INCOMPAT~BLE ADJACENT LAND USES IN THE ~P PR~ECT APEA <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />The WEP would not have any major impacts on land uses in the project area. In general, it is <br />compatible with adjacent uses. This is due to several factors: <br /> <br />Many of the adjacent lands are currently owned by ODOT <br />Adjacent lands are in the process of being purchased by ODOT and the BLM for wetland <br />mitigation and preservation purposes <br />The remaining adjacent properties are primarily single farnily residential with unused land or <br />small hobby farms~ <br /> <br />Lands within project right-of-way are either vacant, unused by property owners, or used to grow hay <br />crops, which is considered a ~ow-value agricultural use. The three large scale farm operations in the <br />project area would not be negatively impacted by the project. <br /> <br />One Final Note: <br />A few property owners were concerned about losing ~and and/or rural character of the area (Lc., visua~ changes, increase in <br />traffic noise). However, the majority of property owners viewed WEP as very positive. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT C-3 -FINDINGS 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
