All of the features in this list are possible but there will be delays. We proceed with Item 2. Citizens here in the neighborhood prefer to think of this web site "document" as a guidance document, describing and analyzing the current neighborhood, describing the future as we see it and want it to become (which may be very different), naming the things we wish to continue and retain, and then specifying ways that we see to achieve that future, including preventing certain things from happening to us.

Seeing the future is difficult and different backgrounds, experiences, studies, and values easily produce different views and expectations for that future. Group planning involves sharing those views and coming to low-risk agreement on what the future could be with work by the group and its tax-paid assistants, and then beginning work to achieve that desired future.

Herein a well-known and often recommended approach to planning is used. It does not need a name -- it simply starts with clarifying the thing being planned, listing and assigning estimates of approximate value to objectives, collecting and establishing a flow of information and data, creating cost-effective processes, creating feedback or corrective and adjusting actions, and developing formal means to try to see into the future and to shape as well as to prepare now for that future.

This plan is on the web and undergoing changes and revisions -- editing, additions, new data, new maps, results of surveys, corrections, and even new chapters as they are developed. The original version (the one approved by Town Council on a specific date) is available at a mere click. This dynamic plan becomes available conveniently as a page, a figure, a map, or a chapter at a time -- or in its entirety . We believe that each of the neighborhoods of the Town will prepare excellent plans and that all may benefit from past work, each not necessarily having to do unique, ground-breaking work. To the extent that they can use the format and content of this Plan Supplement, the citizens of this neighborhood will be pleased. We plan to use, with permission, beneficial parts of their plan supplements as they become available. Plans that we have seen over many years are very similar. There seems little to be gained when every neighborhood must re-do or re-write things held in common by all citizens of the Town. Revising, editing, and improving are all recommended, but then energy can probably be better spent creatively in developing a neighborhood for future citizens.

Citizens have expressed for years that plans are "those dusty books on the shelf" and that they were "out of date before delivered from the printer." We are determined that these claims do not befall our work. Thus, our plan, a dynamic system, is shown and available for use herein (or "hereon") this website.

Please recognize that this is a planning document, providing suggestions only, and only a few citizens have seen it but all parts developed to date are available to everyone via the world-wide-web. It has not yet been discussed. It is presented here only to encourage advice and suggestions from the Town staff and neighbors, and to further the plan-formation process. Our objective was to complete the Plan Supplement by August 31, 2001. Town planners later suggested a more brief document and inputs in conventional means and in public meetings.
