Draft Master Plan David Stancil, 245-2590
PURPOSE: To receive and consider the proposed master plan for the Fairview Public
Campus, including Fairview Park.
BACKGROUND: In January, a committee appointed by the County and Town Board of
Commissioners completed its work to develop a master plan for the Fairview Public Campus.
This title was used to reflect the fact that the land involved in the master plan included both the
proposed Fairview Park site, which includes a few existing facilities, but also the County Public
Works site and a proposed land swap to accommodate the Town of Hillsborough Public Works
operation as well. The primary focus for the committee, in terms of detail and attention, was the
proposed second phase of Fairview Park, but general conceptual uses for the remainder of the
public lands were also addressed.
Together, the Fairview Public Campus site comprises 92 acres. From west to east, this
includes a 41-acre parcel owned by the County that contains an old playground and baseball
field (which underwent improvements in the late 1990's), a 25-acre property owned by the
Town, and the 26-acre County Public Works site. A Memorandum of Agreement between the
County and Town was adopted in 2004 (attached), to enable master planning of the entire site
regardless of ownership.
The attached master plan report outlines the process that was used by the committee to
develop a master plan between October 2005 and January 2006. The committee followed the
standard park design process of learning about the site through a site visits and an
Opportunities and Constraints report, but augmented this with information specific to Fairview
and the site conditions. The committee then brainstormed the types of facilities needed for the
community, prioritized these desired facilities, and engaged in a design charette to physically
plan the facilities on the site base map. The results of the design charette were then used to
tweak and revise the draft master plan until it was agreed to on January 19th. The master plan
2 "
was briefly addressed at the joint meeting of the Town and County Boards of Commissioners on
February 23rd.
In general, the master plan identified by the committee focuses facilities into three "pods" of
activities. This "pod" approach was necessitated by the existence of large portions of the site
that were unsuitable for park use due to former landfilling activities (the committee did make
recommendations on what to do with these areas in the interim, as noted below).
For the "eastern pod" or the Public Works portion of the site, footprints for expected future
buildings consistent with County and Town plans were incorporated. The most usable portion
of the site, for a variety of reasons, was the southernmost area or"southern pod". This area
also contains a stand of mature hardwoods, the most significant on the site, and the master
plan strives to protect a sizable portion of these hardwoods while accommodating facilities
(some of which would be "tucked" into the woods). The committee recommendations for the
master plan included the following:
Most of the park facilities would be in the "southern pod" of the site:
• Two lighted basketball courts,
• A full-size youth baseball/softball field,
• A playground
• Picnic shelter with concessions bay and possibly restrooms
• Tennis courts, and
• Parking areas (larger area at terminus of entry road, smaller community lot along
Torain Street)
For safety and pedestrian access, walking trails of approximately %2 mile would be designed to
connect the pods of activity, in particular the southern pod of park activity above with the
"western pod" which includes:
❑ The existing community policing station,
• Parking area,
• A new playground (to replace the old structure),
• A trail connection to the southern pod, and
• A possible future Town community center (footprint only)
The "eastern pod" includes the
❑ Existing Public Works,
❑ the proposed land swap for the Town Public Works and
❑ Two outlines of possible future County buildings.
The main vehicular entry to the park would be via an extension of the Public Works Drive
through this part of the campus. This provides access to the signalized intersection at NC 86
and NC 57. In addition, pedestrian access from the Fairview community was a point of great
emphasis, and there are several points where the park can be accessed by pedestrians from
Rainey Avenue, Torain Street and across from Homemont Avenue.
In addition to these recommended facilities (some of which would be deferred to a future phase,
due to funding constraints), the committee made the following additional findings:
❑ The former landfill areas on the northern part of the site should be maintained in grass
and available for,informal use such as bird-watching, dog-walking and an open meadow.
• 3
The cost of mitigating the landfill activities in this area to make them useful for facilities
would have likely taken the entirety of the park budget or more, and so this is
recommended until such time as other opportunities arise. However, there may be
environmental education opportunities in conjunction with the former landfill.
• There was interest in a possible community room for future phases of the park as funds
may permit. It was noted that grant sources may exist to help construct some of these
facilities or help mitigate the landfill areas.
• The committee requested that a copy of the master plan be posted at the Community
Policing Station once adopted by the Boards, to provide community information on
planned facilities.
