He said in the <br /> coming months, staff will work with the various boards to determine development goals. He <br /> said this land can be developed in pods of affordable housing, or as mixed income <br /> development, which seemed preferable. He said the question of density would need to be <br /> considered as well. He said the trend seems to be leaning towards do more rather than less; <br /> more total units and possibly more affordable housing. <br /> Alderman Seils said he hoped all towns and staff has been able to review these <br /> scenarios. <br /> Craig Benedict said yes, and they are still available to be viewed. <br /> Alderman Seils said this is a high priority for everyone at the table tonight.

He said all entities have already agreed to the reconfiguration, and the <br /> BOCC voted on the density alternatives. He said he favors putting some hard dates on these <br /> deadlines as this is now a policy issue. He said affordable housing is their highest priority and <br /> this can be their test case on collaboration. He said thus far they are all failing, and he agreed <br /> with Mayor Lavelle to put it on their agendas as soon as possible. <br /> Councilmember Oates said this is an isolated site, requiring personal transportation, and <br /> it is important to do focus groups before deciding what will be built there. She said it is well <br /> meaning to want to serve as many people as possible, but it is critical to hear the input from <br /> those who actually want to live there. <br /> Councilmember Bin echoed Councilmember Oates' comments, and said planning goes <br /> hand in hand with environmental issues, both of which are very important. She said there are <br />
