Corbett family application for 107.84 acres recommended conditionally pending conservation and forest plans
Summary
The APB noted the Corbett family application (107.84 acres) has a completed site visit but outstanding Conservation Plan signatures from nine joint owners and a Forest Management Plan in progress with the NC Forest Service; staff recommended conditional approval contingent on receiving required plans before BOCC materials deadline.
The APB discussed the Corbett family application to enroll two parcels totaling 107.84 acres in the Cedar Grove Agricultural District and recommended conditional approval pending completion of required documents. Staff reported the site visit is complete but the Conservation Plan is awaiting signatures from nine joint landowners and the Forest Management Plan is in progress with the NC Forest Service; staff recommended approval contingent on receiving those signed plans before the BOCC deadline for materials.
Board members approved forwarding the application along with three others to the BOCC consent agenda, but the record notes the Corbett parcels carry a condition. The minutes also mention historical context: the land was once part of a much larger farm owned by B. C. Corbett, described in the record as a widely respected Black farmer believed to have held significant acreage in the county in the 1940s. Staff listed follow‑up actions to secure the outstanding Conservation Plan signatures and to confirm the Forest Management Plan with NC Forest Service.
