RECREATION AND PARK WORK GROUP (RPWG)
Review of Meeting on October 19 , 1995
Work Group Members : Hank Anderson, Rosemary Waldorf, Bill Crowther, Gary Barnes, Lorraine
Parker, Doris Murrell
Other Interested Persons : Keith Cook, Lee Pavao, Martin Feinstein
Staf Richard Kinney, Bob Jones, Mike Loveman
I . Hank Anderson opened the meeting .
II . Subcommittee reports were presented on the following topics : Park Standards and Local
Ordinances, Public/Private Recreation Service Providers, and School/Government
Coordination. The Work Group discussed each subject in great detail .
III . The Work Group decided to fold the Public/Private Recreation Service Providers and
School/Government Coordination topics into the format of the report on " Park Standards
and Local Ordinance Comparison" and include a final section for recommendations to the
Orange County Assembly of Governments . The staff for these two committees will provide
the lead agency (Carrboro) formatted reports and any items to be included in the appendix
by November 10, 1995 . The lead agency will strive to send out with the November agenda
a draft of the full report.
IV. The Work Group decided that a recommendation be written that requests the jurisdictions '
Planning Departments attempt to develop and write the most advantageous recreation and
park requirements for all Orange County governments to include in their Land Use
Ordinance . Common environmental concerns should be addressed, i. e . Bolin Creek,
Morgan Creek, etc .
Further direction was given to include a draft school/park agreement in the report.
v. The November 16, 1995 meeting at Orange County' s Homestead Center was moved up in
time to 4 : 30 p . m . A dinner will be provided since many members have to attend another
meeting afterwards .

SUBJECT : RPWG Report / Standards
DATE : November 10 , 1995
I have tried to remove some of the information in the report to
condense its size . This is the first attempt at putting a draft
together , so I ' m sure that there will need to be a lot of changes .
It would be helpful if you could jot down your suggestions so that
I can take them with me from the meeting . In order to get this to
you as soon as possible , Section III will have , to be processed into
our department ' s computer program at the beginning of next week .
Setting standards is difficult at best due to the changes taking
place at the state and national level . I have discussed several
concepts or scenarios with two park planning consultants and
directors in other states . Ultimately , each community is " on its
own " in doing this . They agree that a Triangle Area ranking might
be most appropriate , because we are naturally compared to , and
somewhat compete with , other Triangle counties in regards to
quality of life .
The practicality of developing current and accurate data to make
comparisons would be better using this method . However , the entire
document is now open to your perusal and criticism . I ' m sure the
final document will be one that each of you can be proud of .
Please contact me if I can provide clarification or you have any
questions . Thank you .

