Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational Campus Update <br />Environment and Resource Conservation Director Dave Stancil gave a presentation. <br />He showed a map of the 193-acre campus that was purchased in 2001. The master plan work <br />group began meeting last year to begin developing the master plan. Activities of the work group <br />have included getting to know the site through tours and producing a document showing the <br />challenges and opportunities. Also, members of the work group have been asked to provide <br />them with a general sense of each community's needs. These needs have been incorporated <br />into the planning phase. In the last couple of months, they have discussed the Joint Planning <br />Area Agreement and the implications of this being in the transition area. They have also <br />discussed Carrboro's Northern Transition Area study. They have broken up into two <br />subcommittees. The goal is to refine the concept plan and then tie it together into a master <br />plan. The group will hold a public forum in June before issuing the master plan report. <br />
