Balance development and conservation interests. <br /> ➢ Conserve environmentally important areas within the study area. <br /> • Build on the recent efforts of the Cabarrus County Soil and Water Conservation District(CCSWCD)and <br /> NC Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)to identify important natural resources in the county. <br /> • Utilize the natural resource database and maps maintained by the County to educate developers and <br /> inform them of opportunities to protect the natural assets valued by the community and mitigate or <br /> minimize the impacts of development on the protected areas. <br /> • Consider amendments to the Town's UDO to incorporate provisions of the Model Ordinance <br /> resulting from the CCSWCD/NCWRC Partners for Green Growth Project. Such provisions should <br /> reward those who choose to develop using a conservation design approach. <br /> • To the extent practical,assist property owners who have expressed an interest in conserving land for natural <br /> resource protection purposes. Such land may be protected by a conservation easement,and may be suitable <br /> for the creation of a publicly accessible nature preserve adjoining the planned Mallard Creek Greenway. In <br /> addition to providing assistance with the establishment of an easement,the Town or the County may have <br /> an opportunity to facilitate the creation of a nature preserve. <br /> IM I <br /> a <br /> _ rr� <br /> i' <br /> w <br /> r,cT <br /> t � <br /> 341Morehead West Area Plan <br /> Attachment number 1 \n <br /> G-2 Page 176 <br />
