Pleasant Harbor MPR
2014.4.7 Development Agreement.DOC; 201.4.4.6 Pleasant Harbor Zoning Code.doc
Hi David-
Thanks for your patience-it's been a crazy week. Attached is the draft zoning ordinance and development agreement
for the Pleasant Harbor MPR. As I mentioned, we are still finalizing other documents (ie water and sewer plans) which
may result in modifications of these documents. That said, I think we are sufficiently far enough along that it makes
sense to get the County's input at this stage.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
JT
