This kind of cooperation was a first-time experiment that yielded great results. The groups were coming to the table to co-operate and vision a health future rather than to cite personal difference or quote historical divisions between local organizations. The result was incredible- a highly professional document with insight from so many gifted people- builders, architects, planners, realtors, community organizers, restaurateur,  The document guides new development by asking thought provoking questions to developers rather than imposing rules or stifling creative approaches. Thanks again to the Design Advocacy Group for their earlier work that paved the way, and thanks to the NKCDC whose paid staff summoned this committee, took minutes, prepared an attractive document with a Powerpoint for the community.The end result is that the local Civic Groups would adopt the Guidelines as a means of promoting well-thought development in the area. We have learned that FNA has adopted the Guidelines. The recommendation of the committee members was to adopt the Guidelines for EKNA territory. EKNA membership has been presented with the information in September, and was asked to review for an upcoming vote on adoption. Members were reminded at the November meeting. Vote will be taken in January.   Click Here for the NDG final draft——> Neighborhood Design Guidelines 07′ (final draft)