The committee recognized from the outset that facilities proposed would exceed available funds
($850,000 from the 2001 Parks and Open Space bond), but as with other projects the group
was encouraged to think creatively about the desired eventual park design. The committee did
list their top priorities for facilities as:
1. Basketball courts
2. Youth baseball/softball field
3. Playgrounds
4. Picnic shelter
The Town of Hillsborough will be considering the master plan on May 8th. It is anticipated that
the Town may request a clarification about possible future expansion of the proposed Town
Public Works operation into the hardwood forest area as part of the "southern pod".
Once the master plan has been agreed to, the Town and County will need to formalize the
planned land swap and address any operational issues (a memorandum of agreement
regarding operation and maintenance has been proposed). Once this is completed, the pre-
construction phase of the park may begin, followed by solicitation of construction bids (and
decisions on facility construction priorities based on cost) and construction of the park. Staffs
current informal timetable for park construction estimates that the land swap, MOA for
operations and construction documents and bid solicitation could all occur before the summer
of 2007, with construction beginning in summer/fall 2007 (subject to change based on the time
for completion of these steps).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 2001 Parks and Open Space bond allocated $850,000 for Fairview
Park, Phase II. The proposed park as designed in the master plan is estimated to be in excess
of$1.4 million, requiring prioritization of facilities to be built in Phase 2 when construction bids
are received. The master plan was developed with this prioritization anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the master plan
and discuss the proposal, providing direction to staff on needed changes and the other actions
needed for this project (land swap, operations and maintenance agreement). If ready, the
Board may wish to adopt the master plan, with changes as identified.

Background
Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough own two adjacent tracts (67 acres
total), which have long been identified as lands for a Fairview community park in
northern Hillsborough. In addition, Orange County owns an adjacent 26 acres
that includes the County's Public Works facility. The parr site is identified in both
the County and Town comprehensive plans.
In 2004, the County and Town agreed to work together to create a master plan
for the entire 93-acre site by adopting a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
along these lines, reflecting both the existing and planned uses on the Public
Works site and potential future uses for a park. The MOA may be found as
Appendix 1 to this report.
Additional information regarding the site characteristics and history of activity at
the Fairview lands may be found in the Challenges and Opportunities report
created as part of the Master Plan effort (Appendix 2).
In October 2005, an appointed Fairview Public Campus Master Plan Committee
began work to develop a proposed Master Plan. Over the next four months the
Committee met on four occasions to create this report and plan.
Site Analysis / Opportunities & Constraints Report
At the initial meeting of the Committee, a report on the aspects of the site in
question was presented by staff. This Opportunities and Constraints report
evaluated the natural and cultural features present, the history of landholdings
and land use pattern, as well as an overview of zoning and other planning issues
(please see Appendix 2).
The park site (which includes a few existing facilities, such as a playground) lis
located in the Fairview community on the north side of Hillsborough. Adjacent
land uses include single-family residential lots to the south, west and north. The
Orange County Public Works facility is located on the eastern part of the total
site, and it is adjacent on the east to lots (some of which are undeveloped)
fronting on NC 86.
The property is located just outside of the Hillsborough town limits, but within the
Town's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) for planning and permit approval. The
Town's Vision 2010 land use plan identifies the area as "Mixed Use Residential,"
with a smaller area Institutional Activity Area. The zoning for the property is
Office/Institutional (OI), which permits parks, government facilities and a variety
of other uses.
The Public Works tract does have water and sewer service, although it is
primarily sized to serve the existing uses. The site is not in a water supply
1
watershed but is within the Neuse River Basin, so special Neuse River Basin
rules apply which require vegetated stream buffers. Stream segments were
identified prior to the design that would require protection.
A cultural and archaeological survey was conducted in March 2005. The survey
identified one previously unrecorded site that was not deemed significant. One
area on the site was recommended to have further survey work if active land-
disturbing activities occur. A topographic survey was also conducted which
identified trees of 18-inch caliper and greater, and this was used in the design.
Soils through the site are largely Georgeville, Herndon and Enon type, although
much of the westernmost County parcel was covered with topsoil in the former
landfill areas.
The westernmost tract, owned by the County, features large former landfilled
areas to the north and northwest part of the property. These areas have been
covered with dirt and now are grassy with low shrubby vegetation. Groundwater
monitoring wells are located north and south of the stream, which bisects the
site. Some of the landfill materials are exposed but hidden from view under
dense trees and shrubs. A baseball field in this area was built in 1999, although it
is no longer in active use. The northern edge of the property has a number of
piles of domestic trash. The southern part of the site includes young hardwood
forest (40-50 years old) in an area that appears to retain water during wet
seasons.
