SCOPE OF WORK
The following scope of work is to be used as a guide by responding land planning firms.

s - MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Samuels Vice Mayor O'Brien Commissioner George Commissioner Snodgrass Commissioner England
FROM: Max Boyle, City Manage.. DATE: November 20, 2015
SUBJECT: Proposals from Planning Consultants Because of the number of responses ( seven) and the volume of paper, we've put the proposals in a separate binder for each of you. Discussion of the proposals will be on the agenda for your December 7th meeting.
PROPOSALS As noted above, seven proposals were received. They are: 1. Andersen Shell Consulting, Gulf Breeze, Florida, which is located on the Gulf of Mexico coast south of Pensacola 2. JC Consulting Enterprises (Cecelia Ward), Tequesta, Florida, which is located in Palm Beach County near the city of Jupiter 3. LaRue Planning and Management Services, Fort Myers, Florida 4. Northeast Florida Regional Council, Jacksonville
5. Terry A Clark, Gainesville
6. Strategic Planning Group, Ponte Vedra Beach
7. TMH Consulting, Ormond Beach
PLANNING BOARD' S REVIEW The Planning Board reviewed and discussed the proposals at its November 17th meeting, and ranked the top three firms as follows:
First: Cecelia Ward (JC Consulting Enterprises)
A Second: Northeast Florida Regional Council
Third: Kristen Shell ( Andersen Shell Consulting) a/' The Board also made a number of other recommendations. These are listed in a memo page 1) from the Board' s secretary, Ms. Bonnie Miller. Please note in particular the memo's third and fourth paragraphs. Paragraph three has questions that the Board suggests you ask the planning consultants. Paragraph four is a recommendation that you consider hiring a full-time land use planner. This would be in place of hiring a planning consultant. We've also attached the ad ( page 2) that was prepared for planning consultant services. The Planning Board believes the ad didn't provide the correct question. However, please note two facts: First, that the basic purpose was stated: the City wants a consultant "to determine where revisions, additions and/or deletions may be appropriate to ensure completeness and consistency" of the City' s comp Plan, Vision Plan and Land Development Regulations. Second, that the City was advertising a Request for Qualifications, not a Request for Proposals. Under the RFQ, the City asked for the consultants' qualifications and background. A Request for Proposals would have asked for each respondent to provide a detailed outline of the work they would do the City. However, as no scope of work has yet been determined, e.g., how many meetings the City wants the consultant to hold, with what groups and covering what specific topics, it wasn't possible to prepare a Request for Proposals. V PLEASE NOTE: The head of one of the responding firms, LaRue Planning and Management Services of Fort Myers, complained in an email that the Planning Board didn't receive the firm's proposal until late, and that the proposal wasn't posted on the City's website for the Board' s November 17Th meeting. Concerning the last complaint, Ms. Miller, the Board's secretary, says that LaRue's proposal was on the website before the meeting. Also, the firm's proposal was sent by email to the Planning Board members five days before the Board' s meeting. Some of the Board members had the Building Department before the meeting provide a paper copy of LaRue' s proposal.
ACTIONS REQUESTED
There are three:
1. That you review the proposals and decide whether to accept the Planning Board' s recommended three firms, or whether to add other firms to the list.
criteria:For your review of each firm's qualifications, you may want to use the following
Firm' s capabilities B w Adequacy of personnel Past record Experience Which firm or firms seem best qualified on the basis of the information provided to do the project, which is to review the City's Comp Plan, Vision Plan and Land Development Regulations, "to determine where revisions, additions and/ or deletions may be appropriate to ensure completeness and consistency" (from the ad for RFQs).
2. That you determine a scope of work: what, exactly, do you want the consultant to do. We suggest also that you set a deadline for the consultant's final report, say six or eight months from the date the consultant is hired.
The consultant will base their proposed fee on the scope of work. For example, the more meetings you want the consultant to hold, the higher the fee. If the consultant is located a distance away, then the fee will be higher because of travel costs.
3. That you provide a list of questions to ask each firm during the interview. For example, one question could be the firm' s understanding from the Request for Qualifications notice of what the City is seeking. You can individually send your proposed scope of work and questions to the City Manager, who will assemble the information in a report, which will be provided to you for tow your January 4'h meeting. At that meeting, you can make a final determination of the scope of work and the questions you want to ask each firm, and schedule as well a special meeting later in January to interview the firms you' ve selected. We suggest that the Planning Board interview the firms with you.
The City Manager will send your scope of work and questions to the firms you want to interview, so that each will be prepared to answer the questions and provide the cost for their services based on the scope of work.
At your special meeting, you can select the firm you want to hire. The City Attorney will then draft a contract. At your February 1st meeting, money can be appropriated to pay the consultant and you can approve the contract. The consultant will then begin the review of the City's Comp Plan, etc. in February.
C MEMO
To: Max Boyle, City Manager From: Bonnie Miller, Administrative Assistant II Subject: Review of responses to requests for qualifications for land planning services and recommendation for the City to contemplate hiring a full-time land use planner Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Please be advised that at its regular monthly meeting held Tuesday, November 17, 2015, the City of St. Augustine Beach Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board reviewed and discussed the responses received to the City' s request for qualifications for land planning services to review and recommend amendments/ revisions to the City' s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations, and Vision Plan.
Based on the Board' s review and discussion, Ms. Sloan made the following motion, which was seconded by Mr. Bradfield, as a recommendation to the City Commission: 1) The Board does not feel the correct question was sent out in the request for proposals/qualifications for land planning services; 2) However, based on the question that recommends was sent, the Board Cecelia Ward, tali RFQ# 3, be ranked first; Brian Teeple, RFQ# 6, be ranked second; and Kristen A. Shell, RFQ# 5, be ranked third; 3) The Board does not feel any of the other four responses to requests for qualifications that were received by the City could be recommended by the Board, based on the fact that they did not, specifically, address the question as sent out in the request for qualifications, and that there are some concerns expressed about conflicts of interest and other problems with these four other applicants.
Ms. West proposed the following amendment to Ms. Sloan' s motion: In addition to the motion made by Ms. Sloan, several questions should be posed to the planner applicants, including how they would evaluate Ordinance No. 13- 14, and how they would handle the height interpretation conflicts, impervious surface coverage issues, and setbacks controversy currently being faced by the City. Ms. Sloan agreed to Ms. West' s amendment to her motion. The motion as amended was seconded by Mr. Bradfield, and passed 6- 1 by roll-call vote, with Ms. Odom, Ms. Sloan, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Mitherz, Ms. West, and Mr. Bradfield assenting, and Ms. Zander dissenting.
In addition, Ms. West made a separate motion to recommend the City Commission contemplate the hiring of a full-time land use planner, if finances allow. Ms. West' s motion was seconded by Ms. Sloan, and passed 6- 1 by voice-vote, with Ms. Zander opposed.

