07;3 <br /> COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCES MAP <br /> The inventory presented in the preceding sections catalogues a diverse range of resources: water, land, <br /> plant and animal, and cultural and scenic. Traditionally, such resources have been viewed separately as <br /> being so sensitive that almost any development would destroy their resource values, or grouped <br /> together in limited ways to identify those features which preclude development for reasons of health <br /> and safety. <br /> The Development Constraints Map is an example of this approach Pertinent features such as <br /> floodplains, steep slopes, and impermeable soils are identified, located, and evaluated in terns of their <br /> significance. A composite map is then prepared which combines the information layers together to see <br /> the overall pattern of potential development areas. This technique is often referred to as 'overlay or <br /> sieve mapping" because the most suitable land for development becomes apparent as those areas that <br /> drop through the"sieve" of information layers. <br /> Identifying Conservation Areas <br /> While the Development Constraints Map underlines those features to be considered for health and <br /> safety reasons, a more effective approach is to focus on those resources considered essential to a <br /> coherent conservation network, then let its size and location be a central organizing theme in the land <br /> use planning process. The preparation of a Comprehensive Resources Map utilizes such an approach <br /> and displays resources which have been grouped together into two categories-"Primary Conservation <br /> Areas"and Secondary Conservation Areas". <br /> Primary Conservation Areas: Sensitive environmental resources, historically significant sites, and <br /> features considered unbuildable because of their limitations or inherent unsuitability for development <br /> should be placed in"Primary Conservation Areas". Such features include: <br /> • Wetlands; <br /> • Floodplains and alluvial soils; <br /> • Steep slopes; <br /> • Natural areas, and wildlife corridors and habitats; <br /> • Historic and archaeological sites,including: <br /> 0 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places; <br /> 0 sites included on the State's National Register study list; <br /> 0 sites designated as a local historic landmark; <br /> 0 areas designated as a local historic district;and <br /> 0 areas identified as having a high potential for archaeological remains. <br /> Secondary Conservation Areas: Within the second broad category of conservation areas, resources <br /> vary more widely m importance,vuhierability or fiagility,and consist of the following <br /> • Woodlands; <br /> • Prime farnland; <br /> • Other historic and/or archaeological sites; <br />
