HomeMy WebLinkAboutA013 - Memo from Shery Dragula, support for Village Residential To: Brian P. O'Connell, Dept. of Planning and Housing
From: Sherry Dragula, 2121 Burnett Ave,Ames, IA 50010
Date: July 30, 1998
Subject: Village Residential as Base Zone
I am writing to express my support for Village Residential being the base zone or the
preferred model for new development. I view Village Residential as superior to suburban
residential because it encourages a mix of housing types, incorporates appropriate
commercial development within walking distance of where people will live,provides for
open space while using less acres overall, and creates a built environment where a sense of
neighborhood and community are more easily established. Please retain this part of the
new Land Use Policy Plan.
