I. Executive Summary
The Orange County Assembly of Governments discussed equity and efficiency issues related
to the delivery of local government services and focused on the area of recreation and park
services. The consensus of this group was..."That the local government staffs make
recommendations to their governing bodies about opportunities for joint planning for and use
of capital improvements for recreation and park services. And, that both school systems be
involved in any cooperative venture." A Recreation and Park Work Group was formed with
representatives from the local governments of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County and
both the Chapel Hill-Canboro and Orange County School Boards. The Town of
Hillsborough administration chose to not actively participate at this time. This report entails
the issues considered by all parties and assigned to the Recreation and Park Work Group.
To succeed in mutual planning for recreation and parks, planning requires needs assessment
and developing uniform standards across the jurisdictions. In setting standards for recreation
and park needs in the coming years, it is necessary to recognize the unique impact of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on this process. This is because the institution
accounts for a large part of the population of Orange County, while at the same time offering
a range of facilities and services to its shidents and employees. Thee are, for example, about
8,000 students living in dorms and another 3,000 living in fraternities and sororities whose
recreation and park needs are largely met by the University.
A related factor to consider is that the portion of the projected growth in population for
Orange County that comes from the University will continue to decrease steadily. Put
differently, a growing proportion of the population in Orange County will come from in-
migrants whose jobs are located throughout the Triangle Area and this group of residents will
look to the three governmental jurisdictions to meet their needs for recreation and parks.
Another factor to consider is that the population growth that is projected for Orange County
will come primarily from the towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. At the same time, the
unincorporated areas of the county are becoming more urbanized with the additional
subdivisions that are being approved. This means that the demand for recreation and parks
will increase as the population becomes more urbanized across Orange County. With our
population growing, land is becoming more scarce and recreation demands are increasing.
Taken together, these factors point to the need to expand recreation and park facilities and
services at an accelerating rate over the coming years.
The Recreation and Park Work Group's initial goals focused specifically on the tasks
assigned and agreed upon by the governmental jurisdictions convening as the Orange County
Page 1
y
Assembly of Governments. The conclusions drawn forth involve three specific actions and
they are:
• Standardize recreation sections of land use ordinance across jurisdictions.
• Employ joint siting, designing, and management of school and parks sites across
jurisdictions.
• Use public/private partnerships across jurisdictions.
The major bulk of the context of this report provides documentation of the Recreation and
Park Work Group's deliberations. The last section provides specific recommendations on the
tasks assigned. Recommendations to be considered at this juncture include the following:
• Set standards based on ranking with other Triangle Area counties. Determine
type of park and recreation facilities to be surveyed. Develop mechanism for
annual review of park and facilities standards by all jurisdictions.
• Although the three jurisdictions use different formulae to define their recreation
and park requirements within their Land Use Ordinances, the philosophy and
intent of all are the same. It is recommended that the three Planning Departments
consider developing a most preferred set of recreation requirements that could be
included in all three jurisdictions' Land Use Ordinances.
• It is recommended that all new school sites be planned to include park
facilities and that existing school sites be improved with recreation and park
amenities where it is mutually beneficial to the school system and
governmental Jurisdiction(s) to do so.
• Standardize all documents used by the three jurisdictions when contracting with
private recreation providers. (Personnel,Facilities,Program Management)
• That Orange County publish and update annually the listing of private recreation
vendors and facilities on the new information referral network currently being
developed in Orange County. Also, include models of existing, successful
public/private partnerships, i.e. Triangle Sportsplex, Chapel Hill Senior Center,
etc.
• Establish a bi-annual meeting or forum for private and public recreation providers
for information sharing and establishing new public/private initiatives.
In addition, the Recreation and Park Work Group felt that it was important to add to the
recommendation section a "Future Directions/Trends" listing that is inclusive of ideas
Page 2
ti
generated by the Recreation and Park Work Group during their meetings. These are as
follows:
• Bond referenda for recreation and park projects
• Comprehensive program planning to avoid duplication of services and service
gaps
• Joint ventures in the area of After-School programming
• Status of swimming pools in Orange County
• Mechanisms for funding facilities by all jurisdictions
• Recreation and Parks District Tax
• Funding equity issues (who pays for what, now and in the future?)