Dear Mr. Boyle,
Andersen Shell Consulting, LLC in conjunction with Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood is pleased to respond to the Ciry's request for qualifications for planning services. Please find the enclosed resumes of key personnel submitted for your
consideration.
I have worked as a city planner in Florida for approximately 15 years, including working in the coastal community of Navarre Beach, Florida, a barrier island beach community located in between the City of Pensacola and the City of Fort Walton Beach Florida. I had the pleasure of preparing a master plan for this community and then implementing this plan through the Santa Rosa County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code. In addition, I also worked for the Bay County Florida Planning Department which includes a portion of Panama City Beach and the coastal city of Panama City, Florida where I completed a master plan for a cultural heritage tourism district. Beyond this coastal experience, I spent five years working for the City of Tallahassee Leon County Planning Department which was designated as one of the best planning departments in the Country by the American Planning Association. There I gained extensive experience in planning related visioning and subsequent implementation. I currently work part time as a Senior Urban Planner with Santa Rosa County and part time for myself doing local government consulting in the region as projects
arise.
I am excited to have a business relationship with one of the region' s best firms, Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood. I think you will find this company to have some outstanding credentials and having such a great company behind me allows me to pool from a tremendous amount of resources and talent.

We believe this has several advantages and benefits including t. maintaining momentum and interest in the plan; 2. engaginu the public in a way that doesn' t take excessive amounts of their time, or the City officials; 3. containing the costs; and 4. delivering the plan product in a timely manner. GMC is able to commit to this kind of schedule because of the experience, depth of the planning team, and the availability of support resources to keep the project on schedule.
Cost and Budgets With respect to cost. GMC is able to base its cost estimates on dozens of planning projects over the years, their costs and issues that impacted cost. We have been able to provide high quality planning work at very competitive costs and fees—a check of our references and examples of experience will substantiate this. In addition, all of our planning work is done on a lump sum and expense contract, paid in monthly increments based on satisfactory progress reports. As such, the plan is done on a fixed fee basis, subject to change only upon the mutual agreement of the client and GMC, in advance. A review of GMC' s record and reference with clients relative to costs and schedules will indicate a pattern of reasonable fees and expenses. staying with the budget, and no additional costs during a project unless it was client-add- ed extra services that was based on mutual agreement in advance.

The Alexander City Community Plan creates a long- term vision and goals For the future development of Alexander City, a community that has recently undergone major upheavals such as the exodus of Russell manufacturing jobs. The plan tackles the redevelopment of the massive property formerly occupied by Russell and provides a more specific plan for Alexander City's historic downtown. envisioning the heart of the community as a vibrant, mixed-use center.
The plan incorporates various other plans and strategies already undertaken by the City and other groups and utilizes input from citizens gathered at workshops and a community visioning session. The plan outlines goals and recommendations for future land use, streets and transportation, economic development, housing and neighborhoods, community facilities, natural resources, historic preservation, and the former Russell property.
As a result of the plan' s recommendations, the City then proposed an update to its zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations, to ensure that the City's ordinances align with the vision and goals in the plan. The update to these ordinances brings them into agreement with the community's vision by ensuring that special areas, such as the former Russell property, community gateways, and downtown, have the proper regulations in place for their future development. The updates also simplify the City' s processes for permitting and review.

GMC worked with the City of Anniston to create a hybrid zoning ordinance that incorporates elements OWNER: Anniston City of both form-based codes and traditional Euclidean codes. Through a series of public engagement Toby Bennington and Planning Commission, the planning team created a map of character areas, classifying areas of 7S ' 31 7724 the City based not on the uses therein, but on the form and character of the built environment. These character areas were used to determine the desired future character of these places, and then to determine how the regulations should be crafted to achieve that character. The resulting ordinance provides form-based regulations for the more sensitive areas of the City, such as downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, and more flexible, use-based regulations for other areas such as industrial and large-format commercial areas.

GMC developed the Guntersville Waterfront and Harbor Master Plan with provisions for recreation- al water access, an event and festival plaza and future economic development along the waterfront for specialized recreational retail and lodging.
An expanded facility for docking smaller boats and a mooring for larger boats for ferrying tourists along the Tennessee River were integrated, adding several access points to the water. The large event and festival plaza faces both the harbor and the existing grid of downtown and is ideally placed along the Riverwalk.
Concepts, renderings and composite vignettes images were part of the final plan to guide further development and additional planning in the future.

