31 <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked what the timeline is for finishing this work. <br /> Cy Stober says this will take 10 months. <br /> Chair Bedford said we are a little behind but cautioned not to schedule things in July. <br /> Vice-Chair Greene said she appreciates this proposal and that over the years there have <br /> been discussions about the potential for small scale commercial development in this area. She <br /> asked if this master plan leaves room for this to be revisited. <br /> Chair Bedford asked what a pattern book is. <br /> Dan Jewell said it is a collection of design elements and details that would be seen as <br /> aspirational for the community. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> Reverend Robert Campbell said it is important for Thomas and Hutton to come on board. <br /> He said more conversation focused on what is actually possible to fit on the land is important. He <br /> said he has worked with consultants before, and some things can be implemented, and some <br /> cannot. He said they can look at other recent developments for guidance and ideas. He said there <br /> is another community engagement meeting this week on this topic. <br /> Chair Bedford said she thinks the connectivity part is critical and fits in with what Reverend <br /> Campbell said. She said they need to address how to create a feeling of community in what is <br /> developed there. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to <br /> authorize the expenditure of up to $155,000 for professional services to provide Design Services <br /> for the Greene Tract Master Plan; approve Budget Amendment#5-A; and approve and authorize <br /> the County Manager to execute and sign the contract (Attachment 3) to provide for the Letter <br /> Agreement of Services as detailed in Attachment 1. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said she is glad to be moving forward on this. She asked if <br /> entrances and exits to a potential future school are being looked at as part of this. <br /> Cy Stober said yes, as well as whether it will be interconnected with the development <br /> acreage. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 7.
