F4 conducted, the inventory was based almost exclusively on existing documentation. In 1988, a Master ecreation and Parks Plan was prepared for Orange County. During lthe same e year, the Triangle Land Conservancy completed Inventory of Natural Areas and wildlife Habitats of Orange Coin• These studies provided a more detailed identification of.sites than identified in the 1986 Inventory. A goal of the Planning DQfa�h�eaetailedlinventoriesd has been the completion through a survey of historic sites and structures. Based on a recent project in another county, HPO has estimated that a complete inventory of the unincorporated portions of Orange County would cost $41,300. Given the cost, an alternate strategy is to approach the survey on a township -by- township basis, beginning with the most urbanized township, Chapel .Hill Township. The Town of Chapel Hill is applying as a CLG for a $5,000 grant to update existing historic district surveys, produce a new historic significance survey of the Gimghoul Area, and produce a survey of all the historic sites and structures within the corporate limits and extraterritorial planning area. The Town of Carrboro has been extensively surveyed in recent years. if additional survey work is needed, it would be undertaken locally without HPO assistance. HPO has estimated that it would cost $10,000 to Hill survey the unincorporated portions mately threelmonths Township and would take app to complete. HPO has also indicated that Orange County, if interested in applyingr should request $5,000 in funding. Funds are available he the Planning Department budget to provide the matching funds. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that thetCo nt000 Manager be authorized to apply rant Program. The from the Survey and Planning Grant from Orange amount would be matched by $ County and would be used to conduct an inventory of historic sites and structures in the unincorporated portions of Chapel Hill Township.
