HRA Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Page 5 1 Chair Maschka suggested it may be more appropriate to create an identity with neighborhoods. 2 3 Ms. Raye suggested language with the intent to provide a “sense of place using design and 4 some kind of shared replication of design beyond individual properties to create consistency in 5 public spaces; such as a center, not necessarily to promote the City. 6 7 Member Majerus questioned if Goal V touched on that aspect; with Ms. Raye noting Goal V 8 was more business-related. 9 10 11 At the request of Member Quam, Mr. Trudgeon confirmed that need was to touch upon 12 “refinement” or “revitalization” of neighborhoods in places. However, Mr. Trudgeon noted 13 that it did include homes. 14 15 Member Quam focused the intent to create or encourage healthy, stable neighborhoods to 16 achieve refinement or revitalization, not necessarily specific to blighted or under-utilized areas, 17 but in the neighborhood’s future conversion. 18 19 Chair Maschka suggested that language, referenced by Member Lee in the Strategic Planning 20 Work Session materials from other communities, would fall under Goal II, Objective C; and 21 was not limited to single-family design.
