Memo To: From.' GC: Date: Re-' Board of County Commissioners Rodger Lentz, Planning Manager 06/09/03 Eastern Area Plan The Eastern Area Plan is back on the agenda for your June meeting. Attached, staff has prepared two Future Land Use Maps for your consideration. The map labeled Option One is the Future Land Use scenario presented at the public meeting held at Mount Pleasant High School. It maintains the proposed open space/agricultural preservation district over the entire area not planned for utility service under the WSACC 50 Year Master Plan. This district would reduce permitted residential density to 1 unit per acre for the first 5 residential units, 1 unit per 2.5 acres for the next two residential units with the remaining units permitted at 1 unit per 5 acres. The map labeled Option Two was created by staff based on comments received at the April Board of Commissioners meeting. This option removes the Georgeville Community from the proposed open space/agricultural preservation district. Under this option density in the Georgeville area would remain at 1 unit per acre. Under both options, the extension of utility lines to areas with poor water quality or failing septic tanks is encouraged and supported. Development of neighborhood service centers at key intersections and at traditional crossroad communities is also encouraged. Since the Georgeville community meeting held in May, staff has sent out a follow up questionnaire. Staff sent the questionnaire to the 65 participants who signed the sign-in sheet at the May Georgeville meeting. The questionnaire asked if residents agreed w~th the proposed reduction in density. The results are as follows: Question: Do you agree with the reduction of density as proposed? No = 10 responses Yes = 13 responses Other = 1 response · Page 1
