MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL VOTE

by Larry Wallenstein

Your Association has worked for more than 20 years to improve the quality of life in Victoria Park. Volunteer members have spent countless hours, taking your input to develop a new master plan for the neighborhood.

Through a grant obtained by the VPCA, a Phase One document was completed and during the last 12 months members of the Association have been working to come up with ideas for Phase Two and to pick a planning organization to help us achieve our goals.

Your Master Plan Committee has chosen EDSA from a list of candidates to carry forward our efforts to create the future vision of Victoria Park. EDSA, a planning, landscape design and urban architecture fi rm located on Broward Boulevard has worked diligently under your committee’s guidance to prepare to create a Phase Two document which will outline our vision and specifi c steps for the neighborhood to take during the coming decade.

But this plan cannot be created without a vote of the Association’s general membership. If approved, this plan will cost $26,000, will be paid for with Association funds as well as a $15,000 grant we will apply for - now available through Broward County.

EDSA will make a presentation to the Association on Wednesday September 3, 2008 at 7PM at the St. Anthony’s School Cafeteria. At the end of the presentation members will be able to ask questions and then a vote will be taken to approve the plan.

The presentation will include:

Overview of EDSA

EDSA Project Approach

Discussion of Key Deliverables

The project will be invoiced on a monthly basis, based on the percentage of completion.

Please join us for this important discussion about the future of your neighborhood on Wednesday September 3rd at 7 PM.
