in close proximity to the project. The sites discussed were the 740 and 750 Houses, the Pembrook
Cove Farm Complex, the Homespun site, the Stuart Brown House and the Route 622 House.
Recommendations were to help screen Homespun from the project through landscaping,
environmental and further archeological studies be conducted around the Pembrook Cove Farm
Complex and the preservation of the 740 and 750 houses through the rezoning process. The
applicant was also encouraged to pursue placing the 750 house on the state and national registries as
it had already been deemed eligible for both according to the Virginia Department of Historic
Resources.

the Society does and what they had been working on. The HRAB then had discussions on how they
could get more involved with the society, possibly through publications. The HRAB stated that they
would like to get more involved with the society.
