We're trying to create a vision of what our community should look like 20 years from now and on into the future,'' said group member Roger Van Ghent. Groups such as this are effective because people who live in these neighborhoods choose how their neighborhoods should look, said Teresa Bishop, chief planner for the county. She said the county will work with the group as much as it can, and visioning processes in the past have been very successful. The territory is halfway between Daytona and Jacksonville, and the members know their neighborhoods are going to expand someday. More than anything, we want compatible development,'' said group member Phil Ham.
Compatible development includes buildings and landscaping that blend into the community.
O'Farrell said the visioning group is on the threshold of developing the document that will spell out how the area should look.