The middle tract, owned by the Town, has a gravel road to the north that is
accessed from the County Public Works property. A north-south road divides the
Town parcel from the County tract described above. The northern one-third of
this Town tract is a large open area where the Town stockpiles storm debris and
yard waste. The middle one-third of the site has mature hardwoods and slopes
dropping 25 feet down to an unnamed stream. Pine woods are located close to
the Public Works facility. The southern one-third of the property has the highest
elevation with a mature oak-hickory hardwood forest, with some trees 60-80
years old. This area provides wildlife habitat and features red and white oaks,
hickories, tulip poplar and beech trees.
The easternmost property, the Public Works site, is partially developed and
houses the County Public Works administrative building, Motor Pool garage and
areas of storage and parking. An entry road at the signalized intersection of NC
86 and NC 57 runs east to west, before turning north into the developed part of
the site. Future plans are to locate other County facilities on the undeveloped
portion of this site, and the location of the Town of Hillsborough Public Works
been proposed for land owned by the County south of the entry road.

Committee Meetings and the Design Process
In its four meetings, the Master Plan Committee has strived to be efficient and
yet diligent in approaching the development of recommendations in a stepwise
fashion.
Prior to the committee's formation, a preliminary concept plan outlining the
general locations of different uses was created to help guide the process. This, in
conjunction with the Memorandum of Agreement, was used to create the design
parameters.
The following table summarizes the activities of the committee meetings.

Recommendations of the Committee
Note: In reviewing the master plan and the following recommendations, it may be useful
to think of the master plan for the site as having three sections, or"pods."The "southern
pod"includes the majority of proposed park facilities and would be accessed from Torain
Street or the connector trail (see below) - or for persons outside of the neighborhood,
from the NC 571 NC 86 intersection. The "western pod"is located adjacent to the existing
community policing station and is adjacent to Rainey Avenue. The "eastern pod"
contains the County Public Works site and future Town Public Works site, along with
other planned future County facilities. The reason for the "pod" design approach is
explained in the rationale section on page 6.
After considering all of the above information and discussing the
possibilities, the Committee recommends the following actions as
facility improvements for Phase 2 of the park:
1. That the following facilities be constructed as Phase 2 of the
Fairview Park as the top priorities (as shown on the attached
Master Plan map on page 4). These facilities are listed in
priority order, with the understanding that some facilities may
need to be deferred based on available funds:
• Two hard-surface lighted basketball courts, located the
"southern pod. "
• A full-size youth baseball/softball field, located in the
southern part of the site.
• Two new playgrounds, one near the new ballfield in the
"southern pod, " and a replacement playground in the
"western pod " near the existing structure and police
station.
• A picnic shelter with concessions bay (and possible
restrooms), located near the new ballfield in the
"southern pod"
• Walking trails of approximately 1/2 milein total, with a
main trail connection between the ballfield ("southern
pod") and the police station / playground ("we stern
pod"). There would also be a trail around the new
ballfield, with spur to the southern parking lot and Torain
5
iC
Street, and a connection to Rainey Avenue at Homemont
Avenue.
• Three tennis courts, located adjacent to the new ballfield.
• A volleyball court, adjacent to the existing ballfield
While not a park facility per se, a main parking lot and access
road is also proposed from the east and the NC 86 / NC 57
intersection. A smaller parking lot would be located on Torain
Street, and the existing parking at the "western pod" police
station/playground would also be retained.
2. It is proposed that the former landfill areas on the northern part
of the site be maintained in grass and allowed to be used
informally for non-structured activities (dog-walking, open
meadow, bird-watching).
3. Opportunities for integrating environmental education and
habitats in conjunction with the former landfill should be
considered, including signage.
4. Interest exists in both a community room and use of the former
landfilled areas for subsequent phases of the park as
opportunities arise and Town/County funds permit.
5. The Town and County may wish to pursue additional funding
through grants (Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, US tennis
Association, for example) and future bonds, to enable the
construction of more facilities at the park.
6. Once the master plan is finalized and a construction schedule is
identified, a copy of both should be placed at the Fairview
Community Policing Substation for community information. A
sign noting "Future Site of Fairview Park" would also be
helpful.
