MUSA line. Because my land will eventually be crossed by an arterial street from the bridge to U.S. #10, the property will have to be developed to uses (adjacent to the arterial) which will not be devalued by the traffic on the arterial, such as multiple dwellings or commercial businesses. It is reasonable to conclude that some of this development should take place prior to a bridge crossing. In order to have this development, I must have water and sewer. While I realize that this all may not happen in the next five years, to exclude my property from the ultimate MUSA line is to make all this desirable development impossible and to postpone it to the year 2000 is to postpone the development of the property past the time when the market would normally demand that it's development begin. I am aware that if the Council does not include my land within the 2000 year MUSA line, a claim can be made that it does not have the value that it might otherwise have had. This distresses me greatly, in the light of the county's overtures to buy the property. While it is not my intention to sell to the county, I cannot prevent acquisition by condemnation. Should this happen against my wishes, my exclusion from the MUSA line may deprive me of just compensation. You have my land colored in green, along with the Mississippi West Park, indicating its use as a park. Since this designation is not done pursuant to an official position by the City Council, I respectfully request that the city maps be corrected to remove this designation from my land."
