Soil problems may limit development—associated cost of mitigation <br /> L. Failure to extend vision beyond Section 9 <br /> II. What are the three most positive aspects related to the development or <br /> redevelopment of properties within the study area? <br /> A. Potential for increased property values and increased tax base <br /> B. The 2 existing signalized intersections provide controlled access points <br /> C. Potential to create high quality service center that provides community and sub- <br /> regional services <br /> D. Will unite community <br /> E. Creates positive or improved city image <br /> F.
