SUBJECT : Historic Preservation Commission Meeting, August 22, 2001
DATE : August 15 , 2001
COPIES . Dave Stancil, Director, Environment and Resource Conservation Department
Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday , August 22 , 2001 at 76. 00 a .m. in the Planning and
Agricultural Center .
The primary objective of this meeting is to refine our draft map for the Heritage/Scenic Corridor pilot project.
The HPC established a general consensus over which areas of the road contain important cultural elements
and which areas retain scenic areas in the spring . We now want to re-evaluate the potential viewsheds with
more precision to determine the size and extent of each area, not just the general location . Our second
task will be to prepare for a series of outreach meetings for member of the community in the fall . The
community meetings will be our opportunity to explain the proposal to local residents and obtain their input
about the special corridor concept and their interest in participating as a pilot project .
Finally we will revisit the annual Lands Legacy Action Plan process and begin to consider important
cultural and heritage sites that need protection .
I.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, August 22, 2001 .