Commencing in the late 1970s, Ms. Ward worked on the Town of Davie Comprehensive Plan, one of the first Comprehensive Plans ever developed in the State of Florida. She continued to develop her professional planning and zoning skills through the 1980s while working for Coral Ridge Properties, a then Fortune 500 land development company. She worked in concert with the City of Parkland as Vice President of Government Planning to create public-private land use and zoning regulations for major corporate land holdings throughout Parkland. After more than nine years with Coral Ridge Properties, Ms. Ward was retained by the City of Fort Lauderdale, for the express purpose of updating and bringing into compliance the City' s Comprehensive Plan, which had not been updated for more than 10 years. Ms. Ward was also tasked with updating Fort Lauderdale' s entire zoning code, which was also more than 40 years old and internally inconsistent with the Vision Plan established for various redevelopment areas, including Fort Lauderdale Beach and Downtown/ Community Redevelopment Areas of the City. Meeting a 2- year deadline; Ms. Ward successful managed bringing both the City' s Comprehensive Plan into compliance and updating the its entire Land Development Regulations process to ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. As a result, Ms. Ward was promoted to Director of Construction Services, which included supervising all activities and functions of the City of Fort Lauderdale Planning, Zoning, and Building Departments with responsibility of interpreting and implementing the City' s Comprehensive Plan and Unified Land Development Regulations. During this time, Ms. Ward also oversaw creation of a Downtown Master Plan ensuring that such plan provided for new urbanism and smart growth standards. Because of her leadership in this regard, Downtown Fort Lauderdale subsequently developed into a vibrant and pedestrian friendly community for which Ms. Ward received the Fort Lauderdale' s Finest Award from a local, community grass-roots organization. She was also honored by the City' s Downtown Development Authority, a not-for-profit authority that recognized her outstanding contributions to the renaissance of downtown Fort Lauderdale. In 2006, she was subsequently awarded the City' s " Exemplary Former Employee Award" recognizing the positive impact she had on land use and zoning changes that were implemented under her direction and leadership. Ms. Ward also utilized her planning and zoning expertise in the Slate of New York where she provided planning and zoning services for the City of New York, the Town of North Hempstead, and the City of Ogdensburg, including the preparation of various zoning regulations and vision plans for those entities. As Planning Commissioner, she managed the development of a Vision Plan for Port Washington, a large multi-neighborhood waterfront community in North Hempstead. This project led to the adoption of a Vision Plan for the Port Washington area and implementation of land development regulations intended to guide development to commercial parcels in need of revitalization. In 2006, Ms. Ward established SC Consulting Enterprises, Inc. Since then, she' s represented a large number of both private developers and local governmental agencies on numerous land use, zoning and land development projects and issues. One of her more significant long term projects was the management of the planning of an eco- oriented community envisioned for a 3, 000 acre privately owned site, located in the State of Maine. She has also led a team of professionals in preparing vision plans for a 1, 900- acre golf course community located in upstate New York and a Windmill project in Gulliver' s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. In 2009, her firm was retained by the City of Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency CRA). Ms. Ward represented the Pompano Beach CRA on all planning and zoning related matters, including but not limited to evaluating Pompano Beach and Broward County land use plans and Pompano Beach zoning regulations for the express purpose of identifying land use and zoning provisions necessary to implement the City' s East and West Community Redevelopment Plans. This effort led to a rewrite of the City's Atlantic Boulevard Overlay regulations for the East CRA, and a Transit Oriented Corridor land use designation for a 269- acre area located in Downtown Pompano Beach CRA area. Since 2010, Ms. Ward's firm has served the Town of Lauderdale- By-The-Sea by providing comprehensive, professional guidance on all planning and zoning related matters. A recent project included evaluation of the Town's 2011 Comprehensive Plan and Supporting Documentation, and Land Development Regulations to make professional recommendations and guidance on implementation measures necessary to update the Town's LDRs for consistency and compatibility with its Comprehensive Plan goats, objectives and policies. Ms. Ward is recognized as a planning and zoning expert and testifies regularly in numerous public hearings, and legal matters concerning comprehensive planning, land development regulation, community area planning, and zoning code matters.

