There is a 75% <br />hard surface drainage to the north. Some measure should be <br />provided to retain water and release at a slower rate. Tlie <br />wetland is natural for this. About 25% of hard cover drains <br />to tlie south. Soil seems to be suitable for building, <br />f.r.

Highway 12 and County Road 6. Tlie main entry would <br />be Old Crystal Bay Pc^ad and County Road 6 witli the secondary <br />entry at Homestead Trail. Specialty crops best suited to <br />this wet type soil would be grown. Open water area would be <br />fenced in and trails (walking, etc.) would be developed. <br />HENI'EPE'l COUI'ITY VO-TECH <br />PROPOSAL <br />SITE PLAl'l APPROVAL
