Box 9037 <br />Paris, Texas 75461-9037 <br /> <br />Re: Follow-up to the Meeting of August 13, 2001 <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />It was a pleasure seeing you on Monday and Tuesday and discussing the final amendments to the <br />Comprehensive Plan. As I mentioned, we appreciate your leadership in getting this project brought to <br />conclusion. <br /> <br />Concerning the map amendments, enclosed is a CD of the finally revised Future Land Use Plan Map. <br />The items listed by Murphy & Associates has been incorporated into the map with the following <br />exceptions: <br />· The institutional designation on the inside of the loop where the orthopedic clinic and cancer <br /> institute are located has been retained. <br /> <br />The moderate density residential district inside of the loop between 35th Northeast and the loop <br />between Lamar and Pine Mill Road has been retained, This is an area where the neighborhood <br />needs to be expanded and protected from nonresidential development. <br /> <br />The 19th Street Northwest corridor has been retained for residential development as shov:n, given <br />the interest in strengthening residential uses in this area. <br /> <br />The area along Clarksville Street between 19m and 23~d Streets has been retained for residential on <br />the south and north sides as shown given the need to support the adjacent residential <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />In summary, the map amendments suggested by Murphy & Associates were well advised and were, in <br />large measure, implemented. In several cases, however, the plan intent is to support the integrity of <br />residential neighborhoods, particular at the "edges." For example, residences in the vicinity of <br />Washington Street south of Clarksville Street back up to the commercial uses that front Clarksville Street. <br />These areas need to be strengthened and supported to ensure a long-term viable neighborhood. <br /> <br />7920 WARD PARKWAY II KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI 64114-2021 I 816/363-2696 I FAX: 816/363-0027 <br /> <br /> <br />
