Growth on the Island is managed to retain the Island’s historic and caring character, foster a sense of community and diversity, and preserve the natural forested and marine environment and ecosystems. Residential and commercial development is designed to be visually pleasing and integrated into the natural surroundings. The Island contains well planned public infrastructure and services to support a diversity of residents’ needs including safe walking areas, recreational opportunities, parks and open space, schools and a transportation system coordinated between the local ferry and regional mass transit. KETRON ISLAND VISION STATEMENT Ketron Island reflects a unique rural island character that promotes growth opportunities within the carrying capacity of the Island, while maintaining the integrity of the natural environment. Unique natural features such as sandy beaches, lagoons, wetlands, and ravine areas are preserved. Environmentally sound solutions are applied to provide facilities and services. A functional transportation system, including an enhanced marina facility and ferry service, supports all ages and accommodates future growth. And limited commercial services are available to meet the needs of tourists and Island residents. LAND USE AND ECONOMIC ELEMENT POLICIES GOAL The land use pattern on Anderson and Ketron Islands is intended to provide a rural ambiance highlighted by the natural attributes of the area, including the extensive marine shorelines, native forests, and large areas of open space. New land uses will reflect this rural environment emphasizing residential home sites on large lots, resource uses including working farms, and forestry practices. Commercial services for local residents will remain at a level conducive to the needs of Island residents. Encourage economic development that is responsive to the needs of the community.
