If you look at the overall plan, there is a reasonable buffer zone around the existing<br />

community except for whóre it meets Longacre Drive. I have copied a quote from the<br />

document found on the Hesperia website created by Fletcher and Company titled *A<br />

development plan for the Hãsperia Lands - December 2009'. Note the bullet highlighted in<br />

red.<br />

6.3. Community lssues and Priorites<br />

Based on the ¡nput at the Open Houses, three planning priorites for<br />

the communitY emerged:<br />

. Open SPace:<br />

o a variety <strong>of</strong> open spaces with large public areas;<br />

o the clustering <strong>of</strong> buildings to develop community nodes<br />

interspersed with oPen space;<br />

o separaton <strong>of</strong> new development from existing development<br />

with open space;<br />

o play areas for children.<br />

I would suggest that the blue highlighted area does not address that 3'd statement at all, and<br />

should be left as green space to accomplish the intent <strong>of</strong> "minimizing the amount <strong>of</strong> disruption<br />

to the surrounding community" as statãd on the *About' page on the Hesperia website under<br />

"<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>'s guiding principles and Mandate"<br />
