Tambi Katieb introduced Rebecca Leonard from Design Workshop to the Commission.
Ms. Leonard approached the podium to discuss her background and qualifications. She discussed
the current plan and its benefit to the Town of Avon. Commissioner Evans questioned Ms. Leonard
on the comments provided to date and its inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Evans
mentioned that the Comp Plan to date is currently mediocre and would prefer the Plan to be "glued"
together more tightly. Commissioner Smith voiced that the plan needed wording to more reasonable
and concepts need more organization. Ms. Leonard asked the Commission regarding their thoughts
on the Plan. Commissioner Karow mentioned that the verbiage is watered down, an end goal is not
apparent in the Plan, and it needs to reflect the Steering Committee and Commission's concepts. It
was voiced that the momentum was here, but, it needs to be reorganized and the interest is in Ms.
Leonard's perception on the Plan.
Ms. Leonard suggested that a few work sessions with the Commission would be valuable to guide the
reorganization. Commissioner Evans mentioned that the Comp Plan should be easy to use, inclusive
of the other plans in Avon, and it shouldn't be loaded with personal opinion. Commissioner Karow
mentioned that clarity in the Plan with its goals and direction would be beneficial. Ms. Leonard
suggested that the Plan be amendable by the different sections and have the plan devised to
accommodate.
