This is a map of the
properties found in the watershed. It is hard to predict exactly where
development is going to occur, so I will discuss some examples that show
characteristics which could either promote or hinder development.

On this map, green areas
are land only, yellow areas are commercial properties, and orange and blue
areas are private properties. Roads are white.

Click 1: Road access and
large lot size. Likely to be developed
|
|
Click 2: Large enough
lots to develop, but there is no road access. Not likely to be developed
soon because a road would need to be built first.
|
|
Click 3: These lots
cannot be developed because they are protected land
|
|
Click 4: These lots
cannot be developed as they currently exist because they do not meet the 2
acre minimum lot size requirement. Before they can be developed they would
have to be combined in order to make the 2 acre minimum.
|
|
Click 5: This is large
enough to be developed, it has road access, and it is fairly close to the
lake. For these three reasons, this lot is likely to be developed in the
next 25 years.

Although some development
could happen near Pattee Pond, there are only a few lots available for
development. This is good for water quality because shoreline homes have a
greater impact on water quality because nutrients in the runoff from houses
is not adequately filtered before reaching the water.
