Letters: City center plans beginning to worry reader

Posted

I read with interest the feature article in last week’s edition as well as the mayor’s column regarding the impending development of our City Center complex.  

What is the status of the plan which will guide the development of this crown jewel in our community?

The last I heard last year was that it was the property owner’s responsibility to develop a comprehensive plan for this parcel in the heart of our community.

As I understand it, that plan may or may not be adopted by the City Council. Yet, the city is going to be expected to regulate the development of this complex thru zoning, building permits etc.

I have not heard much in the way of progress in this area since the first of the year. My concern is that, without a recognized development plan, we may well end up with this important area just covered over with a mish-mash of different uses — with no inherent integrity or sense of place.
