<br />Phase I: Scoping <br /> <br />The purpose of the Scoping Phase is to compile, analyze <br />and summarize key geographic data for the river corridor, <br />including data on topography, land cover, hydrology, soil <br />. types, current land use, planned future land use, <br />transportation and other infrastructure, and known open <br />space protection opportunities. . <br /> <br />A preliminarily base map will identify ecological, cultural <br />and recreational resources; park, trail and open space <br />opportunities; and existing and potential connections to <br />and along the river corridor. Combined with additional <br />data layers, including current and potential infrastructure <br />and development, a series of base maps will be prepared <br />for the workshops. <br /> <br />A Scoping Workshop will provide a general overview of <br />the current conditions and existing plans for the river <br />corridor, and engage the public in articulating a set of <br />general visions for the future of the river corridor. <br /> <br /> <br />The Oliver H. Kelley Farm in Elk River is a <br />major attraaion along the River corridor. <br /> <br />I. Facilitate Advisory Team <br />· Hold project kick-off meeting with representatives of each City to review the <br />project approach, identify known issues, identify key stakeholders, and determine <br />venue(s) for workshops. <br />· Assist in formation of a project advisory team for the process, composed of <br />representatives of the various City and County stakeholders. <br />· Assist in determining a communications strategy to present the outcomes of the <br />design process to the public. <br />· Review/discuss data and base maps. <br />· Plan agenda, schedule, and logistics for Scoping Workshop. <br />· Review results of Scoping Workshop. <br />· Finalize/refine plans for Visioning/Design Phase and identify stakeholders to <br />participate. <br /> <br />2. Assemble and Review Data <br />· Assemble base geographic data for the study area, including transportation <br />elements, cultural features, parcel and lot boundaries, built form, land cover, <br />aerial orthoimagery, oblique aerials, site-specific photos, land contours, natural <br />form, existing park and open spaces and priority protection areas. <br />· Assemble and review base planning information for the study area, including <br />local comprehensive plans, future land use plans, current zoning, Mississippi <br />River Trail plans, Mississippi River Critical Area plans, and current and future <br />park and open space plans. <br />· Consolidate key directions from plan review <br />
