This map applies one or mare of several def ned wetland designations to each inventoried wetland in the study area. These amendments only involve the application of the "Planned Transportation Corridor" designation. This designation is applied to areas previously designated for restoration or protection to allow needed roadway improvements. Since these amendments only apply this designation to nonwbuildable areas ~i.e., wetlands designated for protection or restoration} and the designation only allows road improvements, they do not affect the buildable land inventory. Goal 1~Cit~zen Involvement Statewide Goa11 calls for local governments "to develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process." The planning and adoption process for these amendments has incorporated many opportunities for citizen involvement at all phases of the process as detailed below. l . This process began with a wetland inventory project in 1993, for which all affected property owners were contacted to obtain permission for the study to be conducted on their property.
