Correction:

1) No development, acquire more land to further protect the AT. This would
protect 2,860 acres from development.

2) Minimal development, acquire less land. This would protect 893 acres from
development.

3) Major development, acquire no land. Effectively gives up an additional
660 acres to development that cannot be developed now.

4) "Optimal" development, would protect 784 acres but allow development
within the saddle - visible from the AT.

5) Do Nothing.
