Motion Carried 5-0 Unfinished Business— Comprehensive and Thoroughfare Plan Presentation - Shannon Kohl and Cory Weitzel from HWC presented information on a comprehensive and thoroughfare plan. He spoke about planning for future growth and development and deciding what growth and development look like for the Town. He suggests doing a comprehensive and thoroughfare plan at the same time to plan for changing and growing transportation needs as the Town grows. Using a public survey, suggestions, and input is essential to building a comprehensive plan that works for everyone involved. Land use, economic development, housing, quality of place, parks and recreation, and natural resources are considered within the comprehensive plan. The thoroughfare plan will focus on planning for expansion and adjusting,current roadways, and ensuring that long-term decisions are made for any future roads and additions. The process will generally take around a year, including steering committees presenting the plans to the public and receiving feedback along the way. He recommends that comprehensive plans be revised and updated around every ten years. When asked about how the comprehensive plan of Mooresville will be able to fit into the comprehensive and thoroughfare plans of the County and the communities around Mooresville. Mr. Weitzel stated that those things will be considered, including what the boundaries are today and what those boundaries may look like in 5 to 10 years. Those discussions will need to take place during the planning. A key to the planning phase will be facilitating good conversations between all the interested parties. The comprehensive plan would cost around $125,000 - $150,000. Mr. Weitzel acknowledged that someone might be able to do this planning for less, but those plans typically cut out the public engagement aspect and the action plan part of implementing the plan. Councilman Warthen requested the County's comprehensive plan in addition to examples for other towns to look at and see what those look like to compare those to what the towns may look like and include. Thoroughfare planning will look at things that may need to be set as priorities. While it's not 100% engineered out at the planning stage, additional studies and engineering recommendations can be suggested in the plan. The council members' consensus was reached to look at the plans and decide how to move forward.
