UM, THE 2035 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIED TWO OF OUR MAJOR VILLAGES, CENTERVILLE BEING ONE COURTHOUSE, BEING THE OTHER AS THE AREA WHERE GROWTH SHOULD OCCUR.
UM, AND SO THE REASON WHY WE ARE NOW STUDYING THESE PLANS IN MORE DETAIL IS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, UM, USUALLY THE COUNTY HAS BECOME VERY POPULAR AND WE ARE, UM, HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS GROWTH COMES TO THE COUNTY AND TO THE DESIGNATED AREAS, IT'S DONE RESPONSIBLY, WE WANT IT TO BE, UM, A WAY THAT REPRESENTS, UM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WHEN OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE MAKING DECISIONS, IT REFLECTS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AS WELL.

AND, UM, WHAT I WANNA, UH, JUST TO STATE IS THAT THE STUFF THAT YOU WILL BE SEEING TONIGHT IS CONCEPTUAL.
WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THIS.

WE HAD TO QUICKLY CANCEL LAST TIME DUE TO DURHAM CONCERNS AND THINGS, BUT DELIGHTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT.
UM, SO AS WE START THIS CONVERSATION, UM, LET'S SEE, UM, TURN IT OFF, TURN IT.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
SO JUST TO, TO, UM, TO JUST SORT OF REMEMBER WHERE WE ARE ON THIS, THIS IS WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL BILL VILLAGE AND THE, THE BALANCE RATE THAT WE, UH, THAT WE WERE PROVIDED WHEN WE STARTED THE STUDY, UH, INTERSTATE 64, IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF, UH, OF A VILLAGE AND OFFENSIVE SPORT BOUNDARY HERE ON THE EAST SIDE.
IT'S THE HENRICO COUNTY, THOSE TWO PRETTY FIXED.
AND WELL-DEFINED THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE, UH, OF THE VILLAGE IS REALLY, UH, IS SORT OF THE EXTENT OF A NUMBER OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE AROUND IN HERE IN THE WEST.
AND RIGHT IN THIS AREAS, IT'S SATISFIED, WHICH EVERYBODY POINTS OUT A VERY IMPORTANT LANDMARK AND THE GOLF COURSE GOLF COURSE WAS PUT IN THE PROJECT REQUESTED TO BE.
AND SO THE WEST LEFT DOWNRANGE, UH, JUST LEFT THE GOLF COURSE.
UM, NEXT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GOT A CHANCE TO MEET THE DESIGN TEAM.
AND SO, AS JAMIE MENTIONED, UH, WE BROUGHT THEM HERE TO VISIT ONE-ON-ONE WITH YOU.
SO AFTER THIS INTRODUCTORY PIECE, UH, YOU, YOU KNOW, COME AND MEET EVERYBODY THAT'S WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AND TELL THEM RIGHT UPFRONT ONE-TO-ONE, WHAT'S WORKING, WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE.
SO THE DESIGN I'M LOOKING AROUND FOR THE DESIGN TEAM, UM, OVER HERE, UH, ROSS THOMAS, HE'S A SPECIALIST IN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, UH, BACK IN THE BACK, AARON ARNETT, BRILLIANT ECONOMIST, UH, PETER GERARDO IS RIGHT HERE.
HE'S BEEN VERY, VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN SOME OF THE DESIGN BOARDS THAT YOU SEE HERE, A STUDENT INTERN, AND ALSO BRANDING AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE VERY BACK CHRISTIAN CRAWLEY AND, UH, AND MYSELF I'M DAVID HILL.
UM, UH, AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO, UH, OUR, OUR AGENDA IS, UM, ROSS IS GONNA SUMMARIZE ALL THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT'S GONE ON OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
THEN AARON IS GOING TO PROVIDE ECONOMICS REPORTS AND A BRANDING REPORT.
I'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE VISUAL AND SPATIAL CHARACTER PROPOSED FOR CENTERVILLE VILLAGE, AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL BREAK OUT AND WE'LL COME AND VISIT THE DIFFERENT BOARDS.
UH, GENERALLY THE, UH, UH, AARON'S WORK IS OVER ON THIS CORNER, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE BACK, AND THEN THEIR DESIGN IS ALL ON YOUNGEST SIDE.
SO COME AROUND AND SEE ALL OF US.
AND ALSO AS, AS JAMIE INTRODUCED, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A NINE MONTH PROCESS.
UM, REMEMBER LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, WE, WE CAME AND MET YOU ALL AT THE OTHER CHURCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VILLAGE.
UH, WE HAD THE INTRODUCTORY MEETINGS AND THEN SEVERAL PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN ROUND TABLES.
UH, MANY OF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY SURVEY, UH, AND DURING THAT TIME WE WILL, WE KIND OF MAPPING AND GATHERING ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION ON THE EXISTING ECONOMICS.
AND, UH, AND WE'VE PROPOSED TONIGHT SOME DRAFT PLANNING ALTERNATIVES.
SO TONIGHT WE CALL THIS OUR MIDWAY MEETING.
WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH AFTER TONIGHT WITH YOUR COMMENTS, WE WILL REVISE WHAT YOU SEE ON THE DESIGN SIDE AND, AND ON THE BRAND.
AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN THE FALL WITH A PRESENTATION SERIES, CULMINATING, I BELIEVE WITH, WITH A PRESENTATION TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BEFORE PUTTING TOGETHER OUR FINAL PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, IN THE LATE FALL.
SO, UM, WHAT I'LL DO, I'LL ASK ROSS TO COME UP AND PRESENT THE FINDINGS OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
HE'LL, HE'LL, HE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU SAID WAS, SO, YEAH, IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ME, UH, WE WERE JUST TAKING THIS OFF AND, UM, SINCE THEN WE ENDED UP GETTING ABOUT 200 RESPONSES.
IT'S ABOUT THE SAME OVER THE COURTHOUSE VILLAGE AREA.
UH, WE WERE, WE KIND OF USED A FEW DIFFERENT APPROACHES USING SOCIAL MEDIA, QR CODES, THAT KIND OF THING, JUST REALLY TRYING TO GET TO YOU ALL IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
[00:10:01]
UM, AND THE EASIEST WAY POSSIBLE JUST USING, USING AN ONLINE SURVEY.UM, SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS KIND OF SHOWS THE DISTRIBUTION IF YOU TOOK IT.
UM, MAJORITY OF THE RESPONSES, UH, ARE IN THAT DARKER COLOR, WHICH IS OVER IN THE EASTERN PART OF HOUSTON COUNTY OVER IN CENTERVILLE AREA, BUT THERE WERE SOME RESPONSES KIND OF SCATTERED ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE, THE GENERAL REGION, UM, AND IN DIFFERENT PARTS.
UM, THERE'S WERE KIND OF SPORADIC AND NOT ONLY A FEW HERE AND THERE.
UM, SO THE, THE FIRST QUESTION WE ASKED WAS, WAS, UH, HOW MANY OF YOU ALL LIVE IN BOUCHER COUNTY AND MORE THAN HALF ARE ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE COUNTY.
UM, AND THEN A GOOD, A GOOD PORTION OF A VIEW ALL LIVE IN THE ACTUAL CENTERVILLE VILLAGE BOUNDARY.
UM, SO YOU KNOW, THAT THE RESPONSES THAT YOU ARE GETTING IN THE, IN THE FEEDBACK WE GOT IS MOSTLY FROM YOU ALL, UM, UH, HOW POSITIVE IMAGE DO YOU HAVE OF THE, OF THE REGION, THIS ONE, UM, AROUND THE NEUTRAL TO SOMEWHAT POSITIVE RANGE.
UM, SO NOT, NOT TOO NEGATIVE THERE.
UH, AND THEN WE ALSO ASKED YOU ALL TO GIVE US SOME WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE, UM, THE WAY YOU FEEL THE CHARACTER IS IN THE CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
AND AS YOU SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, UM, THE WORDS THAT WERE GIVEN THE MOST RESPONSES ARE, ARE LARGER, WHEREAS THE ONES THAT KINDA, UM, THAT WERE GIVEN LESS OFTEN, BUT IT'S STILL IMPORTANT ARE SMALLER LETTERS DOWN BELOW.
SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE WORDS INCLUDE ACQUAINT AND FRIENDLY.
IT'S A GATEWAY, UH, IT'S RURAL, UM, QUIET GROWING.
THAT'S A BIG ONE IT'S KIND OF OVER HERE TODAY.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT YOU ALL WOULD, WOULD PROBABLY AGREE WITH.
AND THEN SOME OF THE BIGGEST STRENGTHS OF THE CENTERVILLE VILLAGE THAT YOU ALL SAID, UH, WHERE IT'S LOCATION, UM, PROXIMITY TO, TO, UH, OTHER GROWING, DEVELOPING AREAS.
UM, IT'S POTENTIAL, THE UTILITIES ARE OVER HERE.
UM, IT'S CONVENIENT, IT'S GOT A SMALL TOWN FEEL IT'S ACCESSIBLE TO HIGHWAYS AND, AND OTHER AMENITIES.
SO, UM, JUST, JUST THINGS LIKE THAT, IT'S RURAL, UM, YOU KNOW, NICE SCREEN SPACE AND PLACE SCENIC VIEWS AND THAT KIND OF THING.
UM, SO THEN WHAT WE DID WAS WE ALSO ASKED SOME QUESTIONS ON SOME SPECIFIC PLACES, AND THIS IS A MUCH LONGER LIST.
AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE THAT LIST, WHEN WE BREAK OUT AT THE END OF THE SESSION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COME AND SEE SOME OF THOSE RESPONSES.
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, A LOT OF THE ANSWERS INCLUDED, UH, THE RESTAURANTS, YOU KNOW, SATURDAY NIGHTS AND SUNSET GRILL, UM, FARMERS, THE FARMER'S MARKET, AND THEN A LOT OF, UM, GOLF ORIENTED, UM, BUSINESSES, SYCAMORE CREEK GOLF COURSE, UM, DRIVE SHACK AND BOGEY SPORTS PARK, OR SOME OF THE TOP ANSWERS THERE.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET TO A SERIES OF QUESTIONS HERE THAT ARE KIND OF SIMILAR.
UM, SO THE FIRST ONE HERE IS WHAT SHOULD BE THE FOCUS OF THE STRONG IDENTITY FOR CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
UM, AND THOSE, THOSE TOP RESPONSES ARE THE ONES THAT WE, WE, WE PUT UP THERE, BUT WE STARTED OFF WITH ABOUT 10 TO 12 DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
SO THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WERE CHOSEN MOST FREQUENTLY, UM, BY YOU ALSO, THOSE, THOSE INCLUDED PROMOTING LOCAL BUSINESS, POSITIONING THE VILLAGE, UH, AS A PLACE TO OPERATE A BUSINESS, UM, AND PROMOTING COMMUNITY EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES.
UH, AND THEN AS FAR AS THE LAND USE GOES, SOME OF THE TOP RATED RESPONSES YOU ALL GAVE US WERE MIXED USE AND THEN PUBLIC AND RECREATIONAL SPACE.
CAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL LACK SOME OF THAT OVER IN THE CENTERVILLE VILLAGE BOUNDARY, UH, LAST AND THE NEXT ONE IS TOP RATED ASPECTS OF QUALITY RELATED TO QUALITY OF LIFE.
THOSE INCLUDE CENTERVILLE'S A PLACE TO LIVE AND RAISE A FAMILY, HAVE CHILDREN.
