ATTACHMENT 1
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) Infill development: The code and process makes this a difficult process for development and or redevelopment.
I feel that the board and city needs to be flexibility so people can develop and or redevelop so not
to impact neighborhoods, traffic in a fair and equitable manner. The code, zones must be adjusted to
allow for for this, however, protect neighborhoods and work with in the process.
2) Hughes Stadium, Montava ... are big developments facing our city. The board must be able to do its job
with out unfair/undo and outside influences. The board must be fair and transparent so the community
and others be heard and a fair ruling with in the documented process that is on record. This will allow
the board to conduct a fair and impartial hearing that all citizens and developers can trust and respect.
3) The board must be comprised of a open and balance representation so the community and business can trust
and respect. Diversity is most important so citizens know that we are a full inclusive community. All
views should be heard and respected. I believe in a open fair and equitable process.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
None that I know of. If selected for the Planning and Zoning Board, I will resign my seat on the Transportation
Board and the BAC committee.
