N.C.; • A required Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement; and/or • An independent site study conducted by a trained architectural historian or archaeologist. When a historic or archaeological site is to be set aside as a separate lot,and preserved and/or restored as part of a Flexible Development, the entire area within the lot may be credited toward meeting the minimum open space requirement. Because they represent sensitive environmental features and/or significant cultural resources considered umbu dable in a legal or practical sense, Primary Conservation Areas are to be the first type of open space designated on a Flexible Development Concept Plan to satisfy the minimum open space requirement. c. Secondary Conservation Apes consist of the following site features: • Woodlands, mchKbng forest land for the planting and production of trees and timber, where management practices such as selective timber harvesting and wildlife enhancement are employed.Such woodlands may consist of hardwood,pine, and/or mixed pine-hardwood forests identified as part of. • LANDSAT satellite data collected and analyzed under the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study; • A site analysis conducted by a registered engineer, land surveyor, landscape architect, architect or land plaomer using aerial photographs and/or satell ite imagery; • A required Environnenal Assam or Environmental Impact Statement; and/or • An independent site study conducted by a trained botanist and/or forester. • Farmland,especially prime agricultural lead as identified by the U.S.D.A.
