The position described in the quote (governor) compares closest to the U.S. president. Governors are the chief executive officers of the fifty states and five commonwealths and territories. They are, in other words, the managers and leaders of the states, so they are comparable to the U.S. president, although on a smaller scale.
Although this is a personal task that only you can complete, we are able to provide an example of what this letter would look like:
<em>Dear city council,</em>
<em>I have recently heard of the plans that the government has proposed in order to develop this new city. I believe that the plans are sound, but that they do not properly take into account the principles of zoning. I would like to share my knowledge in this subject in order to contribute to this task.</em>
<em>There are three main categories of zoning in a city that need to be taken into account: </em><em>commercial, residential and manufacturing</em><em>. Commercial deals with the location of stores and businesses. I believe that these should be mostly concentrated in the center of the city. As the city will not be very large, this will give easy access to amenities to all residents. Moreover, by having all the stores close to each other, we will make shopping easier and more enjoyable. </em>
<em>When it comes to residential, I would suggest that most residential areas should surround this commercial area. This will allow all houses to easily access the center. It will also give us enough room to have residential areas while maintaining much of the natural beauty of the area.</em>
<em>Finally, industries and manufacturing, which constitute manufacturing, should be located outside of all these areas. This is important in order to ensure that the industrial look associated with them is not present in the city, along with the noise and pollution that comes with them.</em>
<em>I hope that this advice is useful and that you consider it in your analysis.</em>
<em>Best,</em>
<em>Sue</em>
