Georgann Eubanks: Hogan Lake Rezoning Summation 4 <br /> further determination of the interests of the public need ever be made <br /> before the maximum 574 housing units are built. <br /> Because our objections to this rezoning have met anger and <br /> aspersion, let me emphasize again that we are not attacking the <br /> motivation or the integrity of the Hogans. Nor are we attacking any <br /> proposed pla. i for Lake Hogan Farms, which must remain outside <br /> discussion in this rezoning. Rather, we are asking that you consider <br /> this rezoning under the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and <br /> that you reject it because the applicants have failed to show, through <br /> relevant, solid facts in the public record, that it will not impede the <br /> general health, safety and welfare. <br /> We are not opposed to development. In asking you to deny the <br /> applicants' request, we are not asking you to stop development of <br /> these parcels, and we are not asking you to reject the Lake Hogan <br /> Farms plan. We support a full and open discussion of the Hogans' <br /> concept after a resubmission of this proposal under PUP zoning, <br /> instead of the arbitrary R-R R-20 districts. And we truly hope that, <br /> in a full and open discussion of the applicants' real plans, a <br /> neighborly spirit of communication and compromise will replace the <br /> misunderstanding, distrust and ugliness that has hurt all of us this <br /> time around. <br />
