Sorry - I see the urban forest is addressed further down in the document.

I am surprised and disappointed to see that the environment section of the Comp Plan has nothing about preserving and enhancing the urban canopy and following our Tree City policies. There is plenty of data on how an urban canopy affects the physical and mental health of residents and how Black neighborhoods tend to have less of a canopy. The urban canopy should be addressed in this plan. Also, with the recent creation of a Climate Officer position in the city, the Comp Plan should include verbiage that connects that position to neighborhood planning. This is REALLY important for the intent of this lasting document.

Stormwater engineering seems like a technical issue that would not be served well by additional community workshops. These workshops could provide a small number of people the opportunity to block the development of needed affordable housing under the pretext of environmental issues.

This is good however without the proper hiring of staff management of these newly acquired nature preserves will be inadequate. This will prevent them from utilizing their full conservational value. As we know Floridas ecosystems are based on Fire ecology.

Suggestion
Whenever a target date is set we must add realistic benchmarks (say, every 2 or 3 years) on the path to that target. Then, if any benchmarks is not met there has to be adjustments made so that the target date is met.

Suggestion
Environmental Justice must apply to more than diverse human groups, but also to the organisms and their environment. Thus EJ requires maintaining unpolluted aquifers and atmosphere.

Jon Reiskind Oct 28 2021 at 8:46PM on page 6

Suggestion
Add measures of access to nature parks and areas, sand their quality (e.g. educational elements so that the neighborhoods gain knowledge of the importance of the natural, healthy environment to everyone, including people).

Jon Reiskind Oct 28 2021 at 8:42PM on page 6

Suggestion
Need to add measures of quality of the natural areas including inventories of the flora and fauna, biodiversity indices, etc. Certain species will act as indirect measures of the healthiness of the adjacent human community.

Let's make sure we know how we're going to capture the data and that we have well documented/defined data integrity

ama Oct 27 2021 at 2:27PM on page 7

Suggestion
The statement in bold is more bold than the explanation supports. Is this attainable? We need to manage expectations. If this is more of a feasibility/planning exercise than an implementation/action plan we need to be transparent and clear. This will help build trust and manage expectations internally and with the community.

Question
1, 2 and 4 seem hard to measure, how would that be done?

Question
Is public health data readily available and do we have the KSA to interpret and apply it?

ama Oct 27 2021 at 2:17PM on page 5

Question
Have we done a fiscal review of the plan to come up with some high level cost estimates to be able to deliver intended outcomes? I imagine an environmental justice study isn't cheap and I want to set the City up to succeed and deliver on the full plan...

Suggestion
perhaps identifying responsible parties by function as opposed to by department would be more clear to the reader

ama Oct 27 2021 at 2:08PM on page 3

Question
Is there evidence of the direct cause-effect or is this evident on face value or is this not a necessary criteria to address nuisance flooding & new funding sources or other?

Question
Does Public Works know about this responsibility? Need to make sure staff is aware of the work, is properly trained and resourced to succeed.

We should consider or start using a longer planning horizon

Do we have projections of population growth for this reason? Can we work on this if we don't have?

tax big businesses and food corps that throw away more than 1,000 dollars a week in food.

Suggestion
GRU should encourage in conjunction with the planning board's new development mandate. that all new development has solar arrays included in their urban design.

Mikehill228 Oct 21 2021 at 10:14PM on page 7

Suggestion
PUT SOLAR ON CITY HALL AND THE OLD LIBARY.

Mikehill228 Oct 21 2021 at 10:13PM on page 7

Suggestion
this is good however if you want to pursue energy infrastructure development it must be equitable and not follow the same route as the archer solar power facility. If the development of solar and green energy happens and it impacts neighbors then there needs to be an incentive to those neighbors.

Mikehill228 Oct 20 2021 at 11:02AM on page 4

Suggestion
All new development should pay and include flood mitigation soil contamination mitigation, green energy infacstructure tree canopy and landscape conservation with strictly native plants community gathering green spaces and community gardens.

Mikehill228 Oct 20 2021 at 10:59AM on page 3

This is important as old homes have septic which is a threat to water quality.

When would this be done?

Debra Neill-Mareci Oct 7 2021 at 2:16PM on page 7

Question
Hopefully, your targets will be those people in low income neighborhoods who have the least resources and energy to accomplish the changes so badly needed- they pay the most for everything due to poor housing, older high energy appliances, etc. What incentives can you offer them to learn more about it? and how can it be turned into a neighborhood effort that involves social interaction for more success?

Debra Neill-Mareci Oct 7 2021 at 2:13PM on page 7

Suggestion
This has happened as of Oct 2021. You should note it has begun in this document so the progress and data can be collected over time to see how successful it has been.