LaRue, AICP President Florid Lw-.,l 4u, v, nimn45;n[ v VWV Serving 2 QUALIFICATIONS From our office in the Fort Myers River District, LaRue Planning has provided consulting services for over 60 municipalities and 22 counties throughout the state of Florida. Planning consultants are a vital part of the local government planning process, functioning as contract planners and acting as representatives of each local government they serve. Consultants provide as- needed technical expertise and can specifically focus on priority planning objectives when in- house planners do not have adequate time to take on such projects. To be effective, planning consultants must have a variety of skills, with an ability to listen and communicate clearly with the staff and public when presenting planning issues and solutions. Additionally, a successful planning consultant must project absolute objectivity in any assignment that is undertaken, while invoking ample public participation and consensus. LaRue Planning thoroughly understands the role of being a planning consultant or a contract planner to the City of St. Augustine Beach. Our firm' s team members are adept in supplementing staff skills, while presenting fresh and new approaches to solving various planning challenges. We are proficient in master planning concepts and experienced in providing site plan review and writing meaningful land development regulations. We routinely prepare comprehensive plan amendments and major updates. We have performed special studies, and analyzed annexation impacts. Our longevity in serving local government clients similar to St Augustine Beach demonstrates our commitment and professional expertise to see a planning project through from commencement to completion. Whether updating a community plan or designing a form- based code for a community redevelopment area, our firm can• be counted on to finish a project even when unexpected challenges emerge. Developing a scope of services, time schedule, and delivering a set of tasks within budget are equally important and we live up to those expectations with each planning project that we complete. At the outset of each project or task, we will conduct an organizational session with the City. This allows the project team to formulate a clear understanding of the project goals and objectives. Following this session, a set of detailed strategies will be outlined to accomplish the agreed upon goals, prepare an effective work plan, and outline all work elements, including scope, schedule, and budget. This plan allows us to address responsibilities, authority, communication, document control, invoicing, progress reporting, quality control, and other major work elements. Reran Florida In[ ll eocurvoeme e; nce t9tltl 3 We work well with stakeholders and we know that change can be resented or more likely, misunderstood by the stakeholders.

Current AICP Certification Planner Role AICP Certification Number Lindsay Haga Project Manager 159389 Margo Moehring Project Director 018123 Brian Teeple Project Advisor 052841 Beth Payne Project Planner 021475 Eric Anderson Project Planner 199419 b. Licensed to conduct business in Florida as a planner. As a governmental agency the Council is not required to have an occupational license or any other license to conduct business in Florida; moreover, since planning is not a regulated profession in Florida there are no licensing requirements for the practice of planning. c. Experience with providing planning services to small, coastal Florida communities. Beverly Beach Ms. Haga, through the Council, works for the Town of Beverly Beach as their town planner. In this role, she provides technical review of proposed amendments by private property owners as well as preparing land use and zoning map amendments on behalf of the Town. Most recently, Ms. Haga helped the town evaluate a proposed amendment from residential to commercial along the ICW in an area surrounded by established residential. The project involved several community workshops, education about the Town' s regulations for uses and site design standards. The key element in that case dealt with the conversion of residential uses to nonresidential uses in the Coastal High Hazard Area— a specific policy the Town adopted in their comprehensive plan. Most recently, Ms. Haga created a land use and zoning amendment package for land annexed into the Town. St. Johns County Ms. Haga joined the St. Johns County Growth Management Department in 2004 as a planner and rejoined the NEFRC in 2013 after serving as the Development Review Director for five years. Her primary tasks for each position during her career with the County( planner II, III, DRI Coordinator, Chief Planner, Director) include a thread of interpreting and development regulations: the comprehensive plan, land development code, and development review manual for technical compliance. This lead to