7. The facilities planned for the "eastern pod" (the Public Works
and County Facility portions of the site) have been sketched in
6
on the master plan, as per the Committee's charge. It is our
understanding the exact location of these future activities will
be addressed at a subsequent time.
Master Plan Rationale
As the master plan design unfolded, the Committee became aware that the
majority of the proposed activity would need to be located in two "pods" of the
park. This was made apparent by the uncertainty surrounding use of the former
landfilled areas and the existing plans for the County and municipal future uses
on the eastern part (eastern pod) of the site. Therefore, the facilities were
designed to avoid these areas, work around the existing stream buffer, and try to
protect as much of the mature hardwood forest in the southern part of the site as
possible.
However, the remaining best usable land was largely located in the "southern
pod" near the hardwoods area. The master plan sites most of the facilities of the
park in this area, while preserving a block of the hardwoods. The design attempts
to keep as much of this area intact as possible, and sites only a picnic shelter
and playground (which can be nestled among the trees). The larger facilities are
located to the north and west of the best part of the hardwoods. Specimen trees
of large caliper or age were also protected. The retention of this forested area will
also serve as a buffer for residents along Torain Street. The Town of
Hillsborough plans to construct a 10,000 to 12,000 square foot Public
Works/Motor Pool facility on its designated site (generally the southwest corner
of the County Public Works property, which would be transferred to the Town).
Also to be included on the site is 7,000 to 8,000 square feet of covered storage
facilities. The Town plans to locate its facilities on the western portion of the site
with the intent to leave enough acreage for potential future expansion.
The second pod of activity is smaller and would be located near the existing
Hillsborough Community Policing Station. The group recognized that there is an
arbor and history of using this area, termed the "western pod", as a gathering
spot, and while the available or usable land is limited, some facilities would be
retained here. These facilities are also easily accessed from Rainey Avenue.
To facilitate greater accessibility between the two pods of park activity, a
connector trail is proposed that offers a direct way of moving from the "western
pod" (police station/picnic/playground area) to the "southern pod" (ballfield and
other facilities). This 1000-foot trail also allows persons entering the park from
either Torain Street or Rainey Avenue to access the other portion of the park. In
addition to this trail, trails around the ballfiield and a connector trail to the
intersection of Rainey and Homemont Avenue are also reflected. Thus,
pedestrians could enter the park from Rainey Avenue, Torain Street or
Homemont Avenue, as well as from other intersections with Rainey Avenue.
7
�a
Access for non-pedestrians would come via three possibilities. The primary
entrance for persons coming to the park from outside of Fairview would be via an
extension of the existing Public Works Drive. This road would be continued west
and then curve northwest into the main parking area of the park (adjacent to the
ballfield and large "southern pod"). This will discourage park traffic from outside
of the neighborhood from putting more vehicles on community streets to reach
the park. For persons driving from within Fairview, there are two parking
opportunities — the existing lot off Rainey Avenue at the "western pod," and a
new small lot along Torain Street near the ballfield and "southern pod."
The committee remains interested in the future possibilities for the northern
(former landfilled) portion of the site, but understands that addressing the actions
needed to make this area usable might siphon away some or all of the funds to
build the park. The focus of the master plan is thus to create a design that
provides for good pedestrian and vehicular access to the park, using the best
areas for facilities and leaving the uncertain open areas for future consideration.
It is proposed that the former landfill areas (shown as open lands on the master
plan) be planted in grass for now, to provide an open meadow area, with
birdboxes and areas for unstructured activities (such as dog-walking, bird-
viewing and other non-facility use).
In designing the park, the group developed a list of possible facilities and then
selected preferred facilities based on community needs and interests, as well as
cost estimates for the facilities. The cost estimates used in this effort, and the
priority listing, are shown as Appendix 3. The budget for the park is $850,000,
and the Committee attempted to design a park in this range.
CONCLUSION
Citizens in Fairview have looked forward to the creation of the community park at
this site for many years. The Committee has attempted to design a park within
the parameters of the group's charge.
There were a number of limitations that affected the flexibility for park design,
largely due to the former landfilled areas and the challenges of retaining the
needed lands for future County/Town use and protecting the mature hardwood
areas and a buffer along the southern boundary. Given these constraints, and
the stream buffer, the areas that remained for potential park use were limited and
led to the "pod" design approach - to attempt to make the most out of the areas
of the site that were usable. The pod design also helps promote pedestrian
access to different portions of the site, and directs traffic to the park away from
the residential streets in Fairview.

