23 <br /> Staff reviewed possible scenarios for future membership action by the BOCC at their <br /> upcoming Nov. 5 meeting. Back in May, the HPC asked them to consider making an <br /> exception to their established two-term limit and reappoint Dickinson for an additional <br /> term. Action on that request was deferred to the fall due to the spring budget process and <br /> then the bond issue process in October. If they decide that they do not wish to make an <br /> exception then he can continue to serve until March under the one-year"grace" period <br /> provided by their rules and procedures. The application for Tom Loter, historic <br /> preservation architect at UNC (Attachment 4), was recommended for appointment by the <br /> chair and vice chair, so that should be considered and approved by the BOCC in <br /> November. <br /> ITEM #6: UPDATES AND INFORMATION ITEMS <br /> a. Hackney House Landmark Application: <br /> Staff reported that Preservation Chapel Hill has assigned a new intern to complete the <br /> application for this property with its important association with the African American history <br /> of the southern part of the county. We should see it come to completion soon. A field trip <br /> would still be a good idea if members are interested. <br /> b. Open Air Time: <br /> No new topics were presented in the interest of time. <br /> ITEM #7: STAFF PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION: <br /> a. Early Log Houses in northern Cedar Grove Township: <br /> Staff gave a PowerPoint showing views and details of two early log houses. The Tapp <br /> House probably dates from ca. 1840-50 and has a hall and parlor plan with wall logs <br /> exposed on the interior, whitewashed many times, visible where the cardboard and paper <br /> wall coverings have fallen off. The Jordan Tenant House is composed of two separate log <br /> buildings joined by an open breezeway or dogtrot that was later enclosed. The northern <br /> section appears to be quite early, perhaps 1800 to 1840s, with a stone chimney with brick <br /> stack and some very early rounded wood shingles used as shims for later work. The <br /> southern end has a stone chimney with a very unusual well-crafted stone stack still <br /> remaining. Many of the county's early log houses are endangered through abandonment <br /> and deterioration, or through being dismantled and rebuilt or heavily "restored." <br /> ITEM #8: ADJOURNMENT: Ballard moved to adjourn, seconded by Ireland; motion passed. Chair <br /> Dickinson adjourned the meeting at 8:58 pm. <br /> Meeting summary by Peter Sandbeck, DEAPR staff <br /> 3 <br />
