Name: Eliza Schmidt
Respondent ID: 114888901923
Q1: General Feedback: Do you feel the proposed zoning updates reflect the
needs of your community?
No / I am impressed and excited about more opportunities for housing and businesses - but
I do not think there is enough proposed in the current plan - I want to be sure that the HR
zone actually lends to the housing density that is needed. The minimum lot size of 20,000
seems far too large for HMU-1 and HR and disincentives people for breaking up lots and
further developing housing. I think we should create a larger district for Hamlet mixed
use/residential around the grocery store and around town center to allow for development
around areas where there is a need for workforce housing and a potential for creating
community centers.
