Duke Forest was identified as the primary area to <br />protect from development impact. _Stoney Creek, particularly the wildlife corridor, was also <br />identified as having high priority for protection. Other areas which were identified were the <br />New Hope Church property, proposed scenic road corridors, a stand of chestnut oaks, and <br />existing farmland and neighborhoods. <br />Gene Bell indicated that another subcommittee could be created to focus on implementation. <br />Curtis Bane requested that consideration be given to assuring that the children who will inherit <br />this land can afford to live here. This needs to be included in the list of issues to be discussed. <br />Clint Burklin mentioned that they discussed the goals and vision and tabled the issue-of _ <br />implementation. They attempted to visually put the goals on the map. He requested feedback <br />from the group regarding whether the map represented achievable and desirable goals for the <br />area. The implementation phase will involve establishing guidelines for making the goals <br />voluntary while preserving values and property rights. <br />1 <br />
