1. How would you implement your top priority?
|
Answer from W. Roger Fry:
Our 1,3 and 5 acre zoning has stood the test of time well however in order too continue to preserve it, requests for variances from it must be reviewed carefully and, with our new construction, our resource protection laws must be utilized. We should also encourage the use of conservation easements. All land use ordinances must be written and enforced with our green areas and inviolate residential zoning in mind.

2. Numerous important issues including transportation, land use planning, housing and economic development for the Greater Hamilton County regions are being deliberated by OKI's Land Use Commission and Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission and Planning Partnership COMPASS; how engaged should local government be in these planning activities? If elected, how would you participate in these planning activities?
|
Answer from W. Roger Fry:
Indian Hill, through designated council people, will continue to participate in regional land use, housing and transportation issues. Improving existing city and county housing and living conditions rather than watching the exodus to new homes in outlining areas is a priority. This would result in economic development within the region and would be a benefit to all who love Cincinnati.

3. Ohio Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Recycling Coalition conducted a state-specific study and found recycling businesses in Ohio generated $650.6 million dollars in state government revenue. If elected how would you promote recycling and support recycling programs currently in place in your community to reduce solid waste generation?
|
Answer from W. Roger Fry:
Indian Hill established a recycling program through the efforts of its Green Areas Commission quite a few years ago. People here recognized the importance of recycling. It is noteworthy that it is a voluntary program, however practically every resident participates. City Council has willingly and unanimously provided the necessary funding for trucks, bins and pick-up service. This program, which can only become better, is here to stay in this community.
