Possible HPC Recommendations for Lands Legacy Action Plan The following are some ideas for recommendations from the comments heard by staff at your last meeting . Please consider . these and other thoughts you might have for discussion at your next meeting . 1 ) Continue efforts to accomplish protection/ preservation of cultural and archaeological sites through parkland acquisition , whenever possible . 2 ) Begin to implement the plan (to be developed in FY 2001 - 02) for the protection of " heritage corridors " in central Orange County . [This is intended as a multi -year objective of protecting colonial and pre- colonial historic sites and roadway corridors , such as St . Mary's Road , Indian Trading Path , John Lawson trail , historic Grayfields , prominent Revolutionary War battlefields and other areas . ] 3 ) Identify protection of Chatwood and Faucette Mill historic sites as a specific project on the priority list of projects to be pursued in 2002- 03 . 4) Identify protection of the Smith - Cole house as a specific project priority . Other potential HPC recommendations for ERCD or BOCC consideration The following are some general recommendations the HPC might want to consider making based on discussion from your September 26 meeting . • The County should involve the HPC in evaluating the potential future use of historic/cultural resources found on lands acquired by the County . Examples include the Laws house (future Little River Regional Park) the Cate farmstead (future Chapel Hill Township Park) , and the 19t" Century log cabin (future Chapel Hill Twp . Park) . • The County should protect significant historic structures and other cultural resources identified on lands that County acquires for parks and open space protection .
