The Historic Preservation Element will be <br /> completed during 1995. The Jaeger Company,a highly respected firm from Gainesville,Georgia, will work <br /> with Planning Department staff to develop a preservation plan that can be integrated into the overall goals <br /> and objectives of the County. Concurrent with completion of the preservation plan, the Historic <br /> Preservation Commission seeks your support for the following goals and objectives for the 1995-96 fiscal <br /> year: <br /> o Establish a priority list of the County's most significant historical and architectural resources for <br /> designation as Orange County Historic Landmarks; <br /> o Develop Design Guidelines to ensure that officially-designated historic landmarks retain their <br /> unique characteristics; <br />
