These areas are designated as Site <br />[, Site 2 and the continuous trail corridor on the MN?iL* opportunity map illustrated <br />in Figure XI-6. <br /> <br />Site i features significant woodlands that provide natural habitat. This area is <br />adjacent to residential properties on the south and agriculture property on the north, <br />which will likely succamb to urban development in the distant future. This site should <br />be preserved through private sector actions. This could be done through such means <br />as transfer of development rights where density is transferrsd to the more developable <br />property, to the north and east, purchase of development rights, or conservation <br />easement purchase. Acquisition by the public should be a last priority for protection <br />of Site I. <br /> <br />Site.:" features some lands that are protected by the floodplain ordinance, some lands <br />protected through wetlands regulations and some lands that are not protected at all. <br />Site 2 is a more significant piece of land because of its river t>ontage. Public <br />Acquisition would appear to be the priori~ for protection of this site because <br />floodplain ordinances mav still pe~it ce~xain development activiw.
