Policies will relate to land use, transportation, environmental resources, public <br />services and facilities, parks, housing and community image. The goal/policy statements will <br />note if the statements reflect current Comprehensive Plan policies, contain modifications of <br />current policies, or reflect new policies. <br /> <br />4.3 Conduct concept review workshops <br /> <br />HKGi will design and conduct two workshops to present and receive feedback on the alternative <br />development concepts. The first workshop shall be with the Task Force. The second workshop <br />will include Task Force, Planning Commission, and City Council. These sessions will include a <br />discussion of the concepts and patterns depicted by each alternative, their "fit" with the vision <br />elements that were identified by the community, and broad based policy implications that are <br />implied by each alternative. <br /> <br />4.4 Test the alternatives <br /> <br />One objective of the City in undertaking an update of the Comprehensive Plan is to consider the <br />"sustainability" of future development patterns. In this task, HKGi will test the implications of <br />the various alternatives. This test will include an initial evaluation of servicing capabilities and <br />traffic issues. The testing will include a general review of the financial implications (cost of <br />providing infrastructure and services) of each of the identified alternative land use concepts. The <br />examination will consider the required pattern of sanitary sewer, storm water management, water, <br />electric and transportation services necessary to support each of the land use alternatives to ensure <br />that they represent viable options. <br /> <br />4.5 Gain approval to proceed <br /> <br />HKGi will conduct a workshop meeting with the Task Force to review the outcome of this Task <br />and to gain approval to seek broader community input on each of the alternatives. <br /> <br />Deliverables- Task 4 <br /> · Written and graphic description of development concepts <br /> Statements of goals and policies <br /> Technical memorandum describing the results of the "testing" analysis <br /> · Monthly communications update sheet <br /> <br />5 Define How Elk River Will Look and Function <br /> <br />The purpose of this task will be to determine which of the development alternatives or blend of <br />the development alternatives best fits the City of Elk River and the vision that has been <br />articulated by the community's residents. <br /> <br />5.1 Create evaluation criteria <br /> <br />HKGi will prepare a method of evaluation to facilitate the selection of appropriate options and <br />policy directions. <br /> <br />© Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc.
