Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />June I 1, 1999 <br /> <br />Ramsey Planning Commission <br /> <br />Brad Scheib, Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. <br /> <br />Redevelopment Planning Workshop <br /> <br />This memorandum is intended to give you a quick overview of what we need to accomplish at our <br />workshop on June 17th. <br /> <br />Study Purpose <br /> <br />The overall purpose of the study is two-fold. First it is to identify (and prioritize) areas of the <br />community that are in need of renewal and redevelopment. Second, it is to further develop a plan and <br />course of action for redevelopment of a "first project." Having identified sites that may need <br />redevelopment it is critical that the process not end, rather it should continue to a point of action, <br />showing commitment to community betterment and community progress. <br /> <br />Study Process <br /> <br />We will complete this study through a series of workshops utilizing the knowledge and skills of the <br />local community (the planning commission and subsequent task force) to guide the work of the <br />professional consultants. The first series of workshops will focus on establishing the priorities and <br />parameters for redevelopment in general and to identify a "first step project". The second set of <br />workshops is to focus in on the "first step project" and to develop a redevelopment plan for the project <br />area. <br /> <br />Workshop One Content <br /> <br />At the workshop on June 17th we will identifying goals relating to redevelopment based on the Draft <br />Comprehensive Plan and then more specifically related to redevelopment needs. We will then go <br />through a process that will help us determine what the most important goals for redevelopment are, <br />both short and long term. The final task we will need to do is to identify potential sites for evaluation. <br />To help get started we already have some sites identified, but we would like to hear fi°om you on other <br />sites that may need to be evaluated and considered for redevelopment. The workshop will allow the PC <br />to identify other potential sites or eliminate sites we have suggested based on the prioritized goals. <br /> <br />I look forward to seeing you on Thursday. <br /> <br />G:luserslCity Shared File~PLANNINGtCasest1999106179961/lerno. doc <br /> <br /> <br />
