“The applicant is requesting to modify that through a comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use of the property from rural estate to urban estate. The city historically has used one of two findings of fact. either a mistake was made in the original comprehensive plan or times and conditions have changed. In this case, staff identifies that times and conditions have changed to warrant a a change in the comprehensive plan.”

“due to the close proximity to that well, it is highly advised that additional private water wells not be permitted. And again, under the existing zoning and land use, that would require private well and septic versus connection to the city sewer and water.”

“my concern was this. Um I know that when we have a lot of uh walkers from the schools, um these these roads tend to get bottlenecked up and I'm guessing this is not going to What's the width of the road? 26 feet. Yeah. Very skinny roads. And a lot of times parents have a habit of parking and having kids walk so they don't get caught in the school traffic and it creates a bottleneck for and a safety issue for pedestrians and especially these kids coming from elementary school.”

“it is a it is a restriction. You're correct. Uh what we've seen on our past projects it has been a deed restriction but it will be a requirement to live there um for the entirety of the project.”

“I'm a it's not for us the project we're going to on its face. I'll just say this just to say this is that I'm a little disappointed that it is 55 plus targeted.
