The comparison shows the decrease in agricultural land and the increase in the number of homes. Crop land has fallen out of production and evolved to pasture-brush, which in turn has reverted to forest. The Existing Parking Area number of homes increased from thirteen to forty-eight. (See the Land Use Comparison Table for details.) Although the density of residential development nearby the Reining Property remains relatively low, potential exists for conflicts between the neighborhood and any uses which involve noise, significant increases in traffic, and similar nuisances. Access and Parking Access to the existing parking area is from the Owego Turnpike on the east side of Collins Brook. The Owego Turnpike is a well distance looking west on the Owego Turnpike maintained state road, and although the is far better than looking to the east. Any moderate grades and sharp turns limit its improvement to the site involving significant capacity, traffic congestion is not an issue. traffic increases or a larger class of vehicle, The parking area is hard surfaced and can buses for example, will require a highway accommodate about twenty cars. Sight occupancy permit from PennDOT. If the Reining Pond Master Site Plan 04-05 Section III – Site Information and Analysis Page III-4 access is moved to another location, perhaps to Prompton Road, a PennDOT permit will also be required. Access to the parts of the property not directly adjacent to the Owego Turnpike and Prompton Road is difficult given steep slopes and the intervening wetland. No well defined trails or old woods roads are found on the site. Buildings and Structures No buildings are found on the property and the only structure is the breached dam. Sight Distance Looking East Situated less than 100 feet from the Owego Turnpike, the concrete structure has not been an issue in terms of safety or conflict with the use of the property, but it may be an issue if more intensive use of the property is planned. A new dam would, of course, involve the removal of the remnants, but this may also be required if environmental education is a component of the future use of the property. Historic Resources No known significant historical or archeological resources are found on the site.
