Development Suitability Model
Analysis
-The light red regions on the map denote areas of high development suitability or in other words: areas that do not need extensive mitigation for development
-Areas that were identified as “high” in the Development Model are for the most part already developed. Look at Rt.2.
-Without mitigation, there is little natural land to development in the Lake George/Oaks Pond combined watershed; this is due to the general shallow soil layer, which inhibits the construction of septic systems and basements.
