Study the feasibility of designating portions of the Eno and Haw Rivers as North Carolina Scenic Rivers <br /> to promote recognition of these critical river resources. The N.C. Scenic Rivers program may provide a <br /> means of recognizing these critical resources without limiting the development potential of riverside <br /> property- <br /> 6. Use the approach employed in the New Hope Creek Corridor Study to protect other strategic stream <br /> corridors as well as wildlife habitats and natural areas contained therein. Such stream corridor studies <br /> should result in wildlife corridors and not greenways, i ;;::; otair ';;' ;.;.:.;....:; tsaei <br /> r::..r:::::::::::::................................ ...:.........::..........:...::..::. <br /> ...AY...4.44:....:v A:n.N.......... :....i....... ....:....... /.,.►..,�...i <br /> �:A!iR:•,.Mi::}.. rill\{N` :ii.`1fIF':7IAf/F.•::v'::r::n;•yn :}}j��i: �i:•:ti <br /> ...{{iJ}:i4.'••:C.•. ..Y....:4}:{i•}%.}}:v.�ry.. m::::n.............

Following implementation of Flexible Development options, prepare an annual report for the Board of <br /> Commissioners and Planning Board evaluating the impact of such options on natural areas and wildlife <br /> corridors, including an assessment of the possible need for additional strategies as needed. <br /> 8. Support potential connection of Orange County's wildlife corridors with a proposed Triangle-wide system. <br /> Such inter-connection is important for wildlife movement along inter-basin corridors across the Triangle <br /> region. <br /> 9. Support the proposed Purchase of Development Rights program,including its use to preserve natural areas, <br /> wildlife corridors, and historic sites in association with farms and forest lands. Use the Land Evaluation <br /> and Site Assessment (LESA) system to rank/compare sites for development rights acquisition. <br /> 10. Pursue local voluntary Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) legislation and direct the Agricultural <br /> Districts Advisory Board to cooperate with regional efforts to protect natural areas, wildlife habitats and <br /> corridors, and historic/archaeological sites. <br /> Goals& Action Strategies 4 <br />
