<br />Comments from Other Commissions and Boards <br />[Comments that have been included in Draft Goals are bolded] <br />[Bonestroo notes in italics) <br /> <br />Environmental Policv Board Input <br /> <br />. Impressed with the level of citizen involvement with regard to natural resources at <br />the OSTs. It appears that there is strong community support to preserve natural <br />resources. OS18 were "a breath of fresh air" Everybody got the chance to be <br />heard. . <br />. Would be nice to differentiate which goals/policies came from existing Comp <br />Plan, OSTs, or staff/consultant additions. <br />. A lot of goals. Would be nice to pare them down, prioritize them, or organize into <br />longer/shorter term goals. <br />. Consider an executive summary of each topic that is concise and focused, so that <br />the document can be easily referenced. <br />. Strong desire to use it as a guidepost for writing Council and Commission Work <br />Plans. <br /> <br />Park Commission Input <br /> <br />. Generally glad to see reinforcement ofP&R Commission's current goals <br />. Glad to see connectivity component, also community center <br />. Should consider adding Crime Prevention Through Environmental De~ign <br />(CPTED) policies/guidelines for parks and other areas, not just housing . <br />added to Park/Trail strategy <br />. Shouldn't reduce existing sidewalk policies, should be expanding instead <br />. Sidewalks are good, but they need to lead somewhere <br />. Like the strategy that increases signage and pavement markings for trails <br />. Need to resolve inconsistencies between comp plan maps and park and trail plan <br />map <br />. Park & Recr'eation Strategy: Minimize at-grade crossings of trails and roads <br />and other interactions between trail users and automobiles *should be <br />clarified to state underpasses and overpasses* added to Park/Trail strategy <br />. Park & Recreation Strategy: Explore the use of pedestrian-activated signals, <br />continuously flashing signage and mid-block crossings to further increase trail <br />safety *concerned with encouraging mid-block crossings, these should be <br />minimized or eliminated* added to Park/Trail strategy - mid-block or not? <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority Input <br /> <br />. Remove "develop a local chamber of commerce" from policies and strategies <br />get comments <br />. Remove "explore opportunities for City-sponsored events" get comments <br />. Add a goal to "Encourage and assist with new development in Town <br />Center" added to Econ Devt strategy <br /> <br />77 <br />
