2025 Comprehensive Plan Update – October 20, 2025
On September 24, 2025 at 5:30 pm a Town Planning Workshop was held at the Knights of Columbus. The purpose of the workshop was to gather the public’s insight into the planning issues facing the City of Flint Hill. Nineteen (19) residents, The Mayor, the Board of Aldermen, members of the City’s Planning Commission, and City Staff all participated in the workshop. The participants were divided into four (4) random Teams and provided Study Area Maps and Workbooks which included nine (9) discussion topics regarding land use, municipal services, transportation, parks, quality of life and future development and preservation. The Teams were instructed to nominate a secretary to record the Team’s recommendations, concerns and wishes, a cartographer to record information on the Study Area Maps, and at least one presenter to present the Team’s findings.
At the end of the work session, each Team presented their findings. It should be noted that each team following the 1st presentation by Team 4, noted key areas of consensus that aligned with the previous presentations. An open discussion among all participants ensued at the end of the workshop where City Staff was able to address actions the City had already undertaken to address traffic congestion, speeding and pedestrian accessible along Main Street (Highway P). Other key areas of consensus including the need to annex additional property, the desire to preserve farmland and open space and the recommendation to promote balanced growth that included large lot, single-family homes, small, family-friendly businesses and avoided high density residential development such as apartments.