The Committee thanks the Orange County and Town of Hillsborough Boards of
Commissioners for the opportunity to develop this master plan design, and
eagerly looks forward to seeing Fairview Park come to fruition. In this spirit, the
Fairview Master Plan Committee commends this report to the Town and County
Boards of Commissioners.

1. PROCESS FOR PLANNING & DESIGN OF PARK, COUNTY PARKS
OPERATIONS BASE AND TOWN AND COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES
The process for planning and designing the Fairview park site, County Parks Operations Base
and Town and County Public Works facilities will encompass the land currently owned by
both the Town and County in the immediate vicinity of the Fairview park site (as shown in
the map in Attachment 1). Together these parcels represent approximately 92 acres and are
hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Site." The Planning for the Fairview Park and
County Parks Operations Base will focus on the park, but will also consider and address, to
the extent possible, the interests of both the Town and County to locate additional, facilities
on the property, such as the County Parks Operations Base and Town and County Public
Works facilities.
The County and Town will appoint, as soon as practical, a Master Plan Committee to develop
recommendations for the design and use of the Site. The Committee shall be appointed by
approval of both County and Town Boards of Commissioners, and shall consist of the
following charge and membership:
2
ADOPTE
0
A. CHARGE to the Master Plan Committee:
Develop a Master Plan for the Site, within the framework of any operating guidelines or
other instructions as offered by the elected Boards,to include the following:
1. A map of the Site with the design for the Fairview Park, including proposed
buildings, playing fields, roads, parking, trails, other facilities, amenities,
infrastructure locations, vegetative cover, hydrology and other components that
are commonly included in a park or public facility concept plan. The map of the
Site shall include existing and planned buildings of the County Parks Operations
Base and the Town and County Public Works facilities. Planning of the County
Parks Operations Base and the Town and County Public Works facilities is
limited to the location of buildings,roads,parking and other infrastructure.
2. A written report outlining the proposed uses, the design rationale, description of
work group process, natural and cultural features, means of soliciting community
input, the potential future phases, and construction cost estimates. If needed, the
report should also include a phasing plan, showing how the Fairview Park and
other public facilities could be developed over time in a cost-efficient fashion.
The report should include a recommendation concerning which facilities should
be constructed, utilizing the funds remaining from the $850,000 allocated for the
project after the planning, design, and survey work (estimated to cost $200,000)
have been completed.
3. The report should address and recognize the limitations imposed by safety
considerations caused by the Fairview park site's previous use for waste-disposal,
as addressed in part by a geo-technical report prepared in 1999 ("Report of
Geotechnical Evaluation, Closed Hillsborough Landfill Site, July 19, 2000").
Further recommendations may be needed to address phased remediation of
portions of the Fairview park site.
4. The Master Plan should address co-location of existing and future public facilities
and provide for a synergy and compatibility of uses between park functions and
other public functions wherever possible. The rights of neighbors should be
respected by buffering incompatible uses.
5. The Committee should review the "old" 1988 Fairview Park Concept Plan as part
of the Master Plan and determine its validity, if any.
2. EXPECTATIONS OF MASTER PLAN FINAL PRODUCT / MEMBERSHIP OF
MASTER PLAN COMMITTEE

I. Background
Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough own two adjacent tracts (67 acres total),
which have long been identified as a Fairview community park. The site is located just
outside the Hillsborough town limits and one-third mile from the intersection of NC 86
and US 70 Bypass. Orange County owns an adjacent 26 acres (3 adjoining tracts) that
includes the County's Public Works facility. Maps are provided as Figures 1 and 2.
The Town once owned all 67 acres and used a portion of the site as the town landfill. A
review of old aerial photos (1938— 1993) indicates the earliest use of the landfill was
sometime between 1938 and 1955 (Attachment 1). The 1955 photo shows what appears
to be a small dumpsite accessed from the old McAdams Road (or "Yanceyville Road"),
which once paralleled today's NC 86 north of Hillsborough. [McAdams Road was
abandoned sometime between 1955 and 1966.] By 1966 the dumpsite was larger and
was accessed from a new entrance road (off Torain Street), which today is "Fairview
Park Road" and runs along the line of the Town and County tracts. The landfill was
closed in the early 1980s in conjunction with a Northern Fairview community
revitalization project.