AND THEN IN GENERAL, THE OVERALL ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY, UM, SOME OF THE TOP RATED ASPECTS TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDES THE UTILITIES, ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SEWER WATER, AS WELL AS THE QUALITY QUALITY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUBDIVISIONS.
SOME OF THE TOP RATE ASPECTS OF THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT INCLUDE QUALITY OF BUSINESSES AND SERVICES, DINING, AND SHOPPING OPTIONS, AND THEN ATTRACTIVENESS TO VISITORS.
SO THESE, AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE THOUGHTS YOU ALL HAVE IN TERMS OF CENTERVILLE VILLAGE, AS IT IS TODAY.
AND THE NEXT QUESTION HERE IS IF MORE HOUSING WERE TO BE DEVELOPED IN SERVO VILLAGE, WHAT TYPES OF YOU DESIRE THERE'S INCLUDED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT WITH, UM, RESIDENTIAL RETAIL AND OFFICE USES, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO IN SOME OF THE DESIGN ASPECTS TODAY, AS WELL AS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND TOWNHOMES.
UM, WE HAVE JUST A LITTLE MORE OF THESE TOP RATED ASPECTS FOR NEW DESIGN, UH, WHICH ARE ALL TAKEN CONSIDERATION WITH THE CONCEPTS WE'LL GET INTO LATER INCLUDED A BUILDING HEIGHT AND SIZE, UM, UH, SETBACKS FROM THE ROADWAY AND, UH, BEAUTIFYING THE STREETS WITH SIGNS AND PLANNINGS, LANDSCAPING, THAT KIND OF THING.
THOSE ARE ALL, SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR YOU ALL.
UM, THIS ONE IS, UH, HOPEFULLY NOT TOO HARD TO READ FOR YOU ALL, BUT I'LL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT HERE.
UM, WE ASKED WHAT TYPES OF RETAIL AND RESTAURANT BUSINESSES ARE MOST NEEDED IN CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
AND SOME OF THE TOP RESPONSES INCLUDED THINGS LIKE COFFEE SHOPS, UH, FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS, UM, FINE DINING RESTAURANTS THAT MAY BE MORE OF YOUR CASUAL OR FANCY ITALIAN RESTAURANT, THAT KIND OF THING A PHARMACY IS NEEDED.
UM, AND THEN BOUTIQUE SHOPS, THE SMALL AMOUNT OF POP TYPE SHOPS, I THINK IS SOMETHING YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED IN.
[00:15:01]
UM, THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES ARE NEEDED IN CENTERVILLE VILLAGE? AND THE TOP ANSWER WAS, UH, MEDICAL SERVICES.AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONES INCLUDED SOME SALONS, YOUR PERSONAL CARE NAIL SALONS, HAIR SALONS, THAT KIND OF THING, DRY CLEANERS, UH, GYM, UH, IN SOME, SOME MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SENIOR SERVICES.
WHAT TYPES OF PUBLIC SPACES AND ACTIVITIES ARE NEEDED IN THE VILLAGE.
UM, THE TOP RESPONSES THERE, UH, WHICH AGAIN, WE'LL GET INTO, UH, CAUSE ALL OF THIS FEEDBACK WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE, DAVID'S GOING TO GET INTO LATER IN THE PRESENTATION AND THOSE INCLUDED, UH, GATHERING SPACES, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A FARMER'S MARKET WAS ONE OF THE TOP PLACES YOU ALL LOVE TO GO TO, UH, PLACES FOR, FOR PARKS AND RECREATION AND TRAILS, PLACES TO BIKE OR, OR HORSEBACK RIDING, UM, PLACE FOR LIVE MUSIC OR COMMUNITY EVENTS, THIS KIND OF ACTIVATED SPACES THAT REALLY BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER ARE OBVIOUSLY, UM, SOME, SOME THINGS YOU GUYS HAVE THE MOST INTERESTED IN, AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IN A, PASS IT OFF TO, TO AARON HERE, HE'S GOING TO GO ORIGINALLY ECONOMIC DATA FOR YOU.
AS WE TOLD Y'ALL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THIS WHOLE PROJECT HAS BEEN A MARKET-BASED MASTER PLAN.
SO I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE DATA FROM THE MARKET RESEARCH THAT THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, UM, DURING THIS PLAN.
WHAT, WHAT YOU ALL SHARED WITH US IN THAT ONLINE SURVEY IS CRITICAL DATA FOR THIS PLANNING PROCESS.
A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION, WHAT YOU SEE ON THE WALLS HERE ARE, UM, IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU TOLD US ABOUT NEEDS AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER, UM, ABOUT DESIGN, ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE HERE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SURVEY THE INPUT Y'ALL GAVE US AT THE LAST MEETING HAS BEEN CRITICAL FOR THAT.
BUT NOW I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE DOLLARS AND CENTS OF THE MARKET HERE RIGHT NOW.
AND JUST LIKE WHAT RAUL SHARED WITH YOU AS WELL AS REALLY EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE HITTING ON THE NIGHT.
WE'VE GOT A SHORT TIMEFRAME WITH YOU IN THIS PRESENTATION TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE DETAIL OF WHAT WE'VE LEARNED.
THERE'S A TON OF WHAT WE GATHERED, BUT REST ASSURED THAT NOT ONLY WILL YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THAT INFORMATION, BUT WHEN WE BREAK OUT, YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE MORE SPECIFIC DETAIL OF THAT.
SO MARKETING MOUSE IS MARKET RESEARCH.
FIRST THING WE LOOKED AT IS DEMOGRAPHICS AND IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN'T SEE EVERYTHING ON THE SLIDE, IT'S ON OUR BOARDS.
AS I MENTIONED, UM, SOME OF THIS THAT I'LL TELL YOU, YOU'LL BE LIKE, WELL, GOSH, THAT'S OBVIOUS AND OTHERS, YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, OKAY, I DIDN'T QUITE KNOW THAT.
BUT THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IS YOU ALL, AS A COUNTY HAVE EXPERIENCED INCREDIBLY RAPID GROWTH, UH, 14% FROM 10 LAST CENSUS THROUGH ESTIMATED THE 2022, RIGHT NOW THAT'S A LOT.
UM, THE, THE COUNTY ITSELF, IF WE COMPARE YOU ALL TO ALL THE OTHER COUNTIES AND COMMUNITIES AROUND YOU, ALL, YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST INCOMES.
YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST HOME VALUES.
YOU HAVE HIGHER EDUCATION LEVELS THAN MOST OF THE COUNTIES THAT SURROUND YOU.
AND YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT OLDER, UM, THAN MOST OF THE COUNTIES THAT SURROUND YOU.
I THINK YOUR MEDIAN AGE IS 50.
SO I'M ABOVE THE MEDIAN AGE HERE, BUT FAST-GROWTH A WEALTHIER COMMUNITY WHEN WE COMPARE YOU TO THE OTHER AREAS.
NOW, OF COURSE, WE CAN'T JUST LOOK AT THE COUNTY.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS STUDY AREA, WHICH IS CENTERVILLE.
UM, THE CENTERVILLE AREA, DAVID SHARED WITH YOU, THE, THE ACTUAL BOUNDARY OF WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THAT MAP THERE IN THE BLUE OUTLINE, THERE'S ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE THAT LIVE 2047.
PEOPLE ESTIMATED THAT LIVE IN THAT STUDY AREA TODAY.
IT'S NOT A HECK OF A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IF WE LOOK AT JUST 15 MINUTES FROM HERE, 15 MINUTE DRIVE TIME FROM WHERE WE ARE HERE RIGHT NOW, THERE'S 192,000 PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA.
AND YES WE KNOW WHERE ON THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO ONE OF THE LARGER METROS, LARGE METRO IN, IN VIRGINIA.
BUT THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE A, THAT MARKET, WHETHER THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR MIGHT BE WORKING HERE OR WHERE THEY MAY BE CONSUMERS WHO ARE SHOPPING HERE, OR WHETHER THEY'RE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVE IN THE METRO.
AND THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT LIVING HERE THAT CLOSE TO 200,000 PEOPLE IS THAT LOCAL MARKET THAT IS RELEVANT TO THIS, THIS STUDY AREA.
SO IF WE THINK ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE, THAT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT, WELL CLOSE TO 200,000 PEOPLE IS A LOT.
THAT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE, OBVIOUSLY HOUSING.
THAT'S WHAT WE SEE A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS AREA.
UM, THE COUNTY MEDIAN HOUSING VALUE RIGHT NOW, OR 2020, THE LAST CENSUS
[00:20:01]
WAS A $484,000 POOR PER UNIT FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSE.THAT'S HIGH AND CENTERVILLE IS $610,000.
SO CENTERVILLE IS EVEN HIGHER THAN THE COUNTY.
THAT'S THE DARK BLUE LINE THERE ON THAT MAP OR THAT, UH, CHART ON THE UPPER, RIGHT? YOU'RE BY, FOR THE HIGHEST IN THE ENTIRE REGION, 88% OF YOUR HOUSING IS OWNER OCCUPIED HOUSING, UM, WITHIN, WITHIN OUR STUDY AREA.
AND THEN 83% IS SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED VERSUS LIKE MULTIFAMILY AND OTHER TYPES OF USES.
NOW WE'LL LOOK AT CENSUS DATA, BUT WE ALSO LOOK AT MORE REAL TIME MARKET.
SO WE LOOK AT REALTOR, WE LOOK AT, UM, REALTORS, WE LOOK AT ASSOCIATIONS, WE LOOK AT THE MLS, WE LOOK AT ZILLOW, ALL OF THOSE ARE REALLY GOOD.
REAL-TIME INDICATORS OF YOUR MARKET.
AND A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS NUMBER ONE, UM, HOUSING VALUES.
THERE'S BEEN 11% GROWTH YEAR OVER YEAR.
SO SINCE LAST YEAR TALKING ABOUT $610,000 AS OUR MEDIAN HOUSING VALUE, THAT SHOT UP ABOUT 11% OVER THE LAST YEAR THAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
UM, IT'S, IT'S FASTER GROWTH HERE IN TERMS OF HOME VALUES.
UM, YOU'VE GOT A NUMBER OF 55 PLUS, UH, AGE COMMUNITIES HERE IN YOUR REGION.
YOU ALSO HAVE VERY LIMITED RENTAL AND THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE.
UM, YOU DO CERTAINLY HAVE WITHIN OUR STUDY OR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN WEST CREEK, WE DO HAVE SOME RENTAL HOUSING, SOME REALLY NICE LUXURY, MORE LUXURY TYPE APARTMENTS.
UM, IF WE LOOK AT THAT, THE MEDIAN VALUE, ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS RIGHT NOW, EXCUSE ME, THE MEDIAN RENT, ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT $1,100 PER MONTH.
COUNTY-WIDE WITHIN CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
IT'S MORE LIKE 1700 TO $2,300 A MONTH.
AGAIN, THAT'S BASED OFF OF OUR EXISTING, UM, RENTAL PROPERTIES THAT WE HAVE HERE IN CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
AND THEN FINALLY, IN TERMS OF HOUSING, WE, WE, WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE.
AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY, UM, IF PEOPLE ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING COSTS, SO THAT'S RENT UTILITIES, THAT SORT OF THING.
IF THEY'RE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THAT, THEY'RE CONSIDERED TO BE CALLED BART IN YOUR COUNTY.
UH, 33% OF RENTERS HERE ARE COST-BURDENED.
