State Historic Preservation Office Planning& Survey Branch 109 East Jones Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Dear Ms. Childers: RE: Survey & Planning Grant Application Open Space Development Design Guidebook At its January 17, 1995 meeting,the Board of County Commissioners authorized me to submit this letter in support for the Survey&Planning Grant Application being submitted by the N.C.Association of County Commissioners on behalf of three case study counties in the Albemarle-Pamlico Watershed.The application seeks $7,500 in grant funds to cover a portion of the costs associated with the preparation of a design guidebook for open space development using the three counties as case studies.The design guidebook thus prepared would serve as a model for the other 34 counties in promoting local planning which protects the environment yet allows for economic growth. The Board of County Commissioners feels that proposal is unique in the sense that it seeks to link different fields of interest, environmental and historic preservation, through a common method of preserving such resources-open space or cluster design.It is also unique in that it involves the cooperative efforts of federal and state agencies, local governments and their association, and private non-profit organizations to produce a document which will benefit the 34 counties located in the Albemarle-Pamlico Watershed in North Carolina and have transferability to all 100 counties in the state. Sincerely, Moses Carey, Jr., Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners YOU COUNT IN ORANGE COUNTY.I
