HomeMy WebLinkAboutFebruary5P6m ffx %t9m V Ved By: Mayor Teresa W Fogler No doubt you are aware that for the past several months we have been en- gaged in a comprehensive planning pro- cess here in West U. The effort began when the Zoning and Planning Commis- sion requested that Council look to the future, to what West U would be like 20 years from now. As our City had redeveloped and as commercial areas and multi-family housing in the surround- ing areas had proliferated over the past decade, there has been little or no con- sideration of the impact these various changes would have on the quality of life families now and in the future would enjoy in West U. The ZPC and the Council agreed that it was time to take a comprehensive look at these issues. Rather than con- tinue to react to changes as they occur, we should proactively manage change in order to protect the things about West U we value. In other words, the goal of this planning process has always I~ Ft 11 ~ ` ito F ~~✓`''y U'. cl Help us. We're going to be two brand new streets in West U and we need names! We're part of the new housing development being built at Bissonnet and Weslayan, in the College Park subdi- vision. As you know, West U has a great tradition of naming streets for colleges, universities, authors, and poets. Maybe we could be part of that tradition. If you have some names for us, let us know. We will check the names for 9-1-1 clearance in Harris Count} and submit eligible entries to the City Council. The selected winning entry will receive a $100 gift certificate from Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Open to West U residents only. On a separate sheet of paper or e-mail, print, type or computer generate your two suggestions and explain in 50 words or less why these names should be added to the West U street name inventory. Send to: The Name's the Game, City of West U, 3800 University Boulevard, West University Place, TX 77005 or to <syeh1@hypercon.com>. Deadline is 5:00 PM February 15, 1999. been to anticipate and deal with change that is already happening or going to hap- pen - whether we like it or not - and to make those changes as palatable as pos- sible. The goal has never been to turn West U into a planned community (heaven forbid) or to change things that are perfectly fine the way they are, just for the sake of having changed them. At the outset, the enormity of the project was overwhelming to all of us, including our professional staff, none of whom had ever overseen such a com- prehensive process. Therefore, we sought outside guidance and hired a team of consultants, headed by The Goodman Corporation. West U has always been a City in which active citizen participa- tion in decision-making is demanded; and accordingly, we fashioned a planning pro- cess centered on citizen involvement. A Steering Committee of 14 residents from a variety of backgrounds and with a va- riety of experiences within our City was - continued on p. 2 Call it "fine" tuning Parking over the side- walk is still against the law, but enforcement will take a more common sense approach, accord- ing to Police Chief Gary Brye. "Strict enforcement of the law identi- fied several problems," said Brye. "Homes on corner lots with short drive- ways and corner restrictions make en- forcement impractical in many cases." As long as residents are complying with the spirit of the law and a pedestrian can walk around the vehicle West U police officers will cut residents some slack in issuing a citation. "Enforcement was directed at reducing safety issues," Brye continued. "If residents are considerate and make an effort to leave a pathway on the sidewalk or driveway we are not forcing people onto the grass or the street." Police are still strictly enforcing corner clearance, fire hydrant clearance and parking in the wrong direction violations. The remodeling is complete! Join us for a new and improved Munici- pal Building. A special ceremony will be held on Saturday, February 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at 3800 University Boulevard.