I. Introduction
• 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 H&Carrboro and Orange County School Boards . The Town of
Hillsborough administration chose not to 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, standards must be
developed that are acceptable to all . In setting standards for recreation and park
facility and service 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 students and
employees . There 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 . The
unincorporated areas of the county are becoming more urbanized with the additional
subdivisions that are being approved . Often, these subdivisions are not annexed into
the municipal limits causing a more increased urbanization of Orange County as
well . This means that the demand for recreation and parks will increase as the
population becomes more urbanized across Orange County .
Page 1
• Taken together, these factors point to the need to expand recreation and park
facilities and services at an accelerating rate over the coming years .
II. Local Land Use Ordinances and Park Standards
Local Land Use Ordinances
• All three jurisdictions (Carrboro , Chapel Hill and Orange County) have historically
recognized the significance of requiring " set aside " requirements for recreation
within their subdivision ordinances . A jurisdiction has two ways to develop a park
system, through the general taxpayer 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.
• The three jurisdictions can allow for off-site improvements or donations of land to
provide for large, planned park sites contributed to by more than one subdivision .
• All three jurisdictions 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 .
• The same ordinance requirements could be considered for all jurisdictions since the
net effect of each " set aside " ordinance provision is to allow new development to
shoulder their impact on existing and future recreation and park facilities .
• Carrboro is presently considering a change to their recreation requirements to
become more land intensive due to pressure existing on undeveloped sites in its
planning jurisdiction . Total build-out of Carrboro' s planning jurisdiction is projected
to occur by the year 2010 .
Page 2
Park Standards
• Please refer to Appendix 1 for a full comparison of the previously adopted park
classifications for each jurisdiction .
Park types are broken 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 .
• 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 close . 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 .
• Much of what has been said in the forgoing section is the same for 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 .
Park and facility standards are detailed in Appendix 1 and 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, the athletic stadium and others . National
and state standards do not reflect these types of quasi-public facilities .
Page 3
• The school teams , after- school and summer programs at the schools eliminate much
of the availability of school recreation facilities for public programs .
• However, the subcommittee was concerned with the uniqueness of UNC-CH and
the impact of their recreation facilities on the development of standards .
• The subcommittee determined that in applying standards to the population of Orange
County, that 11 ,000 (students living in dormitories and fraternities/sororities) could
be subtracted from the 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 jurisdiction's 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 .
• 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 .
Page 4
• 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.
• 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 year. For purposes of the following
calculations, 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 calendar year .
• The following chart represents the most updated information on population in
Orange County .
STATE OF NC CERTIFIED POPULATION
July 1 , 1992 July 1 , 1993 IM
Chapel Hill 41 ,524 42, 918Carrboro 12, 786 13, 052Coun 99 ,674 101 , 599
Source : NC Office of State Planning
Page 5
• 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 needs by park types (Appendix 1 )
based on this population follows :
Park Type Acreage Needed Existing
to Meet Standard Acres
District Parks 468 0
CommunityParks 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 . Perhaps by as much 898 acres if
population is used as the basis to formulate standards .
• 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 Carrboro and Chapel Hill to total 2 ,417 . These two
municipalities , in order to meet standard for this projected year, would need to _
acquire and develop an additional 19 acres of community parks , 4 . 8 acres of
neighborhood parks , and the standard for mini-parks is presently met . The County
would need to bring on-line 12 acres in 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 State of NC has
just published its preliminary SCORP and will no longer provide state standards for
park and recreation facilities . The plan 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 .
Page 6
• The National Recreation and Park Association is contemplating moving from
standards based on population number and instead ranking under population
categories 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 . An annual survey of their
facilities would be manageable and 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 the 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 .
( See Section III beginning on next page)

III . School /Government Coordination
A . Subcommittee reviewed the facility use agreements of the Orange County
School System and the Chapel Hill /Carrboro City School System .
Both systems are similar in their agreements with the Recreation and
Parks Departments and provide facility use for little or no fees charged .
I .
B . There are nine school sites available in the County School System and
thirteen in the Chapel Hill /Carrboro School System that are existing
or under construction .
Co All three Recreation and Parks Departments rely greatly on the use of
School facilities . Although the outdoor athletic facilities are the most
demanded ; auditoriums , arts and music rooms , media centers , and
gymnasiums are widely used .
Number of school sites that are presently being used or have been used
in the past are :
Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation = Four ( 4 )
Carrboro Recreation and Parks = Seven ( 7 )
Orange County Recreation and Parks = Eight ( 8 )
D . 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 .
E . Surplus land exists at some of the school campuses around the County .
State standards recommend that school districts purchase approximately
20 acres for elementary school and 35 acres for middle schools . An
elementary school only needs & 9 acres for the actual school building
and infrastructure . This leaves 11 - 1 2 acres for a community park .
Building a community 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 .
F . 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
for outside access for restroom facilities for potential . park patrons .
Building schools and parks together is a win /win situation for everyone .
G . The School / Park concept i � not unique . Wake County developed a
plan in the early 1980 ' s and most recently adopted a School / Park Master
Plan in 1993 and presently has eleven School / Park sites .
For the purpose of this Work Group the Wake County plan is used as
a model .
H . The Recreation and Parks Director for Wake County made a presentation
to the 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 .
I . 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 outdoor recreational activities .
J . 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 .
K . This Committee endorses the concept of a School / Park Plan and suggests
that an agreement between the appropriate School Systems and the
Municipal and County Recreation and Parks Departments be formulated .
( See attached Draft of Agreement for Providing Coordinated Facility
Planning )
IV. Public/Private Recreation Partnerships
• 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 total 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 system for cooperation must exist between the private and
public sectors .
• When recreation partnerships are developed, they should 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 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 commercial recreation providers is attached as Appendix 7 .
• Although the 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 .
Page 8
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Set standards based on ranking with other Triangle Area Counties . Determine parks
facilities and classifications to be surveyed . Develop mechanism for annual review
of park and facility standards by all jurisdictions .
• Endorse the concept of a School/Park Plan and suggest that an agreement between
the appropriate School Systems and the Municipal and County Recreation and Parks
Departments be formulated .
• Standardize all documents used by the three jurisdictions when contracting with
private recreation providers . (Personnel, Facilities , Program Management)
• Seek to 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 .