SO ABOUT A THIRD OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE SPENDING PROBABLY BEYOND THEIR MAINS ON HOUSING IN TERMS OF RENTAL PROPERTY.
UM, THAT'S A, THAT'S A HIGHER NUMBER THAN WE OFTEN SEE.
UM, IT'S NOT THE HIGHEST THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF BY THE SAME TOKEN.
IT'S NOT JUST RENTERS WHO CAN BE COST-BURDENED HOMEOWNER.
IT'S SOMEBODY THAT HAS A $700,000 HOME CAN ABSOLUTELY BE SPENDING BEYOND THEIR MEANS AS WELL.
BUT 18% OF YOUR HOMEOWNERS ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING COSTS.
18% ARE CONSIDERED TO BE COST BURDEN.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LARGE NUMBER, NEARLY A FIFTH OF OUR HOMEOWNERS ARE COST BURDEN.
UM, AND THAT IS A HIGHER NUMBER, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT I SEE IN COMMUNITIES LIKE YOURS.
BUT AGAIN, THINGS THAT WE JUST NEED TO BE AWARE OF.
WE ALSO LOOKED AT RETAIL AGAIN, TONS, MORE DETAIL ON THESE BOARDS.
WHEN WE FINISH UP HERE, THE MAIN STUDY WITH RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL IS A SUPPLY AND DEMAND STUDY.
SO WE COMPARE WITHIN OUR GEOGRAPHY WITHIN OUR CENTREVILLE AREA OR WITHIN OUR 15 MINUTE DRIVE TIME WITHIN THAT GEOGRAPHY, WHAT STORES ARE SELLING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO WHAT CONSUMERS WHO LIVE IN THAT GEOGRAPHY ARE PURCHASING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
SO WITH RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THAT GEOGRAPHY ARE PURCHASING MORE THAN THE STORES THAT EXIST IN THAT GEOGRAPHY ARE SELLING.
THAT MEANS DOLLARS ARE LEAKING.
THEY'RE GOING OUT TO OTHER AREAS BECAUSE THAT PARTICULAR GOOD OR SERVICE ISN'T LOCATED HERE IN, IN THIS COMMUNITY, UM, WITHIN YOUR LOCAL TRADE AREA THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE, UH, THAT, THAT 15 MINUTE DRIVE TIME, EVEN WITH PROBABLY ONE OF THE MAJORS, NOT THE MAJOR COMMERCIAL MAGNET AND ALL THE, UH, RICHMOND METRO BEING THE SHORT PUMP ISH AREA, YOU KNOW, THAT AREA, UH, THAT'S KIND OF COMING OVER HERE IN THIS PART OF EIGHT EASTERN GOOCHLAND COUNTY IN THAT LOCAL TRADE AREA, $650 MILLION LAST YEAR LEAKED.
THAT MEANS CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO GO OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA FOR THOSE PARTICULAR GOODS AND SERVICES, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT HERE NOW, SOME OF THE KEY CATEGORIES, UM, THAT I CAN'T REALLY SEE, HOLD ON.
SOME OF THE KEY CATEGORIES THAT SHOWED THE MOST LEAKAGE OR OPPORTUNITY ARE RESTAURANTS, BEER AND WINE STORES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY, BUT
[00:25:01]
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY DEMAND FOR THAT HERE.THE HARDWARE STORES SEE THAT A LOT.
AND WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF HOUSING GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES, UH, ESPECIALLY FEW, UH, FOOD PHARMACIES AND DRUG STORES AS WELL, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ONES THAT SHOW, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE KEY CATEGORIES IS SHOW OPPORTUNITY.
NOW WE TAKE THAT LEAKAGE AND WE TRANSLATE THAT BASED OFF OF THE AVERAGE, UH, DOLLARS THAT ARE PER SQUARE FOOT, THEY'RE SPENDING THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF SUPPORTABLE COMMERCE HERE TODAY RIGHT NOW? AND I'LL TELL YOU, WE DO A VERY, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CAPTURE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF DOLLARS THAT ARE LEAVING YOUR AREA.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE ALL THOSE $650 MILLION THAT ARE LEAVING YOUR AREA AND THAT'S OKAY.
SO WE DO A VERY CONSERVATIVE SCENARIO, UM, LOOKING AT A PERCENTAGE OF THAT, THAT WE CAN RECAPTURE THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, REMARKETING THROUGH BUSINESS RECRUITMENT.
AND WE'RE SHOWING THAT THROUGH 2045 WITH THE EXISTING POPULATION THAT WE HAVE HERE, THE EXISTING DEMAND HERE THAT WE HAVE HERE, PLUS THE PROJECTED, UH, RESIDENTIAL GROWTH THAT WILL HAPPEN IN CENTERVILLE AREA OVER THE NEXT 23 YEARS TO 2045.
UM, WE SHOW UP TO ABOUT 227,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL DEMAND THAT ULTIMATELY COULD BE ACCOMMODATED HERE.
AND I SAY THAT TO SAY, WE INTENTIONALLY DO CONSERVATIVE SCENARIOS.
THE REALITY IS IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN THAT.
AS THIS AREA GROWS, THE MAN WILL GROW.
THERE WILL BE MORE DEMAND FOR COMMERCIAL.
UM, BUT, BUT BASED ON OUR TYPICAL, UH, SCENARIOS THAT WE RUN, WE'RE SHOWING THAT PARTICULAR NUMBER HERE.
AND OF COURSE, THAT IS REFLECTED IN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER.
AND THEN FINALLY IT VERY QUICKLY IS EMPLOYMENT.
NONE OF THIS WILL BE SURPRISING TO YOU, BUT ONCE, ONCE THAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME.
SO GOOCHLAND COUNTY, YOU ALL ARE, UM, YOU, YOU ARE A NET IMPORTER OF JOBS.
TWO TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE COME INTO THE COUNTY ON A DAILY BASIS TO WORK THAT GO OUT OF THE COUNTY AND COMMUTE OUTSIDE OF THE CANAL, THE COUNTY, UM, THERE'S ABOUT, I FORGET THE NUMBER IT'S IT'S ON HERE, BUT I THINK THERE'S ABOUT 22,000 ISH JOBS IN GOOCHLAND COUNTY.
THE QUOTE ME ON THAT IT'S OVER THERE, BUT I DO KNOW THIS IN OUR, UH, CENTERVILLE STUDY AREA, WHICH, UM, ADMITTEDLY, THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE SMALLEST GEOGRAPHY I CAN LOOK AT IS THE ZIP CODE, WHICH THE ZIP CODE DOES PRETTY MUCH INCLUDE THE ENTIRE WEST CREEK AREA.
SO IT DOES GO OUTSIDE OF OSHA, SMALLER BOUNDARY, BUT STILL, UM, IN THAT ZIP CODE 13,000 JOBS, ACCORDING TO THE, THE LAST, UH, THE CENSUS, UH, EXISTS IN THAT AREA, THAT'S TWO THIRDS OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY'S JOBS ARE IN THIS ONE ZIP CODE.
UM, AND THEN FINALLY, COMMUNITY PATTERNS.
THIS WILL NOT BE SHOCKING TO ANY OF YOU, PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE THAT WORK OUTSIDE 8%, 18% OF THEM ARE GOING TO RICHMOND.
UM, 7% ARE GOING TO
EVERYBODY'S JUST KIND OF GOING EAST AND NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST.
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KNOW WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE STUDIES AND THESE DESIGNS, WHERE'S THAT TRAFFIC GOING OUTSIDE OF OUR TOWN OR OUR STUDY OR ON A DAILY BASIS.
AND THEN WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM AS THEY COME INTO THIS AREA ON, ON A DAILY BASIS.
SO THAT'S THE MARKET RESEARCH.
AND AS I MENTIONED, THERE'S TONS MORE DATA OVER HERE THAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING WITH Y'ALL WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL HAVE AFTER THIS MEETING.
THE NEXT THING THAT WE DID, AND NOW THIS IS TRANSITIONING FROM THE DATA SIDE TO THE COMMUNITY CHARACTER SIDE.
AND LIKE I SAID, WHAT DAVID IS GETTING READY TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL IS LOADS OF INFORMATION ABOUT COMMUNITY, CHARACTER AND DESIGN.
UM, BUT ALSO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS CREATING A BRAND IDENTITY FOR THE CENTERVILLE AREA, A WAY THAT WE CAN SOLIDIFY THE CHARACTER THAT YOU HOLD DEAR ABOUT THIS PLACE, BUT ALSO GIVE AN IDENTITY TO THE PLACE THAT WE CAN USE TO PROMOTE THE BUSINESSES THAT EXIST HERE IN THE CENTERVILLE AREA.
OR CERTAINLY IF WE ARE TRYING TO RECRUIT NEW INVESTMENT INTO THE AREA, UM, HOW CAN WE PROMOTE THAT THERE? SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH COMMUNITY BRANDING.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS BASED OFF OF THIS IS GRAPHIC DESIGN, BUT IT'S BASED OFF OF THE DATA THAT YOU ALL SHARED WITH US IN THESE MEETINGS AND THE SURVEY THAT WE HELD PREVIOUSLY, THAT ROSS WENT OVER.
SO THE FIRST THING IS, IS A BRAND IS NOT SIMPLY A LOGO AS PART OF A SYSTEM RIGHT NOW, THE COUNTY HAS A LOGO FOR ITSELF.
Y'ALL SEEN THIS, IT'S THE GAUGE LINN COUNTY LOGO, THE CIRCULAR LOGO RIGHT THERE.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A PRETTY DETAILED TECHNICAL STYLE GUIDE THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.
SO, AS I MENTIONED, A BRAND'S NOT JUST LOGO.
WE WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING FOR CENTERVILLE VILLAGE,
[00:30:01]
AS WELL AS THE OTHER VILLAGES HERE IN THE COUNTY THAT TIES INTO THIS EXISTING PALLET THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY CREATED.THE DESIGN PALETTE, THE COLOR PALETTE, THE TYPOGRAPHY, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO STITCH TOGETHER THIS BRAND SYSTEM.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TO START WITH.
THAT'S ALL THE TECHNICAL THINGS OF THE PEACHLAND COUNTY BRAND.
WE SELECTED SOME VERY, UM, SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OF THAT FOR THE LOGO THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU HERE IN A SECOND.
SO WE SAMPLED COLOR PALETTES FROM THE COUNTY.
WE USE TYPEFACES FROM THE EXISTING SYSTEM, BUT WE ALSO ADDED SOME COMPLIMENTARY TYPEFACES, UM, TO, TO REALLY HELP WITH THE EXPANDABILITY, UM, THAT CIRCULAR LOGO, THAT AUDITION SCENE WITH THE COUNTY THAT IS REFLECTED HERE.
AND WHEN I'M GETTING READY TO SHARE WITH YOU IS VERY IMPORTANT.
AND WE WANTED TO BUILD SOMETHING, AS I MENTIONED, THAT FITS INTO THE COUNTY SYSTEM, BUT IT'S ALSO UNIQUE TO CENTERVILLE ITSELF.
UM, SO, UH, WITH THAT, WE START WITH A BRAND POSITION, A MARKET POSITION.
WHAT'S OUR STORY, WHAT MAKES CENTERVILLE SPECIAL PLACE? AND THIS IS A HUNDRED PERCENT WHAT YOU ALL TOLD US THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.
SO THERE'S AN ART MARKET POSITION FOR CENTERVILLE VILLAGE CENTERVILLE VILLAGE.
IT'S A VIBRANT DYNAMIC COMMUNITY WITH A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE.
