Question
Should "Enhance downtown parking lot signage" be called out as a specific project?

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:25PM on page 56

Question
This should be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Consider removing this item?

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:19PM on page 50

Suggestion
The paragraph needs to be rewritten - doesn't read very smoothly.

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:17PM on page 48

Question
Given there are no resources to be found, should this even be listed?

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:16PM on page 47

Question
Examples?

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:15PM on page 47

Suggestion
Awkwardly written

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:14PM on page 47

Suggestion
Insert "of" here?

Miles Nov 7 2024 at 4:13PM on page 46

Suggestion
Awkwardly written

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:49AM on page 44

Suggestion
Suggest deleting this entire sentence.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:48AM on page 44

Suggestion
New owners will be in place as of December 31st.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:29AM on page 37

Suggestion
No comma needed here.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:27AM on page 34

Question
Should things like "tiny houses" and ADU's be included in this plan? As far as I can tell these are pretty niche housing options and their economic viability is far from proven. Wouldn't we be better served directing our energies towards more proven housing options?

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:18AM on page 32

Question
This would require a clear, compelling mission and vision. What would this group do that's not already being done? One of the challenges we had with the Downtown Association was that it didn't have a clear purpose and it wasn't doing anything that could not be better led by the Chamber.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:16AM on page 32

Question
I'm not aware of anything, what is the disconnect?

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:12AM on page 31

Suggestion
This is not correct, the City does not have sufficient hotel rooms.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:10AM on page 31

Question
What does "fostering multi-generational opportunities" mean? How would this accomplished? Do you have examples?

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:09AM on page 31

Question
What does "infilling these gaps of the building massing" mean?

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:08AM on page 31

Question
Can "reducing the need for demolishing buildings" be expanded upon? How would this be accomplished?

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:07AM on page 31

Suggestion
This needs additional explanation, also a number of technical terms appear with no explanation of what they are.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:04AM on page 30

Suggestion
Needs rewriting.

Miles Nov 6 2024 at 10:02AM on page 30

Suggestion
This does not read right. Needs rewriting.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:21PM on page 50

Suggestion
Do we really have the mountain bike infrastructure here? I think the cycling is legitimate with the trails and the river is a growing place for paddlers.

What isn't noted here is the competitive sports traffic that we get which is likely larger than the other recreational items. There are a lot of youth sports tournaments that bring a lot of visitors with volleyball, hockey, softball and baseball bringing in large amounts of people on weekends.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:16PM on page 45

Suggestion
First sentence doesn't read correct. Take out the during the County fair part.

In general the fairgrounds is well utilized but it could even have more events to bring visitors to Hutchinson.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:14PM on page 45

Suggestion
I would take out for families and just say possible community center. The parks plans has plans for an expanded rec center that may serve the community center need. The area at the Cenex site can be a civic building that has nice space overlooking the river but it may or may not be a community center.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:10PM on page 35

Question
Is there a photo of a more traditional tiny house?
in reply to Michael's comment

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:08PM on page 29

Question
Need to verify if this is still being discussed. I thought MITGI wasn't going to participate because if the grand didn't come through they would owe $17,000 for stormwater pond design.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:04PM on page 20

Suggestion
2 or two-weeks? I thought if it was less than 10 you spelled the number out.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 5:03PM on page 20

Suggestion
Under the steering committee section...I would note it was driven by the City and the EDA.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:55PM on page 19

Question
the text in the cartoon bubbles isn't readable. Is it intended to be or is it for graphic purposes?

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:53PM on page 18

Question
would it read better to say 'downtown' instead of 'their downtown'?
in reply to Miles's comment

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:52PM on page 16

The discussion regarding this had been that we only have so much market demand and if we try to build new retail space it likely means existing retail space that is vacant will remain vacant.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:50PM on page 14

Suggestion
might be better to say redevelopment. The building will likely be torn down and something rebuilt.

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:48PM on page 7

Suggestion
We draw a lot of visitors from West, SW and NW. Does it make sense to have Hutchinson more centered on this map?

Dan Jochum Nov 4 2024 at 4:46PM on page 5

Suggestion
I thought we made this area smaller at the last meeting noting it should end at Lind St NW.

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:58PM on page 23

Suggestion
These paragraphs could use an editorial polish.

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:51PM on page 20

Suggestion
Infamous means 'known for some bad quality or deed.' Perhaps this should be 'famous' or 'notable' or something with a more positive connotation.

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:47PM on page 16

Suggestion
Should there be recognition of the fact that sometimes the limited available square footage of older buildings makes them very difficult to reuse? Sometimes they're too small to be economically viable....

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:45PM on page 16

Suggestion
Can this be expanded? I don't understand the rationale for this suggestion.

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:42PM on page 15

Suggestion
This red dot seems out of place. This is a cornfield.

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:42PM on page 14

Question
Should 'PMA' be spelled out?

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:40PM on page 10

Suggestion
Another weakness would be inadequate signage for public parking

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:38PM on page 10

Suggestion
Suggest "encourages"

Miles Nov 4 2024 at 3:37PM on page 10

Suggestion
Should this be re-worded for clarity? This applies to pretty much every town in America.

Matt Jaunich Nov 1 2024 at 5:31PM on page 9

Question
I see we have it here. Does the one on the previous page need to be updated?

Matt Jaunich Nov 1 2024 at 5:25PM on page 5

Suggestion
I know we talked about not extending this box as far to the west as it is shown in this drawing. Just wanted to bring that reminder up.

Michael Nov 1 2024 at 10:24AM on page 39

Suggestion
An incomplete sentence.

Michael Nov 1 2024 at 10:19AM on page 34

Suggestion
2nd paragraph needed here and if so, consider a space between the paragraphs?

Michael Nov 1 2024 at 10:16AM on page 32

Suggestion
something is missing here ('to' filter), it doesn't read right as it is now

Michael Nov 1 2024 at 10:14AM on page 32

Suggestion
Jim Fahey and family have two AirBnB/VRBOs in process also at Franklin and Washington

Michael Nov 1 2024 at 10:12AM on page 31

Suggestion
out and about (instead of out an about)
