Comments: Sense of community; I believe neighborhoods and <br />churches offer sense of community, but not sure that <br />"sections" of county do; do it through churches and civic <br />organizations in the private sector; don't understand how to <br />answer question; and agree in principle, but how is it done? <br />6. Allow owners to realize value from their land <br />Agree: 11 Disagree: 0 Undecided: 0 No Response: 0 <br />Comments: But should not take awav from value of other <br />people's land; must be flexible in seeing how owners can get <br />money from non - conventional options too; but not necessarily <br />the highest bid, no matter the consequences; and owners should <br />be allowed to realize value from sale of their land. <br />7. Maintain viability of natural systems <br />Agree: 8 Disagree: 0 Undecided: 2 No Response: 1 <br />Comments: Vital_; needs to be defined; within reason; water, <br />wildlife, trees are natural systems that become stagnant or <br />die if they aren't used - we must manage them; and prefer <br />development that minimizes impact on natural systems. <br />8. Screen development from the roads <br />Agree: 8 Disagree: 1 Undecided: 2 No Response: 0 <br />Comments: Unrealistic, you can't preserve all roadsides, <br />creek banks, pastures, slopes, and ridges; not necessary in <br />density - neutral /neo- traditional; fairly easy to do, helps <br />preserve character tremendously; trees are not the only <br />screens; and strongly support this. <br />9. Maintain wildlife corridors <br />Agree: 9 Disagree: 2 Undecided: 0 No Response: 0 <br />Comments: Of limited lona -term bracticality: corridors need to <br />be better explained and defined; important for future quality <br />of life; within reason; wildlife will find undeveloped areas <br />to dwell in - where is division between wildlife and pests; <br />and agree, depending on viability and cost. <br />10. Encourage higher density adjacent to existing urban areas <br />Agree: 7 Disagree: 2 Undecided: 1 No Response: 1 <br />Comments: There are urban areas in Stoney Creek region; not <br />here; there are no existing urban areas in this area; as _ <br />related to density cap; good goal, but don't believe any of <br />area surrounding Stoney Creek basin can be considered urban. <br />
