ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 22 . <br /> 306F REVERE ROAD <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br /> HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br /> October 5, 1995 <br /> William J. Waddell, Jr., Chair <br /> Orange County Planning Board <br /> 6513 Meadow View Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Re: Flexible Development Proposal <br /> Dear Mr. Waddell: <br /> At its meeting of October 3, 1995, the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to endorse <br /> the Flexible Development proposal. <br /> The Historic Preservation Commission received a report on the Flexible Development proposal from the <br /> Planning Department staff at our meeting of August 8. We have continued to study Flexible Development <br /> and query staff on various aspects of the proposal. We offer the following comments: <br /> • The Historic Preservation Commission of Orange County supports offering developers and <br /> landowners the voluntary choice of Flexible Development. <br /> • We enthusiastically support the adoption of the Comprehensive Resources Map. The Commission <br /> appreciates the inclusion of National Register,National Register Study List,and locally-designated <br /> historic landmarks,districts,and archeological sites as Primary Conservation Areas,with remaining <br /> Historic Inventory sites listed as Secondary Conservation Areas. <br /> • The Historic Preservation Commission considers Flexible Development to be a positive tool for <br /> meeting Orange County's preservation goals. Furthermore, the proposal will provide great <br /> opportunities for private landowner initiatives and voluntary strategies to preserve historic and <br /> archeological sites and viewscapes. <br /> We urge the Planning Board to approve the Flexible Development proposal <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Todd Dickinson aw <br /> Chair <br /> cc: Marvin Collins, Planning Director <br /> Gene Bell, Planner III/Comprehensive Planning <br /> Don Belk, Planner II/Special Projects <br />