• Joint School/Park use of the Greene Tract
II. Local Park Standards and Land Use Ordinances
Introduction
Park and recreation facility standards are a nationally recognized method for determining the
quality of recreation and park facilities available to a public jurisdiction's service population.
The importance of establishing standards is recognized because they are:
--an expression of minimum acceptable facilities for the citizens of urban and
rural communities.
--a guideline to determine land requirements for various kinds of park and
recreation areas.
--a basis for relating recreational needs to spatial analysis within a community
wide system of parks and open space areas.
--one of the major structuring elements that can be used to guide and assist
regional park and recreation development.
--a means to justify the need for parks and open space within the overall land-use
pattern.
The basis upon which a community's standards are set is constantly changing. This section
explains some of the concepts surrounding the establishment of this recreation and park
planning tool.
Page 3
Another important part of park planning involves the recreation and park requirements
commonly used in Land Use Ordinances. A community's total recreation inventory comes
from what the general tax base can afford plus the recreation lands or facilities provided by
Private development. Therefore, the recreation sections of the Land Use Ordinances for all
three jurisdictions were reviewed by the Recreation and Park Work Group.
Park Standards
• Please refer to Appendix 1 for a full comparison of previously adopted park
classifications for each jurisdiction. Park types are classified into six types; Regional,
District, Community,Neighborhood, Mini Park, and Linear Park.
• There are national and state standards for park classification and all three jurisdictions
considered both of these standards in compiling their local standards. Appendix 3 shows
graphical examples of each park type.
• The jurisdictions' standards are established using ratios of acreage to population which
have been established for each type of park. Most of the standards are very similar.
There appears to be no overriding factor against making the standards the same.
• A linear park or greenway is an area where conformity to a standard is difficult, if not
impossible. This type of park is usually predicated upon the need for stream buffering,
transportation, scenic hiking, etc. A more serious effort would be fruitful in developing
standards for the type of construction on common greenways so that a paved trail does
not end at one jurisdiction's limits and a beaten path extend along the same corridor into
the adjoining jurisdiction.
• Most of the information above relates to the development of standards for public
recreation facilities. These are "population driven", and national and state averages are
used as a base line upon which to determine local standards. Facility standards are
detailed in Appendix 2. Program demands unique to one locale may drive a standard to a
higher or lower level than national and state averages.
• All three jurisdictions considered UNC-CH and school facilities but did not factor them
into the standards. UNC-CH has many recreation and park amenities such as the
Botanical Gardens, Finley Golf Course, Kenan Stadium and other recreation facilities.
National and state standards do not reflect these types of quasi-public facilities. The
Page 4
e
local school teams, after-school and summer programs at the Orange County and Chapel
Hill-Carrboro systems schools eliminate much of the availability of school recreation
facilities for programs for public programs. The Recreation and Park Work Croup was
more concerned with the uniqueness of UNC-CH and the impact of their recreation
facilities on the development of standards.
• The Work Croup determined that in applying standards to the population of Orange
County, that 11,000 (students living in dormitories and fratemities/sororities) people
could be subtracted from population totals in deriving park acreage needs. The
assumption underlying this adjustment is that these students reside on campus and have
their recreation needs met wholly by UNC-CH, while others in the towns and county rely
largely on the three jurisdictions' facilities.
• Again, the standards for public park and recreation facilities adopted by each jurisdiction
are very similar. Standards for both park types and recreation facilities might be difficult
to make generic for an entire county. Often, urban and rural perceived needs of the
number of parks and facilities differ in that the urban demand is usually greater.
• Orange County has a "Master Recreation and Park Plan" that was adopted in July 1988.
Chapel Hill established standards as part of their "Community Facilities Report" updated
and adopted in June of 1989. Carrboro adopted a "Comprehensive Recreation and Parks
Master Plan" in March of 1995.
• Population has been the most widely recognized determinant in developing standards.
The following chart represents population projections for Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and
Orange County through year 2010.

• Due to the proximity of Eno State Park, Umstead State Park, Jordan and Falls Lakes, it
can be assumed that Orange County is served well on the regional, state level. Therefore
regional parks are not discussed in this report.