a role of regularly auditing and presenting recommended changes to the community, planning and zoning agency, and Board of County Commissioners. In the role of planner, she served as lead on the' Administrative Rezoning' project—a project to systematically change zone districts within four quadrants of the county including community outreach, workshops, recommending retaining or changing the zoning districts for the individual property owners. In the role of Chief Planner while transitioning to Development Review Director, the responsibilities included addressing suggested changes from the five( 5) Architectural Overlay Districts along the barrier island of the County. The appointed boards issued architectural review certificates for commercial and multifamily development in their respective districts. During implementation of the architectural regulations, land development code( LDC) amendments were created to balance economic development with community character. This was achieved through workshops with the architectural review committees, creating color palettes and graphic examples of preferred styles unique to the districts to be adapted within the LDC. Within the mainland areas of St. Johns County, Ms. Fiaga lead a variety of comprehensive plan and land development code changes to address signage, land uses, new zoning districts, temporary use and design standards for roadways, screening/ buffers, and construction permits. Fernandina Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Palm Coast Through the leadership of Margo Moehring the Council conducted Community Resiliency Assessments for the above coastal municipalities. The Council, using those communities' self- identified community assets, determined which of those assets might be compromised by sea level rise using three inundation scenarios. The assessments also covered what mitigation approaches were already in use by communities, the existing social systems, what stakeholder groups were represented, and background on community experience with sea level rise and insurance. As a result of these assessments communities are beginning to take long-term resiliency into consideration in their decision making processes. In addition to these coastal communities assessments were also conducted for Nassau and St. Johns Counties and the municipalities of Green Cove Springs, Palatka and the City of Jacksonville. City of St. Augustine The Council, between 2008 and 2011, under the direction of Brian Teeple undertook the Evaluation and Appraisal Report and Comprehensive Plan amendment process for the City of St. Augustine. And following that experience lead the effort with the City to become one of the first local governments in the state to abandon transportation concurrency. d. A minimum of three Florida coastal cities for which planning services have been provided. As can he seen in our answers to c. above, the Council, within the past couple of years have provided planning services to the following coastal cities: Beverly Beach, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Palm Coast. Looking further back, in addition to the above the Council through staff currently with the Counci I provided services to the following additional coastal cities: Marineland and Flagler Beach. a Other experience serving local governments. In addition to the local governments outlined above the Council has or is currently providing professional planning services to the following local governments: Nassau County, Town of Hilliard, Town of Glen St. Mary, Baker County, Clay County, City of Green Cove Springs, Putnam County, City of Palatka, Town of Welaka, Town of Pomona Park, Town of Interlachen. f. The Team: This effort will be led by the Project Manager, Lindsay Haga, who has 17 years of professional planning experience. Lindsay is the Council's lead staff person in providing technical assistance to our local governments. As can be seen from her resume Lindsay has a wide and in- depth experience in all facets of planning for local governments. Her particular areas of expertise are in comprehensive planning and code development. Margo Moehring will be the Project Director and will advise and assist Ms. Haga in the successful completion of this project. Ms. Moehring brings 33 years of unique experience as well as international training to this project. Ms. Moehring is a very talented facilitator and consensus builder. Brian Teeple will serve as Project Advisor bringing to the table 40 years of professional planning experience. Mr. Teeple' s role will be one of overall direction setting and trouble shooting. Beth Payne brings nine years of experience to the table and is an expert in all hazards planning and hurricane evacuation. Eric Anderson has seven years of experience and in addition to his expertise in emergency has preparedness a background in affordable housing and environmental planning.

