2. Appendix A which contains the record of results of the surveys;
3. Appendix B and Appendix C which contain the record of the Public Participation which formed the basis of the Plan (copies of these Appendices can be found in the Planning Department);
4. Appendix D which contains a complete Parks, Recreation and Open space Plan;
5. Appendix E which contains an expanded Economic Diversification Plan; and.
6. Appendix F which contains the St. Helena Corners Area Community Preservation Plan.
