Recap: November 19 Housing Workshop Community Meeting

L. Claudia Allen Senior Center

On November 19th, the community gathered to learn more about the housing plan requirements for the Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant and give feedback on some of the current potential future layouts of Lake Mann Homes and Lorna Doone Apartments. Approximately 45 community members attended the meeting. 

Michael Kimmey (LRK) presented the main concepts they had drafted as a starting point, including 3 ‘big ideas’ for Lake Mann Homes property and 2 ‘big ideas’ for Lorna Doone Apartments. (presentation found here)

After the ideas were introduced, attendees visited 4 different stations to view and discuss each potential layout. The layouts were constructed with Legos and participants were able to move them around to show different preferred housing types, layouts, and where amenities were located. The feedback given was all recorded and the summaries can be found below by clicking the button.

There was also a separate virtual meeting held for each site (Lake Mann Homes and Lorna Doone Apartments) and their feedback has been incorporated into the summary.
