2011 Carroll County Master Plan Update


On January 11, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners rejected the Master Plan document approved by the Planning Commission on October 19, 2010. The Board of County Commissioners provided their set of goals for the Master Plan as guidance to the Commission in revising the document. Click here to view the Commissioners' recommendations. The 2010 draft document is being used as a starting point for the development of a revised Master Plan.

[B' Spokes: Something is not right here, you can have smart growth without townhouses. Do people really want to "escape" smart growth or do they just want to get away from dumb incomplete communities where "the developer knows best" run a muck as they seem to be advocating for here? Or is it just the plain and simple "drive till you qualify"?

We are planning for the long term and we do not have any guaranties the cost of using single occupancy vehicles (SOV) will go down, in fact trends are pointing to the cost of SOV will continue to go up. So does it really make sense to plan communities where transportation costs will exceed the cost of home ownership?

Still the main point is if you live in Carroll County get involved, that is unless you want to see Carroll County turned into sprawl central and developers turning a quick buck with no thought to consequences down the road.]

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
