The purpose of the (P-160) Preservation Zone is to establish areas (or future areas) in the Town of Daniel where development may be limited due to the remoteness of services, topography, and other sensitive
environmental issues. Furthermore, the specific intent in establishing the (P-160) Preservation Zone is for the following purposes:
(1) Protect the present and future water supply of the Town of Daniel and surrounding areas;
(2) Protect natural features and sensitive environmental areas;
(3) Protect the Town of Daniel's grazing and forestry land;
(4) Avoid excessive costs for public services which result from excessive scattering of residential dwellings in remote areas;
(5) Prevent excessive soil erosion and water pollution;
(6) Promote the raising and keeping of domestic and wild animals and fowl in keeping with optimum intensity of use, consistent with recognized range management practices;
(7) Prevent the necessity of having to pay excessive taxes on grazing lands;
(8) Preserve and protect recreational opportunities;
(9) Allow residential development on a limited basis when services are not readily available but are appropriately addressed by the developer to the satisfaction of the Town of Daniel; and
(10) Residents of the proposed development would have essential services provided at a level that would not impact their health, safety, and welfare and to provide these services would not be fiscally irresponsible for the Town of Daniel.