The site needed to accommodate 200+ people and multiple uses. Actions taken to develop this plan include due diligence associated to soils, floodplain, historical use endangered species, county codes, and personal interviews. As a result of my hard work the land use plan received 1" prize from the client and from classroom peers. In summation, I created a land use and site plan for Camp Shalom Ministries.

Seven Graduate Students formed a team and analyzed other successful waterfront redevelopment projects, identified potential uses, conducted due diligence associated with the site, identified grant opportunities, and developed relationships with other organizations willing to help. As a result, our team created the Marmaton River Revitalization Project This project specifically addressed the environmental impacts and mitigation of a grade control structure, permitting implications from Federal and State Agencies, sustainable trail development, and identifying grant opportunities. This report provided a step- by-step road map for attaining their dream of a multi-use waterfront Additionally, I was responsible for giving the speech to 50 community stakeholders about our group findings and recommendations. 1/ 2008— 6/ 2008 Concerned Citizens of Overland Park Overland Park, KS Service Learning Project in Graduate Planning Program Citizens were concerned that growth in retail space was outpacing growth in retail spending. This would result in too much unoccupied retail space and a worsening of economic conditions. Conducted a Market Retail Assessment. Elements analyzed were trends in growth of retail demand, trends in terms of retail supply, and the breakdown of trends by district within Overland Park, Kansas. After the conclusion of the Market Retail Assessment it was detemained that the growth of retail space is at a sustainable level and could therefore make a recommendation that the City did not need to establish a Tax Increment Finance TIF) District.

