• CGA completed a master plan for the Bonaventure Community within the City of Weston.
• This area was built more than 25 years ago under the jurisdiction of Broward County. The
County zoning criteria had not been changed or modified since It was adopted in the 1950s,
• However, the changing dernographics created a need for new parks, bike paths, and
• sidewalks. The infrastructure also needed upgrading. Before developing a master plan, it
was necessary to review the existing codes and integrate the newer ordinances,which CGA
• had develooed for the rower sections of the City. The gnal was to ensure the existing
• conditions under the old codes could be enhanced with the newer codes.
• The first step was inventorying existing facilities. Water and sewer Imes, roads, sidewalks,
• and public facilities such as parks were identified. verified. and categorized as to conditions.
Recommendations for improvements were presented to homeowner groups and
• associations. Initially, CGA recommended that visible (and at minirnal cost) improvements
such as landscaping, entry features, and signage be Implemented to establish a therne for
• the neighborhood- The next step was to work with community groups to prioritize a wish list
• of improvements and explore funding mechanisms. Both time and money were onportant
• factors
• The City Commission made the final determination and the order in which the improvements
• will be completed along with the methodology of funding the improvements.

• The City of Sunny Islas Beach Town Center Zoning Ordinance implemented the vision of the David Pineda
i Clty's Comprehensive Pan for the core area of the City, The ordinance replaced the
�.undedying Miami Dade County zoning criteria that was in place when the city was
• incorporated.
• The vision of this Town Center involved creating a new flexible zoning district to meet the
• changing demographics of the City from an older retirement carnmunity to a mix of young
• protessienals and families and provide an irnpetus for the revitalization of the core of the
City. The Town Center provides for a mix of residential, commercial and office uses, all in
• the same building.
• The ordinance balances the needs of the development community with the desires of the
i residents. Many workshops were held to educate and explain the concept of a Town Center
i to both property owners within the town center area and residents. It was important to
explain concepts such as space, density, intensity end height. A variety of tools such as a
• 3D imaging and power point presentations were used to help explain the concepts.

accordance with the City's adopted Cnl -Wide Master Plan..

• A major goal of the RAC expansion was to provide greater flexibility in locating new
residential development in areas of the City targeted for redevelopment primarily along
• major transportation corridors in the City, while at the same time preserving the> established
• single-family and low density neighborhoods.
• The targeting of new residential development along existing transportation corridors also
• supports the goal of increasing urban density to a sufficient level to make mass transit usage

• The principles of traditional neighborhood planning and city building are the guiding principles of our
approach. Standards which promote a well-connected system of low-speed streets faced with homes and
• accented with sidewalks and street trees. Streets designed ibr the comfort of file pedestrian and the cyclist as
• well as for the efficient parking and distribution of traffic. Ali identifiable public realm composed of'streets.
• parks, squares, and other forms of open space, which provide opportunities for recreation and an active
neighborhood life.
Neighborhood planning eflorts will focus iedevelopmcnt activities on the time-honored principles of
traditional city planning. Simply put, the aim is to control the continued sprawl encroaching these viable
• neighborhoods. Of great concern to staff in drafting growth policies, is the tact that sprawl oftentimes
• eradicates an area's uniqueness by establishing conventional building patterns that disrespect the existing
fabric of the community Dania Reach has a modest but urban central business district, numerous simple
• architectural style and historic structures. No one expects the area to remain this wav forever---but there are
• steps that can be taken to accommodate new development that respects the values and characteristics that are
unique to Dania Reach and the neighborhoods of College Gardens, Dania Reach Heights, and Sun Gardens
• Isles.
CGA believes that, in order for the project to be successful. projects of this magnitude require constant
communication between the city staff and the project consultant. City staff is intimately aware of the issues
• and problems to be addressed and we will work closely with staff to gain the understanding necessary to
• achieve the expected results. We are familiar with the latest planning techniques and practices and are willing
to "think outside the box- when analyzing problems and identifying solutions. CGA's philosophy is that
• every neighborhood is unique and therefore requires a tailored approach in order to provide a product the
• client and residents of the area will be satisfied and successful with.
t • Redevelopment plans encompass not only planning and zoning relationships, but extend to landscape
• architecture, civil engineering, and traffic engineering. Many of the people in file organizational chart for this

