FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT <br /> Section A PURPOSES <br /> The purposes of Flexible Development are to preserve agricultural and forestry lands,natural and cultural features, and <br /> rural community character that might be lost through conventional development approaches. To accomplish this goal, <br /> greater flexibility and creativity in the design of such developments is encouraged and allowed Specific objectives are <br /> as follows: <br /> • To preserve areas of the county with productive soils for continued agncu ltnral and forestry use by preserving <br /> blocks of land large enough to allow for efficient operations. <br /> • To encourage the preservatim and improvement of habitat for various forms of wildlife and to create new <br /> woodlands through natural succession and reforestation where appropriate. <br /> • To minimise site disturbance;and erosion through retention of existing vegetation and avoiding development <br /> on steep slopes. <br /> • To preserve open hand,mcloding those areas containing unique and sensitive features such as natural areas and <br /> wildlife habitats, steep slopes, strew ns, wal nds, and floodplams. <br /> • To preserve scenic views and elements of the county's rural character, and to mmimi perceived density by <br /> minimizing views of new development from existing roads. <br /> • To preserve and maiatam historic and archaeological sites and structures that serve as significant visible <br /> reminders of the county's social and architectural history. <br /> Flexible Development 1 <br />
