Mary Anne Black Director Orange County Recreation and Parks Department 300 West Tryon Street Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 Re : The revised Orange County Master Recreation and Parks Plan with respect to greenways Dear Marvin and Mary Anne : I have reviewed the document accompanying Mary Anne ' s December 22 , 1987 letter and Marvin' s memorandum dated December 31 , 1987 . I have done so at a meeting with Marvin on December 31, 1987 . The Historic Preservation and Conservation Agreements Act , North Carolina General Statutes Section 121-34 et seq. , defines a conservation agreement in very broad terms. It strikes me that almost any limitation on the use of land could be imposed through a conservation agreement. Likewise , the act provides flexibility to deal with almost any conceivable case including the case of an existing structure located in an area proposed for dedication . By agreement with the landowner in question, the structure could continue to be used for the landowner' s lifetime or some series of lifetimes and thereafter revert to the County or the agency to be the ultimate owner of the conservation easement . Thereafter the structure could be used or not as the County or agency desires .