In 1983, the County purchased 42 acres containing most of the former dumpsite for a
reported $70,000, and initiated plans for a new County park. A master site plan for an
"Orange County Community Park" was completed by L.E. Wooten & Company in 1986.
That plan showed a proposed main entrance to the park from Torain Street, an 84-car
parking area, two baseball fields (one lighted), one soccer field, a fitness trail, a picnic
area with shelter and grills, and a playground with"tot lot" and parking for 8 cars
(Attachment 2). The 1983 park master plan was for the County tract only.
The County built a playground and large parking area for the park in 1989-90. Over
the next 12 years, however, several storm events helped to delay further development
of the park: a tornado (11/92), Hurricane Fran (9/96), severe wind storm (5/00), and the
more recent ice storms. Tree limbs and other wood debris were hauled to the County.
property and deposited in the parking area for temporary storage and handling. Some
of the material was chipped and removed or buried on site. Following Hurricane Fran
(1996), the Town of Hillsborough also began hauling storm debris and yard waste for
temporary storage at the northern end of the Town's adjacent property.
In 1999-2000 a Fairview resident (James Stewart) constructed a baseball field on the
County tract. The ball field, known as the "Field of Dreams," was built over a portion of
the former landfill northeast of the playground. Local teams played there for two or
three years until concerns were raised over the potential adverse affects to the health
and safety of the users of the field. The County hired Trigon Engineering to conduct an
environmental/geo-technical analysis of the property. The study found that surface
soils in the Fairview Park area have naturally occurring levels of arsenic (i.e., not from
the landfill) that exceed state and federal standards for ingestion, but not for exposure.
The County concluded that the ball field was safe from an environmental exposure
standpoint and further developed the ball field, while assuming field maintenance
responsibilities.

N. Cultural and Archaeological Survey
Environmental Services, Inc. completed a cultural and archaeological survey of the
property in March 2005. The goal was to identify and assess the significance of any
cultural resources located in the areas currently being considered either for park
expansion or for the Town's proposed new public works facility: Areas 1-3 on Figure 5.
The survey identified one previously unrecorded archaeological site (prehistoric), but it
was not considered to contain significant information about the prehistory or history of
the region, nor is it eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
The consultant recommended that development of Areas 1 and 2 be allowed to proceed
without concern for impacts to significant cultural resources. They noted, however,
that the Town owned portions of Area 3 which were investigated at a reconnaissance_
level have the potential to contain intact cultural resources and recommended an
intensive surface and subsurface survey prior to around-disturbing activities.
According to the preliminary concept plan approved jointly by the Town and County,
Area 3 is currently proposed for low-impact recreation and open space, which should
not involve any significant ground-disturbing activities. If that changes, and more
active, land-disturbing uses are considered for this area, then the Town (and County)
should consider this recommendation to conduct further surveys.
A topographic survey with identification of trees 18-inch caliper and greater was also
conducted, and the results of this survey have been incorporated into the findings below.
V. Property Description
The following is a more detailed description of the Fairview Park property. The 67-acre
site is a combination of woodland and open/developed area, which includes existing
park facilities, a former landfill, and wood debris storage areas. The property is
described in two tracts: the County-owned portion (County Tract) and the Town-owned
portion (Town Tract). Topography and soils are identified on Figures 6 and 7.
A. County Tract (42 acres)
The County portion of the park property contains the existing playground and picnic
facilities, baseball field, Town of Hillsborough police substation, and the vast majority
of Hillsborough's former sanitary landfill, which was closed in the early 1980s.

Fairview Park Opportunities and Constraints
The southern portion of the tract includes a forested area (-8 acres) with 40- to 50-year-
old hardwood trees. The understory is fairly open and absent of invasive exotic plant
species. The USGS quad map identifies a small wetland within this wooded area.
There may once have been a wetland (or pond), but today there is no open water or
wetland vegetation. A small stream flows north from this area (parallel with Rainey
Ave.) toward the playground. This low-lying area may be suitable for walking trails,
but probably not suitable for active recreation fields.
Finally, a buried telephone cable runs along an easement located just inside and
parallel to the southern property boundary.

road dividing County/Town tracts at upper right.
Topoarabhv and Soils
The County Tract is comprised of mostly Georgeuille and Herndon B/C soils much of
which was covered over by fill material when this site was a landfill. When the landfill
was closed (1982-83) it was covered with clay fill dirt of variable depths. The former
landfill includes some open pockets (subsurface) where the land was not fully
compacted. Those pockets cause the land to be unstable and hold water. A small
stream bisects the former landfill area and carries runoff eastward and through the
adjacent Town tract.
