EXCERPTS FROM DAILYUNION.COM, JEFFERSON COUNTY: Whitewater officials gathered for a “charrette” — a French word meaning “collaborative design” — Wednesday to confront the related issues of zoning, housing and neighborhoods within the city.
The Whitewater Common Council, Whitewater Planning and Architectural Review Commission and Whitewater Community Development Authority (CDA) held the specialized joint session at the Innovation Center. Sixteen people were present; there was some overlap in positions, such as councilperson Lynn Binnie, who also serves on the Plan Commission, and councilperson Stephanie Goettl Vander Pas, who also is a member of the CDA Board.
The two-hour session was facilitated by Mike Slavney of Vandewalle and Associates, which is the city’s planning consultant. Read the full story here.
