MASTER PLAN 1996 Hap
P. 3 The Master Plan is composed of three major components -- The Text, the Master
Plan Map, and Goals and Objectives. All three of these components are equally
important and must be equally weighed. To adequately interpret and implement
the Plan, all three must be consulted for insight and direction.
P. 4 Master Plan Goals are very long range statements about the future of a
community --they give direction.
P. 4 Master Plan Objectives are shorter range and provide the basic steps to achieve
goals.
P. 6 Environment Goal -- AIR, WATER, OPEN SPACE AND SCENIC VISTAS
UNHINDERED BY POLLUTION, BLIGHT OR OTHER DEGRADING
FACTORS
P. 6 Environment Policed) Develop a citywide drainage plan which would mitigate
harmful water pollution effects and reduce damage created by storm and surface
water runoff.
P. 6 Environment Policy 3(e) Identify areas of high groundwater or otherwise not
conducive to individual on -site sewage disposal and restrict development until
central or public sewer systems are available.
P: 19 Environmental Considerations in the master plan -- soils, agriculturally productive
lands, topography and floodplain.
P. 19 Intention of identifying broad planning objectives
P. 19 SOILS: ... the existence of certain types of soils renders some areas unsuitable
for urban development because of one or more of the following properties:.. .
high water table
However, although soils may be unfavorable for development, most of the
disadvantages could be overcome through engineering techniques ...
P. 21 Figure 6 (Map showing "Growth Deterrents" --Flood Plain; Unfavorable Soil;
Steep Slopes) shows that there is NO UNFAVORABLE SOIL on the Wolford
site
P. 24 Figure 6 does present a definitive pattern where the cumulative effects of steep
slopes, poor soils and floodplains effectively prohibit economical development.
