Golan also reported that Nicholas Corbett Hester house on Hwy . 86 is being renovated and suggested that staff send the new owners information regarding the Local Landmark Program . Moon said that she had already made contact with the new owners and would gladly send them the materials . i Golan reported speaking with Kathleen Turner, of the Hillsborough Preservation Alliance , regarding better communication between the town and the county . He invited Turner to meet with the HPC later this spring on an informal basis to see how we can all work together. Moon reported that she had spoken to Ms . Turner recently regarding a number of issues , and that Ms . Turner provided information about an African American community group in the northern part of the county . The HPC had expressed concern over of how to include African -American sites in the architectural history book without a clear link to specific structures . Turner reported that there still are some sites with surviving buildings linked to the African -American community . Golan displayed a photographic documentary book of the African - American community in Vance County . Golan asked staff to prepare a list of the ideas and discussion topics that the HPC has covered over the last few meetings for the March meeting . The list should help the HPC prioritize the items and figure out who is going to do what .

" Strategic planning tends to be favored by officials comes into4 play when some unit of government (federal , state who , for whatever reasons (typically political or related to job or local) proposes to do or build something — to construct a security) , avoid a hard decision regarding a given course of road or highway, put up a public building, dredge a channel , action and use " mediation " and "negotiation " to help find a etc .

Typically, these are called environmental impact statements . Small area plans can , of course, be useful in taking the land use component of the local comprehensive plan to the next This early warning or disclosure process makes it possible for level of detail. But there are two serious disadvantages to this opponents to slow down or stop a project in different ways approach. First, this kind of detailed planning — more akin to and at several levels of intervention. The most straightfor- design than planning — should happen only after a land-use ward and obvious tactic is simple political pressure. A some- plan is officially adopted and in place . Too often SAPs are not what more ritualized approach of this kind would be like much more than a tortured rationale for spot zoning , which, Section 106 of the 1966 Preservation Act, requiring only the when approved, seeks to provide an excuse to tear the review and comment of experts , perhaps coupled with bind- approved land use plan apart or ignore it altogether.

The comprehensive plan approach is close- ly related to the old, so-called master plan . Typically, a comprehensive plan includes a variety of ele- ments such as land use, transportation , public utilities and facilities , parks , open space, . housing, preservation, urban design, and the like. This sort of planning was popular in the 1950s because federal money under section 701 of the 1949 Housing Act paid for it . But it was displaced in the 1960s and thereafter by the drift of planners and planning schools away from dealing with hard growth and design issues to soft soci � ological and economic approaches focusing on people , poverty, and policy rather than on the physical environment. There is value , of course, in projecting (in the land-use plan component of the comprehensive plan) , where and what kind of growth should or should not take place . This makes it pos - sible to begin to deal with the marginal frictions that take place at the borders of neighborhoods or the places where one land use meets another that may be incompatible with it.
