We have reache~ the point where developable Land ~n the Anchorage Bo~w]~_~scarse~,/~mk]n~it ~t~v~hat suitable undeveloped parcels be used to(J~Ller9greates~tenial~Fh~--P~zon~ng of this property to R2 would maximize the Land usage anU-wo~ld st~ll retain the residential concept of the area. The development costs of the subdivision would be d~v~ded among a greater number of parcels,thus providing more housing at a more~f6rdable price rate. Note B Approximately half of the petitioned area~c~ns~t~ of a borrow p~t. x~ A rezonlng of this area to R2 would make the development of the pit~esYable. Th~s development would remove a community eye-sore and enhance the prbperty values throughout the entire area. Note C · ~ The~r~lqm~nary concept for the development of the petitioned area prowdes s~in~le family and "0" Lot Line parcels. Open spaces~,small parks and public areas, and a small lake for recreational purposes are~incorporated in the design. Access to the subdivision is to be provided at three points. The foundation material for the entire area ~s excellent. The mater~al from the p~t area has been used to develop a major port~on of the Anchorage Bowl. The borrow pit in the petitioned area ~s to be r6countobred ~n a manner that would create a staggered roofllne effect. This ple~ent, departure from row-housing so often seen in development projects. Minimal clearing ~s proposed in the wooded section %o~t~e west of the pit area, thus preserwng the natural habitat as much as pg§siab/~e. The proposed zoning change in th~s area to R2 would conform to the residential status of the community. It would provide for a wider range of housing options ~n the neighborhood, and the development would enhance and protect the natural beauty of the area. A zoning change would help leviate the current housing need in the Anchorage Bowl. ~
