Work Plan Task 1 Our proposed work plan for this project is based on our previous discussions and our understanding of your goals for the development area. Each task is outlined below with an estimated number of anticipated meetings and task deliverables. For clarity purposes we have divided this work into 5 major tasks and have included additional task options at the end of this work plan (although some tasks will overlap): Task 1) Site Investigation Task 2) Concept/Schematic Design (including Cost Estimates) Task 3) Construction Administration (Optional) Site Investigation of Existing Conditions and Past Studies. We will work with city staff to determine the boundaries of our study area, which will generally focus on the area where the two buildings were removed but will include an analysis of the entire public parking area. We will analyze the property and the community needs to develop concepts that meet the needs of the community, including the City, HRA, Downtown Businesses and residents. We will work with staff to define goals, objectives and help you build on the downtown vision that you've discussed in order to address existing parking needs and plan for optional improvements. Establishing the vision is integral to the design process and your concept plan options. A well informed plan is created when a design team and project leaders understand and set a vision for the project. The main goal of this task is to understand the history of the site, the goals of the community and ultimately lead to preparation of concept plan alternatives. Landform will: a) Contact City and other relevant parties to gain an understanding of the application process, overall site development issues and site constraints. Collect data to identify development issues and to provide background information. b) Review applicable zoning, subdivision, and Watershed regulations. c) Prepare site analysis maps or diagrams of adjacent local and regional land use, context, site orientation, transportation patterns, etc., illustrating influences on site development. d) Gather plans, maps and aerial photos as needed to gain an understanding of the site and influences on its development. e) Prepare a project approval schedule. We will work with you to define goals, objectives and help you build on the vision that you've discussed in order to articulate and guide the design toward a successful plan far the future.
