surrounding landscape.
2. The camp experience contributes to Rural Areas goals
by heightening awareness and understanding of
agricultural processes and natural resources.
3. Farming and forestry activities will continue at the
current levels on the subject parcels.
4. The expanded accessory building size would not be
visible from adjacent properties and would not intensify
