<br />, <br /> <br />IV-2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1. The Roaring Fork River forms a very real natural barrier <br />to development. <br /> <br /> <br />2. The majority of property owners on the southwest side of the <br /> <br /> <br />Roaring Fork River, including Leroy Waterman, Emil Grange, <br /> <br /> <br />and Reno Cerise, have expressed a very clear desire to pre- <br /> <br /> <br />serve their land in agricultural and rural residential use, <br /> <br /> <br />and do not wish to be included within the Town of Basalt. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Elevation 7,000 is the highest that could economically <br /> <br /> <br />receive water service. The elevation between 6,800 and <br /> <br />7,000 will still require a new pressure zone. <br /> <br />4. The western boundary represents the lowest area serviceable <br /> <br />by the existing Basalt Sanitation District. <br /> <br />This ultimate town area completely surrounds the existing Town of <br /> <br />Basalt and contains approximately 1,100 acres. The terrain within the <br /> <br />projected boundaries varies from rugged high country covered with <br /> <br /> <br />juniper and sagebrush just north of the existing Town boundary to high <br /> <br /> <br />meadows, gently sloping from west to east, south of the Town. Both <br /> <br /> <br />areas are suitable for residential and general building construction. <br /> <br />Density calculations for the ultimate Town were made according to general <br /> <br /> <br />planning guidelines. Only about two-thirds of the 1,100 acres will <br /> <br /> <br />probably be developed since some of this area will be unbuildable and <br /> <br />some will be taken up by roads, schools, parks, etc., leaving 733 acres <br /> <br />/~, <br /> <br />: <br />
