PLAN, from front Waterford Street. "There will be no loss to the business owners," Jones said. In addition, both plans give the businesses along East Waterford Street the option to remain where they are. However, new zoning rules will restrict them from expanding unless they move. Several business owners were not pleased with the idea. Some have already planned to expand in the near future. However, Jones indicated that he believes moving could, in the long run, help the businesses, especially if they relocate along the S.R. 19 corridor. Both plans allow for more city parks, especially near the downtown area. ALTERNATE NUMBER ONE The first alternate plans for the complete phasing out of all non-residential land uses along that particular stretch of Waterford within 10 to 20 years and replacing them with what Jones calls "traditional neighborhood design concepts," like tum-of-the-century-type housing. Rear-loaded garages only will be allowed in this area, and there will be no driveways connecting to Waterford Street. According to Jones, this will give Wakarusa a more nostalgic small-town feel. The plan also calls for reduced front-yard setbacks and interconnected walkways, which Jones feels will be more pedestrian friendly. Improvements to the appearance of the SIR. 19 corridor are also part of the first plan. ALTERNATE NUMBER TWO Alternate plan number two calls for development of the Tarman farm, a piece of property outside of town that has already been purchased for development. Like the first plan, alternate number two calls for redevelopment of Waterford Street to reflect a more traditional neighborhood concept. This will, again, include the phasing out of all non-residential land uses along East Waterford and redeveloping Wakarusa’s gateways.

According to Jones Wakarusa's land use plan has not been updated since 1999. Some goals from that plan that carry into the new plan include amenities that would make the community more visible and more suited for raising a family, continued strategizing as far as meeting growing demands for housing, maintaining a businessfriendly atmosphere and encouraging orderly industrial development that is buffered from other land uses. In addition, the 1999 plan called for adequate infrastructure to suit both the existing and the future population, communi-ty-wide, family-friendly events and maintaining the small town atmosphere. As with the first meeting, residents were given forms to fill out, allowing them to indicate which land use plan they prefer. Space Was reserved on each sheet for comments. Detailed printouts of both the 1999 plan and the updated master land use plan were also available to the public. The board hopes to have reached a decision by August as to which land use plan they will adopt. They invite public input.
