Task 3.0 Explore possible directions We propose a charrette format to explore a series of alternatives for the redevelopment area. The charrette's most significant element is the collaborative work session conducted on-site by the HKGi team. The session allows for the interests of the entire consulting team to be shared in a process that affords balance to the redevelopment scenarios. In this sense, those alternatives will address not only the physical design and function of the redevelopment area, they will consider issues of market potential as prov;ded by the McComb Group. The HKGi team will generate to to three alternative scenarios for redevelopment to demonstrate a range of possible solutions, and to provide a means of evaluating potential directions when no clear solution is evident. Each alternative might have different implications in terms of aesthetics; the role of CR 14 as it relates to potential development; the changes in traffic patterns as a result of the CR 14 redesign; access to development for both cars and pedestrians; the demand for (or impacts on) parking; relationship to other community featureslinstitutes (such as the school); establishment or reinforcement of landmarks or other identity features; costj development potential; or the means of implementation. Sketches, diagrams, sections and photographs will be used to illustrate the intentions of each of the alternative concepts. The HKGi team will demonstrate various development types and begin to frame implementation strategies that underlie each concept alternative. Early consideration of both market potential and development feasibility will ensure the plan is credible in the marketplace and realistic in terms of the City's ability to make development occur according to the directions of the plan. The translation of alternative scenarios to more final direction occurs only after the Steering Committee has the opportunity to consider the implications of the alternatives and understand how each alternative supports other goals of the City. While the community will be asked to indicated a preference during Workshop Two, the Steering Committee will be asked to confirm the preferred scenario, or to combine the best aspects of any of the scenarios presented. The HKGi team will then begin the process of refining the preferred alternative and creating the final redevelopment plan.
