EXHIBIT <br />CMPrirtJB. I^ind Uk Plan <br />L <br />Future developmcut must enhance the community. Land <br />development should respect and enhance neighboring <br />properties and existing developed character of the <br />neighborhood and the City, preserving the value of the land <br />and the integrity, stability ond beauty of the community. <br />Future dcvcioprocut must enhance the environment. Land <br />development should respect and enhance the unique natural <br />features of the site and the general environmental assets of the <br />community. Preservation of natural views, vegetation, <br />drainage and general respect for unique site features always <br />produces more aesthetic results and lasting value for the <br />property owner and the community than does wholesale <br />alteration of the landscape or matitcmalical division to the <br />highest possible density. <br />Physical improvcmcnia required to accommodate new <br />development must be provided by the developer. <br />Whenever required, improvements must be provided by the <br />developer. Ilecausc the City has limited staff and limited <br />bonding potential, physical improvements such as roads, <br />drainage and utilities required to accommodate new <br />subdivisions or development should be designed, financed <br />and installed directly by the benefited developer as a <br />precondition to irvcrcascd land use density. In addition, this <br />philosophy includes developer responsibility for special fire <br />protection equipment or devices in the case of unusual land <br />uses or building configurations, and/or special security <br />services in the case of unusual public safety situations. <br />All physical improvements must conform to city <br />standards. Physical improvements related to health, safety or <br />community systems such as roads, pathways, drainage or <br />utility systems will be designed, located and con .trucicd to <br />uniform. City-established standards to ensure proper <br />functioning and compatibility with overall City plans <br />Developers must dedicate lands required for public use. <br />Land subdivision or any development that results in increased <br />land use density, and hence increased demand for municipal <br />services, will be expected to include public dedication of <br />lands necessary for additional road rights of way, parks, <br />playgrounds, open space, ponds or storm water holding areas <br />whoever such facilities arc directly used by the subdivided <br />land or required by such density increase.
