A well thought out solution to <br />building entrance and parking lot <br />edge. <br />Identification or direction from <br />the Dakota Trail to Navarre (just <br />a couple blocks away) does not <br />exist at Blaine Avenue or other trail <br />locations. <br />Older generation storefronts do <br />not provide a sense of enclosure at <br />the street and include a number of <br />vacancies. <br />I, PERFORMANCE <br />DRIVEN DESIGN. <br />Project Approach <br />Consultant Responsibility: provide design team on-site for duration of the on-site <br />design workshop <br />City Responsibility: provide work space for the design team and pin-up space <br />for reviews with the Task Force; make staff resources <br />available to the design team during the design workshop <br />(it's not necessary to be present during the entire design <br />workshop, but staff is welcome to fully participate if <br />desired); provide notice and space for Town Meeting <br />Two <br />Timeline: this work would occur during a two-day on-site work <br />session; timing is critical so that the Task Force can be <br />directly involved at key points <br />Deliverables: graphics (illustrations, diagrams, sketches) resulting from <br />the design workshop; summary of input from Town <br />Meeting Two <br />Task Five Agree on the vision <br />To conclude the portion of the planning process related to defining a vision for <br />Navarre and outlining key initiatives, LHB will prepare a summary report (essentially <br />the first part of the eventual Navarre Area Plan document). It will demonstrate the <br />primary concepts for revitalization, focusing on vehicle and pedestrian movement, <br />land use, parking, new development potential, architectural character, streetscaping, <br />and wayfinding. LHB will work with the Task Force to present the findings of the first <br />two stages of the planning process to City decision-making bodies. <br />Consultant Responsibility: participation in a meeting with Orono City Council and <br />other decision-making bodies, in support of the Task <br />Force <br />City Responsibility: copying and distribution of the summary report (draft) <br />Timeline: the summary report will be prepared and delivered to the <br />city within one month of the conclusion of the design <br />workshop <br />Deliverables: summary report for downtown visioning process (draft) <br />Third Stage: Act <br />Task Six Develop projects and general guidelines <br />Based on the vision developed during the first two stages, the LHB team will explore the <br />specific recommendations and projects required to support the vision. These elements <br />will have already been considered during visioning, but will now be considered in more <br />detail, focusing on implementation and maintenance implications. We understand <br />that this plan should not just be a document sitting on a shelf—it must be a living <br />document that informs a wide range of other decisions and policies. Our hands-on <br />experience working with municipalities, as well as private developers and contractors, <br />will help us give a real-world perspective to the plan. <br />While the design workshop will lay out the basic patterns of Navarre, the finer grain <br />design will occur during this task. What is important is that it becomes a process of <br />City of Orono - Land Use Planning Services for the Navarre Area Plan 14 <br />