Page 5

• If one accepts the standards that have been previously adopted and that population can
determine,the number of park types and facilities needed; then, population projections can
determine the number of parks and facilities required to serve the minimum recreation and
park needs at any given future year.
• For purposes of the following calculations for the "Park Type" chart below, Carrboro
standards will be used since they are the most recently revised.
• The NC Office of State Planning certifies the population of counties and municipalities on
July 1 for the past fiscal year. The following chart represents the most updated
information on present population in Orange County.
STATE OF NC CER'T'IFIED POPULATION
July 1, 1992 July 1, July 1, 1994
1993
Cha el Hill 41,524 42,918 449470
Carrboro 12,786 13,052 14,037
County 99,674 101,599 104,668
Source:NC Office of State Planning
• Orange County had a total population of 104,668 in 1994. Discounting the 11,000
student residents on the UNC-CH campus would bring this total down to 93,668. A brief
evaluation of need by park types (Appendix 1) based on Carrboro's standards for this
population follows:
Park Type Acreage Needed to Existing
Meet Standard Acres
District Parks 468 0
Communi Parks 749 398
Nei hborhood Parks 187 86
Mini Parks 23 45
TOTAL 19427 529
• The above chart reflects approximately how far the entire County is behind in maintaining
a minimum standard of park types. The "Existing Acres" column includes both
developed and undeveloped park properties presently owned by the three jurisdictions.
Page 6
•. Between 1993 and 1994, county population grew by 3,069 (all residential growth off
campus). During July 1, 1994 to July 1, 1995, municipal planners project the combined
growth in Canboro and Chapel Hill to total 2,417. These two municipalities, in order to
meet Chapel Hill's standard for this projected year, would need to acquire and develop an
additional 12 acres of community parks, 6 acres of neighborhood parks, and the standard
for mini-parks is presently exceeded. The County would need to bring on-line 12 acres in
district parks. Perhaps the most glaring deficit in the chart above is that Orange County
has not acquired and developed any parks of sufficient size to be classified as district
parks.
• Under the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1965, federal funds were available to the
states and local governments for development of outdoor recreation. To receive funds,
each state had to do a state-wide comprehensive recreation plan (SCORP) and update the
document at five-year increments. The SCORP provided state standards for local
governments to use. The State of NC has just published its preliminary SCORP and will
no longer provide state standards for park and recreation facilities. Also, Land and Water
Conservation Act funds are no longer available on the federal level. The plan instead
ranks each of the one hundred counties in several recreation and park categories.
Appendix 4 provides data about Orange County's position in the state and other pertinent
SCORP information.
• The National Recreation and Park Association is contemplating moving from standards
based on population number and instead ranking under population size much like the state
has done. The problem with state data is that the preliminary SCORP ranking is based on
1990-91 survey data. Also, without federal funds for outdoor recreation and their
subsequent requirement that the states do the SCORP, there is no assurance that the
SCORP will be done again or in what, if any, form.
• This information demands that each community become self-reliant on establishing their
own standards without assistant or guidance by state and national authorities. The local
jurisdictions cannot collect data on all counties in the state to evaluate their position by
rank as the SCORP has done in the past.
• Recreation and park services speak to the quality of life in a town, county or region.
Orange County is constantly compared to our "sister counties" in the Triangle. Wake
and Durham Counties may be an acceptable comparison to see how Orange County
ranks with their park acreage and facilities. One other adjoining county (Alamance,
etc.) could be reviewed. An annual survey of their facilities would be manageable and
Page 7
i
a long-term goal of matching or exceeding their amenity level could be agreed upon.
After the initial year, updating the comparison would be relatively easy.
• Establishing uniform standards for all of Orange County can be the basis for developing
plans of actions that involve cooperative ventures among all of the governments
responsible for providing this service to its citizens.
Local Land Use Ordinances
• All three jurisdictions (Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County) have historically
recognized the significance of establishing requirements for recreation and parks within
their subdivision ordinances. A jurisdiction has two ways to develop a park system,
through the general tax base and requiring developers to contribute.
