Summary
The wooded conservation area required by the Pate-Harris rezoning could become Town-owned land managed by the Triangle Land Conservancy. The Town would take on tree-fall liability, so staff wants a 30-foot buffer kept between the easement and backyards.

Impact analysis
Tree removal by contractors could run $3,000-$5,000 per tree, and insurance premiums could rise, though transfer costs fall on the developer.
Residents get permanently protected green space next to Joyner Park.
Nobody directly, though nearby homeowners would live beside Town-managed woodland with its liability questions.
