referred to in his memo. Jay Bryan: You don't mention that in our recommendations. Glenn Bowles: That is not part of the subdivision although it was part of the concept plan. Judith Wegner. We are sure. that will happen. Glenn Bowles: It is their intent. Judith Wegner.
