   negative impact on the overall health of the
   ecosystems of the area if developed. These
   ares mainly need protection and they
   present great opportunities for possible
   conservation land.
     With the areas of high limitation slated
  for conservation land, the areas of low
  limitations can then serve as buffers in some
  places or act as vital links in others.
     Overall, it needs to be understood that
  these systems work together and therefore
  should be read together. At a more detailed
  development scale these elements would
  need to be considered in light of their
  individual functions.
     The town of McIntosh has some very
  good opportunities at this point in their
  current development to really capture and
  preserve their environment as a whole

before future unplanned development
begins to fragment these systems that have
been maintained thus far.


* The town of McIntosh and its residents are
currently presented with a great challenge to
both develop and preserve their unique
environment and its numerous natural
resources.
* Land-uses and planned future
development should be sensitive to these
environmental limitations when attempting
to maintain McIntosh's sense of place and
inherent quality of life.
