RULAC commentsFYI, this is internal discussion with the RULAC board for the reviews
but since this was found I thought I would go ahead and share it.

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Harnett County Rezoning Request - Marshall &
Chance 7-17-19
This parcel falls within a mile of 5+ active red-cockaded woodpecker
clusters. Due to the proximity of known red-cockaded woodpecker
clusters, I would encourage the petitioner to have this property
surveyed by personnel experienced in management and monitoring of the
species prior to the removal of any mature pine trees. The results of
this survey should be sent to the USFWS office located in Southern
Pines, NC for review.
Therefore, I agree with the language included in this review.

Dear RLUAC Board of Directors:
Please see the attached draft RLUAC review of Harnett County
Rezoning request by Hariett Marshall and Vivian Chance. Although the
parcel is neither identified as Critically Important nor Important to
conserve on the JLUS maps, it is contained within a military aircraft
"airfield imagery area and 'natural heritage macrosite area. I have
therefore included wording to encourage the petitioners to conduct a
property survey to determine if there are RCW foraging areas before
removing any mature pine trees.
As always, please e-mail me your review comments within 5
working days.
Thanks,
Jim
