- Costs Compared to other physical barriers, plantings are less expensive. Overall, plantings are an extremely small portion of site development costs. Restricting Agricultural Activities within the Urban Service Area This alternative could include prohibiting aerial spraying, restricting the hours of aerial spraying, and regulating the location of irrigation pumps. Agricultural operations would assume the burden of providing this alternative. The justification for imposing these restrictions on agricultural uses would be that land in the Urban Service Area is intended for urban, rather than agricultural uses. A problem with this alternative involves the State of Florida's Right to Farm Act, Chapter 823.14, Florida Statutes. This provision of state law ensures that existing agricultural operations that conform to generally accepted agricultural and management practices may continue. One means of addressing this problem would be for the residential developer to pay for some or all of the additional costs incurred by the agricultural use. - Effectiveness All of the benefit of this method is received by the residential property. With respect to agricultural impacts on residential uses, this method effectively mitigates noise and spraying, and moderately mitigates odor. With respect to residential development's impact on agricultural uses, however, this method does nothing to reduce trespassing, vandalism, or caribbear. fruit fly host plants. - Costs The cost of this alternative cannot be reliably assessed, because costs depend upon site conditions. Costs could be minimal, if they relate only to enclosing a pump motor or restricting hours of spraying. In some cases, however, costs could be higher.

Although the argument could be made that each of the these alternatives could reduce property values, adding physical barriers is clearly the most defensible. That alternative does not actually restrict or limit the use of property. - - - While reviewing current planning literature on conflicts at agricultural/residential borders, staff determined that some jurisdictions use nuisance disclaimers. Similar to the county's existing avigation easement provisions for new residences being located near existing airports, nuisance disclaimers notify potential owners of non -agriculture property that abuts agricultural areas of possible adverse impacts associated with normal agricultural practices.
