o~.~ , <br />'c' r <br />MOTION: Dickinson moved in the affirmative. Seconded by Satterfield. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. <br />AGENDA ITEM #6: ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION <br />a. Dr. Arch Jordan House National Register Nomination <br />Belk stated that the nomination is finished and has approval by the State so it will now go to <br />public heazing next month. The Historic Preservation Commission will determine if this house <br />meets the criteria for National Register Nomination. Belk would like to put this property on the <br />Historic Preservation Commission's agenda the very next meeting after if it listed and get the <br />local designation. <br />b. Landmark Designation Priority List: <br />(1) Smith-Cote House <br />(2) Pittard Place <br />(3) Benjamin Duke House <br />Belk reported that letters to the owners of these properties have gone out, but no responses have <br />been received yet. He will make contact again in the next few weeks to try to gain the <br />participation of these owners as the Historic Preservation Commission moves forwazd in doing <br />their request for proposals and hiring a consultant to do a study. <br />Belk clarified that for the properties that are on the National Register Study List, Orange County <br />is funding a National Register nomination. At some point, the Historic Preservation Commission <br />may want to designate properties locally that may not meet the National Register criteria, but are <br />of such local importance that the Historic Preservation Commission would want to list and <br />protect them. In that case, a local report would be funded. At present though, all of the priorities <br />are on the National Register Study List. <br />c. Minor Subdivision Application: Impact on Archeological Resources <br />Belk stated that they received a major subdivision application and the site is in the area where an <br />archeological site is located. They contacted the State Office who sent information on the site to <br />Belk. This information is being given to the owner with an encouragement that if anything is <br />encountered, to please let the State Office know and they would happy to come out and look at it. <br />But there are no restrictions on the landowner. <br />Belk reported that there is a possibility that they will be working on a~project with the UNC-CH <br />Research Laboratories for Anthropology in getting the topographic sites digitized into our GIS <br />system to provide a map of the sites. Belk will provide more information on this at the next <br />Historic Preservation Commission meeting. <br />
