Mr. Nielsen explained <br />what was proposed for each of the actual planning districts and answered questions and <br />comments on each of the districts. He then asked for general questions on the <br />proposed Plan. <br />The Planning Districts that were subject to discussion were Districts 9, 10, <br />14, 15, 21, 22, 23, and 24. <br />District 9 - Citizens were concerned with the minimum lot size requirements <br />that would be set in District 9. The planner has recommended <br />smaller lots, and citizens were concerned that this was not in <br />keeping with the rural type of community that they were after. <br />One citizen expressed his disapproval of townhouses in the area. <br />Citizens felt that by making District 9 a mid - density area with <br />more people in the area, the more services that would be needed. <br />This would cost homeowners more money. Mr. Nielsen stated that <br />by providing services to smaller lots, these services were sometimes <br />more economical than providing these services to larger lots. <br />One citizen asked if the number of smaller lots in this district <br />increased, would that cause the taxes on the larger lots to go up. <br />Mr. Nielsen stated that it could cause the taxes to go down. <br />023 <br />