Max From: terryandrewclark@gmail. mm [ mailto:terryandrewclark@gmail. com] On Behalf Of Terry Clark Sent: Monday, October 12, 2015 3: 53 PM To: Max Royle Subject: CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR PLANNING SERVICES Mr. Royle, I am responding to the RFP notice from St. Augustine Beach for planning services. Quite often it make sense for a community to bring in an independent facilitator to assist the community and prime consultant in designing, managing and facilitating the stakeholder engagement process. Often this task is included with the primary planning consultant, however, there are times when the best way to engage stakeholder is by using a neutral professional faciltator. A neutral facilitator can increase trust and input to help build more sustainable and effective plans and related documents. I have attached my resume highlighting planning-related facilitation work I have conducted throughout Florida including northeast Florida. I have broad planning and facilitation experience including working closely between the client and other project consultants in designing, managing and faclitating stakeholder engagement processes for complex planning projects. If you find that St. Augustine Beach might benefit from using an independent, neutral facilitator to assist with the City's planning projects I would be very interested in speaking or meeting with you.

In addition to the main campus, DSC has five , DAyiroNA satellite campuses. Advanced Technology Center, DeLand, `. A, '' : STATE COLLEGE Flagler/ Palm Coast, New Smyrna Beach and Deltona. ZCA has provided civil engineering services for the main campus as well as all of the branch campuses with the exception of New Smyrna Beach campus. ZCA was fortunate enough to be the Civil Engineer for the updated Master Plan project. The primary focus of the updated Master Plan was for the Daytona Campus. However, there was some limited Master Plan work provided for the satellite campuses as well. DSC consists of a 100 acre campus and currently has approximately 15, 000 students. The campus has experienced rapid growth over the last 10 years and anticipates a growth in the student population in the future. ZCA was responsible for the master stormwater, utility, parking and traffic plan. The Master Plan was designed to accomplish a 20 year build-out of the campus. In addition to planning infrastructure for the future campus build-out, ZCA developed a Civil 3D model of the campus' existing stormwater and utilities systems. This 3D model provided DSC a living 3-dimensional model of the underground stormwater and utility system. This 3D model will be extremely useful for infrastructure maintenance and future planning and design on the campus. The Civil 3D model was incorporated into the project Architect' s Building Information Model of the overall campus buildings. r R I' --,' 4' 4 '' < Z 4,.. --1:...... : 4 ', or.

Additionally, there is a need to identify if there are changes need to the individual elements. Is there something wrong with the Vision Plan? If so, then there will be problems in the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code. If the Vision Plan is fine, then are there weak or broken linkages between the Vision Plan and Comprehensive Plan? If not, is the Land Development Code missing the mark? The following summarizes the tasks that are needed to identify the breakdown and to make recommendations on the next steps to ensuring the connectivity and coordination between the elements is working. Task 1 Data Collection and Review: TMH and ZCA shall review the Visions Plan, Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code to identify any potential lack of coordination or consistency between the documents. Focus shall be on the linkage between the three key elements and determination if there are items that are working against each other. Task 2. Stakeholders Interviews/ Public Outreach: TMH and ZCA shall interview stakeholders including the elected officials and advisory boards, citizen groups and other members of the public who are involved and working with the different plans and regulations. The purpose is to gain insight from those who are dealing with land development and community vision on a regular basis. These comments will help TMH and ZCA focus on the main issues. The second phase of this task in open discussion with the public. A public outreach session shall be held to provide the public to hear the comments and recommendations from the stakeholders and the consultants. This will provide a method of ensuring that the review process in tune with the concerns of the residents and business owners of Saint Augustine Beach. Task 3. Development of Draft Recommended Changes and Actions from Stakeholder Interviews/ Public Outreach: TMH and ZCA will begin drafting the report that summarizes the critical issues that were raised through the public outreach and stakeholder meetings. The document that will be a result of this task will provide how the comments impact the three main documents and what potential impacts that may have with the linkage between the elements. The report will also include a summary of recommended actions. TMH CONSULTING, INC. Community Planning Services Project Approach- continued Task 4. Preliminary Recommendations Report Feedback/Presentation: TMH and ZCA shall provide the draft report to the stakeholders for their review and comment. The critical point of this particular task is to create feedback from the group of people who were involved in the initial outreach so that they can identify if the concern or comment was properly framed and if the recommended action is consistent with their desired outcome. This will take place first with the stakeholders, and then be open to public so that the process is thorough and inclusive. Task 5. Revision and Finalize Recommendations Report: the final product will be delivered to the City Commission for final action. It is important that the City's Staff is able to review the document to ensure that all of the tasks have been accomplished in a satisfactory manner and the recommendations are consistent with the direction provided through the public outreach/ stakeholder meetings. TMH and ZCA will be available to present and discuss the final report at the City Commission' s direction. Deliverable - A report that provides sufficient terms and graphics to reflect the potential changes to the City's vision Plan, Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, based on the recommendations of residents, business owners and other stakeholders. The document will include recommended next steps and additional issues that may need to be additionally explored and refined. Summary TMN CONSULTING, INC.

