<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />2) Negative affects of the Large Lot Proposal. <br /> <br />Growth Retardation <br /> <br />Due to the street configuration and platted land dimension, the <br />establishment ofa minimum one (1) acre lot size with one hundred (100) <br />foot minimum street frontage would severely retard the growth potential of <br />the Lomax area. <br /> <br />Further, the establishment of the one (1) acre would force out lot land <br />owners to develop these lots in two (2) acre lot~ This is due to the street <br />frontage being from 270 feet to 484 feet wid~ g.epending on the location <br />of the lots. It can be readily deciphered that a land owner would be forced <br />to divide the out lots in from two (2) to four (4) lots to meet the one <br />hundred (100) foot street frontage requirements. This puts the landowner <br />in the position to where he is forced to develop not one acre lot size but in <br />(2) two plus acre lot sizes. This further diminishes the marketability of this <br />property. <br /> <br />3) Legal Implication <br /> <br />a) This Proposal ofminimum one acre lot size infringes on the <br />Inherent property rights of individuals as guaranteed by the state and <br />Federal constitutions. The landowner should be permitted to - <br />develop property in compliance with ordinances passed and <br />administered by and for the entire city of LaPorte, not for a selected <br />portion of the city. <br /> <br />b) The Proposal ofminimum one acre lot size discriminates <br />against the property owner by preventing owners from building houses <br />for parents or offspring, denying productive land uses, or sub dividing <br />IJpd disposal of property upon retirement. It also disenfranchises by not <br />allowing the development of property in the same manner as the rest of <br />LaPorte. <br />
