Chairman Obermeyer Opened the Public Hearing.
Joel Blaylock, 310 Allenwood Drive, provided a letter in support and is attached hereto and made a part
of these minutes.
With no one wishing to speak for or against the request, Chairman Obermeyer closed the public
hearing.
The Commission discussed the funding for The Plan, asking Mr Bristow how The Plan would be funded.
Mr. Bristow indicated that most of The Plan would be funded by the developers and state grants.
Chairman Obermeyer questioned what percentage of The Plan would be the City's burden and if there
was a possibility of having to raise taxes. Brian responded that he could not give a percentage but that the
state grants would be the major resource for funding outside of those expenses incurred by the
development community. The Commission also indicated that they wanted to have continued input into
the implementation and design guideline procedures for The Plan. Mr. Hoover explained to the
Commission that the Planning and Zoning Commission would have input into The Plan and would
administer any updates and revisions as needed.
