Dennis P. `�'e(sch <br />.-�,ugust 4, 2000 <br />PAGE 2 <br />�vith developers, architects, engineers, citizens. commissions, and the Ciry Council. In <br />doing so, he demonstrated how to be professional. credible, and understandable. Dennis <br />can take the most complex issue and determine how to best match his presentation w7th <br />his audience. Though he is a registered landscape architect and holds Master's degrees <br />from Yale and E-Iamline University, he has the most wonderful down-to-earth approach <br />when dealing with people. Dennis is truly a genius packaged in a regular guv persona. <br />Dennis completed a Highway 6 1 Corridor Study to determine how the Highway could be <br />integrated into the downtown rather being a divisive element. Dennis also worked to <br />complete a downtown preservation plan and he was instrumental in selecting the site for <br />the City's new City Hall. <br />After White Bear Lake, Dennis accepted a position as the Community Development <br />Director in Apple Valley. His successes were numerous. He delivered Apple Valley <br />their vision of a suburban downtown. He created a process of checking the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan against its Zoning Map and correcting inconsistencies. He was <br />instrumental in forming a Dakota County Economic Development initiative to bring <br />businesses to Apple Valley and the County. Like his experience in White Bear Lake, <br />Dennis won over the hearts of all who came in contact with him in Apple Valley. <br />I was fortunate to eventually wark with Dennis again. I was hired as a Planner in Apple <br />Valley and, thanks to Dennis, I obtained my Master's degree from Hamline. Dennis <br />knows the importance of continuing education and he teaches by example. I was at a <br />point in my personal and professional career where it would have been easy to get caught <br />up in day-to-day activities and not continue my education (at that time anyway). Dennis <br />made certain that I did continue. I am very happy that I did and I can thank him for that <br />victory. <br />Today, Dennis continues with his excellence in leadership. His involvement in the 35 <br />Corridor Coalition is an example of where he continues to look globally and deliver `Big <br />Picture" solutions to his community. Another planner fiend of mine now has the good <br />fortune of working with Dennis. As a result, he will undoubtedly become an excellent <br />planner, He was also encouraged by Dennis to continue his education and will complete <br />his Masters degree later this year. <br />In conclusion, I would say that Dennis is truly an inspiration. His successes have been <br />with physical improvements in all the communities where he worked, as well as in the <br />tal ts on 1' es of ose who he has led. Please consider Dennis for this most prestigious <br />of ank u. <br />ott . k <br />anning oordinator <br />City of Fridley <br />
