Any new development needs to be built with resilience in mind.
Shining Hills is a small area with great potential for building a net-zero, "active transportation" community, fully energy self-sufficient with distributed power, (solar panels on every roof), natural areas, vegetable gardens and greenhouses, all electric services (no natural gas) with modest sized, compact houses opening on to wide walkways - no lawns and no asphalt. All hard surfaces to be permeable, and with rain-water collection. There would be EV charging points at every front door, and an EV car club for those who don't want to own a car. And of course as many trees and shrubs as could be jammed in!
If we are to approve a new development on these lands - let's make sure it is built for the future, with resilience in mind..
