2 <br />New Hope Creek and Steep Bottom Branch. Some places, such as the Lloyd- Andrews <br />Historic Farm and Steep Bottom Branch, are protected by conservation easements held by <br />Orange County, the Triangle Land Conservancy or the Conservation Trust of North Carolina. <br />A Question and Answer document produced by the North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation is attached as background regarding the North Carolina Scenic Byway <br />program. The program allows visitors and residents to experience North Carolina history, <br />geography and culture and the chance to see beautiful landscapes. Development or land - <br />use is not regulated by the Byway designation. There are two existing Scenic Byways in <br />Orange County — the "Colonial Heritage Highway" (NC 86 north of Hillsborough) and <br />"Football Road" (Old Greensboro Road west of Carrboro). <br />The NTA Advisory Board has requested the support of Orange County for its application to <br />the state. The final application is due by August 31. <br />On July 28, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) considered the application and <br />recommended that the County support this effort. A letter of support from the HPC is <br />attached. <br />A proposed resolution of County support for the application is attached for the Board's <br />consideration. It would be attached to the application as an appendix. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. There is no cost associated with the application other than <br />staff time involved in helping prepare materials. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the resolution <br />of support and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of Orange County. <br />
