<br />In terms of future development, there are currently no subdivided parcels in the proposed project area. (N. <br />Carver 2006) Properties are zoned as A35 in the Goodman Point area. A-35 allows land owners to constmct <br />a residence(s) solely for the land owner. Seven existing residences within the area have chosen not to be <br />involved in the project. However, these residences may choose to purchase a tap in the future which would <br />provide water to 19 residents currently residing in these homes. <br /> <br />A majority of the land disturbance will be within the county right of way including the road or roadside ditch, <br />or immediately adjacent to the county right-of-way, all previously disturbed during prior road constmction. <br />Disturbance would be limited to the width of a backhoe as well as to equipment traffic within the right of way. <br />Additional ground disturbance will occur on private property in an effort to avoid archaeological sites that are <br />in the county road right of way. This disturbance is proposed in existing cultivated agricultural fields and will <br />not remove any important farmland or prime rangeland from production because all water lines will be buried <br />at a depth of four feet according to industry standards. Constmction of the water line can be conducted during <br />the non-growing season if requested by the proj ect proponent or land owner. <br /> <br /> <br />~-~ <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />- - <br />-- <br /> <br />-":'" <br /> <br />." - <br /> <br />Figure 4.