• All have the provision to accept a cash payment in lieu of providing lands or facilities
within the subdivision. This provides the flexibility to serve needs of the subject
subdivision and the broader community.
• Each can allow for off-site improvements or donations of land to provide for large,
planned park sites contributed to by more than one subdivision.
• The three ordinances have flexibility in requiring land, developed facilities, or both.
• Chapel Hill and Orange County regulations are written to be land intensive while
Carrboro basically requires that private recreation facilities be included.
• Although the three ordinances use different formulae to define their requirements, the
philosophy and intent of all three ordinances are the same.
• Equalizing or having the same requirements across jurisdictions would require few
changes and could be done to standardize recreation land and facility expectation placed
on new developments by each jurisdiction.
Section Recommendations
Set standards based on ranking with other Triangle Area counties. Determine type of park
and recreation facilities to be surveyed. Develop mechanism for annual review of park and
facilities standards by all jurisdictions.

Although the three jurisdictions use different formulae to define their recreation and park
requirements within their Land Use Ordinances, the philosophy and intent of all are the same.
It is recommended that the three Planning Departments consider developing a most preferred
set of recreation requirements that could be included in all three jurisdictions' Land Use
Ordinances.
III. School/Government Coordination
Introduction
Combining new schools with new parks benefits the entire community. The school/park
concept is a cost-effective approach to providing public facilities for Orange County. A
school campus typically defines and serves as the focal point for neighborhood use of its
indoor and outdoor facilities. The school/park concept can enable capital and operational
cost savings while providing the optimum facilities for both school and after-school use.
Because school campuses generally have facilities in place that are needed for public
parks (i.e., open play fields, parking lots, water and sewer connections, electricity, and
road systems to campuses) the school/park concept is a cost effective approach to
providing public recreational facilities to all residents and saves the tax payers many
thousands of dollars because the purchase of additional park land is not required.
Opportunities exist for joint management, locating, and operation of school/park
facilities.
• Joint Management - The Recreation and Park Work Group reviewed the facility use
agreements of the Orange County School System and the Chapel Hill/Carrboro City
School System. Both systems arc similar in their agreements with the Recreation and
Parks Departments and provide facility use for little or no fee charged. There are nine
school sites available in the County School System and twelve in the Chapel
Hill/Carrboro School System that are existing or under construction. All three
Recreation and Parks Departments rely greatly on the use of school facilities.
Although the outdoor athletic facilities are widely used; auditoriums, arts and music
rooms, media centers, and gymnasiums are under great demand as well. The number
of school sites that are presently being used or have been used in the past include all
ten completed school sites in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro School System and eight of the
nine school sites in the County School System.
• Joint Site Location - Many of the existing school sites throughout Orange County
were not developed for community use. Outdoor recreation areas were not
considered at the time of construction. Surplus land exists at some of the school
campuses around the county.
Page 9
State standards recommend that school districts purchase approximately 20 acres for
elementary schools and 35 acres for middle schools. An elementary school only
needs 8-9 acres for the actual school building and infrastructure. This leaves 11-12
acres for a school/park. Building a park on school property saves the tax payers
money since purchased park land is not required. The school systems typically do not
spend a lot of money on site amenities around school campuses for community
recreational programs. Many of the existing schools were built at the center of the
property site with entrance roads and parking areas accessible only to the main
building. Had these schools been designed with community use in mind, the buildings
could be located to the side or rear of the property, leaving a large portion of the land
for park development. The entrance roads and parking areas could be designed to
access both the school and park facilities. Gymnasiums could be designed to provide
outside access for restroom facilities for potential park patrons. Building schools and
parks together is a win/win situation for everyone.
• Joint Operation - By combining new and existing schools with park facilities, the
surrounding neighborhoods benefit. A school campus typically defines a community.
Citizens identify with the campus as being a part of their neighborhood and a
convenient place for indoor and outdoor recreational activities. Joint facility planning
enables both the schools and the recreation departments to ensure, for example, that
gyms are of adequate size for use by both the schools and the recreation departments.
Other design features can then be included which will create cost-effective operation
of the facilities by both parties.
