PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. MASTER RECREATION AND PARKS PLAN
Chair Marshall stated that concerns have been raised about the
location of the proposed parks and noted that the sites have not been
determined. The circles on the map indicate only an area -- not a specific
location. She noted that she cannot ever foresee that any future Board
would move in and condemn land for recreational purposes when the family
that owns that land does not want to sell.
Recreation and Parks Director Mary Anne Black presented slides
which gave an overview of the process that was~used in developing the
proposed Master Recreation and Parks Plan and how the plan is unique in
that it addresses those recreation and park needs for the County far the
next twenty years.
The Public Hearing was open for citizen comments.
CHARLES BURGER , member of the Orange County Recreation and Parks
Advisory Council, stated he takes his responsibilities very seriously. He
expressed his advocacy for the cause of public parks and recreation in ._,-._r
Orange County. He noted that only through a well planned initiative by
County Government can we put together a parks system which meets the
recreational needs of orange County citizens. Civic and volunteer'''`'
organizations are important but are only a part of the whole structure. He
asked that adequate support be given to the talented and dedicated
recreational staff so they can deliver their services. He stated that the
plan is both proper and reasonable for Orange County. He talked about the
vision and courage that would be needed by the Board to initiate the Plan.
FRANK SHEFFIELD spoke in strong support of the proposed Master Parks
Plan and in particular the idea of a district park in the vicinity of a
proposed new reservoir that will be built somewhere near Hillsborough. He
also supported the need for a swimming pool at Orange High School. In
general he stated that more parks are needed in Orange County. He pointed
out that there is not a public swimming pool available north of Chapel Hi11
and there is a desperate need for a pool in the northern part of the
County.
GRAINGER BARRETT spoke in support of the Master Plan. Parks are a
legacy for generations to came. He emphasized that approval of the plan is
the first step before going to the citizens with a bond referendum to pay
for these parks and pools. The bonds will be spread over a twenty year
period and will be the best dollars spent in Orange County.
LIBBY LUDINGTON spoke about the controversy that the plan has aroused
and her surprise at this controversy indicating a lot had to do with a lack
of understanding of what the Master Park Plan actually is. It is important
for the people to know that the County is not going to take their land ar
raise taxes. The County is growing with a rapid pace of development which
makes it critical that the County have a plan for the next twenty years or
even the next fifty years. Without a plan, the County will not be a very ---~
attractive place and people will not want to come to a place without green
space and recreational facilities. She noted that there are a lot of
people who have been silent before who have not spoken out and that~s~
represented many people who have not come to the public hearings but who
strongly support the plan and she thinks it is an excellent plan.
GEORGE CHOCKLEY from Cedar Grove Township stated he is not against
___,recreation, swimming pools or any form of recreation but is against the
,master plan for rural Orange County. He stated that rural Orange County is
.;going to be developed in the next fifteen to twenty years but the plan, if
approved, will be implemented as soon as feasible which will throw the
burden of cost on a sparsely populated rural Orange County. He suggested
waiting until the area becomes more populated to implement the plan because
there will be a base to draw from.
JAMES R. SMITH spoke in opposition to the entire Master Plan. He is
not opposed to the idea of swimming pools or parks and swimming pools in
the schools. He emphasized that although the Master Plan has been studied,
very little attention has been given to the details of the plan. He noted
that when the plan is evaluated using a set of criteria that it fails in
the technical and pragmatic approach, cost analysis and organization and
management. Assumptions were made that determined the numerous
contributing factors which influenced the needs and are neither stated or
discussed. There is no supportive data or discussion of utilization rates
or current or proposed facilities. Alternative approaches, if any were
considered, are not discussed in the plan. He asked that the Board study
the Plan before accepting it.
