IIII1Implementation of RecommendationsThe identification of implementation strategies or actions the borough needs to undertake to attain itsgoal and objectives is an integral component of the comprehensive planning process. By identifyingthese strategies, the framework is provided for coordinated action that will enable the borough toaccommodate anticipated growth, while preserving its unique character and natural and historicresources. The implementation strategies will serve as benchmarks of progress in implementing theborough’s policies. It must be noted, however, that this listing of strategies is not exhaustive or allencompassing. Also, some of the implementation strategies are already being conducted within theborough. The emphasis here is to promote coordinated effort and partnership in the program tosuccessfully implement the borough’s comprehensive plan.Recommended StrategiesFor each of the objectives, implementation strategies have been developed. Each strategy should bethe responsibility of one or more borough departments or organizations and should be implementedwithin a given time frame. The time frames for implementation are ongoing, short term, middleterm, and long term. Ongoing describes efforts that are currently taking place and which shouldcontinue into the future. Short term efforts should commence soon after plan adoption. Middle termefforts should start 3 to 5 years after plan adoption. Groundwork laid by short and middle termefforts must take place before many of the long term efforts can be implemented 5 to 10 years afterplan adoption.Objective I:Protect Natural Environment1IIIIIiIShort termShort termMiddle termMiddle termMiddle termInclude model tree protection standards in the subdivision and landdevelopment ordinance to protect trees and woodlands on development sites.- Planning commission, borough councilInclude steep slope protection standards in the zoning ordinance to protectslopes on development sites.- Planning commission, borough councilForm a partnership with adjacent municipalities and identify groundwaterrecharge and wellhead protection areas and adopt zoning restrictions and othertechniques to protect these sensitive natural resources.- Planning commission, borough councilPrepare a water supply plan cooperatively with New Britain Borough andTownship.- Borough council, planning commissionEstablish regular maintenance program for stormwater management facilities.- Public works departmentObjective II: Provide Variety of Housing OpportunitiesShort termAdopt zoning provisions that allow for flexible residential opportunities such asconversions and elder cottages, where appropriate.- Planning commission, borough councilChalfont Borough Comprehensive Plan Update Draft 13,
