Change: Plan Trend Alternative |
|
The Plan-Trend Alternative continues the development practices currently used in the County and is guided by the 'Monroe County Comprehensive Plan.' Residential development in this alternative follows the same patterns of broadly dispersed low density housing that have been characteristic of the last decade. In this alternative, all land that can be developed will be developed, primarily in the R-1, or low density zoning type, as shown in yellow on the plan. Higher densities are allocated to land within prior Township Sewer plans.

The 'Landscape Design' follows the assumes that only what is currently Comprehensive Plan document and publicly owned or regulated by Conservation 'A' will be conserved. This area appears in green on the Landscape Design, and in its vegetation cover color on the 'Plan-Trend Alternative' land use map. The 'Infrastructure Design' assumes that only Townships which have already proposed sewer plans will implement waste water management infrastructure improvements that the existing railroad alignment will be utilized, and there will be no major road improvements. The 'Plan-Trend Landscape Impacts' map shows the geologic, biologic, and visual impacts associated with this alternative. |
