Please accept my <br />apology for the lengthy delay in contacting you about the landmark designation process. Unexpected <br />personnel changes in our department have forced us to alter the completion dates for several projects. <br />However, historic designation of your property remains a priority, and I am glad to infonn you that we are <br />proceeding with this effort. <br />At the February 25, 1998 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), a report on the proposed <br />landmark designation of Moorefields will be considered. If the report is accepted by the HPC, it will be <br />forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Division of Archives and History, for <br />review and comment. The State has 30 days in which to comment upon the report. Upon return of their <br />comments, the Historic Preservation Commission may forward a request to the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners to adopt an ordinance designating Moorefields as a County Historic Landmark. <br />You will be notified by mail approximately one week prior to the February HPC meeting. <br />Again, I apologize for the delay. Please be assured that the process is underway. If you have any questions, <br />please do not hesitate to call me at 732-8181, extension 2594. <br />Sincerely, <br />Donald R. Belk, AICP <br />Preservation Planner <br />/db <br />
