The property is located in Bingham Township (Orange <br /> County)along the east side of Bradshaw Quarry Road(SR 1115) at the intersection with Oak <br /> Grove Church Road(SR 1117). The property is located southwest of Thompson Mountain <br /> (also known as"Thunder Mountain")and northwest of the Cane Creek Reservoir. A location <br /> map is provided as Attachment A. <br /> The Shys purchased the property in 1979-80 and have resided there since 1982. The property <br /> is comprised of two adjacent tracts: Lot 1-R(32.95 acres)and Lot 2 (11.77 acres). Lot 1-R <br /> is comprised of Lot 1-A,which includes the Shys'primary residence, and Lot 1-B,which has <br /> frontage on Bradshaw Quarry Road and Apple Mill Road. Lot 2 is bounded on three sides by <br /> Lot 1-R and will to be conveyed to the Shys' daughter for her future home site. A map of the <br /> lot configuration and owners of adjacent parcels is provided as Attachment B. <br /> The property is zoned in Orange County as Agricultural Residential(AR)and is within the <br /> Cane Creek Protected Watershed District. A large portion of the property is in the watershed <br /> "Critical Area,"or within one-half mile of the reservoir.
