MEMORANDUM Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. ©® <br /> To: City of Elk River <br /> From: Rusty FifieldBrad Scheib <br /> Subject: Comprehensive Plan <br /> Date: May 30,2003 <br /> This memo introduces the first draft of the Comprehensive Plan. This document is submitted for review <br /> and comment by the Comprehensive Plan Task Force,boards and commissions and city staff. <br /> The phrase "first draft" is key to understanding the nature of this document. It is a draft. The current <br /> form of the Comprehensive Plan reflects our recommendations for contents of the Plan. In preparing this <br /> draft we have drawn upon information collected during the planning process, evaluations made by the <br /> Task Force and our own professional judgment and experience. The draft Plan is a framework for <br /> continued discussion and evaluation. It is not a final product, but the first step in the processing of <br /> finalizing the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> In considering the draft we encourage you to remember that creating the Comprehensive Plan is a process <br /> of building consensus. Personal agendas must be balanced with broader community needs. The objective <br /> of the plan review process is to create the best Plan for Elk River. It is unlikely that everyone will fully <br /> support every aspect of the Plan. This process will involve the synthesis of input from a wide range of <br /> sources. <br /> There are a limited number of meetings to receive comments on the Plan. The scope of work contains <br /> three plan review workshops. This process requires persons and groups participating in the process to do <br /> their homework prior to the workshops. The workshops will not provide a page-by-page review of the <br /> Plan. The review process will consist of an overview of each section, a discussion of policies and <br /> implementation initiatives, and a discussion of issues and concerns identified by workshop participants. <br /> As a reminder,the calendar for the Plan review process is as follows: <br /> May 30 First draft of Plan sent to City for distribution <br /> June 2- 12 Initial review by boards, commissions and staff <br /> June 13 Initial review comments due to HKGi <br /> June 20 Summary of plan comments distributed <br /> June 26 Plan Review Workshop #1 <br /> June 27- July 11 Plan Draft#2 prepared <br /> July 11 Plan Draft#2 distributed <br /> July 17 Plan Review Workshop #2 <br /> July 31 Plan Review Workshop#3 <br /> August 1 - 15 Plan Draft#3 prepared <br /> August 21 Public Open House on draft Plan <br /> 123 North Third Street,Suite 100,Minneapolis,MN 55401-1659 <br /> Ph(612)338-0800 Fx(612)338-6838 www.hkgi.com <br /> Direct(612)252-7133 Email rusty@hkgi.com <br />
