4.4 APPENDIX C: PUBLIC INPUT SURVEY RESULTS Place no restrictions on residential wind turbines Require no minimum parking lot sizes in zoning codes Additional Input Good meeting. Interesting graphs on energy use, both residential and commercial. More people need to understand where we are today. The light rail study that was done several years ago is more pertinent than ever. While I firmly believe that there is much individual homeowners can do to reduce the community's footprint, I feel that the majority of waste comes from commercial and industrial waste. I think that a combined effort of rewards and penalties by the city could have great effects. Olympian Drive is the opposite of what the city should be pursuing - it flies counter to sustainable development and the goal of this plan. We can - and should - do better. This process is great! We're going to need to show some quick successes or give an annual report of progress so we can feel like we are steadily making progress towards our goals and have some achievements we can celebrate. We need to tell City Council and the public what investment we need to make in order to make this a success. This may take staffing or marketing/outreach budgets or incentive programs and we need to be realistic and optimistic at the same time about doing this project in a big enough way that we truly make the difference. I would like recycling available in every business, especially restaurants. 5 City of Urbana 79
