New citizen community planners aim to benefit from others' experiences

This small but historic community, home to descendants of several South Hillsborough pioneering families, is last of the eight distinct areas that comprise the South County to begin its individual planning process. Seven of them – Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, Little Manatee South, Riverview, Ruskin, Sun City Center and Wimauma - now have plans in place, made part of the county’s comprehensive plan. And, for Balm’s interested citizenry that program begins Monday (February 7) during a meeting of the community’s civic association, according to Marcella O’Steen, the organization’s president. Much of the session will be devoted to studying plans created not only in, by and for other South County areas but also from other parts of the county, O’Steen said this week. The meeting is set for 6:30 PM at the Balm Civic Center. O’Steen said she foresees civic association members assembling that evening in several small groups, each reviewing and discussing the merits of a specific community plan based on the final documentation produced at the end of that community’s planning process. These plan “brochures” set forth each community’s vision of its appearance and character in the decades ahead, its optimum goals and objectives related to that character, as well as its strategies for achieving them. The brochures also detail a community’s history and may list any needed capital projects identified in the planning process, along with estimated costs. The various completed plans, she noted, were hashed out under the guidance of different agencies and in differing manners. Ruskin’s, for example, was created with facilitation by planners from Hillsborough’s Planning and Growth Management Department while the Apollo Beach plan was done on a charette basis. In the latter instance, the community outlook was hammered out over a matter of weeks rather than months with the help of a nationally recognized planning expert engaged for the purpose by the county. Some plans have been recognized with awards from professional planning associations, others have not. The association leader also said she is inviting representatives from other communities who participated in their local planning to attend the meeting next Monday and to overview for Balm’s citizen planners the “ins and outs of the process” as they experienced them.
