He indicated the Comprehensive Plan was meant to <br />go to 2020, acd h~ is against amending it 18 years out. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson ~tat~ <br /> · <br /> <br /> · <br /> <br /> there are three characteristics of the property that lends itself to rezoning. <br />A power line and power line easement; <br />B~king up to Alpine Drive; <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 5, 2003 <br /> Page 11 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