' Dear Mr. Leeds:
• EDAW is one of the largest and most recognized planning, landscape architecture, and urban design firms in
• the world,as evidenced in numerous awards for work in places big and small. With its leading initiatives in
• sustainable design, placemaking, park design, and urban revitalization strategies, EDAW's ongoing work
reflects the core values of innovation and collaboration which marked the firms founding over 60 years ago.
•
• EDAW is pleased to submit this response to the City of Dania Beach's request for Letters of Interest for
Planning Consultant Services for Neighborhood Master Plans for College Gardens, Dania Beach Heights,and
• Sun Garden Isles. I believe that EDAW is uniquely qualified,as detailed in that attached, to provide the City
• with these services.
• The City's vision for the three neighborhoods, as articulated in the 2003 Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area
Plan, imagines attractive, safe, and clean neighborhoods that provide the community facilities and housing and
• economic opportunities needed create a high quality of life for residents. EDAW has worked with numerous
municipalities in Florida and elsewhere to develop similar neighborhood plans that address development
• regulations, neighborhood character and identity, parks and open space, public amenities and capital
• improvements, and all of the other relevant components of successful neighborhoods.
• Of particular relevance,we are currently working to develop a Citywide Master Plan for the City of Hallandale
• Beach that addresses all of the city's neighborhoods. In all of this work, EDAW has maintained a commitment
to an inclusive and consensus based public participation process. In addition, we offer the ability to include a
• sound market and economic analysis in the planning process.
• We look forward to the opportunity to meet with representatives of the City to further discuss our unique
• approach to developing effective and achievable neighborhood master plans for the City of Dania Beach.

For the City of Miami Beach, EDAW developed comprehensive streetscape
and water and sewer infrastructure plans for the primarily residential
m - Flamingo and Oceanfront neighborhoods in South and Middle Beach.
. Although focused on a specific capital improvement program, the plans
considered and addressed the need to create plazas and other civic space
,- integrated into the public realm of the street. Accommodation of the primarily
S = residential and pedestrian nature of the neighborhoods through the creation
., ,.=,,. of wide sidewalks and shade tree canopy was a key plan element.

developed a mixed-use redevelopment plan with a primary residential

program to act as a catalyst for new development. The capital program

• PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
• Meaningful public involvement is key to the success of this planning effort.
We recognize the visioning process as an exciting opportunity for the
icommunity to become engaged and inventory their assets, identify
• challenges and opportunities, set goals and objectives.. and develop a
master plan necessary to support a shared vision. Visioning asks the entire
community to reflect on the question, "What do you want to be?" The
participatory nature is intended to create true"ownership"of strategic
. decisions and lay the groundwork for ongoing implementation.
At EDAW we have utilized a variety of public participation techniques to meet
• the needs of stakeholders and the public, We believe Thai the planning
. process will not succeed unless we have the buy-in of the project

i stakeholders and the public. This means a transparent and open process
i where active listening is especially important. We take the public process to
i where the people are: community centers, schools, places of worship,
neighborhood associations,and shopping centers. In past projects, we have
i offered public participation exercises appropriate to the audience. These
i exercises ranged from tactile hands-on exercises such as working with
i Rai building blocks to interactive technology surveys to help stakeholders and
the public act together to visualize their community's future. The Audience
ilu Response System(ARS)works within Microsoft Powerpoint and allows
audience members to prioritize or vote on vision statements,. goals,
i objectives or type of development appropriate for their community. Visual
ipreference surveys can be conducted using the ARS as well. The main
advantage of using the ARS is instant feedback--audience members vote
i anonymously and see whether or not they are in agreement with the
audience as a whole. Plus,the ARS makes plain pubis meetings fur.

i EDAW's experienced public involvement specialists can often anticipate how a

strength in developing supper(and consensus for plarmng projects is based
i on a thorough understanding of land-based issues and the ability to recognize
iand communicate the concerns of all interested parties. We set the stage for
mediation by assembling data,opening the planning process, and

