• • Work Frogram 1.0 Orient key players to the process... Muy 9, 1995 Prior to beginning any work on the project, HKGi will meet with the Riverfront Committee to fully understand the process that has brought them to this point; to begin to identify the range of issues to be resolved; to receive initial input on the relationship between this project and other efforts underway or planned; and to review the work program, schedule, responsibilities and products. The meeting will be very informal, and will provide the opportunity to begin this project with a clear understanding of the Committee's expectations. Prior to this Orientation Meeting with the Riverfront Committee, HKGi wil] assemble base map information (provided by the City). A draft of this base map will be ready for use, if necessary, at the Orientation Meeting. 1.1 Prepare project base map from information provided by the City 1.2 Conduct an Orientation Meeting with the Riverfront Committee 1.3 Summarize and distribute a record of issues and directions discussed at the Orientation Meeting Products: • preliminary base map • summary of Orientation Meeting 2.0 Identify what exists... The first work task involves getting to know the site and all of the influences on it. Our study of the site will also include an evaluation of factors beyond the limits of the actual site, in order to provide the basis for understanding how the Riverfront can become an integral part of the community. The results of this task will be recorded in drawings, diagrams, photographs and other means which allow for :critical aspects of the existing site to be communicated to all participants in the process. HKGi will also begin to identify the authorities that might have jurisdiction over the Riverfront improvements, and to understand the processes and regulations those authorities might impose. Features of the site that were not clearly evident from the original base information will be added to the base map as a part of this task. We can proceed with subsequent tasks without a base map that is precise, but we must have one which is current and shows with .some certainty the site conditions and the locations of improvements within the project area. We may decide that field verification of information provided by the City would be prudent if there appear to be discrepancies or if site conditions have changed.. 2.1 Tour the site and surrounding area with representatives of the Riverfront. Committee to understand the existing conditions of the site 2.2 Investigate natural and man-made forces and significant influences, including: • natural forces -- slopes, soils, vegetation, river conditions (flooding, bank erosion) • man.-made forces -- traffic patterns, utilities, existing buildings • influences -- views, historic character, relationship to downtownltrails/parks/other community elements, general safety conditions • Mississippi Riverfront Pathway/Elk River Work Program -Page 1
