Resident urges creation of long‑range planning committee and Master Plan for Key Colony Beach
Summary
Resident Lynne Benton asked the commission to establish a long‑range planning committee to create a Master Plan to preserve the city's character, proposing extensive citizen participation and offering to volunteer.
During the citizen‑comment portion of the May 21 meeting, resident Lynne Benton asked the commission to create a long‑range planning committee to develop a Master Plan that would define and preserve Key Colony Beach's character over time.
Benton cited the city's recent infrastructure work and said a Master Plan would provide an enduring vision and prevent piecemeal decisions tied to changing administrations. She proposed a committee with extensive citizen participation and suggested appointing a commissioner as a liaison. In written material included in the meeting packet, Benton offered sample vision language, including the phrase she suggested as an iconic core vision: "Honestly Now, What's Your Hurry? You're Here." The clerk confirmed the correspondence (May 19) is in the public record and that Benton volunteered to participate as a committee member.
Mayor Foster and commissioners did not take formal action on the request at the meeting; the letter and presentation are part of the public record for future consideration.
