Case Plumber 64-2
Petitioner: Arizona Land Corporation
Location: Worth Hillcrest Court Post of Co. Rd. 4
Request: Change the Zone P. Ca C. to Rdl
Staff Findings
(1) The P.O.C. " Public, Open Development and Conservation and Recreation"
District appears to have been established in those areas where land is low
.or provides a drainage way. Certain uses are permitted, one being a house
when related to a farm.
(2) Preservation of the natural drainage patters is one of the most important
utilities which a developing Village should undertake o "the estcablisliment
of park-drainage ways .and ponding areas not only takes care of storm drainagefl
but it permits developers to know what land is expected to develop and the
Village to ,fudge propose plans for continuity.
(3) Land which is difficult or expensive to develop under today's market
and utility conditions, is not necessarily unleveldable. All of the land
is subject to development with only-that being reserved for public use
as owned by some level of goverment.
• (4) Hillerest Court Development is designed with certain land areas being
considered as unbu ldable, thus, no access is provided. if out lot three
is logically a part of the Village's paer. drainage system and the land to
the north has an access solution, the zoning might be reasonable. However,
considering the known data and policies it is premature to change the zone.
Request could be tabled pending drainage plan.
