Plan goes back for another draft

Current update on the Wyndham Village Development:
The Developer has chosen to pull the plans on the project to address the concern from neighbors and the commission as to some discrepancies/missing/incorrect information in the plan. Please take a look at the latest Journal Sentinel Article posted May 2 2007. Thanks to all that made their voices loud and asked for the best plan. Here is a copy of the plan that is on its way back to being revised. Although I cannot provide pictures of the site plan, and they are not on the website of the Planning Commission (nor is a copy of the plan), I invite you to call the planning office or stop in and get a copy of the plan to review for yourself. The address for the 9229 W. Loomis Road in Franklin Wisconsin 53132 the phone number is 414-425-4024. The contact that I have for questions regarding the project: Ashley Booth (Senior Planner.)

Another concerned neighbor John Michlig is a host to many a conversation concerning this development and has really helped to get the word out and conversation flowing. John's site is called Sprawled Out: The Search for Community in the American Suburb, and I encourage all to visit. I appreciate that he is taking a good look into the project, he isn't against business and development; the thing he is doing is asking the questions that need to be asked of all parties involved in this plan like, "Can't we do something a little better for everyone?" and "Do we want to go ahead with a plan that in a few years may be an eyesore, or may loose money over?" or "Don't we want something that will bring people together in a space and not alienate our community into fractions?"


The more time and care is taken when plans like this are proposed, the more I feel we have an opportunity to come together and really get what we want and not what we settle for. We have an opportunity to see our voices come together do draft the future of our mutual community.
