a landfill site. 53 Lea stated that there are so few pristine settings left in the County. She stated that Orange County is fortunate to have Maple Hill. Todd Dickinson stated that he visited the farm with the previous owners and did some repair work. He noted that he thinks the site is worth preserving. White commented that she appreciates Todd pointing out the fact that he had done some work at the site. She stated that she thinks it is perfectly appropriate for members of the Commission to do negotiations of this sort as part of their job but the Commission should know about it. Cameron stated that the role of the Commission in terms of approval of a landfill is comment on the approval of a Class A Special Use Permit and Environmental Impact Statement.

VOTE: Unanimous. AGENDA ITEM #5: REPORTS a. Status of State Grants Program Application Cameron reminded the Commission that the State Grants application was made for the publication of the inventory book. The announcement of grant recipients was to be made the first of December. She stated that she had called the Secretary's office today and was told they are still considering the applications. A decision should be made within the next week. She stated that this prevents the completion of the forms and proceeding with the next survey and planning grant. If the County does not get the State Grants application, the publication should be submitted for the next survey and planning grant rather than the Preservation Plan. She stated that this is due January 31, 1994. b. Manuscript Subcommittee Cameron distributed the subcommittee report prepared by Jean Anderson (copy attached) .

Pat Dickinson stated that she would like to see the photographs that were taken. Allison stated that he thinks it is important to have a pretty book, but it is also important to document the things that may not be such great looking buildings. White
