BUCKEYE RANCH - PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE 4 Inconsistent uses have been defined. They include, but are not limited to: A. The conversion of native vegetation to new exotic cover species and/or the introduction of non-native plant or animal species. B. Hunting or trapping (except for limited rodent and feral animal control). C. The use of all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, or other motorized vehicles off of roads or travelways.

It will also provide for the monitoring of uses of the property and enforcement of the conservation easement including the restoration of portions of the Property.

Initial access to the homes will be provided through gated entrances from Forest Lake Road.

The bridge would enable the Owner to transport excavation material from Tracy Lake for use for the Department of Water Resources New Hope Reclamation District Hazard Mitigation project and provide a second gated access route to the property. It is also contemplated that, with the cooperation of adjoining landowners on the north side of Forest Lake road, an application to the County to abandon that portion of Forest Lake Road which abuts the subject property would also be pursued. If the application were approved, security
