  traverses from Orange Lake to the other
  side of town, with anchoring recreational
  parks at the end of two primary
  conservation areas. This proposed
  green way would create new connections for
  both humans and wildlife alike.

     Along this new corridor, plentiful open
  spaces would further extend connectivity
  and would be placed to terminate views
  from the automobile, leaving drivers with a
  rural feeling of vastness. These open spaces
  would also stand to reinforce the agrarian
  culture that McIntosh was founded upon.

     With McIntosh being located in such
  close proximity to Orange Lake, this plan
  will protect the quality of both the water
  and the wildlife in and around the lake. A

Thisgreen way system also reinforces the relocation of
both the civil eleml. Residential growth is limiteducational
faciltes of this plan due to the amount of land
commercial zone on US Hwy 441. A town



proposed that forms a conservation with these civic
and educational elements to the new
green way system also reinforces the small
town feel. Residential growth is limited
greatly in this plan due to the amount of land
proposed for conservation.

   By incorporating McIntosh's surrounding
lands into these conservation areas, the
existing boundaries of the town would
maintain a crisp edge, thereby preventing
unwanted sprawl.

Cons:

*Necessary relocation of businesses.
*The school and civic areas would blend with
proposed retail along Hwy 441.
*Retail area separated from the main
intersection of the town.
*Voluntary restrictions placed on landowners
within new conservation corridors.
*Offers limited residential development.
*Does not slow traffic effectively.
*Makes no attempt to reconnect currently
fragmented neighborhoods within the town.
