During the course of the evening, the planned 'agenda' was altered as member of the community were anxious for a chance to ask questions and share thoughts as an entire group as opposed to multiple guided round table discussions. As a result, the 'mapping exercise' that was planned by the city was not completed. I saw some value in having attendees give the input that this excersise would have supplied, so after the meeting, I suggested to at least four different city employees, including the City Manager and Asst. Manager, that an email be sent to everyone that was sent the notification email about the Nov 20 workshop AND any new email addresses that were collected on the sign -in sheet that evening. The email would contain an attachment with the map image and a request that people identify sites/unit numbers at home and send them in to the city. I thought the feedback on that suggestion was positive, but I did not ever receive such an email, and am fairly certain one did not get sent out. I was disappointed I That being said, I want to share with you a list that was the result of a'mapping session' with myself and a few residents. This list is in no particular order and the total of all highest unit numbers suggested is far larger than the desired total of units to be included in the Housing Element. IF the high end of the ranges is used sites with ranges, then other sites should be removed. The goal is to end up with far LESS than the 1400 unit number that Staff keeps mentioning. We see no need for that large of a'buffer'. For example, IF Hamptons and Oaks are'maxed', then Glenbrook, Villages and Foothill McClellan could be removed completely.- resulting in 1171 total on 6 sites. That would be enough !! • Hamptons 500-660 • Barry Swenson 11 • Granite Rock 120 • Marina Plaza 180 • Villages 62 • Glenbrook 93-228 • The Oaks 180-200 • Foothill @ McClellan 27 or more Homestead Lanes was also considered as an option. I hope that other such lists were created by residents.
