EXISTING CONDITIONS REVIEW: MEETING MINUTES Date – November 15, 2012, 5:30pm – 7:30pm Meeting Name – Advisory Committee – 2nd meeting Location: Town of Indian Trail, NC Purpose: Project Introduction Attending: Allen Rosenburg (PB), Cathi Higgins (PB), Roger Phish (BOA), Patricia Laws (BOA),

David Cohn (Town Council), Mike Kissell (Bonterra Builders), Ash Minor (Park and Greenway Committee), Mureen Mulhall (Xtreme Ice), Joe Fivas (Town of Indian Trail Manager), , Rox Burhans (Town of Indian Trail Planning Staff), Padam Singh (HNTB), Donal Simpson

Padam Singh, Project Manager for the consultant team, welcomed everybody and

requested that each member of the advisory committee introduce themselves

Padam discussed the agenda for the meeting and emphasized that the group will be reviewing the results of the stakeholder interviews and discussing the goals and vision of the comprehensive plan

Padam then gave an overview of the stakeholder interviews results. He discussed the total number of stakeholders HNTB interviewed over the two-day period and the key likes, issues, needs, and themes that emerged from those interviews

The Committee then discussed the currently adopted Comprehensive Plan’s Vision Statement. Overall, most of the committee members thought that the Vision Statement is still valid. Each member voiced their suggestion about how to modify the Vision Statement.

Just like the Vision Statement discussion, the committee members also reviewed individual goals of the existing Comprehensive Plan and assessed whether these goals are still valid or applicable. Although there were engaging discussions around each goal statement, there was wide spread consensus that many goals are still applicable but could be refined further by modifying them slightly.

A few new goals were also added to address the needs of the Town and the plan committee’s desire to make the list of goals more comprehensive

The discussion then shifted towards the update of the US-74 Corridor Study. A significant portion of the Town’s jurisdiction overlapped with the study area of the US-74 corridor. Padam gave a quick overview of the study –

o He briefly discussed the overall land use structure of the portion of the study area that fell in the Town of Indian Trail’s jurisdictions

o He also highlighted some transportation improvements suggested by the study. These included some new road connections, driveway consolidations, and some intersection improvements

o He provided more detail on the Superstreet intersection type and various ways this intersection concept could be implemented. He also mentioned the pros and cons of different configurations of Superstreet intersections

APPENDIX 1

Appendix 1-7

o He updated the committee members on the Gateways and Aesthetic improvements needed for the corridor and discussed various locations within the Town where such improvements could be made

Finally, Padam discussed the upcoming public meeting - its purpose, schedule, location, community outreach efforts and the role advisory committee can play in bringing residents to the public meeting

o Each advisory committee member was given a task to bring at least five residents with them

To make it interesting and exciting for the residents it was discussed that the consultant team will conduct the play-money exercise where each meeting attendee will get $10 million dollars in fake money. Their task will be to spend that money on a range of options. This will not only get people excited to come to the meeting but also provide a very meaningful way to collect their feedback on some really pertinent options. Date – December 6, 2012, 6:30 pm – 8:30pm Meeting Name – Public Meeting #1 Location: Town of Indian Trail, NC (First Baptist Church) Purpose: Project Kick-off, Goals and Vision discussion, existing conditions information Attending: Town residents, business owners, elected and appointed officials, Town staff,

and consultant team (See sign in sheet)

The Town of Indian Trail in coordination with HNTB facilitated the first public meeting

for the Comprehensive Plan Update on Thursday, December 6, 2012 from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the First Baptist Church on Indian Trail-Fairview Road.

The meeting started with introductions by Padam Singh, the consultant Project Manager.

The Agenda for the meeting was: o Explanation of why a comprehensive plan update is needed o Review of Stakeholder Interviews

Key issues and highlights o Review of 2005 Vision and Goals

Review of revised Vision and Goals o Existing conditions analysis o Money Exercise and Next Steps o Q&A

Before going through the summary of the stakeholder interviews, Padam Singh went through a few demographic polling questions.

After the polling questions, Mr. Singh went through a summary of the Stakeholder Interviews that were conducted in October 2012. The summary included a list of the major issues and concerns.

After the review of the Stakeholder Interviews, Donal Simpson went through a review of the existing and revised Vision and Goals.

APPENDIX 1

Appendix 1-8

The existing goals themes included: o Quality of Life o Land Use o Transportation o Downtown Revitalization o Public Utilities

Based on input from the Advisory Committee and the Stakeholders, the themes were revised to:

o Quality of Life o Parks and Recreation o Land Use and Housing o Natural Environment and Open Space o Transportation and Mobility o Downtown Revitalization o Economic Development and o Infrastructure.

The participants were asked to select their most important goal for each theme. The responses and results of all the questions asked during the public meeting are attached towards the end in the appendix.

After completing the review of the Vision and Goals, Jessica Rossi from Kimley-Horn went through the Demographic Analysis, which included the summary of Population, Housing and Employment trends.

Following the Demographic Analysis, Kevin Walsh went through Land Use Analysis. This analysis included a brief overview of the Existing Land Use and Zoning, Environmental Features (Water Resources, Slopes, Soils Suitable for Development, and the Constrained Areas), Existing and Planned Transportation System, Pedestrian and Bicycle System, Parks and Greenway System and finally the Existing Sewer System.

Padam Singh closed the meeting by going over the Next Steps, which includes an online survey and a public meeting that will be scheduled for some time in February or March.

Mr. Singh then opened the floor for Questions & Answers. Below is list of questions/concerns that were raised:

o What is the Vision of the Town in 2-3 words? Is there a way to tie this together and market for the Town? We need something that links it all together?

o When do you know if you have a statistically significant valid data to move forward with the Plan?

o The Vision statement (Live, Work, and Play) is the beginning to defining the “identity” of the Town.

o What is the timeline for implementation of the recommendations and improvements identified in this plan?

o Rapid population growth can change the Town’s priorities very quickly. o What is being done to encourage growth/development within the Village

Centers? Are there incentives for developers to locate their businesses within the

Village Centers?

APPENDIX 1

Appendix 1-9

o What are the top cohorts in the Planning Area and what is being done to plan for the future needs of these cohorts?

Jessica Rossi mentioned that the top two cohorts include:

35-55

School aged children o What is being done to attract Fortune 500 companies to Indian Trail?

The meeting was concluded with the Community Choice exercise where each meeting attendee was given $5,000,000 in 5 $1,000,000 denomination notes (fake money). They were asked to distribute the monies in five different boxes –

o Roadways o Town Events o Town Hall / Civic Institutions o Parks and Greenways o Water and Sewer