• The School/Park concept is not unique. Wake County developed a plan in the early
1980s, most recently adopted a School/Park Master Plan in 1993, and presently has
eleven School/Park sites. Wake serves as a model throughout the State of N.C. The
Recreation and Parks Director for Wake County made a presentation to the
Recreation and Park Work Group on September 21, 1995, explaining the
development of the Wake County School/Park Master Plan. He discussed the
process of forming a Coordinated Facility Planning Committee and establishment of a
Maintenance and Management Policy. A sample agreement is included as Appendix 5
and serves as a model that could be considered.
Section Recommendation
It is recommended that all new school sites be planned to include park facilities and that
existing school sites be improved with recreation and park amenities where it is mutually
beneficial to the school system and governmental jurisdiction(s) to do so.

IV. Public/Private Recreation Providers
Introduction
Meeting all the recreational needs of Orange County will require a joint effort between the
various government agencies and the private sector. The total value of a community's leisure
delivery system is the aggregate of recreation services provided by both the public and
private sectors. No one group can be held responsible for meeting all of the leisure needs of
the community. A strong formal system for cooperation should exist between the private and
public sectors.
• When recreation partnerships are developed, they will result in a -greater degree of
effective and efficient recreational service to the public. The theme of"sharing the cost"
is at the heart of all public/private partnerships, but must be tempered with the need to be
affordable to insure that the over-all mission of the public sector is met in providing
service to the entire community.
• The three jurisdictions are presently heavily engaged in public/private recreation services
and these are detailed on Appendix 6. Partnership activities range from individual classes
to major special events, such as the July 4th Fireworks. These relationships include
arrangements with private vendors, contractors, individuals, and businesses in conjunction
with one or more public agencies. A list of Orange County Private/Commercial
Recreation Providers is attached as Appendix 7.
• Although public/private partnerships are evident throughout Orange County, there is a
need for mechanisms to be in place that encourage these relationships to flourish. When
appropriate, private recreation providers should be included in the public recreation and
park planning process. Dialogue should be encouraged between public and private
recreation providers to identify opportunities where mutual goals (programs and/or
facilities) can be achieved to the benefit of both parties.
• Partnership models are available not only in Orange County, but elsewhere in the state
and throughout the nation. These models should be researched as to their applicability to
Orange County and formulas developed to allow for rapid response to new recreational
venues.
Section Recommendations
Standardize all documents used by the three jurisdictions when contracting with private
recreation providers. (Personnel, Facilities,Program Management)
Page 11
That Orange County publish and update annually the listing of private recreation vendors and
facilities on the new information referral network currently being developed in Orange
County. Also, include models of existing, successful public/private partnerships, i.e. Triangle
Sportsplex, Chapel Hill Senior Center, etc.
Establish a bi-annual meeting or forum for private and public recreation providers for
information sharing and establishing new public/private initiatives.
V. REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction
The Recreation and Park Work Group provides the following recommendations to the
Orange County Assembly of Governments and the Orange County and Chapel
Hill/Carrboro School Boards. Inherent in this document are many possibilities to work in
unison for the provision of more effective and efficient recreation and park services.
During discussions of the Work Group, a plethora of other recreation and park issues
came to the forefront, but the Work Group believes that placing all of these issues on the
table would to be too inundating at this time. However, the Recreation and Park Work
Group includes in their report a listing under the following "Future Directions/Trends" so
that these ideas may be recorded.
In realizing the importance of the issues under consideration, the Recreation and Park
Work Group completed this report in a very short, self-imposed time period.
Nevertheless, the recommendations immediately serve to:
-establish principles for coordinated county-wide recreation and park facility
planning
-foster greater cooperation in use of existing facilities
-support private recreation providers and public/private partnerships
Recommendations
• Set standards based on ranking with other Triangle Area counties. Determine
type of park and recreation facilities to be surveyed. Develop mechanism for
annual review of park and facilities standards by all jurisdictions.
• Although the three jurisdictions use different formulae to define their recreation
and park requirements within their Land Use Ordinances, the philosophy and
intent of all are the same. It is recommended that the three Planning Departments
consider developing a most preferred set of recreation requirements that could be
included in all three jurisdictions' Land Use Ordinances.