CAROL RIGGS submitted a petition with 531 signatures. The petition
read . as follows
"We the undersigned taxpayers of Orange County N.C. hereby petition the
Orange County Board of Commissioners to dispose of the proposed Parks and
Recreation Greenway program which is totally unacceptable. The Greenway
plan is too expensive and invades the rights of land owners in Orange
County. We the people of orange County demand that the elected
~~;Commissioners condemn the proposed Greenway plan immediately before any
,further tax dollars are wasted. "
..._._,, MINERVA KENYON , member of the Tree Board, spoke in support of
designated and managed places for recreation space. Parks have trees and
they are important to the whole community.
TERESA LOCIiLEAR read a statement which asked the Commissioners what
the basis of their assumption was that gave them the power and authority to
tell the people how they can and cannot use their property.
LAURENCE GIRRARD talked about land that had been in the family for
generations. He expressed concern about the proposed community park in the
Caldwell area and noted that the circle on the map landed on 140 acres of
Miller property. He stated that the money could be used for better things
in Orange County. He is opposed to the Plan. He distributed a copy of his
statements to the Board Members.
BEN LLOYD stated he does not oppose parks or swimming pools and that
the decision to delete the greenways was a good decision. He made
reference to the tax rate and noted that the schools have dire needs. He
stated that the County cannot afford to spend money at this particular time
on parks and recreation. He made reference to a contract to put sewage to
his house and indicated that this line should be run before money is spent
on parks and swimming pools. He is against the plan at this time but will
support it when and if the time comes that Orange County can afford it.
HERVEY MCGIVEN spoke in support of the Master Plan. He feels it is a
farsighted effort by the County to address the needs that wi1~, exist in the
future. He also supports the flexibility provided in the plan for
.implementing certain aspects of the plan. The plan should go to referendum
.and it is his hope that there will be parks in Orange County.
- PEARSON STEWART spoke in support of the Master Plan. The need for land
for parks will continue to increase and become more difficult and mare
expensive to acquire. He urged the County Commissioners to come up with a
financial plan which will permit the gradual acquisition of both schools,
sewers and parkland over a period of years because all are necessary.
ROBERT NICHOLS stated he is not opposed to parks and recreation but
considers the plan a partial plan because the financing of it is not
included in how to obtain what is wanted. The property owners cannot
support everything that is needed. A financial plan is needed which
includes all the people. He suggested a sales tax that would tax all the
people.
MARIE TATE stated there are no parks or recreational facilities for
the children in Cheeks Township. She is not opposed to the Plan. She is
far the future and what can be done now for those that have no facilities.
She is against waiting twenty years for these recreational facilities..
SUSAN WALDROP expressed her surprise at finding there were no pools or
parks in Hillsborough when she moved to the area eight years ago. She
feels the community does not have adequate parks or recreational facilities
and thus Orange County may not be the attractive location in which
companies may want to locate. Investing now to make Orange County a better
place to live and work is making good use of the County's tax dollars.
FLETCHER REIMAN stated the proposa], does not contain facts on how to
fund it. He questioned how anyone could vote to support the plan.
JEAN FORREST asked about a statement made by Mary Anne Black with
regards to OWASA. Mary Anne Black explained that the Master Plan proposes
a district park in conjunction with the OWASA reservoir and adjoining
properties. Patrick Davis, Assistant Director of OWASA, explained that
oWASA has participated in the discussion about a Cane Creek district park.
They will review some development plans with the County in the upcoming
months. There are recreation activities at University Lake which are
provided by OWASA. The uses of the Cane Creek Reservoir and the
appropriate funding would need to be determined.
DAVID SMUDSKI , member of the Orange County Recreation and Parks
Advisory Council, stressed and illustrated the need for recreational
facilities. Pools are needed in rural Orange County. He suggested that a
way needs to be found to finance these needs.
DOROTHY BAIN noted that the Southgate Home is owned by the State and
would be a wonderful recreational area for the County. Eno desperately
needs water and sewer and she would like mare clean industry in that area.
WITH NO FURTHER COMMENTS, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.

of some of the facilities that are included in the project. Water, sewer
and roads needs to be improved. Housing needs to be upgraded.
