28 Summary and Recommendations Orange County has the intention of purchasing a 2.691 acre parcel located at 210 Hillsborough Street, Carrboro, North Carolina. (PII? #9778684269). Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas, Inc._(ACC)conducted adue diligence investigation related to cultural resources which might be affected by the proposed construction_ The archaeological evahlaxionidentified no archaeologicalresources withinapproximately0.5 mile of the tract. Our field investigations identified a single prehistoric artifact (31OR636). This isolated find is not considered a significant resource. No additional archaeological evaluation at the tract is warranted. The effect o f the proposed development on historic homes is a little more complicated. There are no properties of significance recorded with the NC Dept. of Archives and History, but an architectural survey for Carrboro in 1983 identified five houses in the vicinity which should be considered significant resources. The main concern for these is mostly relaxed to the access onto Hillsboro Street, as it seems to run along the eastern boundary of one of these houses (212 Hillsborough Street. It is likely that vegetation buffers may be sufficient for lessening any effects on any of the historic houses. Once formal plans are prepared for the hbrary, parking lot, access road, etc., a more detailed review of specific effects will hkely be warranted., but this would not be a major undertaking.
