Chair Castellucci led a discussion over the Board's review of the 2020 Greenways Master Plan. She noted that discussions will be needed to determine the structure of the next master plan. She also noted that during the review that she and other board members should make note of topics that could be included in the Village's next community survey.
Chair Castellucci noted that the purpose of the master plan was to evaluate the needs and wants of community. She noted that the plan needs to discuss parks, greenways, and greenspace, including the acquisition of property for future parks, properties to preserve and rehab greenspace, programming and amenities for parks, greenways, and greenspaces, etc. She further noted that the plan should consider future steps and the necessary triggers for implementation, which would include the acquisition of property and easements.
She continued noting that the plan should have a goal of continuity and connectivity, to plan for long-term growth and development, to serve as a notice to homeowners (both current and future), and to provide guidance to current and future council and board members.
Hunter Nestor, Planning Director, added that the plan should note challenges for future projects and that the plan would assist staff if in the acquisition of grants to fund future projects.
Councilman Baresich encouraged board members to think about survey questions as they review the master plan.
Vice-Chair Culp noted the need for the plan to have an executive summary, mission statement, or a list of primary goals to better summarize the plan and make it more accessible to its readers.
