The questionnaire is a first step in <br /> the process of trying to determine how property owners In the <br /> 1 -40 corridor feel about a variety of land use issues . 1 ,866 <br /> individual properties have been identified as lying the 1 -40 <br /> corridor. 407 multiple property owners have been deleted which <br /> leaves 1 ,459 owners who will receive questionnaires . <br /> IMPACT: The questionnaire will provide a means for direct involvement <br /> of property owners in the study area as well as notifying them <br /> that the study is being conducted . A concern often expressed <br /> by citizens at public meetings and hearings is that they didn 't <br /> know about the planning effort or had no chance for involve,- <br /> ment. It is hoped the questionnaire will address both of these <br /> concerns . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Board approval of the questionnaire with any changes or <br /> corrections deemed necessary. <br />
