Neighborhood Master Plan Draft Now Online
Open House and Public Hearing Scheduled
(Springfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, March 10, 2011) Residents and businesses are encouraged to take a look at the draft version of the newly released neighborhood master plan. The plan was first introduced to a crowd of over 200 people at The State of The Township Community Address last Sunday. The draft is now available as a pdf download from the Township's website and is available for viewing in hard copy form at the Township's administrative offices (Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.). Online, visitors may also watch a short video explaining the process that the Township took to design the plan. Additional video will soon be created to explain the plan in its final version.
The community will have an additional opportunity to have their questions answered and view displays featuring components of the plan at an open house scheduled for March 29th, 10:00 a.m. until noon and 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. There will not be a formal presentation at this open house, however Trustees and staff will be available to discuss the components of the plan one-on-one.
A Public Hearing will be held the following evening, March 30th at 7:00 p.m. Residents are invited to state their comments on the record at the Public Hearing. The plan could be adopted at the public hearing, or recommended changes could be made for plan adoption at a later date. The Open House and the Public Hearing will take place at the Administration Complex, 9150 Winton Road in the Allen Paul Community Room.
The Neighborhood Master Plan has been a two-year project involving resident feedback and professional consultation with the design firm KKG. The plan involves the designation of twelve specific Township neighborhood districts and the creation of unique individualized plans for each. This plan involves the study and analysis of existing conditions in each of these areas from a physical condition, land use and zoning policy standpoint and provides specific recommendations regarding both short and long-term goals and policies that should be implemented. The Township Neighborhood Master Plan also provides operational and service delivery recommendations regarding specific areas that were identified through the planning processes as areas of weaknesses or as opportunities for success. As a special feature of the plan, conceptual drawings for "The Core Area" with mixed use along Winton and Galbraith Roads are included.
