Taking the time to plan better
I attended my first James City County Planning Commission meeting recently to commend the commission on deferring the Williamsburg Pottery application. The previous Prime Outlets and Pottery plans were deferred. The commission challenged them to come up with a different way of doing business. Prime Outlets not only responded, but went above and beyond.
The new plan was a crystal ball into the future of responsible development in James City County. Benches will be placed among beautiful, landscaped promenades. Also, pavers - a different product than usual - will be used to reduce runoff, and the water that is collected will be used to water the landscaping. Proffers for sophisticated water drainage were included. Buildings will be constructed with historical touches and, more importantly, energy conservation in mind.
Landscaping to restore 'jewel'
A specialist stone company is set to revamp parts of Knightstone Island as work on the site comes to a close this Spring.The firm will landscape and renovate public areas of the island, while Redrow Homes continues to create luxury housing on the private areas.North Somerset Council has awarded a contract worth more than £120,000 to Afan Landscapes. The company will create a 'rock skirt' around the island's edge along the public footpath. This will involve putting an attractive rock formation between the buildings and the footpath, while seating will also be built into the rocks.A rockery will also be created in the middle of the carriage drive and it is hoped the landscaping project will fit in with the rest of the seafront.North Somerset councillor John Crockford-Hawley, responsible for strategic planning and transport, made the decision to award the contract.He said: "Come the summer we shall see Knightstone arise as a seafront jewel after many years of neglect and decay."High quality apartments will add a touch of residential style and help boost local businesses with an increased demand for restaurants and other leisure facilities.
Tom Funke to talk about adding wildlife to your own back yard
"While you may not be a skilled artist, there is a living canvas which you can personally adorn with real cardinals, bluebirds, deer and ducks - the landscape" so states Carrol Henderson in his book "Landscaping for Wildlife." This book is recommended by wildlife expert, Tom Funke, who uses an ecological approach in his many efforts to support wildlife. We all can create landscapes with many plant species and hardscape to support an abundance of beautiful wildlife. Funke will be speaking at a community-wide meeting on April 3, 2007. He will discuss the four basic needs of wildlife - food, water, shelter and space. He will share ecological concepts necessary to fulfill the major habitat needs of specific wildlife. And, will even touch on what can be done on farmland to provide for wildlife.
