Administration and tax structure of the community You do not get complete engineering plans. It is a source to program out future developments. Present fringe areas are part of the city because it is within the "urbanized area ". Sanford would need to plan beyond the present city limits because of the anticipated growth. The first step would be the preparation of a pilot plan determing the problems in the city; the principal facts of the city; and the objectives desired. This Would take about one year and would be circulated to the public. The second step would be the preparation of the compre- hensive plan where the work is done carefully and completely. Major problems'are given detailed study. The third step is the adoption of the plan by the city. Zoning then comes as an action step or tool to help bring about the plan. The best way to get industrial development is to plan it -- than go out to get it. Planning should go on as a permanent part of the city ad- ministration. Hiring an individual may work in a large city, but people close to a problem are absorbed in the details. Many different skills are needed to prepare a plan. Plan would be for 25 years and show priority of work. The work would be proposed for 5 or 10 years with a restudy after 10 years.
