-�u,ust -l. �Ot�U <br />Mr. Brad Scheib <br />Awards Committee Chair <br />Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. <br />123 North Third Street, Suite 100 <br />Minneapolis, MN 5540 l <br />Dear Mr. Scheib and Award Committee Members: <br />Please accept this letter of support for the Drstinguished Leadership Award to Dennis P. <br />Welsch from the Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning Association (�1nAPA). <br />During the period 1988-93 I had the great pleasure of working with Dennis when he was the <br />Community Development Director for the City of Apple Valley. In my capacity as City Planner during <br />the period I worked with Dennis there were many memorable projects we collaborated on. Of this <br />long list, the most significant project was the coordination of the of the "Ring Route" project, as it is <br />known among City staf£ This project encompassed the creation of policy plans, engineering designs, <br />and implementation schedules which served to define the City's central commercial area as a unique <br />environment within a suburban community. Ten years after the fact, this effort continues to bear fruit <br />for the City both in terms of the ongoing commercial development activity it has fostered and in the <br />sense of community identity and recognition that it brings its inhabitants. Not content with simply <br />creating such an environment, Dennis proceeded to document the process by writing the pamphlet <br />Building a Dotivntown from Scratch so that others might benefit from the experience and build their <br />own suburban downtown. <br />I support the nomination for Dennis for this award because of his special ability to engage <br />those around him to work in the service of the future. Dennis is able to show people how to work <br />cooperatively in thinlcing about what future possibilities e�st and how they can both choose and <br />implement the one alternative that best suits their collective needs and desires. In eliciting the best <br />from those he quietly leads, Dennis has helped everyone who has worked for and with him to grow <br />professionally so that they are able to impart similar guidance when the opportunity to serve arises in <br />their own lives. <br />I believe Dennis Welsch is truly an outstanding leader, and his presence in the field of planning <br />has made a difference to the profession and to the communities and the individuals he has worked with. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF APPLE VALLEY <br />Richard B. Kelley, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />c:\temp�welsch doc <br />
