Steve,
The second neighborhood meeting was conducted last Thursday, January 24, 2013 at the Woodville
Elementary School.
The attendance was low, which was unexpected given that it was clearly announced that this
meeting would present more specific development plans. The information provided included a
preliminary site plan for the proposed cottages on the parcel not included in the comp plan
amendment and a preliminary development plan for the parcels which are part of the comp plan
amendment.
However, the attendees that were present did provide comments, questions and several
opportunities to work together on improvements to the pedestrian and traffic movements in the
area.
Nancy Stokely, principle of Woodville Elementary, discussed the traffic congestion at Natural
Bridge’s intersection with Woodville Highway. It was noted that the school buses cause a large
portion of the traffic back-up down Natural Bridge, resulting from buses trying to make a left turn
on Woodville Highway. Construction of a left turn lane would significantly help the situation and
allow vehicles to proceed with a right-turn. This intersection improvement is relatively affordable
versus a four-laned Woodville Highway, for example. In addition, Ms. Stokely mentioned that
there may be grant money available for the construction of sidewalks, which are lacking in the area
and pose a safety hazard to the elementary students walking to and from school.
This meeting was significantly different in character than the initial neighborhood open house
meeting. There was very little negativity and the meeting concluded with a pledge from the
development team to work with the community and school to bring about the possible roadway
improvements and additional sidewalks.

treatment plant is expanded (whether during phase 1 or 2). A bit of good news is that the most
