Not all of the lands <br /> classified as "agriculture" is well suited for that purpose. <br /> • Section 23-23(b) 3 and 4 concerning gated or limited entry and a 3,500 sq. ft. dwelling needs further <br /> explanation on why these restrictions are there. What is really needed is the assurance that farming <br /> activities (need to define) will occur on the parcel. <br /> • Section 23-23 (c) Is there a need to define "sufficient water will be available to support agricultural <br /> operations"? <br /> <br /> As mentioned, these are my thoughts. Haven't had the opportunities to get others to give me their comments. <br /> Ken <br /> Gomm. No. Z~ <br /> Ref. 70; r <br /> f?~f. `JOfia 2~ <br /> 6/!4/05 <br /> <br />