IT HAS EXCEPTIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND IT'S AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE TO LIVE FOR NEW RESIDENTS.
IT'S ALSO ATTRACTIVE FOR NEW INVESTMENT.
WE'VE GOT QUALITY, HIGH-END COMMERCE, THAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
UM, WE'VE GOT GREAT EMPLOYERS THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE IN THE CENTERVILLE AREA, AS WELL AS MEDICAL.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR KEY EMPLOYERS ON THE EASTERN END OF OUR STUDY AREA.
STILL WITH THAT INVESTMENT, WITH THAT GROWTH, WITH THIS DYNAMIC VILLAGE THAT WE HAVE HERE.
UM, WE STILL RETAIN THAT RURAL CHARACTER.
I KNOW FROM TALKING TO SOME PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM BEFORE THIS MEETING, THAT'S WHAT DREW YOU HERE TO LIVE HERE, THAT RURAL CHARACTER.
UM, WE'VE GOT THESE GREAT ROLLING HILLS.
WE'VE GOT THESE PASTURES, WE'VE GOT THESE TREES GOT WOODEN FENCES HERE.
THERE'S DEFINITELY A REAL, UH, RURAL CHARACTER THAT YOU HAVE, PARTICULARLY AS YOU GO MORE TOWARDS THE CENTER OF CENTERVILLE AND OVER TO THE, TO THE WEST, UM, YOU STILL WERE TRYING TO RE UH, RETAIN THAT.
AND THEN FINALLY, LOTS OF TIMES Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT BEING ADJACENT TO A MORE URBAN AREA AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE MIGHT HAVE WITH TRAFFIC AND GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, JUST FIVE MINUTES, 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM US, UM, IN, IN THE AREA THAT'S JUST, UH, THERE IN, IN THE WESTERN PART OF HENRICO COUNTY, UM, YOU ARE A WELCOME BRIGHT.
YOU ARE A WELCOME BREAK FROM THAT PACE, HENRICO AND RICHMOND, EVEN WITH THE DYNAMIC NATURE AND GROWTH THAT YOU CAN.
SO ALL THAT ROLLS INTO THAT OVERARCHING MESSAGE OF CENTERVILLE VILLAGE, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
SO THAT'S THAT MARKETING MESSAGE.
AND THEN FINALLY, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HERE IS THE LOGO SYSTEM ITSELF.
AGAIN, IT'S A BRAND IS NOT JUST A LOGO, IT'S IT IS THAT INITIAL GRAPHIC, BUT IT'S HOW IT EXPANDS AND HOW IT'S IMPLEMENTED, WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE.
UM, IT DOES HAVE THAT CIRCULAR, UH, CONTEXT THAT THE COUNTY LOGO HAS.
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT USES THOSE SAME, OR AT LEAST SAMPLES FROM THOSE SAME COLORS FROM THE COUNTY LOGO.
BUT THERE'S OTHER FEW NUANCES HERE, UM, THAT HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY SPEAK TO YOU AS RESIDENTS OF THIS PLEDGE.
FIRST IS THAT THAT A TAGLINE OF A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND WHAT THAT MEANS TO THIS COMMUNITY AND WHAT, WHAT DRAWS DREW YOU ALL HERE? THE SECOND THING IS, IS WE INTENTIONALLY USED A SOFTER FONT FOR THE CENTERVILLE NAME.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED HERE IS THAT PEOPLE CALL THIS AREA A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
THEY MAY CALL IT MANNEQUINS SABOT.
WE DO KNOW THAT CENTERVILLE IS A HISTORIC NAME HERE.
UM, WE KNOW THAT THAT'S THE NAME OF OUR VILLAGE.
WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO DRIVE THAT NAME HOME LET'S SOLIDIFY.
CENTERVILLE IS THE PLACE THAT PEOPLE ARE IN.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CHANGE NAMES OF, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT EXIST HERE WITHIN OUR AREA, BUT WE WANT IT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO CENTERVILLE.
AND THEN THE LAST THING IS THE GRAPHIC ITSELF.
YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THERE.
ONE IS THE, THE GREEN SORT OF CHECK, MARK, SWITCH, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.
THAT'S REPRESENTING THE, THAT THOSE ROLLING HILLS THAT YOU HAVE IN THE AREA.
THE OTHER THING IS THE FENCE AND THE FENCE LINE.
AND THERE'S TWO THINGS ABOUT THAT.
NUMBER ONE, AGAIN, WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO VERY FAR AWAY FROM WHERE WE'RE SITTING RIGHT NOW TO SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL ROLLING PASTURES AND THESE FARM FENCES AND HORSE SENSES.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE A LITTLE GATEWAY SIGN THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR MEDIAN THAT, UH, ALSO REFLECTS THAT WITH THE STONE WORK WITH THAT FIST, THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT YOU SEE HERE IN THIS LOGO.
SO THEN WE LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN EXPAND IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE FOUR-COLOR LOGO WAS HOW IT WOULD
[00:35:01]
BE USED MOST OF THE TIME, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CREATE ONE COLOR AND TWO COLOR VARIATIONS OR ICONS WITHOUT THE T THE COMMUNITY'S NAME IN IT.UM, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS WHERE THAT MIGHT MAKE SENSE.
WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN APPLY IT.
YOU'VE GOT A BIG, GIANT BILLBOARD, RIGHT? AS YOU COME INTO, UM, THE, THE, THIS AREA THAT ALREADY SAYS CENTERVILLE ON IT.
WELL, HEY, THAT'S THE FIRST PLACE THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT PUTTING THIS LOGO? UM, I MENTIONED THE FENCE THAT'S THERE.
THAT WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE LOGO.
YOU CAN PROBABLY IT BETTER ON SOME OF OUR OTHER, UH, ILLUSTRATIONS LATER, BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE MEDIAN, THERE WOULD JUST APPLY THE LOGO TO IT.
NAIL THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S ABOUT HALFWAY INTO CENTERVILLE AREA.
WE FEEL LIKE THAT Y'ALL SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL GATEWAY SIGN, MORE TOWARDS THE COUNTY LINE OVER TO THE EAST.
AND WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS A BIGGER VERSION OF THAT SAME SIGN.
AND WE'LL PROBABLY BOTH BE IN THE OFF OF THE RIGHT OF WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT AS YOU'RE COMING INTO THE COUNTY, BUT IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SIGNIFICANT THINGS LIKE THE FARMER'S MARKET, TAKING GRAPHIC ELEMENTS OF, OF THAT, THAT OVERARCHING PALETTE AND APPLYING IT TO THINGS THAT EXIST HERE RIGHT NOW, LIKE THE FARMER'S MARKET OR THINGS THAT DON'T EXIST HERE JUST YET, THERE MIGHT BE A NEW EVENT.
THERE MIGHT BE A NEW DESTINATION THAT YOU ALL ENVISIONED THROUGH THIS PROCESS, OR MAYBE FIVE OR 10 YEARS FROM NOW THAT CAN, CAN REALLY BE PLUGGED INTO THIS.
YOUR FARMER'S MARKET RIGHT NOW IS CALLED THE MANNEQUIN FARMER'S MARKET.
UM, IT'S ALREADY GOT AN ESTABLISHED LOGO.
IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT REPRESENTS THAT, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY ASK US IF YOU'LL KEEP THE EXISTING LOGO.
WE'RE JUST SHOWING AN ILLUSTRATION HOW WE CAN TIE THAT IN TO THE COMMUNITY BRAND.
AND BY THE SAME TOKEN, IF WE DO THAT, PERHAPS WE THINK ABOUT CALLING IT THE CENTERVILLE FARMER'S MARKET AS WELL, TO ESTABLISH THAT AS OUR DESTINATION.
ALL RIGHT, SO THIS DOESN'T EXIST HERE RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S A DOG PARK OVER IN THE COURTHOUSE VILLAGE AREA, IF YOU ALL.
AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE SURVEY.
IF YOU ALL WANT A DOG PARK HERE, IF YOU DO NOT CALL IT PITCH ISLAND DOG PARK, THEN I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, WE FAILED, IT'S GOT TO BE CALLED THAT.
SO, UM, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF THAT LOGO FUNDING.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE SOME BETTER EXAMPLES OF THIS, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF DESTINATIONS PUBLIC DESTINATIONS IN THE, UH, THE STUDY AREA RIGHT NOW, THERE WILL BE PERHAPS SOMETIMES IN THE FUTURE AS YOUR, YOUR AREA CONTINUES TO GROW.
BUT WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS A POLE MOUNTED GATEWAY SIGN.
I SHOWED THAT LARGER, SIGNIFICANT GATEWAY SIGN.
THIS POLL MAN OF GATEWAY SIGN COULD BE IN SOME SECONDARY GATEWAYS, AS WELL AS THE SIGN ON THE RIGHT IS DESTINATIONAL SIGNS.
TURN THIS WAY TO GO TO THIS, TO, TO THE, YOU KNOW, PEACH LAND, UM, TURN THAT WAY TO GO TO THE FARMER'S MARKET.
THOSE SORTS OF THINGS, BANNERS, BANNERS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IN A DYNAMIC WE'RE SHOWING SOMETHING THAT'S VERY STRATEGIC HERE ON THE LEFT.
YOU SEE SOME TYPICAL, SMALLER, MORE PEDESTRIAN BASED SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT SEE IN SOME OF YOUR DEVELOPMENTS AS THEY HAPPEN HERE, THAT YOU SEE OFTEN IN MORE DOWNTOWN ENVIRONMENTS AND OTHER PLACES.
WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT LONG BRAWL THAT THIS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER SPEED, WE TO ANNOUNCE THE PEAK LEARN SPECIAL PLACE ON THE RIGHT.
WE'RE SUGGESTING MUCH LARGER ABOUT TWICE AS TALL BANNERS THAT WILL GO ALONG THAT CORRIDOR TO REALLY ANNOUNCE THAT PEOPLE ARE IN THE SPECIAL PLACE, AND THEN NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAILS OF THIS, BUT THIS WAS ONE THAT WE SHARED WITH THE OTHER VILLAGE, THE COURTHOUSE VILLAGE, AND YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, OUR THOUGHT PROCESS ABOUT HOW WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE THINGS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THE DIFFERENT VILLAGES AND THEIR CHARACTER, UM, BUT ALSO CONNECT TO THAT LARGER SYSTEM.
AND WITH THAT, LET'S TURN IT BACK OVER TODAY.
NOW, UH, WHILE, UH, WHILE AARON WAS LOOKING AT ECONOMICS AND ROSS WAS ASKING PEOPLE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, WE STARTED LOOKING AGAIN AT, AT THE ORIGINAL SIMON, WHICH WAS, UH, THE LAND USE PLAN THAT WE HAD BEEN PROVIDED.
AND THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE COMPETENCE PLAN, AND THIS IS GENERALLY NOT GUIDELINE FOR, FOR GROWTH.
UM, AND, AND REMEMBER, LAST TIME WHEN I SAW YOU GUYS OVER AT THE OTHER CHURCH, YOU YOU'VE MENTIONED TO ME A LOT OF THINGS.
IT WAS REALLY MY VERY FIRST DAY EVER AT CENTERVILLE.
AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET TO THE DIFFERENT CORNERS OF THIS MAP EVER SINCE TO TRY TO SEE SOME OF THESE THINGS ON THE GROUND.
