DRAFT

1. Protect the mission & operational needs of the Military.

2. Provide a simple user friendly Plan.

3. Provide property owners with a number of options to use their land or receive fair compensation.

4. Protect future property owners from known factors that may impact their quality of life (i.e. potential for noise, potential for aircraft crashes, & low flying aircraft by added building code & development standards, noise disclosure statement, and location outside of potential crash zones).

5. Protect endangered species, flora & fauna, and the long leaf pine eco-system.

6. Keep as much property as possible on the County Tax Records.
