CONSULTING PLANNERS LANDSCAPE ARCHiTECTS 300 F7RST AVENUE NORTH SUiTE 210 MiNNEAPOLiS, MN _5_5401 612•3393300 January 12, 2004 City of Roseville C/O Dennis Welsch, Community DevelopmentDirector 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Agreement for Planning Services Dear Dennis: On behalf of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Inc. (DSU), I would like to thank the city council, city manager and staff for the opportunity to provide the City of Roseville with planning services related to the Twin Lakes master planning process. The objective of our services wi11 be to work closely with the City, a community advisory panel and the DevelopmentTeam to review and discuss relevant background information, provide input directly to the Master Developer (Rottlund Inc.) and other members of the Development Team (Ryan Companies Inc. Roseville Properties and Welsch Companies, Inc.) and facilitate a series of workshops that wi11 influence and guide the concept plans, design standards and related elements of the planned unit development application to be completed and submitted by the Development Team. The process wi11 feature the participation of an advisory panel, consisting of the chairs of five of Roseville's commissions, neighboring business owners, residents from surrounding neighborhoods, the business community and other at-large members. The role of the panel wi11 be to provide community input at every key stage in the master planning process. The process wi11 seek, but wi11 not be dependent upon, reaching consensus on key issues related to the master p1an. Ultimately, this process sha11 inform the Development Team as they prepare and advance their plans, as we11 as the Roseville City Council and a11 of its advisory commissions and staff inembers as they perform their respective functions in the development review and approval process. Development Team members wi11 also be active participants in the planning process. Several meetings wi11 be held with them throughout the process, to ensure both that their issues and concerns are fu11y understood and considered and that the alternatives that are advanced and evaluated are rooted in market and �inancial reality. Likewise, we wi11 conduct regular meetings with City staff after each workshop to identify and follow up on key issues and record the results of the previous meeting. It is also expected that these meetings wi11 provide the opportunity to identify and consider any "mid-course" corrections that might be warranted. We have estimated time for these meetings and logic would indicate that some of them may be completed in less time and some may take more time than the standard estimate, depending on the nature of the prior meeting and the signi�icance of the problems and opportunities that arise. The following paragraphs summarize and describe the work scope and related cost estimate that we have prepared in consultation with you, your staff and the Master Developer's representative. This reflects our best current expectations about the process and the time that it wi11 take for DSU to fu1fi11 our responsibilities. We should, however, acknowledge at the outset, that even under the most optimum of O:�Promo�PROPOSAL�Roseville Twin Lakes\Contract.doc
