Create Log Pong Park, A Downtown Park for Apex
After the parking issues are resolved, convert the existing lot on Saunders to a signature destination park. Absorb the old cigar shop if possible along with other adjacent parcels.
Apex Needs a Free, Publicly Funded Parking Structure
[NOTE: Recent parking studies have indicated we don’t yet need to build out additional parking. But when we do someday, this is what I want it to look like and where I want it to be]
Build a free, public parking structure behind where Scratch kitchen is. No paid parking. No public/private partnerships.
Apex Should Ban Test Drives on Town Roads
Now that we’re suddenly adjacent to multiple car dealerships, we need an ordinance to ban test driving of vehicles on town owned roads.
Evolve Apex’s Government Structure
Apex has outgrown our current government structure, which is more appropriate for a small village. Change the town council to six members, four of which run in districts and two run at large. Change the mayor to be a “voting” mayor with more executive authority. Change the name of the Town Council to Board of Alderman, to better mark the distinction and get people to notice.
Create an Environmental Review Board
Create an environmental review board, a citizens advisory board which is a peer of the planning board, purely to review the environmental impact of a proposed rezoning considering all mitigations offered by the developer and make an approval or denial recommendation.
Reset the Apex Planning Board
The Planning Board is doing the wrong job. Clarify that the Apex Planning Board’s mission is to provide subjective judgement on the value of a development to the town, from a citizens perspective. Increase the membership by one, decrease the length of the terms, simplify the process for removing members.
Remove all or almost all current members, and start fresh.
