The Town of Lakeville Comprehensive Plan 2011, read as maps
The 2011 plan is this town's one great plan-as-map, and its map set is read here as cartography, as the checklist requires. The document: the Town of Lakeville Comprehensive Plan, carried on the county's own site, in draft dated 27 June 2011 — a goal-driven plan, expressly not legally binding, its information collected from ESRI business data and the Michiana Area Council of Governments. Its argument is carried in its maps as much as in its text. The land-use chapter (pages 82–87) works from an existing-land-use account to a future-land-use recommendation — the town as it is, drawn, against the town as it is meant to become, drawn. The appendix gathers the plan's cartography in one run: a Zoning Map at page 111, the Existing Land Use Map at page 112, and the Future Land Use Map at page 113. Read as maps, the three sheets are the plan's whole theory in pictures: zoning as the present legal town, existing use as the present real town, and future use as the intended town — and the differences among the three are the plan. No earlier plan-as-map for Lakeville stands in any carrier reached; the plat of 1859 is the town as first intended, and the maps file's pointer to the parks treatment is superseded by this reading for the 2011 set. The next plan, when the town makes one, joins this article's series by right.
