the purpose of tonight's meeting is as a follow -up of the implementation plan and that the update is in
concert with the University. Ms. Foutz added that the focus is different than the original plan and that It is an
implementation plan rather than a land use plan and that it is market based. She explained that the team
concentrated on looking at the plan and conditions in order to determine a way to facilitate private
development and red in the area, also looking at barriers and how they may be overcome.
Additionally, there is a lot of land use planning associated with the plan.
