<br />OGJ121 <br /> <br />land are planned for Zone 3. Thus, except in unusual <br />situations-involving. perhaps, accessways-acquisition in this zone <br />of the full fee title, generally, is not necessary. In fact. acquisition <br />of any portion of the estate may be unnecessary where local <br />zoning is adequate and continuous to insure developments and uses <br />complementary to and compatible with the historical area, For <br />example, if a tract is zoned for single-family residences or low-lying <br />commercial structures and these are compatible with the <br />environment of the historical area. no acquisition may be needed. <br />On the other hand, acquisition of a scenic or development <br />easement may be necessary-in the absence of zoning-to prevent <br />development, as for example. high-rise structures that may impair <br />the environment of the area. <br /> <br />The three zones, as noted above, cannot be applied precisely and <br />rigidly to each and every acre within an area. They are <br />approximations at best, Their use as planning and management <br />tools is designed to achieve the public purpose of historical areas <br />while minimizing costs and reducing as much as possible personal <br />hardships and inconveniences occasioned by land acquisition. In <br />these circumstances, it is to be expected, quite naturally, that there <br />will be examples found of land classifications falling into zones <br />other than in the manner prescribed above. These exceptions <br />should be explained in the Master Plan. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />In summary, however, it is to be expected that proportionately <br />more of the lands in Zone 1 need to be acquired in fee and that <br />the acquisition of some lesser interests, such as scenic or access <br />easements or development restrictions, will occur less frequently <br />than in Zones 2 and 3. I n Zone 2, it is to be expected that fee <br />acquisition, proportionately, will be less than in Zone 1 and <br />acquisition of interests less than fee will be proportionately higher <br />than in Zone 1 (except where lands are already in public <br />ownership as in the case of State or public domain lands). Zoning <br />control may also suffice in some limited cases in Zone 2. It is to <br />be expected that zoning control wi II be proportionately higher in <br />Zone 3 than in Zone 2 and that the acquisition of fee title less <br />than fee interests in land in Zone 3 will be proportionately lower <br />than in Zone 2. <br /> <br />10 <br />