ONE OF THE VERY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS, UM,
[00:40:01]
THIS KIND OF, UM, BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ME TO, TO GRASP.AND I FINALLY PUT IT INTO THIS KIND OF SHAPE FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A GOOGLE MAP WITH, UH, WITH THE CENTERVILLE BOUNDARY, BUT, BUT TRYING TO THINK ABOUT HOW BIG IT REALLY IS.
AND SO, UH, SO WE, WE TOOK, UH, SOMETHING THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH, BUT JUST RICHMOND AND PUT THE SAME BOUNDARY ON RICHMOND.
AND JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA OF THE SIZE OF THIS VILLAGE, UM, IF YOU TOOK THAT BOUNDARY, THIS IS, THIS IS EYES 64 95.
THIS IS RIGHT DOWNTOWN WITH CAPITOL ROSE, AND THIS IS TARRYTOWN HERE.
IT WOULD BE JUST AS DAY ALL THE WAY FROM THE JAMES RIVER, ALL THE WAY UP TO VCU.
IT'S AN ENORMOUS PIECE OF GRANT, RIGHT? THE VILLAGE OF RICHMOND, THE VILLAGES, IT'S A HUGE PIECE OF GROUND.
SO IT'S LIKE PUT THIS TOGETHER JUST TO SHOW YOU A COMPARISON.
AND IT PROBABLY, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE ABOUT RICHMOND THAN I DID, BUT FOR ME, THAT IS A REALLY BIG AREA AND KIND OF HARD TO THINK ABOUT WALKING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, IN A FEW MINUTES, IT IS IT'S AN ALL DAY KIND OF THING.
SO, SO I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT HERE WE ARE BACK TO OUR GOOGLE MAP, LET'S TRY TO THINK, OKAY, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A REALLY BIG VILLAGE.
AND ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A VILLAGE IS, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO WALK FROM ONE SIDE OF THE OTHER WITHOUT A LOT OF TROUBLE.
SO WE STARTED THINKING ABOUT MORE FOCUSED AND THIS AREA WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE WALKABLE VILLAGE.
THIS IS A SORT OF CENTRAL PIECE OF THIS.
AND SO LET'S START TO LOOK AT A COMPARISON OF THIS, UM, THAT THIS PART WITH THE DASH LINE AROUND IT.
UH, THIS IS A COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'VE FOUNDED AS THE WALKABLE VILLAGE ON THE LEFT AND OVER ON THE RIGHT IS THE SAME SIZE OF PALATINE VILLAGE.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY LAST TIME I WAS, YES.
IF YOU COULD GO LOOK AT THIS STUDY POUND HANDS, THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING CHARACTERISTICS.
AND SO YOU CAN WALK REALLY FROM, UM, FROM THE MAIN ROAD IN TO THE DOWNTOWN COURTHOUSE AND JUST A LITTLE FARTHER BEHIND YOU CAN SORT OF GET THAT FEELING OF ABOUT A 15, 20 MINUTE WALK IT'S IT'S MANAGED.
SO WE TOOK THAT IDEA BACK TO THE, TO THE STUDY AREA AND, AND THOUGHT, OKAY, WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK.
UM, BUT THIS IS ONLY A MORE COMPLEX.
IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF SAY EVEN THE COURTHOUSE VILLAGE AS A COMPARISON, IT'S A MUCH BIGGER PIECE OF GROUND.
AND THEN WE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT ONE OTHER THING, WHICH IS PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ANSWER THE SURVEY THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS VILLAGE TO HAVE SOME, SOME PUBLIC THINGS IN, AT SOME RECREATION SPACE, SOME PUBLIC SPACES.
AND SO WE, WE MADE, WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION HERE THAT WE ACTUALLY EXPAND THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE SOUTH BECAUSE THE COUNTY OWNS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE PIECE OF GROUND THERE THAT COULD SOMEDAY BE A PUBLIC PLACE LIKE A PARK OR MAYBE A SCHOOL OR SOMETHING, BUT A BIG PIECE OF PUBLIC GROUND THAT WOULD HELP THE IDENTITY OF THE VILLAGE.
YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THAT WAS CENTERVILLE THAT FILL IN THE BLANK PARTS THAT HAVE BUILD SCHOOL, BUT WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, BUT A GREAT BIG PIECE OF PUBLIC GROUND INSIDE THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY.
SO IT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD IDEA.
SO THAT'S A PROPOSAL THAT WE'VE, THAT WE'RE MAKING TONIGHT.
NEXT PART OF THIS IS SOME OF THE VISUAL AND SPATIAL CHARACTER.
AND, UM, IF YOU THINK YOUR, YOUR VISIT TO US LAST TIME WAS A WASTE OF TIME.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES, BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT IT REALLY WASN'T.
UH, UH, AND THIS REALLY RELATES TO THE, THE, UH, WORD CLOUDS THAT ROSS HAD UP THERE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN IT SAID QUAINT, RURAL, UH, QUIET, ET CETERA.
MY FIRST TRIP TO CENTERVILLE WAS SORT OF DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE BIG ROAD.
AND IT DIDN'T REALLY HIT ME THAT WAY.
I MUST ADMIT, BUT YOU GUYS SAID, NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET OFF THAT BIG ROAD AND YOU GOT TO GO LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER.
AND SO, SO, UH, YOU KNOW, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE TRIED TO DO THAT AND GET AWAY FROM THE BIG BOAT AND YOU GET OUT JUST A MILE OR SO, OR EVEN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS.
IN SOME CASES FROM THE BIG ROAD, I STARTED TO GET THE IMAGES THAT YOU GUYS WERE TELLING ROSS, THE QUALITIES OF THIS PLACE, YOU KNOW, YOU GET THE BIG TREES, YOU GET THE FIELDS, YOU GET THE, THE FENCES.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST ONE, BUT THERE'S A REALLY SPIKING CENTRAL VIRGINIA, YOU KNOW, IT IT'S DIFFERENT.
AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU, WE'RE GOING TO BRING THIS INTO THE PLANT.
AND, UH, AND EVEN IF YOU GET OFF THE BIGGER ROADS AND WE GET ON THE LITTLE ROADS THAT EVEN GETS BETTER.
AND SO, UH, SOME OF THE CHARACTERS REALLY THERE, AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, EVEN, UH, EVEN
[00:45:01]
SOME BUSINESSES ARE JUST REALLY KIND OF COOL AND DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE.AND SO, SO I'VE TRIED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT USERS WERE TELLING US IN THE SURVEY, AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE THESE THREE OR FOUR SLIDES AS BUILDING BLOCKS AS I START TO SHOW YOU THE PLAN.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S JUST BEEN MY OWN OBSERVATION IS THAT BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN FARMLAND FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS, THERE ARE, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THE FENCE ROWS OR IN SOME CASES, SINGLE ENORMOUS TREES THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE CHARACTER OF THIS VILLAGE.
AND, AND, UH, AND I BELIEVE IF WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DOCUMENT SOME OF THESE, BECAUSE IT MAY BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO RETAIN SOME OF THIS, BECAUSE I SORT OF SAY, LOOK, I'VE BEEN HERE A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS.
AND IT'S NOT EVERYWHERE THAT YOU SEE THIS.
SO, SO, UM, AS A, AS A PLANNER, AS A LANDSCAPE TO BE CONSTRUCT A DOCUMENT WHERE THESE THINGS ARE, THIS IS HARD TO SEE.
AND THEN FROM THAT, FROM WHERE YOU ARE, BUT YOU KNOW, WHERE SOME OF THESE SENTENCE LINES ARE, YOU CAN START TO DOCUMENT SOME OF THOSE DOCUMENTS, SOME OF THESE OPEN SPACES AND USE THOSE AS SOME OF THE BUILDING BLOCKS SO THAT WHEN YOU START TO PLAN, YOU CAN NOT PRESERVE SOME OF THESE RESOURCES.
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH SPACE.
SO, SO NOW I'LL TALK TO START TEACHING YOU GUYS HOW TO SEE THINGS LIKE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS.
WE'LL SEE THINGS LIKE THIS, THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, BUT YOU START TO DOCUMENT SOME OF THESE THINGS IN A LANDSCAPE LIKE WHERE THE WATER TOWER IS, WHERE THE INTROS ARE, UH, WHERE SOME OF THE THINGS ARE THAT YOU WANT TO PRESERVE.
AND MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO HIDE, IT HELPS YOU TO KIND OF BUILD A GRAPHIC LANGUAGE OF THEN HOW TO BUILD YOUR VILLAGE.
AND SO, SO WHAT, WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS DIAGRAM IS, UM, I'LL SHOW YOU THAT THIS IS 2 88, UM, SORRY, LET ME BACK UP TO 88 HERE ON THE EASTERN SIDE.
AND THEN YOU GO ACROSS A LARGE FLOOD PLAIN AREA.
AND THEN THIS MIGHT BE A REALLY INTERESTING PLACE FOR ONE IN STATEWIDE SIGNS THAT, UH, ERIN WAS MENTIONING ALSO, UH, SIMPLE CROSSROADS THE PENCIL, AND THEN I'VE GOT THE WEST END NEAR SATELLITE, THE PHYSICAL GATEWAY AT THAT POINT, THIS CIRCLE, YOU'LL ALSO SEE, AND IT'S, DON'T SHOW UP IN A LOT OF THE PLANS THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU OVER.
THE NEXT FEW IS A FIVE MINUTE WALK.
IT'S A FIVE MINUTE WALK FROM THE CENTER OF THAT CIRCLE TO THE OUTSIDE.
AND IF IT'S INTERESTING, PEOPLE WILL DO A FIVE MINUTE WALK AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
UH, IF IT'S DOLL MY WON'T, BUT ANYWAY, IT'S A SET FIVE, FIVE MINUTE WALK CIRCLES REALLY IMPORTANT.
SO LET'S START TO THINK ABOUT BUILDING A VILLAGE USING THOSE THINGS.
I JUST TALKED TO YOU ABOUT ONE AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW THIS WORKS.
THE FIVE MINUTE CIRCLE YOU'LL SEE THERE.
UH, ALSO, UH, YOU'LL SEE THIS SORT OF WALKABLE CENTRAL VILLAGE HERE.
WE KNOW THIS LAND USE PLAN IS THE PROPOSAL AND YOU SIGN, IT REALLY RELATES BACK TO THE ONE THAT WE WERE PROVIDED AT THE VERY BEGINNING.
AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A FEW DIFFERENCES.
ONE IS THAT RATHER THAN GIANT SPRAWLS OF COMMERCIAL, WE BREAK THAT UP A LITTLE BIT, SO THAT THERE'S AN AREA AS YOU COME INTO THE YOUNG, THAT'S A COMMERCIAL AREA.
YOU CROSS THE LARGE FLOOD PLAIN, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER KIND OF GATEWAY TO MARSHALL INTO OUR WALKABLE VILLAGE.
THEN THE WALKABLE VILLAGE HERE.
AND THEN THERE IS VERY IMPORTANT ROLE THAT THE NATURAL FLOODPLAINS PROVIDE HERE.
AND THEY ACTUALLY GO AND CONCENTRATE DOWN HERE IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, BUT THEY COME UP THROUGH CROSS TWO 50, KEEP GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE GOLF COURSE AND EVEN BEYOND AND NOT PORT
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT COMES UP AND YOU'LL SEE THIS AS A SUBDIVISION AS WELL GAP BETWEEN THEM BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE LEFT OPEN.
AND THAT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SOUTH SIDE.
SO IMAGINE THESE, UH, THE BUILDING CODES REQUIRE THAT THEY GENERALLY BE LEFT ALONE.