Page 12
• It is recommended that all new school sites be planned to include park
facilities and that existing school sites be improved with recreation and park
amenities where it is mutually beneficial to the school system and
governmental jurisdiction(s) to do so.
• Standardize all documents used by the three jurisdictions when contracting with
private recreation providers. (Personnel, Facilities, Program Management)
• That Orange County publish and update annually the listing of private recreation
vendors and facilities on the new information referral network currently being
developed in Orange County. Also, include models of existing, successful
public/private partnerships, i.e. Triangle Sportsplex, Chapel Hill Senior Center,
etc.
• Establish a bi-annual meeting or forum for private and public recreation providers
for information sharing and establishing new public/private initiatives.
While these recommendations lay promising groundwork for long-range planning, other
practical possibilities must be explored to achieve success. Time did not permit the
development of the mechanisms (i.e., intergovernmental work groups, etc.) to pursue the
thorough investigation of the following matters. The Work Group believes that it is
imperative that they end their report by delineating these future concerns.
Future Directions/Trends
• Bond referenda for recreation and park projects
• Comprehensive program planning to avoid duplication of services and service
gaps
• Joint ventures in the area of After-School programming
• Status of swimming pools in Orange County
• Mechanisms for funding facilities by all jurisdictions
• Recreation and Parks District Tax
• Funding equity issues (who pays for what, now and in the future?)
• Joint School/Park use of the Greene Tract

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
FOR PROVIDING COORDINATED FACILITY PLANNING
This agreement between the Orange County and/or Chapel Hill/
Carrboro Boards of Education and the governing Boards of
Orange County and/or the Towns of Chapel Hill and/or Carrboro
is intended to establish and implement a coordinated site and
facility planning process for schools and certain government
facilities. The purpose of the coordinated planning process
is to optimize the collocation and use of schools and other
public facilities in a way that builds community, provides
public services where they are most needed, assures the
compatibility of collocated services, and efficiently uses
public resources.
To further these goals, the Orange County and/or Chapel Hill/
Carrboro Boards of Education and the governing Boards of
Orange County and/or the Towfis of Chapel Hill and/or
Carrboro do hereby agree to the following separate and shared
responsibilities for coordinated facility planning to the
extent that it does not delay necessary construction of
either school or government facilities. These statements of
responsibilities are intended to be consistent with all
applicable laws and regulations; where they are not, they are
superseded by those applicable laws and regulations.
Specifically, this agreement is not intended to supersede the
statutory authority of either Board of Education to select
school sites or to build, maintain or repair school
facilities or the other governing Boards to approve the
amounts to be spent for sites and to determine the funds
available for school and county or municipal facilities.
The Orange County and/or Chapel Hill/Carrboro Boards of
Education will :
* Identify appropriate site criteria for public school
facilities; and
* Identify interior space and exterior site requirements
for school facilities; and
* Recommend school facility priorities, timetables for
completion, and related funding needs; and
* Determine the most appropriate means of managing the
construction, renovation, or repair of public school
facilities, within the funding available for these
activities; and
* Assign to the superintendent the responsibility of
providing the necessary staffing and other resources to
participate in a joint facility planning process.
(2 of 3)
The Governing Boards of Orange County and/or the Towns of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro will :
* Identify appropriate site criteria for county and
municipal government facilities and facilities in which
contracted county or municipal services are provided; and
* Identify interior space and exterior site requirements for
county or municipal government facilities and facilities
in which contracted county or municipal services are
provided; and
* Determine priorities, timetables for completion, and
related funding requirements for county or municipal
government facilities; and
* Determine the most appropriate means of managing the
construction, renovation, -or repair of county or municipal
government facilities; and
* Determine the funding available for school and county or
municipal government facilities; and
* Assign to the county and/or Town Managers the
responsibility of providing the necessary staffing and
other resources to participate in a coordinated facility
planning process.
