Growth is all around us. Growth is all we hear. Some of us are involved in growth every day. Is it good? Is it bad? Many of us don't want to see growth happen so quickly; many don't want growth at all, especially in their neighborhood. But growth will happen anyway. And why do so many fear it? Maybe it is because they are afraid of the way it will. look_ Will our growth take the form of an elegant oak in a green field along side the road .. Or will it be just so many weeds along side that same road ? WHEN others see our community, what do they see? Do they see an area of unified thoughts and plans? OR DO THEY SEE A JUMBLED MASS OF INCOMPATIBLE IDEAS, MANY OF WHICH ARE DRIVEN BY THE BOTTOM LINE. Will our grand children look back and wonder, "What were they thinking of ?" or will they look back on what we've done with a sense of pride in their heritage? 0r. I think it's time to address the issue of 'what will our ............................................ ............................... community n1:y look ten, twenty, even forty years from now. Let's start by putting some teeth into our 'Architect.uel Harmony' rhetoric. Let's not have anymore growth of urban sprawl, like SR 50, that runs thru our city. I applaud the intention and the spirit of the new hospital but I regret not being able to have some 'say' about the exterior. ": :z: propose that this board adopt a resolution to develop and implement a comprehensive architectual standard by which all architects, developers, builders and contractors, and the general public will recognize as that of the city of Ocoee. Discussion anyone? Robert M. McKey, Citizen and P & Z board Memk::>er.
