This plan should describe want residents want. This comprehensive plan committee has been meeting to review the existing plan in which some gray areas need to be defined.
Public input is important.
Ervin Breunig thought it would be a good idea to arrange to have the survey inserted in the Shopper Stopper and delivered to all homes that way. Bill Pielsticker said that he doesn t look at his Shopper and several others agreed. In an earlier meeting, Planner Mark Roffers told the committee that groups that routinely send out surveys recommend sending surveys first class in a hand addressed envelope. It costs the residents no postage to return the completed survey. According to the recommendation, this sort of mailing tends to get the most returns.
