WHEREAS, the Preliminary Package of the project referenced in the title of this
resolution meets the requirements of the Stanley Historic District Master Plan for a
Preliminary Package; and

development agreement with regard to the conditions listed below; and
WHEREAS, a Final Package in conformance with the Stanley Historic District
Master Plan shall be submitted for TRC review and decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TECHNICAL REVIEW

solution advantageous to, and in conformity with, the intent of the Master Plan.
