By SUSAN TANNER HOLMES Standard-Examin- correspondent FARMINGTON - Concern about open space and access to the open space behind the Oak Lane subdivision led to a split vote by the city council on an ordinance amending Oak Lane Subdivision, number 2, reconfiguring, expanding, or subdividing lot 18. .

The proposal to change the master plan was denied by the planning commission because Farmington is currently creating conservation ordinances and redoing the zoning ordinances to provide for the philosophy of conservation, said David Peterson, city planner. The city council voted unanimously to table the issue pending the adoption of the conservation principles and zoning ordinances. The proposal would change zoning in the area from 8,000- - to lots to halfacre or acre lots, said Max city manager. Much of the land will be open space by the very nature of the property." "I have been very impressed with the correspondence and calls. This is legitimate public debate to be considered. said Mayor Gregory S. Bell. "It is not inappropriate for this council to consider an amendment to the general plan. Timing is propitious. We would like to have tins now rather than when we arc approached by developers."

I question the policy of neighbors having neighbors d. "We feel the general plan is the compromise," said Terry Glover, owner of 15.6 acres in the area. Amending the general plan should be done with great caution. We favor the general plan. It works for us. We dont want to place a burden on other peoples property and we dont want them to place a burden on our property, said Nancy Swift. We dont harm them and we dont want them to harm us. If we could trust land owners and developers to be responsible to our needs, we would say the master plan is sufficient. They would be held to their word. But zoning allows for flexibility and applications or term papers. An action plan makes it easier to stay on track. Write a mission statement: What you want to achieve and why.
