Former mayor Steve recounts decades of planning choices that shaped Eagle
Summary
Steve, a long-serving local official and P&Z member, walked through major subdivision decisions, school-site negotiations and how staff and P&Z influenced better outcomes for the city.
Steve (speaker S5) — who described multiple decades in local government, including terms as mayor and 10 years on Planning & Zoning — told the joint meeting that careful conditions and early vetting created better projects for Eagle. He cited Lexington Hills, Edgewood and the role of a Horizons task force in shaping the comprehensive plan.
"When I was mayor we put together the task force, Horizons task force, was when we took the comprehensive plan..." Steve said, adding that negotiating land and infrastructure for schools was often a decisive element. He credited staff for being proactive: "we have a great planning and zoning staff that looks at these things and gives guidelines to people so even when they get to P & Z, they know the kinds of things that they needed to have adjusted."
