®r' A 7 Elio Soldi suggested that implementation strategies to further the goals be established and then discussed as a group. At that point options such as rezoning could be discussed. Both Elio Soldi and Curtis Bane volunteered to be on the Implementation Subcommittee. This subcommittee will work on developing options that would make the vision desirable to the landowners. VISION SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT: The members of this subcommittee are Trudy Cuffe, Dean Zehnder, Curtis Bane, Judson Edeburn and David Yelton. The statement entitled Draft 2 - Prepared by Vision Subcommittee on 11/7/95 was used for discussion. The "Alternative Vision Statement" was included for reference only. Dan Teichman mentioned that the inclusion of a park is an important point and needs to be in the Vision Statement. David Yelton said that they had focused on preservation rather than construction in their discussion. He agreed that they could include the establishment of a public access recreational area. Verla Insko commented that if affordable housing or mixed price housing was included in the vision, then an implement stategy might be inclusionary housing which would then require Enabing Legislation. David Yelton mentioned that the committee felt that words such as "guarantee" and "assure" implied a loss of options for the landowners.- For that reason, they avoided using those words. It was felt that "assuring" certain areas would be protected would in effect be down - zoning them. They wanted the Vision Statement to encourage creativity and flexibility. Bob Strayhorn asked how legislation could be used to create mixed use housing in areas where large lots were the norm. He supports incentives rather than mandates. Verla Insko pointed out that density might not be an incentive. This conversation pertains to the desire /vision of this committee, not how to implement the vision. Dan Teichman felt that this is about recognizing and acknowledging the responsibility to create a balanced vision that includes different types of development. He mentioned that the desirability of "affordable or mixed variety" housing could easily be included in this vision. Verla Insko asked if it was, in fact, a part of this group's vision to encourage inclusionary housing? If so, this issue needs to be on the list of discussion items. Meg McKean stated that inclusionary housing already exists. David Yelton mentioned that in true rural character there are options for minor commercial, such as an internally oriented community store. They created a list of those types of commercial
