BACKGROUND: The Efland Area Study was commissioned by the Planning Board in 1988 to address community character concerns /land use issues in Efland. After delays on behalf of the EDC's Target Advisory Group, the area study began in July 1990. The process has been community - oriented, utilizing a community survey and a series of seven community meetings to formulate community goals, objectives and issues. A steering committee was appointed by 38 Efland residents in November 1990 to jointly assist staff in producing the community land use plan recommendations, and to recommend a course of action for village incorporation. The Efland Area Study, complete with map and recommendations, was presented to 32 Efland residents on February 12, 1991 with general agreement on the recommendations. In brief, the Efland Area Study_ recommends a series of actions and strategies designed to enhance the community character of the village from the standpoint of housing, community services, transportation, open space, and land use planning.
