EXHIBIT B <br />In conclusion, Turfway recognizes that La Porte is desirous of Smart Growth and green infrastructure <br />with walkable communities. In the 1980's the Planning and Zoning Commission was established as, and <br />still is the advisory committee, the "gate keeper", for the community and market driven vision. <br />Three years ago Kendis Keast Collaborative (Urban Planning Consultants) updated the Comprehensive <br />Plan for La Porte to vision 2030 and set the stage to a buildout community. As indicated in 6.1 of the <br />Comprehensive Plan which outlines the benefits of Mixed -Use Development and includes a more <br />compact form of development, which is less consumptive on land and resources, convenience, mobility, <br />positive effects on City's budget, vacant properties added to tax rolls, and less infrastructure. Smart <br />Growth, (TND) promotes a character based system in lieu of a current use base system (CND). <br />With meeting and/or exceeding expectations of the Commission, and approval of La Porte Town Center <br />SCUP, this endeavor will prove to be a signature hallmark for La Porte's continuous growth as envisioned <br />by its citizenry. <br />Sincerely, <br />David Miles, Developer <br />Turfway FEC, LLC <br />