The Orange County and/or Chapel Hill/Carrboro Boards of
Education and the governing Boards of Orange County and/or
the Towns of Chapel Hill and/or Carrboro will jointly:
* Identify opportunities for collocating compatible public
facilities on common sites, including facilities for
schools, county government, municipal governments, state
and federal government, other public authorities, and
facilities for nonprofit organizations providing
complementary public services; and
* Develop master site plans on which public facilities will
be co-located; and
* Determine the most appropriate means of relating various
public services on common sites, considering all program
needs, and including opportunities for sharing spaces; and
* Develop any interlocal agreements or understandings needed
to allow participation of other units of government in the
collocation of public facilities; and
* Determine the most appropriate and effective means of
coordinating the construction of shared facilities located
on common sites; and
(3 of 3)
* Determine the most appropriate and effective means of
coordinating maintenance of shared public facilities
located on common sites; and
* Determine the most appropriate and effective means of
scheduling usage of any shared public facilities on common
sites; and
* Determine the most appropriate and practical means of
providing public ownership of sites and site improvements
where public facilities are collocated.
This Memorandum of Agreement shall become effective upon
approval by each governing board. It shall remain in effect
until either party shall decide to terminate the agreement.

For Assembly of Governments Meeting February 29: 1996
Update on. Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
Mork to date:
In the late 19801s, the governments of Orange County began a
cooperative long term planning effort with Durham County. In
1991/1992 the joint effort was discontinued due differing interests
in various volume reduction technologies.
Work on the comprehensive solid waste management plan began in
August 1994, after several months of planning and selecting a
consultant. The final working paper is now being prepared by the
consultant WESTON. The final report is expected in April, 1996 and
will be presented as it is available. The final report will
consist of a synthesis of previous work, an implementation guidance
document and a formal presentation of an analysis of a, complete
system of solid waste prevention, collection and processing
methods. Following that presentation, WESTON will revise the final
report based on feedback from the public and the Landfill Owners
Group.
The integrated system evaluated for county-wide implementation was
finalized by the Landfill Owners Group in December, 1995 . It should
be emphasized that this system should not be construed in any way
as being the final system or a commitment to a final system. It is
a system we have asked our consultant to analyze. This system
includes:
WASTE PREVENTION COLLECTION PROCESSING

Next Steps:
The system described above may be revised by the Owners Group, its
member governments and the public to include additional elements or
combine elements from other systems previously evaluated by WESTON.
Once the final report is received from WESTON and revised, the
I
Owners Group and member governments could prepare a workplan to
implement all or parts of the integrated solid waste
system selected. Implementation of the workplan would take place in the
context of the pending reorganization of the Landfill Owners Group and
will require all participating governments_ approval. We place a very
high priority on completing and implementing a solid waste plan.

TOWARD A.SUSTAINABLE CON AUNITY
LANDFILL OPERATIONS
The landfill site search process has resulted in identification of four sites that are considered to be technically suitable.
None of the proposed sites is without social/political problems. An alternative to selection of a"new landfill"would be to
expand the present landfill site and commit to waste prevention,materials recycling and recovery,and landfill management
such that the present landfill location will last indefinitely. This scenario would present an excellent opportunity to practice
sustainable community principles.
STRATEGIES/PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING NEXT LANDFILL SITE,OC-17 SCENARIO
1. Commit to early adoption and implementation of an integrated solid waste management plan to achieve at least a 50
percent reduction in solid waste through waste reduction,expanded recycling,and waste processing efforts,thereby
extending the fife of the current landfill
2. Designate a portion of site OC-17,as outlined in the February 1995 Joyce Engineering document,as the area to meet
Orange County's future solid waste management needs.
• Recommended by engineering consultant
• Recommended by Landfill Search Committee
• Accessible to sewer service for leachate disposal
• Accessible to water service to mitigate groundwater contamination,if it occurs
• Eliminates need to relocate waste processing facilities after closure of current cells
