I'm writing this as Mike is address the different representives from around Springfield Township:
Mike reported that the Residential Rental Inspection Program is currently being reviewed with all issues and concerns being addressed. There is so much that the law will allow the township to do to move ahead so most likely, Mike Hinnekamp says that there will besome kind of registration when tenants change hands and inspections will be conducted when there is a complaint lodged about the rental property.
He also announced on December 4th -- there will be a Winterfest for the township children from 1 - 4 p.m. Madcap Puppets will be here!

March - Aril there will be time to review and make changes. And in April there will be a final plan adoption by the Board of Trustees.
Chris Gilbert is now presenting a map of Springfield Township and recapping what was discussed in individual neighborhood meetings:
In the Lexington Hgts. Wellspring and Glencoe -- they are trying to promote reinvestment in some of the neighborhoodsand commercial areas that need strategies to revitalize the housing.
Golfway and North College Hill -- identifying areas here to redevelop "housing stock" and improving aesthetics. He pointed out some areas that offer opportunity to redevelop but reminds us that Springfield Twp will not take ownership, but point it out to developers.
Hamilton NE -- most of it is Winton Woods Park, but he pointed out the need to expand on industrial development in "enterprise zone" along Hamilton Rd.They want to maintain some of the "rural" area around the park.
Seven Hills has a very bold proposed change in some areas -- converting some of the neighborhoods in crisis to transition to light industrial area because it is so close to 275 -- the retail market is not rebounding and hasn't done so for some time.
Pleasant Run Farms -- it has a strong residential identity, civic associations, parks, and will see very little change. There was a small pocket neighborhood with rentals that needed addressing due to a future school closing there.
Hamilton SW - huge redevelopment opportunity was identified near Rinks on Hamilton and issues with "housing stock" areas. Few of neighborhoods are in need for revitalization and reinvestment
Finneytown!!! That's us! Major attribute was the close proximity to the highways and gateway to the township. Identified redevelopment in commercial areas of Brentwood. Also pointed out that "core" area that was along Winton Road and around Ward Nursery for potential re-investment, streetscapes, for mix of commercial/residential! They see retail development as key to success here because it was identified in previous psychographic studies as "a core" for people who live and work in the area. There might be some zoning changes presented in the future so everyone needs to pay attention here. (Follow this link to the initial meeting where this was discussed in detail: http://viewplace.blogspot.com/2010/10/comprehensive-neighborhood-master-plan.html
The Valley Area had good access to I-75 and want to redevelop industrial in that area. Looking at higher density residential housing to replace some of the tired single homes. (Remember, this is a a long term vision.)
Winton NE comprises 50% of neighborhood. Potential for re-development as residential. Lakeridge area has great potential for redevelopment. They see a restaurant, outdoor patio for the Winton Woods Harbor area.
Hollydale -- redevelopment and reinvestment
Winton NW - deterioration of housing stock requiring redevelopment.
