O'S 4 <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 hearing 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-Cole 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 forward 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 /> s <br />
