Help Sought in Hansville Planning
November 6th, 2008 by derek sheppardSorry, a copy/paste job from the county press release:
COUNTY AND RESIDENTS DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY PLAN
PORT ORCHARD – Kitsap County’s Department of Community Development is working with citizens of the Greater Hansville/Eglon area to develop a community plan to guide the area’s future. The plan allows residents to determine what they value about their community so policies and codes can be developed to preserve those values. Once the community plan is adopted it becomes an integral part of the County’s comprehensive plan, guiding future development. This plan will be developed specifically for the Greater Hansville/Eglon area and will cover the local business economy, transportation, the environment, public services, land use, parks and recreation, utilities and local infrastructure.
Kitsap County’s north-end residents face many future challenges, ranging from how to handle the increasing number of visitors to Point-No-Point and Norwegian Point Parks, to the building of a boat launch by the State, to the potential development of a hotel and expanded tribal casino. Establishing this community plan enables the residents of our area to help formulate the area’s direction during the next 20 years. Not only does it establish development policies and county codes, the plan will help the current and future Board of County Commissioners allocate critical resources to meet citizen and government needs.
If you want your input to be counted, now is the time to get involved. All residents of the area are urged to participate. Your attendance and participation at planning committee meetings and open house events, as well as your verbal and written comments are needed. Your participation can be as extensive as joining the committee or as simple as reviewing information online and emailing your comments to Kitsap County planners.
The planning committee meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at the Greater Hansville Community Center, Buck Lake Park. A community-wide open house will be held in early 2009 at the same location. To join, simply come to the next meeting and sign up or online at: planning@hanville.org. You can access information online at www.kitsapgov.com/dcd or at the official Greater Hansville Community Center website: www.hansville.org. You may email your comments or questions to Psulliva@co.kitsap.wa.us.
