Planning Considerations <br /> Land Use Plan Consistency. This rezoning and lotting is not in conformance with the <br /> Town's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (July 1993). In order to recommend approval of this <br /> request, six questions must be addressed: <br /> Is the proposed amendment correcting an oversight or an error in the original plan? <br /> Has a change occured in the land development market, or have other factors arisen which justify a new <br /> forme or type of development? <br /> Has a new environmental protection method been found to be more effective? <br /> Has a change occured beyond the borders of the town that have caused travel and transportation patterns to <br /> change? <br /> Has the community's desires changed? <br /> Is the Public's health, safety and welfare preserved by the proposed change? <br /> Though this parcel is not in the SP-ETZ area the general standards for review are non-the-less <br /> appropriate.

The request was denied for non-compliance <br /> with the Town's Plan. This request proposes a lot for the farmstead and 2 lots for sale to the <br /> farmer that currently leases the tillable acreage. <br /> Previous Town actions have only considered the creation of sub-35 acre parcels in the Plan's <br /> Ag Preservation Area when: <br />
