recreational facilities. It offers increased opportunities
for flexible land use and design regulations designed to
satisfy Wappinger's residential and non-residential needs,
at a pace and balance commensurate with the general rate of
Town growth and in a manner consistent with the environmental
capabilities of individual sites to support such residential
and non-residential uses, all in furtherance of the basic
policies and objectives as set forth in the adopted Town
Development Plan.
425.2 Objectives
The establishment of a Planned Unit Development District will
be to further encourage the following subjectives:
425.21 The establishment of areas in which diverse uses may
be brought together as a part of a compatible and
unified plan of development which shall be in the
interest of the general welfare of the Town;
425.22 An environment of stable character in harmony with
surrounding development, and a more desirable en-
vironment than would be possible through the strict
application of other Sections of this Ordinance;

physical development; ESPECIALLY OF LARGE TRACTS
CLOSE TO GROWTH CENTERS AND MAJOR TRANSPPORTATIO~
CORRIDORS IN THE TOWN