IMAGINE THAT POTENTIAL FOR THESE GREENWAY, UH, CIRCULATION PATHS AND JUST AS OPEN SPACE.
AND THEN, UM, UP IN THE UPPER LEFT, YOU'LL SEE THE GOLF COURSE AREA DOWN HERE IS THAT THE USE OF PLAN, THE COUNTY OWNS, UH, GREEN GREEN AREAS AROUND SOME OF THE LARGER, UH, CIRCULATION PARTNERS, BUT IMAGINE THE IDEA OF A PARKWAY CORRIDOR OR DESIGNATE GREEN SPACE, MAYBE ALONG LESS BROAD STREET, MAYBE EVEN ON SOME OF YOUR PROSTATES.
SO THAT LEADS US SORT OF THE GREAT GREEN LUNGS OF YOUR COMMUNITY AS IT DEVELOPS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO, AND THEN THE ORANGE AND THE YELLOW ARE THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THE GRAY IS THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREAS.
[00:50:01]
THEY WOULD BE LIKE BACK TO THE OLDER LAND USE PLANS.THE BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE, UM, OF THE VILLAGE HERE ARE POTENTIAL GATEWAYS ON THE BIG GREEN.
UH, SO THE FLASHES ARE PRIMARY GATEWAYS, THE SMALLER BLUE ONES, SECONDARY GATEWAYS, AND THAT LARGE WHITE BLUE IS THE WALKABLE VILLAGE AND GIVES AN OUT A DIAGRAM OF, OF ALL THE ROADS THAT ARE THERE AND WHAT YOU MIGHT SUPPLEMENT THE ROADS TO MAKE MORE OF A GRID NETWORK OF ROADS THEY'RE SHOWN IN THE PURPLE.
AND THERE'S ANOTHER DIAGRAM OF, UH, OF, UH, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A WALKABLE VILLAGE.
YOU GOT TO HAVE PLACES TO WALK.
AND SO THESE ARE A POTENTIAL GREENWAY NETWORK AND THEY USE THOSE FLOODPLAIN AREAS AND THEN THEY USE SOME OF THE CARTERS, THE PRINCIPAL STREET CARTERS BESIDE IT.
BUT YOU'LL NOTICE A NUMBER OF LOOPS IN THERE.
IF YOU WANT TO WALK A HALF MILE OR A QUARTER MILE OR THREE OR FOUR MILES, ALL THOSE OPTIONS ARE THERE.
SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE VILLAGE THAT WE'LL SHOW YOU.
NOW, LET ME TALK ABOUT ONE MORE TOPIC, BUDGETS, THE PARKWAY AS LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, PEOPLE TOLD US, YOU KNOW, UH, WEST BROAD STREET RIGHT NOW, YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT MUCH MORE THAN IT CAN BE MUCH MORE OF A PARKWAY.
SO WE WOULDN'T LOOK AT A FEW OFTEN.
WE WOULDN'T LOOK AT THE IT'S US, UH, 2 88.
I BELIEVE IT IS OUT NEAR, UM, THE BRAND OR MILL AREA AND GOT SOME PICTURES OF THAT.
AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH, UM, MEDIANS TREES IN THE MEDIANS, TREES ON THE EDGES OF ROADS, DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT RESTRICT THE SIGNAGE.
AND IT KIND OF MAKES THE BUILDINGS THAT THEY WORK ON THE BUILDINGS AND MAKE THE BUILDINGS WORK WITH THE SIGNAGE, ET CETERA, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU STAND OUT THERE, EVERYTHING'S NICE ABOUT THAT, EXCEPT BEING OUT NEAR THE TRAFFIC, AND IT'S QUITE BUSY AND QUITE NOISY AND NOT A VERY PLEASANT PLACE TO BE ANOTHER PLACE THAT PEOPLE TOLD US ABOUT WAS ACTUALLY THE SAME ROAD YOU HAVE TO SEE, BUT ABOUT AN HOUR WEST, UH, IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY, IT'S ON, UH, JUST EAST OF CHARLOTTESVILLE GOING OVER PAN TOPS MOUNTAINS.
AND THERE'S A REALLY GOOD SET OF GUIDELINES PLACE THERE THAT, UH, THAT DIRECTS THE GROWTH OF THAT ROAD.
AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS IT'S A VERY BUSY STREET, BUT THEY, BUT THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES ARE PLACED UP NEAR THE, NEAR THE SETBACK LINE.
PARKING LOTS, GENERALLY PUSHED BEHIND THOSE BUILDINGS.
AND SO YOU DON'T SEE CARS AND MORE AND MORE CARS AND THEN BUILDINGS, BUT YOU ACTUALLY SEE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AND THE ROADS.
AND THERE'S EVEN A SIDEWALK, UM, BETWEEN, UH, THE ROAD AND THE BUILDING IS KIND OF A GREENWAY IN THERE AND IT MAKES IT A REALLY PLEASANT CAR.
SO IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT FOR YOUR, YOUR ROAD.
WHAT IF YOU SAY, TAKE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS SAY THE BUILDING FACE, EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT IS GREEN AS YOUR US, EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT IT'S WHEN YOU CONCENTRATE THE PEOPLE, THE CARS, AND IT'S MUCH MORE OF A, OF A VILLAGE KIND OF FEEL, AND YOU KIND OF SEPARATE THAT.
IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO TAKE THAT HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUME OF THAT GREAT BIG ROAD AND THINK ABOUT IT AS BEING WALKABLE.
IT'S SCARY YET THE PROSTATE IS THIS, THINK ABOUT THAT AS A PARKWAY TO GET THROUGH.
SO THIS IS WHERE WE MIGHT DEPART A LITTLE BIT FROM BOTH OF THEM AND SAY US TWO 50, GOING THROUGH IT'S A, IT'S A PRINCIPAL CIRCULATION ROUTE, AND IT'S, IT'S AROUND IT ON BOTH SIDES BY AS A GREEN CORRIDOR.
AND THERE ARE SOME BREAKS IN THE PARKWAY, CAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO GET INTO OUR WALKABLE VILLAGES, BUT THEY'RE NOT, IT'S NOT EVERY HUNDRED OR SO FEET IT'S INFREQUENTLY.
AND THEN THIS DIAGRAM REALLY SHOWS HOW THIS WORKS AND IT'S UP HERE.
YOU CAN COME SEE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL LATER, BUT THE IDEA IS, OOPS.
YEAH, THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, HERE'S, HERE'S YOUR US TO TWO 50 CIRCULATION.
AND THEN VARY HOW SOME PLACES ARE CLOSER IN SOME PLACES FARTHER BACK, BUT THEN UP AGAINST THERE, YOU'RE BUILDING WALLS FRONT OF PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO THERE.
THEN YOU TAKE THE AREA BETWEEN THOSE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND GOING BACK INTO THE PROPERTIES.
AND THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT YOUR PRINCIPAL CIRCULATION.
SO THIS IS WHERE EVERYBODY'S GOING TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND HAVE BACKEND PARKING AND HAVE SIDEWALKS AND STREETLIGHTS.
AND SO THAT WAY YOU CAN BEGIN TO GET THE FAST MOVING TRAFFIC THROUGH.
AND THIS IS THE MORE LOCAL TRAFFIC AND STILL HAVE, IT'S STILL HANDS ON, NO BRAKES GOING BACK TO IT A WEEK, BUT IT'S,
[00:55:01]
IT'S A MUCH SAFER WAY TO DO IT.AND I THINK IT WOULD BE ACTUALLY VIRTUAL CLASS.
SO, SO THIS SECTION SHOWS THAT WELL, UM, THE BROAD STREET ROAD, PARTER AND HIGHWAY ORIENTED COMMERCE, AND THEN THE VILLAGE STREET MAP HERE.
SO LET ME BREAK IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND OF COURSE THIS IS, YOU'LL SEE THIS LITTLE WEASEL WORD AGAIN, LOW, RIGHT? THIS IS A CONCEPT FOR DISCUSSION.
THIS IS NOT A PROPOSAL ON ANYBODY'S PARTICULAR LAYER, BUT I WANT TO GET THROUGH THIS BECAUSE IT'S A WAY TO KEEP THAT, THAT A LOT OF THAT COUNTRYSIDE BY, BY CONDENSING SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
SO, UH, ON THE, ON THE TOP, WE HAVE THE SIDE STREET, YOU HAVE THE VILLAGE LEAK.
AND THEN, UH, WE HAVE, UH, BUILDINGS, UH, BACK IN, BACK IN THE BACK, WE HAVE SIX MARSHALL BUILDINGS ALONG THAT'S TWO 50.
SO THE, THE BUILDINGS TOWARD THE BACK, OF COURSE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PARKING, WHICH YOU SEE SHOWING UP RIGHT HERE.
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, UH, FIRST FLOOR MARSHAL ALONG THE VILLAGE STREETS.
AND MAYBE IF YOU GET BACK THE VILLAGE STREET, IT BECOMES LESS INTENSIVE TO MAKE THEM MORE LIKE OPPOSITES ALONG THE SIDE STREETS.
AND THEN ON TOP IS RESIDENTIAL.
SO THEY GET MIXED USE BUILDINGS.
THIS IS SORT OF ONE OF THE KEY BUILDING BLOCKS OF A VILLAGE MIX.
YOU CAN GO DOWNSTAIRS TO GET A HOT DOG, COME BACK UP.
UM, AND SO, UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE GATEWAYS.
THIS IS THE SET OF LIGHTS THERE YET, AND IT COULD QUITE NICELY BE DEVELOPED AS THIS GATEWAY, MAYBE EVEN A ROUNDABOUT GATEWAY.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BRO, SO THAT THESE PLACES REMAIN, YOU LOSE THE STOPLIGHT AND IT BECOMES A CIRCULATION ROUNDABOUT.
SO WE TRIED THIS, WE TRIED THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THIS IS THE AREA HERE IN THE UPPER LEFT.
UH, THIS IS THE GENERALLY, UM, THE VICINITY OF MANNEQUIN TOWN.
THE PROPOSAL THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED, THE ORIENT, YOU, THIS IS A FOOD LION, UH, US 50 HERE AT THE BOTTOM.
AND SO WE STARTED TO LOOK AT THE PLAN THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED.
AND SO YOU'LL SEE HERE, THIS IS THE PLAN THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED.
AND THESE BUILDINGS YELLOW TEND TO BE RESIDENTIAL BLUE, UH, SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND IT'S ON IT'S ON A GRID, THE FIVE POINTS ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD.
IT'S KIND OF A NEW URBANIST PLAN.
THE OWNER OF THE GOLF COURSE THAT WILL STUDY IF YOU TOOK THAT AND STUDIED HOW WE MAY TRANSFORM OUR GOLF COURSE LATER TOO, LIKE AN 18 HOLE GOLF COURSE, BUT NINE FAIRWAYS.
SO YOU HAVE TWO HOLES ON A FAIRWAY.
COULD YOU CONVINCE THAT MAYBE EXTEND, YOU KNOW, THE SAME KIND OF GENERAL IDEA.
SO THIS SCAM TAKES THIS IDEA OF THE MANNEQUIN ACCOUNT IDEA AND SPREADS IT TOWARD THE GOLF COURSE, KEEPING LARGE AREAS OF THE GOLF COURSE.
SO IT'S A CONCEPT, BUT WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THE LINEAR STREETS.
AND WHAT YOU TRY TO DO IS TERMINATE THEM WITH SOME TYPE OF BUILDING THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE TO NATURE.
ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT A VILLAGE IS PROXIMITY TO NATURE.
SO YOU SEE BUILDINGS AT THE TERMINUS TO CONNECT YOU IN NATURE.
MAYBE THAT ONE'S UP CLUBHOUSE FOR THE GOLF COURSE, OR MAYBE THIS ONE'S A STABLE, THEY CAN ALWAYS BE WAYS TO TERMINATE WITH SOME KIND OF WAY TO LAUNCH YOU INTO NATURE.
AND THEN THE, THESE ROADS ALONG HERE, YOU KNOW, YOU CONTINUE THE SAME TYPE OF BUILDING MASS WITH THESE WHITE BUILDINGS THAT
SO, UM, SO WE'RE GOING TO TRANSLATE THAT NOW INTO SORT OF THE NEXT TYPE OF DRAWING IN THIS DRAWING.
YOU'LL SEE, UH, THIS ONE AND THE NEXT ONE, THE BLACK BUILDINGS ON HERE ARE, UH, THE MAIN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
THE YELLOW ONES ARE PROPOSED AS, UH, THOSE MULTI, UH, MULTI-USE BUILDINGS SOMETIMES CALLED LIVE WORK BUILDINGS.
IT HAS A FIRST SPORTS MARSHAL, OTHER THINGS UP TOP GRAY BUILDINGS, PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL, LIKE AN APARTMENT BUILDING.
AND THEN THESE RED ONES, THE SPECIAL ONES THAT CONNECT PEOPLE TO NATURE.
SO IF YOU TOOK THIS GENERAL IDEA AND YOU, AND YOU WENT AHEAD AND LOOK AT AND SORT OF SPREAD IT OUT ALONG THAT WALKABLE VILLAGE, HERE'S WHERE WE JUST WERE.
SAME IDEA, KIND OF SPED ALONG THE ROAD.
YOU, YOU GET A PLAN THAT MAKES, UH, A NUMBER OF THESE WALKABLE PARTS AND YOU HAVE A PRIMARY CIRCULATION LONG US, TWO 50, REALLY GOOD CONNECTED ROADS, SECONDARY AND CIRCULATION.
[01:00:03]
UH, PRINCIPAL WALKING, SPEED PARTNERS BACK HERE AND ON THIS SIDE.AND THEN THEY VERY CLEVERLY JOINED BACK INTO THE, UM, THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE ALREADY HERE.
YOU'LL SEE THE LARGE FLOOD PLANE COMING THROUGH AND THE LITTLE DASH LINE PAGE, THE CONTROL GREENWAY NETWORK, AND THAT SEPARATES PRIMARILY MIXED USE WALKABLE VILLAGE FROM, UH, THE LARGER, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARCELS ON THE HIGH SIDE OR NORTH SIDE OF THE FLOOD, PLAIN GREEN MONEY.
THAT'S THE CONCEPT, BUT SOME OF THE COSTS OF THAT, NOW THERE'S A FIVE MINUTE CIRCLE.
AGAIN, THAT'S A WALKABLE PART OF IT.
EVERY VILLAGE THAT WE KNOW THAT'S WORTH, ANYTHING HAS A CENTRAL SPECIAL AREA.
AND THIS IS SHOWN IS A LOT OF THE FEATURES THAT ROSS HAD COLLECTED.
YOU KNOW, THINGS WE'D LIKE TO SEE SUGGESTED IN ONE SPOT.
SO WE MOVE THAT A LITTLE BIT BACK FROM THE MAIN ROAD, AND THIS WAS JUST ONE POTENTIAL AREA THAT IT COULD BE.
SO THE VILLAGE CENTER CONCEPT WOULD BE PRIVATE LANDS, BUT WITH SOME OF THESE PUBLIC SEMI-PUBLIC ITEMS ON THE LIST THAT YOU HAD PROVIDED SUCH AS COMMUNITY ORIENTED BUILDINGS, UH, FOUNTAINS AND SPRAY PADS, A CENTRAL GREEN MUSIC, MAYBE A SAGE PAVILION, UH, SOME COMMERCIAL RAFT SPOTS, MAYBE FARMER'S MARKET ON THAT AREA.
SO IT'S SORT OF A LOT OF PUBLICLY ORIENTED FACILITIES THAT ARE PART OF, UH, UH, A PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THAT FROM THE AIR, YOU KNOW, AND ALL THE, ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE THERE AND LIKE THE CENTRAL RAIN OR PUBLICLY ORIENTED FACILITY.
UM, AND THEN ALL THOSE LAND USE, UH, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THAT THE MARSHAL LOWER STORIES, RESIDENTIAL UP TOP, YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT BATTALION AND MAKE IT INTERESTING ALL AROUND.
UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'VE BEEN USED AS SORT OF THESE DIAGRAMS, YOU KNOW, REALLY LOOK LIKE SOMETHING MUCH MORE FUN AND ENTERTAINING.
PART OF TRANSLATE THAT ONE PLANNER SEE THAT THEY THINK OF THIS.
I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING IS, YOU KNOW, MULTI-STORY, UH, POTENTIALLY AS YOU GET AWAY FROM US, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE.
UH, FINALLY THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA.
SO THOSE ARE TWO THAT GENERALLY TO THE NORTH OF THE GREENWAY, THESE AREAS ARE DESIGNED GUIDELINES.
SO THAT, AGAIN, AS YOU'RE TRAVELING THROUGH THERE, YOU'RE STILL HAVE THAT CONTACT WITH THE LARGE TREES AND GENERALLY WITH NATURE.
SO IT'S LITTLE THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BIG PARCELS OF LAND, LIKE BERMS AND SCREENED PLANTINGS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE KIND OF BUFFER THE FACILITIES FOR THE ROAD, PUTTING THE SERVICE AROUND BACK.
IT'S JUST A NUMBER OF SMALLER THINGS, BUT IMPORTANT FOR GUIDELINES.
UM, SO IT KEEPS THAT FAIRER INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE AREAS YOU PUT TOGETHER, THE SIMILAR KIND OF RULES.
YOU USE THE BUILDINGS UPFRONT TO SCREEN THE PARKING IN THE BACK SO THAT YOU COME OFF THE INTERSTATE, YOU REALLY SEE BUILDINGS AND LANDSCAPE AREAS, PARKING PUT AROUND BACK, YOU DON'T PUT ENTRANCE IS RIGHT ONTO THE FRONT ROW, BUT INSTEAD YOU GET THEM AWAY FROM THAT.
SO YOU DON'T CAUSE BACK UP THE FRAPPE, IT'S JUST A NUMBER OF SMALL GUIDELINES REALLY CAN MAKE THAT A SUCCESS.
SO YOU'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM US.
WE WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING FROM YOU AND IN THIS PART OF IT, UM, THAT THE TURNOFF DID I TURN IT OFF? BRAS IS LOGGING IN.
YOU WILL HAVE NOT HEARD THAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED.
YEAH, THIS IS, THIS IS A FUN PROJECT.
[01:05:01]
TO GIVE A COUPLE SECONDS HERE TO OUR, UM, PROCESS AND TO, FOR EVERYBODY TO GET IT, LOAD IT UP RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU GO TO THAT QR CODE, OR IF YOU GO TO POLAND, P O L L E V.COM/GOOCHLAND POLE E V.COM/GOOCHLAND.YOU'RE GOING TO GET ACTUALLY, YOU WERE GOING TO GET A, UM, A A, ALL RIGHT.
ROSS IS JUST GOING TO TURN IT HERE.
SO EVERYTHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT KNIGHT HAS BEEN ABOUT COMMUNITY, CHARACTER AND NEEDS AND WHAT THESE, WE HAVE A SERIES OF ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU, BASED ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, AND WE WANT TO GET FROM YOU ALL, WHAT YOU FEEL ARE IMPORTANT TO THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY.
YOU CAN'T SEE THIS GREAT ON THE SCREEN, WHICH IS OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON YOUR PHONE MUCH BETTER.
SO THE FIRST QUESTION AND HOW AWESOME IS IT THAT EVERYBODY'S ALREADY STARTING TO, UH, GO INTO IT, WHICH OF THE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS OR DESIGNS THAT YOU BELIEVE BEST REPRESENTS THE ENTRANCE CHARACTER YOU WOULD LIKE AS YOU COME INTO THE CENTERVILLE AREA, LIKE GATEWAYS AS YOU'RE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY, THE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU SEE, THE GATEWAY SORT OF TRANSITION INTO IT.
AND WE'VE GOT OTHER QUESTIONS FOR OTHER ON THIS AS WE GO THROUGH IT.
UM, AND WE INTENTIONALLY DON'T HAVE THEM LABELED.
WE WANT YOU TO KIND OF TAKE YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS AS YOU GO THROUGH IT.
SO ON THIS ONE, THIS FIRST ONE, WE'RE JUST GOING TO PICK ONE OF THESE.
WE'LL PROBABLY GIVE THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT, EXTRA TIME SINCE PEOPLE ARE GETTING USED TO THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW, MOST EVERYBODY LOVES A SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
I MIGHT NOT GIVE IT A COUPLE MORE SECONDS HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO GO ONTO THE SECOND QUESTION.
NOW, THE SECOND QUESTION, REALLY PAIRS WITH THIS QUESTION, THEN AGAIN, AS SOON AS ROSS ADVANCES IN THE BACK, IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP, THIS IS AN OPEN-ENDED QUESTION AND IT RELATES TO THE PREVIOUS ONE.
WE JUST ASKED WHAT THE IMAGES.
SO OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE SHOWED WITH THOSE ENTRY FEATURES AND THOSE GATEWAY ENTRANCES INTO THE COMMUNITY, WHAT ARE SOME OTHER FEATURES THAT YOU FEEL ARE IMPORTANT THAT WEREN'T SHOWN IN THAT? SO IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE ANYTHING THERE ABOVE, YOU CAN SAY, THAT'S, YOU CAN SAY THAT.
OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT WAS UP THERE, LIKE GATEWAY SIGNAGE, OR DESIGN, OR, UM, YOU KNOW, TYPES OF, UH, OF, UH, USES HORSE JUMPS, TYPE THEM UP, JUST RANDOMLY TYPE THEM IN YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR PHONE, WHAT AM I ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH? SPELLCHECKS I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY MISSPELLING THING YET.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO GO REALLY WELL WITH THE COMMUNITY.
I SHOULDN'T, I SHOULDN'T MAKE THOSE EDITORIAL COMMENTS LIKE THAT, BUT A LOVE THAT FOCAL POINT NATURE, LANDSCAPING, AND REALLY WHAT THIS DOES IS THE LAST ONE THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED COMES UP LARGE THEY'RE BIKE-FRIENDLY ROADS.
THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT DON'T REALLY HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF HERE, BUT I WAS THINKING TODAY, I BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
I AM A CYCLIST, BUT, UH, GOSH, MAN, YOU'LL HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL ROADS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTY THAT ARE GREAT FOR RIDING YOUR BIKE.
BUFFERING LIBRARY IS A DESTINATION WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PUBLIC DESTINATIONS THAT ARE IN, UH, CENTERVILLE RIGHT NOW, WALKING TRAILS AND PATHS NATURE.
I SEE COMES UP A NUMBER OF TIMES AVENUE BANNERS.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WITH THE BRAND AND STUFF.
WELL, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF KEEP MOVING THROUGH THE SUNDAY THAT WE MIGHT BE CUT SOME OF Y'ALL OFF, BUT, UM, JUST GRAB US AFTERWARDS AND GIVE US YOUR OTHER FAULTS.