Firms are encouraged to expand on it by providing more details as to how they will conduct the review that the City is requesting. One topic included in the scope of work is of intense interest to the citizens, Planning Board and City Commission. It is a review of the City' s current regulations in its Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan that concern the City's 35-foot building 1 height limit, and question of the starting point from which the building height is to be measured. Other topics of interest are the following: Zoning designations and the overlay district regulations Permitted uses under each zoning designation How impervious surface is calculated Building setbacks, especially in the overlay district Landscaping and buffering requirements Tree protection regulations Parking requirements, especially for hotels and restaurants Sign regulations Planning firms are not to regard the above list as all inclusive. Firms must prepared to review other topics in the Land Development Regulations and Comprehensive Plan as directed by the City Commission. The Scope of Work is divided into the following phases: PHASE ONE a. Close review by the firm of City's Comprehensive Plan, Vision Plan and Land Development Regulations, noting areas of inconsistency and/ or areas that need clarification, and preparation of a report with detailed suggestions for areas that need to be amended or changed because of consistencies, lack of clarification, and/or to meet generally accepted land use planning best practices. b. Provide to the City Manager 20 copies of the report with detailed suggestions for changes within two months from date of notice to proceed from the City to begin the review. c. Attend public meeting with the City Commission, the Planning Board and interested citizens to review and discuss the report, and receive guidance from the City Commission for Phase Two of the project. PHASE TWO a. From what is learned at the public meeting, prepare a second report incorporating the comments made at the meeting by the City Commissioners, the Planning Board and members of the public. b. Provide 20 copies of this report to the City Manager within one month of the public meeting. 2 c. Attend public meeting with the City Commission, the Planning Board and interested citizens to review and discuss the revised draft of the report. PHASE THREE Prepare the final report with the changes requested by the City Commission within one month of the second public meeting, provide 20 copies to the City Manager, and attend meeting with the City Commission, the Planning Board and members to present and discuss the final report. PHASE FOUR (Optional) a. Assist City staff with the drafting of changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, to incorporate the changes approved by the City Commission. b. Assist City staff with insuring that adoption of any changes to the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Regulation comply with current State law and regulations. PRESENTATION TO COMMISSION At the January 16th Commission meeting, each of the five firms is to make a presentation based on the above, non- inclusive scope of work. Firms are invited to elaborate on the scope, and to make changes to it. For example, a firm may believe that more than three meetings are needed. The firm in its presentation can present its schedule of meetings, the reason for them and the persons or agencies it believes should attend them. Firms are advised that the City wants the final report to be prepared and reviewed by the City Commission and Planning Board within six months from the date the firm selected begins the project. FEE CHARGES As the full scope of work may not be known until each firm has been interviewed by the City Commission and questions have been answered, the City Manager has suggested to the Commission that at its January 16th meeting, it select the top three firms, and ask each firm by Friday, January 22, 2016 to submit the fee or fees it will charge the City for the project. The Commission will then review the fees at its February 1st meeting, and select the firm to be hired. In advance of that meeting, the City Attorney will prepare an agreement to be signed by the firm selected and the City. CONCLUSION Firms with questions may call the City Manager, Max Royle, at 904/ 471- 2122, or email him at mroyleAcityofsab.orq. 3 N 41I u 9 A z, j) 3 fy) P n U 1 r d d n Ai 3--- c n- • r. v P ci -), a F---- 4 f t I III)fl il ' 1 1 Ict --.1 i 4 ik) E 7) H t, 5 v J ri CC) 1 f t R C' t4. ct.
