Re: Comprehensive Plan Update
As you give consideration to the approval or recommendations to the Comprehensive Plan
Update tonight, I would like to offer these reasons in support of approving the document as
recommended by the Plan Commission.
1) The Update provides an improved thoroughfare and traffic plan,with current statistics
and information, and is compatible with the Hamilton County Plan allowing DOCD,
Plan Commission, BZA to require needed right-of-way with development.
2) The Update eliminates "transition" areas that are present in the current document,
helping to clarify possible uses of sensitive areas.
3) The document studied existing land uses and used this data to formulate the future land
use designations and guidelines.
4) The Update, both in the text and on maps, outlines green space and special
opportunity corridors designed for the protection and preservation of such areas for
the future.
5) The document incorporates the recommendations of the 116th Street Task Force as
part of the thoroughfare plan.
6) The Update indicates three potential areas for possible definitive traffic analysis,96th
and Westfield, 131st and Meridian and 146th and Meridian.
7) The Update provides a guideline to reduce allowed density in the "low density
residential" areas of Clay Township, primarily the area west of Spring Mill Road.
8) The proposed update is more in keeping with public testimony and survey results
concerning density, traffic and land use than the present document.
