meeting we have. She added that we've got to have consensus on the <br />map we send to the implementation subcommittee to come up with <br />incentives that will promote less dense development. Bob Strayhorn <br />said he thought most everyone could agree to doing development in <br />a better way without taking anything away from people. He felt <br />that trying to make things too restrictive and protect everything <br />on the map would result in spending half the time in the <br />courthouse. <br />Dean Zehnder said he thought we had general agreement on things and <br />that rather than continuing to redefine sharp divisions between <br />individual plots of land, we needed to send them forward to the <br />implementation subcommittee.

She also asked if there was agreement on the mission <br />(vision ?) statement and value statement and agreement in principle <br />on the items discussed at this meeting. <br />COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE <br />Dan Teichman asked what was needed for the proposed open house. <br />Bell indicated that a final product was not necessary but maps, <br />text, handouts, etc. would be needed. He also asked about how much <br />lead time was needed to inform the community. Bell indicated two - <br />and -a -half to three weeks was reasonable. Teichman stated that <br />planning group deliberations tended to run long and suggested <br />7 <br />
