The project is still in
the approval phase by CW-
MTF; however, funding is
promising and could occur
as early as January, said
McComb.
If the project is funded,
CWMTF requires landowners
to place land adjoining
the water beneath a 50-foot
conservation easement,
which would establish a
natural buffer along the
creek to protect the stream
bank, he said.
McComb said the creek
bank along Elkin Creek has
experienced erosion and
deterioration over the last
decade, and, although the
Recreation and Parks Department
and Elkin Public
Works attempt to keep the
banks stabilized, more efforts
are necessary to protect
the creek bank from
further erosion and deterioration.
In his presentation to
the board, McComb noted
the Elkin Creek, each year,
typically loses an average
of four to five large trees,
which help hold the banks
in place.
“We’re barely keeping our
heads above water when
that occurs,” McComb said.
He said the bank near
Memorial Park Drive has
areas that have eroded to
the road bed, placing the
roadway at risk.
“Some of the land between
Memorial Park Drive
and Elkin Creek is owned
by Elkin City Schools,” said
McComb. “If the grant is
funded, the Town would
request that Elkin City
Schools donate a conservation
easement.”
The project encompasses
Elkin City Schools’ property
across from the high
school baseball and football
fields between Memorial
Park Drive and the Elkin
Creek.
McComb said a conservation

the school system would
feature many benefits, including
positive public relations,
utilization of the area
as a “living classroom,”
reduced maintenance costs
and continued availability
for parking.
“Parking would remain
available,” said McComb,
noting parking would continue
to be permitted in
the areas traditionally used
for parking during athletic
events.
The design would include
permeable pavers for parking
along the creek side of
Memorial Park Drive from
the pedestrian bridge to in
front of the apartments, he
said.
Permeable pavers are another
benefit for the school
system, said McComb, as
they provide a hard and
permeable surface able to
withstand parking and will
absorb impact and mitigate
large potholes and mud
puddles, allowing for an im-

proved parking area.
“The Town would respectfully
request that, if
the project is funded, Elkin
City Schools donate a conservation
easement,” said
McComb to members of the
school board.
McComb noted all transactional
costs would be
paid through the grant
except for the attorney’s
fee required by the school
board, a legal description
of the easement would be
prepared by a surveyor and
ECS would be included
within the design process.
“A conservation easement
really means we can
still use it and occupy it,”
said ECS Board Attorney
Fred Johnson.
“We would not have a
deed to the land,” said Mc-
Comb. “We want to keep
the park and the schools
intact, and that’s what we’re
trying to do.”
McComb said all of the
required information has

The design would include permeable pavers (such as the
example pictured here) along the creekside of Memorial Park
Drive from the pedestrian bridge to in front of the apartments.
