Amendment to reclassify approximately 26 acres of CL (Limited Business) and 54

Residential) and LA -1 (Low Density Residential) located at the northwest

of land use guiding for Harstad & Forbra d for approximately 26 acres of CL
(Limited Business) and 54 acres of LA -2 Low Medium Density) classified land
to LA -3 (High Medium Residential) and LA -1 (Low Density Residential) located
at the northwest corner of Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55, based on the
following findings:
1. The proposed guiding especially at the corner does not represent the
highest and best land use for this property.
2. Preservation of trees would likely be diminished with lower density
development versus the higher density residential now permitted which will
provide for clustering and open space.
3. The elimination of the commercial corner will have an adverse fiscal impact
on future residential development in the City which was recently analyzed
in detail for and by the City.
4. Access limitations to this area apply to any Land Use Guide Plan
classification and therefore do not serve as a basis for amending the
classifications as proposed.

Helliwell, Ricker and Vasiliou
