Town Councilman Brian Sipes took the podium with concerns of redevelopment. He distributed his comments of the resolution. The redevelopment of East Avon is the focal point of the resolution to begin a proactive comprehensive plan inclusive of all localities of the Town of Avon. Town Councilman Ron Wolfe believes the resolution is appropriate to Town Council with the non specific planning so that the private sector can be at the helm. Specifics are the issue. Staff wants to put out to the public that the town is receptive to redevelopment. Commissioner Karow voiced the need for redrafting the comprehensive plan as the last one was done in 1996. He believes that involving the community along with Council and Commission is essential to the future of Avon. Mr. Wolfe discussed solutions with the focus of redevelopment to tying the two sides of Town together, and revamping of the comprehensive plan. Staff concurs.
