I support the following SMP
Final Draft Land Use Classifications & accompanying maps, and do strongly
urge the GRDA Board of Directors and FERC to accept and implement the
following:
A.
Use of the term “Stewardship Areas”,
which include palustrine wetlands, islands,
sensitive habitat, state & federally protected wildlife areas, cultural &
aesthetic features. Stewardship Areas now account for 26.27% of Grand Lake
on the Final SMP Maps.
B. The term
“Responsible Growth” which constitutes 71.98% of the Final Draft SMP Maps,
contains existing residential and/or commercial use, and limited or
undeveloped areas. These areas are available for uses detailed in the
Commercial & Residential Allowable Uses Categories of the new Final Draft.
There are guidelines. This will allow for more responsible growth in the
future, and allow the GRDA Board of Directors to supervise such growth
without locking out future uses with a broad stroke of the pen today.
