OAK RIDGE – Oak Ridge Town Council plans to consider authorizing town staff to seek financing for development of Heritage Farm Park.
Sam Anders, the town’s finance officer, is working with Truist and Piedmont Federal banks on borrowing for construction of two multipurpose fields, a playground and other improvements slated for the 62 acres on Linville Road behind Town Hall.
Planning for the park has advanced in recent months after efforts proved successful in securing an adequate supply of well water for irrigating fields and supplying bathrooms. If the town’s selection of a general contractor for the project proceeds as planned, construction may begin next spring, Town Manager Bill Bruce told the council last month.
The council also plans to hold two public hearings, the first as part of its consideration of a rezoning request. The town is seeking the rezoning of the 1.23-acre tract that contains the historic Redmon farmhouse at Linville Road and Lisa Drive.
Rezoning the property from RS-30 (residential, with minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet) to PI (public and institutional) would accommodate the town’s plans to convert the house into the Farmhouse Community Center.
Second, the council plans to hold a public hearing as it considers amending the town’s code of ordinances to create a new section related to regulating trees in town.
For Oak Ridge to maintain its standing as a Tree City USA, the Arbor Day Foundation has told the town it needs to establish rules for regulating trees on municipally owned property, according to a staff report to the council.
Oak Ridge also needs to create a board to create and oversee implementation of an annual tree plan and establish a minimum standard of care and related enforcement.
In a related move, the council plans to consider appointing John Browning, Austin Goldman, Roy Nydorf and Nancy Stoudemire to the Tree Board.
In other business, the council plans to honor Carolyn Brown with remembrances of the “Queen of Oak Ridge,” who died Nov. 15 at age 88. Over her lifetime, she made long-term connections and formed many friendships as school secretary at Oak Ridge Elementary for 25 years, as well as a charter member of Oak Ridge Lions Club and a participant in several ministries of Oak Ridge United Methodist Church.
Separately, Mayor Ann Schneider plans to express the town’s appreciation to the Guilford Battle Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. During recent workdays to remove overgrowth and clean several graves in the Old Union Graveyard, chapter members uncovered six gravestones that had been covered by plant debris for more than 50 years.
In addition, Oak Ridge Troop 600 scout Nick Jamieson plans to present a donation to the Veterans Honor Green. For his Eagle Scout project, he organized a 5K race and 1-mile family fun run/walk in Town Park in October, with proceeds earmarked for the veterans’ site.
The council also plans to consider appointing Beth Walker to the Board of Adjustment and to adopt the town’s meeting and holiday schedule for 2023. want to attend/watch?
The 7 p.m. meeting at Town Hall this Thursday, Dec. 1, is open to the public.
The meeting will be livestreamed on the town’s YouTube channel. For more information, visit www.oakridgenc.com.
