The importance of placement of windows is also a big concern of mine. <br /> Good use (location) of storage is important and design that gives some privacy to family <br /> members. Discussion of one or two-story designs, duplex, triplex???Anything but big apartment <br /> buildings. Recreation areas and ways to make sure owners maintain their property without high <br /> or overly strict HOAs. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br /> None <br /> Hillsborough Planning Board <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> BA in Communications/Advertising, Michigan State University Owner of Intensity Advertising and <br /> Marketing Graphic and ad designer for the Raleigh News and Observer Real Estate License <br /> 2000-2021, worked for Keller Williams Realty Designed and built two homes (Raleigh & <br /> Hillsborough) Landlord for 3 rental homes Experience with exterior and interior building materials <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I have lived in Hillsborough almost 5 years. Unfortunately because of COVID I have not been <br /> able to meet as many people or be active in different groups. I like living here, but I see a lot of <br /> small and maybe larger improvements that would make this town more attractive and vibrant. I <br /> know a lot of people here go to other surrounding cities for a lot of reasons, would be nice if <br /> there was more stores here. Also I found there is a real lack in welcoming new residents and <br /> even harder to find out about local businesses. It got the feeling that if you aren t from these <br /> parts you don t need to know. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I don't know what viewpoints exist, so hard to say. But I am a very visual person and feel I could <br /> bring a new perspective to the overall ambiance of the town. It is easy to get used to living <br /> somewhere and take everything for granted, sometimes a new eye can be helpful. Not that so <br /> much needs changing, maybe just tweaking here and there! <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s) that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br /> None <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 4/18/2023 8:22:11 PM Date Printed: 4/20/2023 <br />
