' ! mixer'r PR .r CT REPORTS Idea Report 12 it's capped.The buffer provided by options 1 &3 seem a bit more realistic. I felt as if the businesses would be hidden and felt as if having a residential area right next to a major highway would be a bad idea. We need some more higher end neighborhoods and most of those are off the highway a little bit. Option#1 -I don't want my home to be in an industrial park. Option#2-The "flex use" option scares me because who knows what it will end up being. Question: Do you have any other comments to share? I look forward to seeing more about timing of the project. I would like to see larger businesses as well as popular food chains in our area. We need something that sets our town aside rather than just the basic businesses we have here now. Is this process being guided primarily by public responses or by the consultant's expertise? Is the consultant able to determine what the long term viability of the different uses is? It's all well and good to want a lot of Highway Business but if that will never be a viable use,we should know that and plan accordingly. Also-a LONG term plan is needed ... not just filling it up quickly. If we really want retail/dining,that may take many years...we need to be patient. Regardless of the scenario chosen, I'd like to see more green/open space included. There are many wild animals in the area that will be displaced with development. The open space along the rail corridor should be expanded. Comments Number of Comments 2 Comment 1:Thanks for your comment Troy.
