<br />I "h86 <br />~- Barriers to Urban Development <br />I Utilizing the UltiMUSA defined above, we analyzed the feasibility of extending the existing <br />I MUSA out to the UltiMUSA. This area of potential MUSA service between the existing MUSA <br /> and the UltiMUSA became the, 'study area' (Figure 3). First obstacles to the orderly extension <br />I of the current system into this study area were identified. Obstacles were defined as land uses <br /> that would remain undeveloped or would substantially add to the cost to extend municipal <br /> services through or around. The first obstacle identified was parks (Figure 4), next industrial and <br />I public lands "non-residential" (Figure 5), then wetlands (Figure 6), and finally large lots <br /> (Figure 7). The composite of all of these barriers is shown on Figure 8. <br />, STUDY AREA <br />I CATEGORY ACRES <br /> STUDY AREA 550,619 <br />I BARRlERS 260,554 <br /> DEVELOPABLE STUDY AREA . 290,064 <br />..
