WENDY LANCASTER OF THE PLANNING STAFF STATED THAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 60 ACRES IN SIZE AND IS LOCATED NORTH OF S.R. 60 EAST OF 74TH AVENUE. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO EXTEND DEVELOPMENT OF VILLAGE GREEN MOBILE HOME PARK TO THE WEST. THIS PROPERTY IS PRESENTLY IN GROVES. THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AUTHORIZED ADVER- TISEMENT OF A 6' STRIP LYING BETWEEN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE PARK TO BE INCLUDED FOR PUBLIC HEARING. THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA TO BE AGRICULTURAL BORDERING ON MEDIUM DENSITY. THIS PROPERTY IS CONTIGUOUS WITH R -IMP, MISS LANCASTER CONTINUED THAT SITE PLAN APPROVAL WAS GIVEN FOR AN ADDITIONAL 181 LOTS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON THE 40 ACRES NORTH OF WALKER AVENUE. THE ALLOWED DENSITY IS 8.7 PER ACRE. SHE STATED THAT THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED QUALITY DEVELOPMENT; THE APPLICATION IS IN ORDER; AND THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. SHE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION CAME UP WITH A TIE VOTE. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER EXPLAINED THAT THE SPLIT WAS CAUSED BY A DISCUSSION OVER THE USE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND. ATTORNEY CORDON JOHNSTON MADE THE PRESENTATION FOR VILLAGE GREEN NOTING THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY A. M. HILL AND IS NOW OWNED BY CARDINAL GROVES. HE STATED THAT VILLAGE GREEN IS A VERY NICE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY, NOT A TRANSIENT TYPE DEVELOPMENT, AND THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONING. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE PLAN USED IN THE INITIAL PHASE OF THE VILLAGE GREEN DEVELOPMENT CONTAINS MANY AMENITIES THAT THE USUAL MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY DOES NOT HAVE, AS WILL THE PROPOSED EXTENSION. ATTORNEY JOHNSTON CONTINUED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE SINGLE WIDE SALES IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND THE UNITS RANGE IN PRICE FROM $28,000 TO $48,000. HE NOTED THAT THE NEED FOR THIS TYPE DEVELOP- MENT IN THE COUNTY IS WELL KNOWN, ATTORNEY JOHNSTON CONTINUED THAT GOOD ZONING DICTATES THAT REZONING SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH AREA AND CON- TIGUOUS AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE ONLY OBJECTION RAISED AT THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING WAS THAT AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED ANY MORE IN THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THE COUNTY. ATTORNEY JOHNSTON POINTED OUT THAT THIS GROVE IS PROBABLY 60 YEARS OLD OR MORE AND NON -PRODUCING. AUG 8 1979 65 Bou 41 FAGUE 308.,1