We sought residents who are property owners in the City center, who have been actively involved with the Tri- Sports organizations, who have been in- volved in West U Elementary, who have served on various City boards and com- missions, as well as volunteers who sim- ply sent us letters describing their ex- pertise and hoping to help. This broad- based group, we thought, would help guide the consultants through the pro- cess of discussing fife in West U and the changes we perceived and antici- pated. We sought and received from the con- sultants and from residents many new ideas and suggestions. Contrary to the beliefs of many, neither Council nor I was the source for most of the ideas. (In fact, several of the ideas discussed did not meet with my personal ap- proval.) But I did not then, nor do I now, believe my role in this process should be to edit the ideas we are to discuss before the discussion has even begun. (My role also should not have been to advocate changes that had not received a consensus of support from the community, but that is another story.) My role is and always has been to lis- ten to the discussion and to try to learn from you what you want for our City. One consistent theme I have heard from you is that you do not want "out- siders" to come into our City and try to tell us what to want, what to perceive the problems are, and what to do to solve them. Although that is not what our consultants were hired to do, I can understand that many of you justifiably believe that is just what they have done. Accordingly, we have decided to elimi- nate The Goodman Corporation from any public role in this process effective immediately and to significantly "downsize" our contract with them in anticipation of completion of their in- volvement in all aspects of the process in the very near future. As for the future of the planning pro- cess itself, it will continue, albeit in a sub- stantially altered state. It will be a resi- dent-driven process, not a consultant- driven process, led by the Steering Com- mittee, the Zoning and Planning Com- mission, the staff, and other interested citizens. We have already added sev- eral new members to the Steering Com- mittee in 1999, and plan to add more. We are abandoning the fast-paced Vi- sion 2020 program in favor of a more low-key and deliberate West U commu- nity planning process. The initial under- taking of this revamped effort will be a city-wide survey soliciting your views on the issues we have identified as "bread and butter" issues - things like better street lighting and sidewalks. We cannot fill all the roles with resi- dents, however. The help of a city plan- ner will still be vital as we complete work on some of the zoning issues and the City center planning. We would like to continue to use the services of Peter Brown for these purposes because he has a valuable base of knowledge of our existing ordinances and has a good rap- port with the City center merchants as well as the City staff and Steering Com- mittee. It also will be necessary to em- ploy designers for any landscape archi- tecture or graphic elements we might decide to pursue, much as we currently employ such individuals now when we redesign a park in our City. Simultaneously, Council will hold two town hall meetings in February to dis- cuss the issue of sidewalks in our com- munity. Should we build a complete sys- tem of sidewalks and when? Does com- plete mean they should go everywhere, or should some streets now without side- walks be left without them to save trees and green space (and money)? Who should pay and how? Should we install pedestrian level street lighting along the sidewalks as we install the sidewalks or should that come at a later or earlier time? We hope you will participate in these open meetings to let us know your opinions on these and any other issues pertaining to sidewalks. Planning for our future is too vital to neglect. The quantity of development occurring around our perimeter is breath- taking. The impact these changes will have on our safety and security, our traf- fic, and our simple enjoyment of life in West University Place could be enourmous. A common refrain at our more contentious meetings has been "Leave us alone." But should we, your civic leaders, sit idly while developers and commercial interest bombard our City with more cars, more concrete, and more people? Or should we try to address these issues now so that our City is pre- pared to act to protect its residents and its way of life when the need arises? I believe leaders who wear blinders are not leaders at all, and that the only re- sponsible path to follow is the path of planning for our future. Town e tl s sidewalks sc I The City Council has scheduled two town meetings to discuss the possibil- ity of a May sidewalk bond referen- dum. The February 15 meeting will begin at 7:00 PM and be held in the Commu- nity Center, 6104 Auden. The meeting on Sunday, February 28 will begin at 2:00 PM and be held in the City Council Chambers, 3800 University Boulevard. The meetings will provide information on sidewalk funding options and costs.'

Linda, born in a small Kentucky town, spent her early years growing up on a farm. She attended school in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia be- fore journeying to the Great State of Texas. She took her first real job with Alfred's of Houston, Inc. working with custom- ers, supervising employees, and admin- istering employee benefits. After six- teen years with Alfred's, Linda decided to change careers. On November 30, 1980 Linda joined the West U team in the personnel and risk management office. According to Linda, she believes this was the best decision of her life. Linda's current du- ties include administering the City's employee benefit programs and coor- dinating the City's risk management ac- tivities, as well as, the additional tasks requested of her. Her dedication to her job and concern for her fellow employ- ees led her to being named employee of the year for 1998. Linda enjoys her grandchildren and gardening. She looks forward to re- tirement and fantasizes about moving to a small town that provides the same level of public service as West U. When asked what is one of the best aspects about her job Linda responds, "the City is a great place to work as a public ser- vant and I get most satisfaction after I have been able to help others in need of service from my office." ~E r- y ~y , ffietoricallg§peaking.. 3 ~ a 5"? versit Place Texas y , .

After eight, often lively, town meet- ings and many smaller neighborhood meetings on the City's comprehensive plan, the City Council has decided to re- vise the process to allow for better citi- zen involvement. "For many residents the perception has been that this comprehensive plan process is consultant driven," said Mayor Teresa Fogler. "We want to make the process resident driven." City Manager Sherman Yehl noted that he failed to recognize the resistance that residents would have to "outsiders" in developing the comprehensive plan. "It is very important that everyone has confidence in the final product we develop," said Yehl. "We need to refocus our energies on having residents take control of the process and have ownership to the recommendations that are ultimately developed."

No suspects or witnesses; case pending further in- formation. (Vision - continued from page 4) According to Yehl, issues such as pedestrian street lighting, sidewalks, traffic calming, City Center development, parks expansion and community identity need to be addressed in both the short and long term. Yehl noted that the January town meeting was successful because residents took an active role in the presentation. Long time resident Russ Schulze of the Steering Committee took the lead in discussing the proposed Stella Link/City of Houston library and the potential acquisition of the YMCA. Members of the Parks & Recreation Board were on hand to provide their perspective on the night's main topic - parks and public spaces. Board member Connie Spencer asked residents to get involved in the future development of the City's parks system. City Council has directed staff to renegotiate the contract with the lead consultant, the Goodman Corporation to reflect the changes in their scope of work and adjust compensation levels accordingly. Yehl noted that outside expertise would still be needed in some areas, particularly in zoning and development matters. WANTED Volunteers needed for the Solid Waste and Recycling Board.