Project Overview
' The City of Dania Beach desires to have a neighborhood master plan developed for three of its older neighbor-
hoods-College Gardens, Dania Beach Heights and Sun Garden Isles.The city seeks to identify potential capital
' improvements that correspond with the neighborhoods'needs,as well as identify property for future residential and
commercial land uses, plan for future parking and traffic flow, and develop landscape design plans for residential,
commercial and public uses.
' The team of Michele Mellgren & Associates, Rhon Ernest-Jones Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Mary Means &
Associates have in-depth experience and expertise in neighborhood planning, land use analysis,zoning code con-
formity,zoning code writing, economic analysis and community visioning.
' We successfully mobilize active community participation through direct mail,including churches,community groups
and homeowner associations to identify and take ownership of needed neighborhood improvements.
Based on community comments and working in conjunction with the city's planning department, we analyze ex-
isting land uses and zoning and develop a plan to modify uses and zoning to conform with the neighborhoods'
practical goals and recommendations.
Our team will inventory and determine the quality of the existing public facilities in the neighborhoods, and develop
a plan for improvements,additions and modifications to those facilities. In addition,we will identify areas where ad-
ditional public facilities and amenities can be located that will compliment and enhance the appearance and serve
the needs of the current and future residents of the three neighborhoods.
' Drawing on our land planning and engineering experience,we will determine a capital cost to each of the proposed
pudic facilities and amenities, identify possible funding sources to support possible land or right-of-way acquisition
and the expected maintenance costs of the services and amenities, and develop a proposed timeline based on
funding availability for implementing the capital improvements.

