environmental impacts that come with connection to utilities.
This request, with the associated conditions, is a balance between the impact on schools
and roads, and the promotion of development practices that utilize the systems currently in
place. Staff feels that the impact on the schools is offset by the conditions of the request,
primarily the lot limitation, and that the core principles of the Growth Study are being met.
