ZUCCALA The plan deals in policies In this respect It is different from the more familiar land use type of plan people are accustomed to seeing In the words of regional planner Rash Mohammed The plan does not deal with peoples backyards It deals with their life styles In an interview with this paper regional planners Ed Gumming director of regional planning Rash Mohammed and Bob White discussed ways in which you can approach your study of the plan and evaluation of it Planners want your com ments on the document A good plan must be credible in the publics eye said Mr Mohammed This is not our plan this is the publics plan When you are evaluating the plan there are two kinds of concerns you should have suggests Mr Cummlng One Is the specific effect the plan will have on you because of the geographic location of your residence The second Is the overall effect the plan will have on you because of the quality or lire it proposes In going over the plan you should ask whether it ex presses your value systems Mr Cumming said He a resident should sec If theres anything there that inhibits him Mr elaborated Does it protect him Does it prevent him from doing what he wants Does it reassure him there will be a lifestyle he can enjoy Other areas you might examine are the growth ret lions the balance between the number of jobs and residents and the balance between nature in the raw and urban settle he advised In effect the planners said the way to approach the plan is to Identify your values and philosophies concerning life style and compare them with the policies outlined in the plan The plan when approved in its final form is a policy com for regional to keep in mind in everyday decision making Mr dimming said It deals with processes that must be followed and en and guidelines to ob serve In making decisions the planning director said It t give you specific answer to a land use question the way a zoning by law does but it does tell you what goes in to produce an answer If you want to read the plan for yourself you will have to ask for a copy Brochure will be mailed to each household announcing the plan and pro viding directions for ob taining a copy What you will gel Is merit divided into six parts Part lib an introduction Part II contains the goals and objectives that were developed as a result of consultation with the public others In the summer and