[01:10:01]
THE NEXT QUESTION, ANOTHER VISUAL PREFERENCE IDEA.SO IT'S LIKE THE FIRST ONE, WHICH OF THESE IMAGES THAT YOU SEE BETTER ON YOUR PHONES? UM, DO YOU BELIEVE BEST REPRESENTS WHAT AN INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE BUSINESS SHOULD LOOK LIKE? NOW? THIS ONE YOU CAN TAKE UP TO TWO LAST ONE WE HAD DONE JUST ONE.
AND WHEN WE SAY INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE, YOU DON'T HAVE AN INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE IN YOUR STUDY AREA PROPER, BUT YOU DO HAVE 2 88 THAT COMES IN AND IT HAS, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY A LIMITED ACCESS, UM, ENTRANCE INTO OUR STUDY AREA.
SO THAT'S KINDA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
IF, IF THAT WERE TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOPMENT.
YEAH, WE, WE HAVE A FUTURE INTERSTATE INTERCHANGES, YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN HERE? SO THERE IS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR STUDY AREA DOES HAVE THE INTERSTATE STATE THERE.
SO WHICH OF THESE YOU BELIEVE BEST REPRESENTS WHAT INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE BUSINESS SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
AND EACH ONE OF THESE THAT WE SELECTED OR DEVELOPMENT IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THAT ARE RIGHT OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, SOME CONVENTIONAL, SOME PART OF A LARGER DEVELOPMENT SOM IN AN AREA THAT MAY HAVE DESIGN GUIDELINES, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
AND THIS ONE EVERYBODY'S GRAVITATING TO B AND C.
THERE'S NO WRONG ANSWER TO ANY OF THIS, BY THE WAY, THIS IS WHY WE'RE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS.
WE DIDN'T PUT A BUCKY'S UP HERE.
WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE, BECAUSE EVERYBODY SEEMS TO LOVE BUCKY'S RIGHT NOW.
THEY WERE BUCKY'S ANYBODY POP IT UP, NOT ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, WHEN THERE'S BIG, MASSIVE GAS STATIONS, THINK OF IF SHEETS AND WAWA GOT MARRIED AND THEN WE'RE ALL BOTH ON STEROIDS AND THEY HAD A CHILD.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE SECOND QUESTION OF THIS.
JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE SHOWED, WE SHOWED ON THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE.
WHAT OTHER THOUGHTS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY INTERCHANGE DEVELOPMENT? WHETHER IT'S, AGAIN, THE DESIGN CHARACTER, WHETHER IT'S USE AS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THEIR TYPES OF BUSINESSES OR THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED.
HIGH QUALITY ARCHITECTURE, TREES, TREES, TREES, RIGHT.
WE KNOW THAT THAT'S GREEN SPACE.
THESE ARE TRAFFIC QUALITY ARCHITECTURE BEING THAT ROUNDABOUT TURN ABOUT.
I'M ASSUMING THAT MEANS ROUNDABOUT.
SO COMMERCIALIZATION IS NOT FIRST GET, I SEE A LOT ABOUT HIGH QUALITY ARCHITECTURE, FACIAL VISITOR CENTER.
THAT'S ALSO, NOW IT'S BEEN MENTIONED IN OUR INPUT SO FAR.
UM, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT COMMENT.
I MEAN, YOU ARE THE FIRST PLACE THAT PEOPLE COME TO WHEN THEY COME INTO THE COUNTY, THIS IS WHAT A VILLAGE MIGHT BE LIKE AS THEY'RE ENTERING INTO IT.
UM, THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP QUITE A BIT.
ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON IN THE INTEREST OF TIME TO THE THIRD OF FOUR OF THESE, THESE, UH, VISUAL PREFERENCES ONCE.
SO THIS ONE IS, WHICH OF THESE DO YOU BELIEVE BEST REPRESENTS WHAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LANDS SHOULD LOOK LIKE? AND PICK TWO OF THESE.
NOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S A WORD THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IS HARD TO GRASP, BUT THAT'S PLACES
[01:15:01]
WHERE INVESTMENT MIGHT OCCUR AND THAT INVESTMENT MIGHT BE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT.IT MIGHT BE EMPLOYMENT MIGHT BE, MIGHT BE INDUSTRIAL.
UM, IF IT'S RIGHT FOR CERTAIN AREA.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS THE TYPE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
AND YOUR, FROM YOUR OPINION, IN, IN CENTERVILLE, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE REALLY HITTING ON THE, UH, OPTION C THERE.
ONE OF THE THINGS TOO, IS WE DEFINITELY INTENTIONALLY DIDN'T TAKE IMAGES FROM CENTERVILLE VILLAGE OR VIGILANT COUNTY BECAUSE Y'ALL GOT SOME NICE STUFF HERE.
AND WE KNEW THAT IF WE PUT THAT IMAGE UP THERE, THAT EVERYBODY GRAVITATE TO THAT PARTICULAR THING.
UM, BUT YOU MIGHT SEE SOME IMAGES UP HERE THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE, AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WANT THAT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR AREA.
SO AGAIN, C STILL BE GOT NEARLY A THIRD.
I DON'T SEE IT CHANGING THAT MUCH MORE.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT QUESTION, WHICH AGAIN, THE PAIRED QUESTION FOR THAT.
SO OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU SAW, THERE WERE THOSE FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVESTMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD HAPPEN.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT YOU THINK ARE APPROPRIATE AND AGAIN, FOR THE CENTERVILLE VILLAGE AREA? SO AGAIN, HERE, WE'RE TALKING MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT EMPLOYMENT USES OFFICE USES, PERHAPS IF IT'S APPROPRIATE OR NOT INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES, UM, NOT NECESSARILY LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, FAST FOOD TYPE RESTAURANTS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S MORE OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT MEDICAL USE IS YOU'RE SEEING THAT HAPPENING ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF, OF CENTERVILLE.
SOMEBODY MENTIONED TO ME, UM, A, A 24 HOUR VET CLINIC, THIS IS GOING TO BE COMING IN THE SIDE OF, OF THE AREA.
I THINK MY ELBOW, MY DOGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING MIXED USE CAMPUS.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HEARD THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
I THINK IN SOME OF THESE DESIGNS, HOW WE CAN PROTECT THAT RURAL CHARACTER, SOME OF THE BRANDING STUFF THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, RECREATION, YOU KNOW, RECREATION IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY.
WE MAY NOT THINK ABOUT IT AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FROM A PLACE THAT EMPLOYS A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT THE A HUNDRED PERCENT, THOSE TYPES OF QUALITY LIFE, UM, DESTINATIONS AND ACTIVITY ARE PART OF THE REASON WHY PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN A COMMUNITY, INCLUDING INCLUDING EMPLOYERS.
SO THAT'S A BERRY ESTATE ANSWER THERE APARTMENTS FOR YOUNGER POPULATION TO FILL THE JOBS AT THE DOG ON IT.
WELL, WE GET THE WHOLE, WE GOT THE WHOLE SENTENCE ON THE, UH, THE OUTPUT AND WE'LL SHARE ALL THIS WITH EVERYBODY TOO, BY THE WAY.
UM, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, REMAIN COUNTRY LIVE IN SHORT PUMP IS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD THAT.
WELL, SET BACK FROM THE ROAD, QUIET AND RURAL APARTMENTS, FREON DRESS SEE POPPED UP AGAIN, SERVICES ORIENTED BUSINESSES, AND OUR DATA SHOWED SOME OF THAT, UM, THAT I SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE.
ALL RIGHT, WELL NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO WHAT I THINK IS THE LAST OF OUR VISUAL PREFERENCE SURVEYS.
THIS ONE IS ABOUT RESIDENTIAL.
WHICH OF THESE DO YOU BELIEVE BEST REPRESENTS THE HOUSING TYPES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR CENTERVILLE VILLAGE? YOU PROBABLY SEE SOME UP HERE THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HERE.
SOME THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE HERE, BUT DEFINITELY WANT TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU FEEL IS APPROPRIATE.
W W WE INTENTIONALLY USE THAT WORD APPROPRIATE VERSUS OF, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT, WHAT IT NEEDS BECAUSE THE MARKET DATA MAY SHOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND WHAT YOU ALL FEEL AS RESIDENTS OF CENTERVILLE AREA.
SO, SO A AND B ARE BOTH, UH, AND BY THE WAY, YOU
[01:20:01]
CAN PICK ALL THAT APPLY ON THIS ONE.SO YOU CAN HAVE UP TO FOUR FOR A FEW.
YOU LIKE THEM ALL DO ALL FOUR, IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY OF THEM, DON'T DO ANY AND THE WHITE FOR THE NEXT QUESTION.
SO WE'LL MOVE TO THE LAST QUESTION, WHICH IS PAIRED TO THAT PREVIOUS ONE.
OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU JUST SAW ON THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE, WHAT OTHER TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL DO YOU THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR, UM, CENTERVILLE AND TELL US MAYBE, MAYBE THINGS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF DESIGN OR TYPES THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THAT YOU THINK ARE APPROPRIATE HERE.
I SEE THAT UP THERE, UM, DETACHED COTTAGES, AFFORDABLE, SENIOR LIVING.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DEFINITELY BEEN BROUGHT UP A LOT IN OUR PLANNING PROCESS, BOTH HERE AND IN, UH, COURTHOUSE VILLAGE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT A, YOU KNOW, I'M PAST YOUR MEDIAN AGE, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, BUT YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO A GREAT PLACE TO SPEAK ONCE THEY LIVING NOW, MAYBE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT THAT A BIG HOME ON A BIG LOT, BUT THEY WANT TO STAY IN, IN, UM, CENTERVILLE AS THEY AGE, NO APARTMENTS, APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE THING, ALL THAT STUFF IS FAIR.
THERE'S DEFINITELY DIFFERING OF OPINIONS AND THIS WHOLE PLANNING PROCESS HERE AND THAT'S OKAY.
TOWNHOMES MIXED USE AGE IN PLACE.
UH, I DROVE THROUGH SCOTTSVILLE AND POWER.
I'M SURE I PRONOUNCED THAT WRONG BY THE WAY, PAUL HATTON.
UM, BUT THAT'S LIKE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE, SMALLER UNITS, ALL MOSTLY, I THINK WERE ONE, ONE STORY APPROPRIATE DESIGN, THE MELTS INTO THE RURAL SETTING, WALKABLE SR SINGLE FAMILY NOTES, FOUR STORY TOWN HOMES.
SO DENSITY IS PART OF THE FAULTS.
WE'RE REAL PEOPLE AT TEACHERS AND PUBLIC SAFETY AND ALL THAT CAN, CAN LIVE FORDABLE FOR TEACHERS AND FIREFIGHTERS POCKET PARKS.
THAT'S A GREAT AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
I THINK REALLY SHOULDN'T BE ADDING MY COMMENTS TO, TO THIS, BUT, UH, ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE HAVE GOT ABOUT A HALF HOUR LEFT AND I WANT YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE REST OF WHAT WE HAVE HERE AND ASK US QUESTIONS AND GIVE US MORE COMMENTS.
SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK.
UM, I JUST HAVE A FEW HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS. SO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE PRESENT WITH US, WHO MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE, WE HAVE, UM, POST-IT NOTES AND THE SLIDES, UM, BASICALLY WHAT YOU ALL SAW, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GO BACK THERE AND GOT IT DOWN.
