Huck explained the public meeting is part of the process to writing a new Master Development Plan for the city. The plan will be used by current and future city leaders to act as a guide concerning residential and commercial growth in the City of Alexander. The current Master Development Plan was approved in 1982.
This is the second public meeting. The first was held in June, 2022 at the City Park. At that meeting the public provided input on various topics such as Vision, Transportation, Housing, Recreation, Employment, and Making it Happen. This first draft is based on those responses plus a public survey taken in 2021.
A proposed second version, based on comments from the March 11 meeting, will be presented at a future public hearing. Comments from the public hearing will be considered when writing the final version of the Master Development Plan. The plan will then go to the planning commission and then the city council for final approval.
