I hope to contribute to a balanced <br /> view, a quantitative analysis, and a qualitative report concerning growth, budgets, traffic, and <br /> other areas revolving around development. <br /> What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related <br /> to growth? <br /> Relative loss of income with additional low-to-middle priced housing, opportunity for light(and <br /> not water intensive) industry, affordable housing, traffic, loss of farm land, and quality of life. <br /> What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? <br /> The Board should serve county residents and businesses. The interests of developers should be <br /> subordinate, and when engaged should be urged to offer community amenities. <br /> How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of <br /> the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? <br /> I would like to get the input of county offices(such as Family Success Alliance,arts councils)and non-profits(for <br /> housing and the homeless)to see how the complex network of agencies can support development. I have interviewed <br /> public school executives(Superintendent, board chair,others),and would like to get their input into how the schools <br /> can respond to development. I would like to examine revenues and expenses in the county budget to be able to offer <br /> suggestions. <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 11/20/2017 3:42:35 PM Date Printed: 11/28/2017 <br />