Knowledge & Experience
PRINCIPLES OF NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING
' Neighborhood planning is initiated by the neighborhood's residents, the community's elected representatives and
the city's planning staff. As consultants, Michele Mellgren & Associates will assist the planning staff to facilitate
neighborhood participation in College Gardens, Dania Beach Heights and Sun Garden Isles, helping to get many
' people and perspectves involved in the neighborhood planning process. Michele Mellgren&Associates will act as
an enabler and facilitator for the neighborhood stakeholders to identify and prioritize problems, needs and concerns
as they see them, as well as potential solutions and unrecognized opportunities. MMA will help the neighborhood
articulate and prioritize these things,as well as the development of various strategies for addressing the above.
Why is neighborhood involvement important? Neighborhoods are the building blocks of communities. Planning at
the neighborhood level is democratic governance at its most fundamental and effective form. Without the involve-
ment of residents, business owners and community organizations ex: places of worship), well-intentioned capital
improvements,policy changes and regulations may not reflect the neighborhood's collective perception of its needs
and priorities, and are less likely to be embraced by the neighborhood.
' Moreover, in the absence of an inclusive neighborhood planning process, the City misses a major opportunity to
demonstrate to its citizens that they have the collective power to affect positive change;to empower its citizens to
care for their neighborhoods and take initiative for their betterment;to learn from their residents,; organizations and
business owners;and, ultimately better serve all of these entities.
' As a result of a successful neighborhood planning process, which MMA defines as being an ongoing process
through establishment or reinforcement of permanent neighborhood organizations, neighborhoods may better be
able to organize and mobilize after having some successes at affecting change, a heightened recognition of
com-mon interests, and an organizational structure and level of communication both with the City and each other that
didn't previously exist.
' Elements of the Plan
Land Use and Zoning
' A land use plan proposes the future distribution, location, and variety of land uses and open spaces in neighbor-
hoods and on their periphery. Land uses include residential, retail, office, industry, open space, and recreation
space.The plan serves as a tool for preserving,strengthening and revitalizing a neighborhood through compatibility
of land uses and the development form they take,and improving community appearance. Recommendations may
' include changes in such regulations as commercial and recreational vehicle parking, accessory uses and buildings,
landscaping, buffering and screening requirements, building mass, height and/or orientation standards, and other
site and building standards intended to improve compatibility, meet community needs for services and amenities,
and enhance overall neighborhood livability.
Transportation
Transportation and mobility issues are vitally important to neighborhoods. The different transportation systems
within the neighborhood - sidewalks, roads, public transit routes, bicycle lanes, pedestrian paths and open space
or parks - should be examined and discussed through out the process. Planners should determine how these
transportation routes function within the neighborhood, as well as how they connect to the rest of the city. The
neighborhood plan can recommend improvements to existing parks or the creation of new neighborhood parks and
' other recreational amenities.
Infrastructure
' This portion of the plan addresses needs for drainage,sidewalks,recreational facilities,lighting,access,and parking
and results in recommendations for capital improvements to be prioritized and which may be funded in a variety
of ways, to be identified in the plan.
Letter of nterest-Dania Beach Planning Consultant Services 6
MICHELE MELLGREN&ASSOCIATES 6.5
' Neighborhood Design Guidelines
The neighborhood design guidelines are guides for building rehabilitation and new construction, suggesting ways
buildings can harmonize with and enhance their surroundings.The guidelines are not intended to limit development
or innovation within the neighborhood planning area, but rather, serve as suggestions that offer architectural direc-
tion to property owners and builders. Following the suggestions of the Neighborhood Guidelines is often voluntary.
Format
The main body of the Neighborhood Plan is made up of Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations, each element
being more specific than the one preceding it.
Goals: At the beginning, stakeholders and planners brainstorm broad goals for the future of the community.These
should encapsulate the desired outcomes of the neighborhood plan, and should be expressed as general state-
ments.An example goal: Enhance and preserve existing open space, parks, and the natural environment.
Objectives: The plan's objectives provide details about the goals of the plan. When possible, these statements
should be expressed in measurable terms. An example objective: Increase and preserve green space—pocket
parks/neighborhood greens, public rights-of-way,etc.—in areas where it is needed and desired.
Recommendations: Recommendations should be as specific as possible.An example of a recommendation that
clearly states an action required to implement the objective of increasing and preserving greenspaoe could be the
development of linear parks along the Dania Cut-off canal.
Toward the end of the process, stakeholders will be asked to prioritize action items. This is very important when
there are several expensive action items such as building a new public pool or greatly expanding the sidewalk net-
work. By establishing priorities, a neighborhood can help frame decisions in terms of what should take place first.
Understanding What the Recommendations Will Cost
Michele Mellgren&Associates develops capital cost estimates and identifies possible federal,state and local fund-
ing sources prior to the plan's presentation to the planning commission and city council.
Cost estimates play a role in the city council's decision to adopt a plan, but more than anything, cost estimates de-
termine what is and what is not done once a plan is adopted. Priority rankings direct city departments and neighbor-
hood stakeholders where to focus their energy, but funding limitations are sometimes insurmountable, particularly
during this period of tax rollback.Being flexible and creating prac'.ical alternatives are two of the surest ways to see
a neighborhood plan come to life,since city resources are always in flux. In order for a neighborhood to achieve its
goals in the fastest amount of time possible, stakeholders and planners should look for creative alternatives to big
ticket items.
Neighborhood Review
Neighborhood plans should be thoroughly reviewed and endorsed by members of the community.There are numer-
ous opportunities for members of the neighborhood to voice their opinions and thoughts throughout the process.
' Dialogue will occur during neighborhood meetings and public hearings. Michele Mellgren&Associates will organize
and facilitate neighborhood meetings to receive comments on the neighborhood plan. It will notify residents of pub-

