Under separate cover we are sending ten copies of our proposal for the Council's use. As an all -Alaska firm, we feel a strong commitment to making Alaskan community life all that it can be. The prospect of helping the City of Kenai preserve its valuable past and enrich its future is very exciting to us. In formulating an effective plan, the members of the community are the planner's greatest resource. Any competent planner can suggest to a city alternative courses of development which would be better than uncontrolled and haphazard growth; but a truly excellent plan would be one based on the needs and vision of the people of Kenai, a plan which would enhance the special character of your city and its natural surroundings. This is a challenge we would enjoy. We look forward to meeting with you on January loth. Sincerely, . LIVINGSTON SLONE, INC. 1 14W., Tl)olriad: E. Slone, P.E. DES:mjr-13/6 fj Thomas W. Livingston.

We are particularly well suited for this project because we offer a unique combination of two elements essential to any complex planning process: a depth of planning experience and a commitment to serving community needs. Planning projects we have worked on include a Comprehensive Plan for the Haul Road Corridor between Chandalar and Prudhoe Bay, Wastewater Treatment Facilities Plan for Wainwright and Kaktovik, Barrow Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance Revision for the Fairbanks North Star Borough and a Subdivision Ordinance for the North Slope Borough. Whether the project is a long-range redevelopment plan or a zoning ordinance, the wishes of the local people, their needs and hopes for their community, are of primary importance to us in developing effective plans. Our experienced Alaska team members meet with local clients and other residents in a variety of settings ranging from formal meetings in Municipal building to informal, small group sessions in small community centers. In this way we ensure that our plans truly serve the community as well as being technically viable. Please call on me if I can be of further assistance.

However, carefully planned redevelopment -of an area, articularly one containing -historic sites, offers a unique opportunity to preserve the historic character and flavor of an rea, while providing modern neighborhood amenities. A design scheme should strive to enhance the visual quality of an area while reinforcing the existing business and residential areas and• ttracting new businesses to assure economic viability. A sound development plan provides the basis for improvement decisions by public bodies and private property owners. Once a specific plan is put together, it becomes much easier to obtain not only funding, but also consensus on redevelopment. guidelines and implementation strategies.

I 1 0 r i � f �- i r, i rr+ METHODOLOGY In undertaking a redevelopment plan for an area, several factors need to be taken into consideration. Among them are a land use overview to assess the predominant types of structures, ownership Patterns and vacant lots or buildings. Careful verification of existing maps and secondary data are necessaryto -� accurate a picture as provide as the redevelopmentPossible. proposed sibie. An important consideration in of the study area is to seek strengths from the historic. roots while taking full advantage of the s the tacular natural views offered by the area's relationship to Balanced with preserving the historic qualities is an emphasis on i assuring modern neighborhood amenities. Underlying all of these f -� considerations is the assumption that this redevelopment effort f will have an economic benefit. Concomitantly, as the area becomes physically and economically attractive, it is expected that private investors will seek to expand and/or develop - .establishments in t P other '. his area. In assassin the I g potential for an area and in developing recom- mendations,,. three essential components must be woven throughout any plan: oughout I. Design considerations, which include an area's appearance and set ng, 1'an�scaping and open space, design harmony, 7 buildings, signs, parking, access both vehicular and 1, pedestrian, lighting, and rehabilitation potential. 2. Appsopriate economic policies for renovation and rehabilita- 1! t on. This coul- include —such -such 'e'ideas as lr business and property owners or a revolving tax breaks for . g loan fund. 3. Pundin sources that can be leveraged to coordinate a redevelopment effort. r "i '7 The City of Kenai must develop appropriate for the development plans. The consultant -will develop criteria �`•, realistic development concepts for consideration. As an alterna- tive, we could develop a "straw man" concept, a plan which is more extreme than the other two plans but one which may be useful for comparison purposes. The consultant believes that developing three design alternatives is a solid beginning as a redevelopment effort. However, as the final redevelopment plan will most likely be a synthesis of several aspects of the plans, further work could be needed to refine the plan and to assure that it fits the needs of the - Community. �r i If the City is interested, the consultant could negotiate an additional scope of work contract to help refine the redevelop- ment approaches. In addition we could assist in organizing a group composed of public bodies, business owners and private landowners to work together is developing and implementing appropriate desi n criteria for an aestheticallyg neigh- borhood. A vital, attractive neighborhood boyhood. ouldsireinforce existing businesses, attract new businesses to the area and serve to, develop a heightened sense of community partnership. We believe that such a group of private and public interests will assure strong community involvement along each step of the process. �I I Key Activities Work Tasks 1-11 Work.
