GREELEY PLAN AREA PRIORITY GOALS SUBMITTED BY STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS 09-10-10 Background: The Consultant Team asked Steering Committee Members to identify their three priority goals. The following includes responses received as of 09-10-10. 1. Do want ever is possible to improve the old infrastructure that is in need of repair. 2. Establish the highest and best use of the Greely School. 3. Encourage the residents to do what they can to clean up the area and properly care for their own properties. Use the city ordinances and services that are available to help, for example, junk cars. Low cost, just pride of ownership. Goal One Make sure the B.S.B. County Public Works Department acknowledges and presents the council a written time table that is acceptable toward making improvements with regards to replacing the neighborhood water supply systems, storm water drainage systems and improving existing streets/lighting . Goal Two Acknowledge existing safe routes to area parks like the Clark’s Park, the Race Track Park and the new Trail Head along the creek. The neighbors sitting at the public meeting told our table that the youngster in the area will destroy anything and everything located at the Greeley site. Their opinion was to sell the Greeley building ASAP…. Goal Three Prioritizing what street s will be addressed first ….This goal has to be reasonable which will allow the county somewhere to make a start, give them options…. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Preserve and adaptively reuse the Greely School building and grounds as a community center and park with facilities to meet the needs of the neighborhood residents of all ages. 2. Using Hard Rock Trust monies, leveraged as needed with other funding sources, create and implement a program to improve or provide basic infrastructure such as (but not limited to) improved water supply systems, improved streets, storm water runoff systems, and coordinate setting the priorities for these with the residents of the neighborhood so that they help set goals and order of priorities. 3. Offer residents programs and resources to help them preserve and maintain their homes and thereby, continue to enhance their neighborhood. While limited to three, I believe another important goal would be to consider changing zoning in the area to stop the introduction of new mobile homes in the neighborhood and find other, suitable locations for those who want mobile home living. 1.Infrastructure (storm water control and lighting) 2.What to do with Greeley school 3.Parks in neighborhood 4.Zoning for moble home
