:■ LOUCKS August 4, 2017 Mr. Jeremy Barnhart Community Development Director City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 RE: Proposal to Provide Professional Planning Services Navarre Area Plan - Loucks P17422.00 Mr. Barnhart: We are excited about the opportunity to develop an Area Plan for Navarre. We understand that the plan must be a good flit for the Navarre businesses and residents that is also supported by the development market. We have assembled an experienced team with the knowledge, relationships, and focused approach to successfully prepare the Navarre Area Plan. Loucks is the project manager and will address land use and community connectivity, Maxfield Research will provide a market analysis while Spack Traffic Engineers will look at the surrounding traffic problems. The Loucks team (Loucks) provides the following advantages: • Relevant project experience, including the Freshwater Condominium project that was recently considered for the Navarre Area. • Our team approach of first establishing development parameters in order to lead a realistic planning and design process has been successful in neighboring communities. • We are consultants for both city and private clients and will bring a strong understanding of both sectors to develop a plan that will bring the best of both worlds. Two of our team members were former city planners At Loucks, we inspire clients to achieve the best use of their land and community. We are enthusiastic about what our team can bring to Navarre and Orono.
