Sofia:
Thank you so much for your email reply. I have read through the entire Public-Review-Draft document (I
would not recommended this for night time reading). The red change tracking in the document was very
helpful. The more I review this document the more I can appreciate just how much effort has gone into
its creation. I commend you and your team on this herculean effort. As I stated earlier, I intend to join
the Planning Commission Zoom call on Friday and the Town Council meeting, in person, on Monday.
Once the dust settles on your efforts to obtain the required Town approvals, by the end of this month, I
would like to meet with you to better understand a few things. Specifically they relate to:
- Subdividing properties - It is possible, but not necessary, that the property owners or new
housing developers may wish to subdivide the property to create new parcels to allow
separate and independent ownership.
- The RHNA analysis of non-vacant sites, on page 166. The numbers here have apparently
been updated, I would like to understand this change.
- I would like to understand further the various Programs and there associate “Quantified
Objectives", beginning on page 189.
Again, I acknowledge this was a huge undertaking and I very much appreciate your
willingness and patience in explaining /assisting me to understand the Housing Element
Plan.
Best,
Jim Steinmetz