• Affords potential for reprocessing material buried in landfill at this site
3. Proceed with acquisition of property within the OC-17 area on a voluntary basis.
4. Negotiate with Duke and other property owners on conditions for future acquisition of land to meet solid waste
management needs. Negotiations may include,but not limited to,the following items:
• Phased acquisition,timed to accommodate research and historic interests
• Life estates
• Swap for other land,such as the Greene/Byrd Farm tract
• Explore landfill mining of current landfill,in cooperation with Duke and UNC,as a means of pre-empting future
environmental problems,provision of cover soil,and re-use of recovered'land for lined disposal cells
5. Commit to reducing the amount of additional land to be acquired,giving consideration to:
• Elimination of C&D landfill when regional recycling options are available(C&D landfill conflicts with Duke-
DOE easement)
• Promote and participate in regional waste management opportunities
• Identification of beneficial uses for UNC flyash
• Waste reduction through prevention,recycling,and processing programs
• Utilization of piggy-back technology to locate new cells next to closed landfill(this would enable avoidance of the
Duke-DOE easement and the Alexander Hogan Plantation areas)
6. Request NW Small Area Planning Group to consider using Employment Campus(EC)zoning designation as a buffer
between the landfill and all residential property. Through the Joint Planning process,consider expanding economic
development activities in the area,with special attention to activities that would support waste reduction,processing,
and expanding recycling markets.
7. Identify and acquire property to provide access to railroad for expanded market opportunities for recyclables and OOC
options.
8. Notwithstanding potential use of Greene/Byrd Farm tract in Duke negotiations,consider its use as part of a
community compensation package.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Orange County Assembly of Governments
FROM: Barry Jacobs
DATE: February 29, 1996
SUBJECT: Update on Stone Quarry Expansion
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a brief update to the Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and
Orange County governing boards on OWASA's efforts to gain the necessary approvals for
expansion of the American Stone Quarry on Highway 54 west of Carrboro.
Background
OWASA first presented plans for expanding its Quarry Reservoir at a meeting with local elected
officials in late 1988. If the American Stone Company were allowed to expand its active quarry
operation onto OWASA-owned property east of Bethel-Hickory Grove Church Road, the
company would deed the empty pit to OWASA at virtually no cost for use as a raw water
reservoir with up to 3 billion gallons of additional storage capacity (equal to the volume of the
Cane Creek Reservoir)by the year 2030. OWASA entered into the necessary contracts in 1990.
These were contingent on the issuance of necessary governmental permits, including
amendments to the Joint Land Use Planning Area Plan,which required approval by the elected
boards of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County,plus other actions subject to Orange
County approval.
The first of three joint hearings and other public meetings was held in October 1991. Questions
about the need for the project and concerns by neighbors were raised, and subsequently
addressed during later hearings and meetings. The proposed Joint Planning amendments were
ultimately presented for approval to Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County in 1994.
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen determined in August 1994 that they would take no further
action until American Stone/OWASA and citizens opposed to the quarry expansion had
undertaken a mediated dispute resolution process. Both American Stone and OWASA agreed to
participate in mediated discussions, took steps to proceed, and agreed to pay the necessary costs.
Mr. Andy Sachs, Program Director of the Carrboro Dispute Settlement Center, agreed to act as
mediator and proposed a working outline for the process. During 1995 he met with
representatives of American Stone and OWASA, as well as parties opposing the application, but
after more than a year and a half, opponents to the project have not agreed to come to the table.

Need for the Project
OWASA's current raw water supplies at University Lake, Cane Creek, and existing Quarry
Reservoir are expected to meet average day demands through the year 2015 or 2020. The
proposed quarry expansion would offer additional capacity to store up to 3 billion gallons of
surplus Cane Creek water that would otherwise spill over the dam during wet weather, and
provide an important backup during times of extreme drought or emergency conditions
elsewhere in the supply system. Statistical calculations indicate that this additional capacity
would also increase the combined safe yield of OWASA's existing raw water sources by 20 to 25
percent,possibly deferring long term dependence on Jordan Lake.
If necessary approvals are not obtained to expand the quarry, OWASA's agreement with
American Stone will become void, leaving the Authority with no rights to the quarry pit except
through direct purchase or eminent domain, which would cost the community many millions of
dollars more than the presently pending agreement.
Next Steps?
OWASA stands ready to present its water resource information, as well as a third-party technical
analysis of the effects of American Stone's quarrying operations on nearby residents, to any of
the local boards during their review of this proposal.
It is our understanding that no further movement can occur until the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen, Chapel Hill Town Council, and Orange County Board of Commissioners act on the
pending amendments to the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan.
