(919) 245 -2590, Fax: (919) 644 -3351 August 2, 2002 On June 27th, you were appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve on the Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational Campus (CHATPEC, for short) Master Plan Work Group. This work group has been charged to develop a master plan for the 193 - acre CHATPEC site bordering on Old 86 and Eubanks Road, near the point where those two roads intersect (a map is attached). The Board has included in the charge to the Work Group a set of guiding principles and other expectations about the process and eventual final product. The charge to the Work Group is also attached. We anticipate the initial meeting of the Work Group to be held in mid to late September. Staff will be in touch in the next few weeks to identify an initial meeting date and time. County Commissioners Alice Gordon and Margaret Brown will serve as co- chairs of the Work Group. Principal County staff will be Open Space Design Specialist Kimberly Siran and myself, with Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools staff also participating. From time to time, other County staff expertise will be needed and called upon. Staff representatives from the Town of Carrboro and Town of Chapel Hill will be invited to participate ex- officio. Thank you for agreeing to serve on this very important committee, and we look forward to working with you on the design of this innovative new set of facilities. Sincerely, David Stancil Environment and Resource Conservation Director ORANGE COUNTY 2002 NORTH CAROLINA C.ELERRATIN<; 250 YEARS Master Plan Process Adopted by Board of Commissioners, May 14, 2002 In order to begin the process of planning for the new park and educational campus on the County's 193 -acre site near Old 86 and Eubanks Road, the following is offered as a draft proposal for the Board of Commissioners' consideration. This draft is based on previous. drafts, comments provided by the Board at October 22, 2001 and November 13, 2001 worksessions, and subsequent meetings and /or discussions. It also includes additional thoughts from at least two Commissioners in the last few days. New additional language is shown in bold italic. This draft process for the Master Plan Work Group is designed to comprehensively integrate the planning of the educational campus and park site to ensure maximum efficiency and flexibility of use. NOTE: Recent correspondence from the CHCCS Superintendent to the School Board — augmented by discussion at the March 25 BOCC /School Boards meeting - have noted the plans for a second school at this site (a middle school), as well as potential location for a high school as part of a three - school campus.

DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CHAPEL HILL TOWNSHIP PARK AND EDUCATIONAL CAMPUS, WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PRE-CONCEPT PLAN, GUIDING PRINCIPLES (PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT 1) AND OTHER DIRECTION PROVIDED FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON OCTOBER 22, 2001 , NOVEMBER 13, 2001 , FEBRUARY 18, 2002 AND AT SUBSEQUENT MEETINGS. 2. THE MASTER PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: • A concept plan for both the park and educational campus*. The concept plans should include all proposed buildings, playing fields, roads, parking, other facilities, amenities, infrastructure locations, vegetative cover, hydrology and other components that are commonly included in park or school facility concept plans. To accomplish this task, the Work Group may divide into two subcommittees — a Park Subcommittee and an Educational Campus Subcommittee. Following basic initial planning for the entire site, the two subcommittees could convene to develop plans for individual components of the property. It is recognized that the Educational Campus Subcommittee will be limited to initial site planning considerations, as it awaits the completion of ether school-related committees that have implications for design of the campus. The subcommittees would need to communicate regularly and openly to ensure that an integrated design for the whole site is maintained. The Work Group as a whole would then reconvene to approve the overall Master Plan to be submitted to the Board of Commissioners for approval. • 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. The report should also include a phasing plan for both concept plan components, showing how the park and school facilities could be developed over time in a cost-efficient fashion. 3. THE MASTER PLAN WILL ADDRESS CO-LOCATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL CAMPUS AND PARK, AND SERVE TO PROVIDE FOR A "SEAMLESS TRANSITION" BETWEEN SCHOOL FACILITIES AND PARK FUNCTIONS WHEREVER POSSIBLE 4. THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WILL, VIA A SEPARATE PROCESS, ADDRESS THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARK March 2003 Final Steps: Once completed, the Master Plan will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. Board either approve the Plan, remand it back for further work, or decide not to pursue Plan. * - It is recognized that the level of detail for the educational campus may of necessity be less precise. However, it is expected that the educational campus component of the Master Plan should, to the degree possible, show the proposed uses, general building locations and functional layout of the school facilities ** - Some components of the Educational Campus design may not be completed by this time, pending the work of other school- related committees .N./�,� l./�.'./�.. ^NV;�' � : ✓��W��/�M /�.'\N \/V'VV�N�/�/�\ NAM/ �.

ATTACHMENT 1 mxgm�W�= In addition to the charge, the Work Group shall use the following Guiding Principles in developing a Master Plan for the site: • The park and school facility functions and uses should conform to the Pre- Concept Plan reviewed and agreed to by the Board of Commissioners on October 22, 2001 and November 13, 2001 • The site should promote a pedestrian-friendly environment and work to discourage automobile traffic between the different components of the site • The protection of important stream corridors and natural areas should be a foremo9t consideration, and active recreation facilities should be designed in concert with the natural surroundings wherever possible. Grading and alteration of the natural landscape should be minimized, with the understanding that some portions of the active recreation area will require grading for playing fields • Generally, all portions of the site not identified for school facilities, playing fields or ancillary uses should adhere to "Olmsteadian" park and open space design principles, promoting open spaces, meadows, and fields that may flexibly be used for a variety of public leisure purposes • Efficiency opportunities in grouping of playing fields and related facilities (lighting, restrooms) should be explored • The open spaces, including trails, should be developed as both an internal and external network, with leisure and pedestrian movement between school facilities and the park addressed internally, and linkage to future Carrboro greenways externally • The plan should promote xeriscaping (native vegetation and minimal water use) within the entire site • The plan should address incorporating the farmstead structures and log cabin into the overall park design • Accordingly, the plan should reflect design that is sensitive to adjoining landowners (particularly the "in-holding" parcel) • The Master Plan should ensure that educational facilities and park amenities are inter-twined based on access and commonality of use, with as seamless of a transition between uses as possible • As information regarding potential co-location of other facilities becomes available, the Work Group may consider this information as directed by the Board of Commissioners • Additional basic operating principles may be developed by the Intergovernmental Parks Work Group and approved by the Board of Commissioners r� nr, i \� RD .