The landfill did not extend to the northwestern, wooded portion of the tract where
Herndon B/C soils drain to two small streams. These soils have medium to high
potential for recreation uses. The southern portion of the tract is comprised of Lignum
and Enon soils, which have fairly good potential for recreational use. Some of that
area, however, appears to be bottomland and may be wet during part of the year. A
small stream runs along the western boundary and may spill into this adjacent low
area. That stream flows from the southwest part of the tract, past the playground area,
then joins another stream and turns east and across the property.

The southern 1/3 of the property has the most mature and beautifully wooded section of
the entire park property. The 60- to 80-year-old oak-hickory forest has an open
understory devoid of invasive exotic plants, and highly suitable for nature trails and
other low-impact activities. Major canopy trees include red and white oaks, hickories,
tulip poplar and American beech. This forest and other wooded sections of the Town
property provide numerous benefits, including habitat for wildlife and native plants,
and protection of water quality by filtering out sediment and other pollutants that may
run off the property (and from the Public Works facility) before entering the adjacent
stream—a Stroud's Creek headwater stream and Eno River tributary.
Toyographv and Soils
The Town Tract consists of mostly Georgeville B/C and Enon B soils below mature
woodlands. These well-drained soils have medium to high potential for recreational
uses, with slope in the middle of the tract being the primary limitation.
The fairly level northern 1/3 of the property is primarily Georgeville B soil (2-6% slope)
that drains to the south into the aforementioned creek (with Tatum D soils) and north
into another creek located just outside the northern property boundary. A small
portion of the former landfill extends into the northwest corner of the tract. Some of
the landfill material is still evident above the ground surface, although hidden under
the tree cover. The sloped middle 1/3 of the tract has Georgeville C soils (6-10% slope),
which drain north to an unnamed creek that flows through the tract and eventually to
the Eno River. The southern 1/3 of the tract features a fairly level plateau with Enon B
soils (2-6% slope), which are suitable for some recreational uses but not for intensive
development. This wooded area is "high and dry" with no water features.

Fairview Park Opportunities and Constraints
VI. Opportunities and Constraints
The following are development opportunities and constraints identified thus far:
Existing and potential assets
A. Access—The park is highly accessible to residents in the Fairview community who
can easily walk, bike or drive to the park. The park's location near the major
intersection of US 70 and NC 86 also makes it accessible to other Hillsborough and
County residents by automobile or public transportation. The existing Public
Works Drive leads to a signaled intersection with NC 86 and NC 57.
B. Existing facilities—There is an existing children's playground and picnic area in a
shady grove of trees with parking (although this area may need improvements).
C. Mature hardwood forest—The forested areas are suitable for nature trails,
environmental education, and other low-impact uses. Perimeter forest areas will
help to buffer the adjacent private properties from future park activities.
Existing and potential constraints
A. Landfill—the former landfill areas pose an assortment of site limitations,
' S including the unstable ground surfaces, areas of exposed trash and debris: and the
public perception of potential or actual health impacts from methane gas and
elevated arsenic levels. The cost of remediation for those areas is uncertain but
could be very substantial (some estimates have ranged from $2 to $12 million).
B. Streams—small streams flow through the park property; a 65-foot-wide
��`cy►�a�� undisturbed buffer is required along both sides of the streams.
5
�� 5C. Access— the proposed Torain Street main entrance is not easily accessible to
0\ people outside of the Fairview community; it may be prudent to create a new park
entrance from NC 86 and through the County Public Works property.
�1 06 D. Noise—there is potential for noise and future expanded activity at the adjacent
,�Orr� County public works facility and proposed co-located Town public works facility.
V4
E. Limited Suitable Acreage —Based on the current and former uses, the amount of
land available for park and other public purposes may be limited.
VII. Preliminary Concept Plan
Representatives from the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Town of
Hillsborough Commissioners met in 2003 and 2004 to initiate a process for Fairview
Park expansion. Over time, a memorandum of agreement was created outlining the
nature of the proposed project on both County and Town lands and the process for park
5 planning. Both boards signed the agreement in October and November 2004.
As a part of this a Preliminary Concept Plan for Fairview Park was also developed and
1 ' adopted. The Preliminary Concept Plan (Figure 8) is the guiding conceptual map or
ems' "blueprint" for the future park design.
