The property contains 38.123 acres. Lots will average 1/2 acres each, the total density 1 unit per 5 acres. The larger part of the development will remain the farm area. Moved by MINOW and seconded by WALKER to recommend approval of this transmittal. The ambiguous language of the Comprehensive Plan does need to be clarified. This approach to high density housing is a better approach, when the services become available there will be less distance to cover to provide the services, it provides open areas between the development which will remain a prime agricultural use. The concept makes this project better than 5 acre parcels one after another, from a land use standpoint. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
