The Richmond League of Woman Voters believes that good steward,

soil resources in the area surrounding the Richmond Munioipal kirporia
This land is extremely productive -with very 1.:i.ttle tendency for wosion.
Much of this land might be designated prime aLTicultural land. if Wayne
County had such a sorting category. We believe that 'Payne County citizens
place great value on highly productive farm land for present and future.
food production, and that as much of this land as possible; should be pro-

The League also recognizes that an important swan -made resource, the
Richmond Municipal Airport, was built in the midst of this prime agri-
cultural area.many years ago. That airport i.q now important to a healthy

We are certain that the`Plan Commissioners are aware that business
development on Richmond Municipal. Airport property, will probably result in
pressures for secondary land uses. and services which would take further

If the requested reaonings are approved, we wou3,d sixpport the onviron-

PLANNING DIRE -
The Rictrnond City Plan Ccr=ission held a public hearing on Tuesday,
,lime 26. l979, on its am initiative to consider an amendment to
the official caning map, being a part of Ordinance No, 2325-1968.
The proposed amendment will rezone approximately 370 acres frm
R-1 Single Family Residence District to Rr 2 Single Family Residence
District. The subject land is Located in the two-mile fringe juris-
dictional area in Wayne and Center TIamships and is generally bounded
by Round Ba= Road South on the west, Test Road on the south, Salisbury
Road an the east and U.S.40 West on the north (a map of the designated
area is attached).
One-hu fired fifty (150) notices of public hearing were sent to pro-
perty owners in the area. Two (2) were returned in favor of the re-
zoning and eleven (11) were returned in opposition. 'ice (2) remon—
strators spoke in opposition to .the request at the public hearing and..
one (1) person spoke in favor of the request.
During the public hearing, the Plan Cand-9sion determined that the
R-1 zoning classification of the subject area, requiring a mini
lot size of 12,000 square feet, acts to inhibit new subdivision growth
by limiting the fle�dbility a developer has in platting new subdivisions
and also increases the develapmeat costs per lot so. that it would not
be ecor mically feasible to plat new subdivisions, construct new roads,
and extend water and severer liness in the area. The proposed- R 2 zoning
classification for they area in question would be in confarnrance with
the Master Plan, and would encourage residential development that is
desirable and highly suited for this particular area.
