HANSEN, V. E. DRAFT MASTER PLAN FOR STELLA, MISSOURI - 20 FEBRUARY 2007, 1900 HOURS. Presented at Draft Master Plan for Stella, Missouri, Stella, MO, February 20, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
to present information
Description:
The application of sustainability to place is the outcome of responding to human needs and expectations within economic, social, and environmental constraints and desired performance of these systems. These constraints and performance requirements of these systems provides a way to measure whether land-use decisions to meet human goals are appropriate in the long term. Our first application of this strategy is to develop a master plan for the town of Stella, Missouri. A public meeting was held in August 2006 where/when the community was encouraged to inform us of their needs, wants, and values. We used community input to guide planning responses and used the essential attributes of economic, social, and environmental systems to evaluate whether planning responses were sufficient to keep economic, social, and natural systems intact. Those responses that met citizen objectives and systems integrity were illustrated graphically on a draft master development plan and presented to citizens to make certain that we accurately interpreted and responded to community input.
