Renew 50 Update
May 12, 2023
We have analyzed the 270 household inputs from the emails, comment sheets, and public comments. While this represents about 11% of our community, the input and the voice of the Property Owners describes the original strawman Oyster Catcher & Lake House proposal as too grand in scale. 29% of the 270 households were not supportive of any facilities changes – no investment. 60% support the objective of addressing the Lake House utilization need, but at a lower cost (56%), reduced scope, and/or low country architecture (51%). The team has heard this input and is brainstorming lower cost, various locations, different style and smaller scope alternatives.
We plan to reach out to the 89% of the community we have not heard from to see what’s on their minds. We believe a simple survey is the appropriate tool. We plan to share one or two lower cost, smaller scale, low country design rough ideas. We believe the use of ‘Focus Groups’ would help flush out these ideas. In addition, we plan to create a video or two explaining the Lake House utilization analysis. We have already communicated the analysis with Part 1 and Part 2 articles, which are posted on the website.