Knowledge & Experience
' PREPARING DEVELOPMENT PLANS
' Michele Mellgren&Associates has extensive experience preparing development plans, and Rhon Ernest-Jones
Consulting Engineers is a recognized leader in transportation planning.With Mary Means&Associates, we offer
a strong combination of resources to facilitate community involvement and input, analysis of existing land uses,
recommendations for potential land uses, and presentation development.
' Our expertise in the neighborhood master and small-area development plan preparation, as well as plans for
redevelopment and housing have helped rapidly growing and gentrifying municipalities gain control over current
development issues,and create long-range plans for future growth and development.
' Our community outreach and visioning workshops have enabled fractured communities to achieve consensus on
current and future development and move forward with community development and redevelopment.
' Michele Mellgren&Associates has successfully provided governments with:
• Zoning code and land development regulation writing and evaluation that provides an understanding of
the impact of current and future regulations on stimulating mixed uses, preserving open space and envi-
ronmentally sensitive areas,providing a choice of housing types and transportation modes, and making
the development review process more predictable.
• Public participation and consensus building to Involve citizens in developing a vision for the community's
future.
' • Corridor studies that plan for the revitalization of blighted and underperforming business districts to
promote community identity, and by incorporating transit oriented developments and roadway improve-
ments.
• Evaluation and appraisal reports that help successfully address major community land use planning
issues through evaluation of their comprehensive plan. Our clients have included the Village of Miami
Shores, and the cities of Parkland, North Miami Beach,Sunrise and Tamarac.
• Development review—the implementation aspect of the planning process where the policies, land uses,
zoning activities and design guidelines are joined to ordinance requirements, private market development
' proposals, and professional land-planning practices.
For example, in the Town of Southwest Ranches, FL, we were retained to write the town's unified land develop-
ment and zoning codes. (We also serve as its outsourced planning and zoning department.)Community involve-
ment and consensus building was one of the biggest challenges throughout the unified land development and
zoning code process because, until incorporation,the Ranches was loosely regulated and largely ignored by the
county.The area incorporated to stop encroaching urbanization and to preserve its rural lifestyle. Educating the
community about the importance of some regulations was key to our success.Our approach was to make sure
that citizens understood that regulating some of their"freedom to"do certain things would ultimately protect them
from the"freedom from"overbearing and inappropriate development patterns.We conducted community meet-
ings,organized citizen committees to evaluate proposed zoning codes, reviewed and explained the possible out-
comes of decisions to citizens, and produced a final draft that was adopted by a newt'constituted Town Council.
In North Miami Beach,we used computer animation to help the community residents visualize how redevelop-
ment of a downtown area would appear in the future, and presented the city's government with visual options for
' height and density. Our community involvement process allowed neighborhood residents to comment on and
to develop consensus on a new land use plan,and to proceed with rezoning certain areas to encourage higher
Intensity commercial and denser residential development, while protecting the surrounding area's single-family
neighborhoods.
' A member of our team, Rhon Ernest-Jones Consulting Engineers,wrote the City of Dania Beach Redevelop-
ment Plan,wherein they conducted community visioning meetings, identifying redevelopment issues,developing
a conceptual sector plan,and drafting the text of the redevelopment plan.The firm also worked for the Town of
' Miami Lakes to develop a comprehensive cost/benefit study of annexation key issues, including an increase in
cost to provide municipal services,land use issues, projected ad valorem tax revenues,service provider analysis,
and necessary Comprehensive Plan amendments. It also has worked on comprehensive plan amendments for
the City of Sebastian, Marco Island,Glades County, and others.

Mary's work in community-based strategic planning has galvanized support for positive change in struggling down-
towns, older neighborhoods, and fast-growing communities. The Spotsylvania County (Virginia) Comprehensive
Plan sparked a decade of deep community support for strong growth management policies. The Rutland, Vr
Redevelopment Strategy served as blueprint for$45 million in new investment and dramatic change in the city's
image and civic health.The award-winning Comprehensive Plan for Lynchburg(VA)defined development strategies
and quickly led to strong community support for higher quality development standards and housing rehabilitation
programs.
Planning at a Regional Scale
Mary has skillfully coached collaborations involving Federal, state, county and municipal agencies, as well as busi-
ness and civic interests.Most have led to results—including national heritage areas,trails and greenways,and trans-
portation improvements.A recognized national leader in heritage development, She led the multi-disciplinary teams
that prepared plans for the Delaware&Lehigh Canal National Heritage Corridor and the Lancaster-York Heritage
Region. For the Atlanta Regional Commission, Mary developed the innovative public engagement approach now
' being applied to long range plans for several major transportation corridors in metro Atlanta.
