Application for Change of Zone —TMK (3)1 -8- 005:133 Harry & Sandy Freitas II. CONFORMANCE WITH STATE /COUNTY PLANS A.

The subject parcel will not change physically, aside from the construction of farm dwellings on the new lots. Therefore, the proposed change of zone and subdivision will not impact the current beauty, cleanliness, quiet and stable natural system there.
