depth of experience that are needed in order to provide sound advice to our clients. Our team members are educated with advanced degrees in planning, public administration, economics,
landscape architecture, or law, with interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees and special studies in architecture, community and regional planning, urban design, land planning, resource
planning, geographic and information management systems, communication, and facilitation. The professional planners at KKC bring experience with county, municipal, and regional governments,
civic organizations, developers, farmers, foresters, miners, business owners, and neighbors who are affected by new development. This diversity of experience gives KKC a range of perspectives
regarding planning, regulatory, and development issues and the types of measures that will be most effective to resolve — or, ideally, prevent — conflicts. In all of its work, KKC strives
to improve development processes and outcomes through appropriate planning methods and continuing innovation. Firm Qualifications Members of the Centennial Advisory Team celebrate receipt
of the Outstanding Planning Project Award from the Colorado Chapter of the American Planning Association.

and appropriate regulations has been a major part of KKC’s practice since the firm was founded in 1982. KKC is a consistent leader Firm Qualifications
and innovator in the area of land development regulation from multiple angles: the substantive and procedural solutions, electronic presentation and delivery, interactive tools for administration
and compliance review, and client-based codification after code adoption. The firm’s approach is deeply rooted in a tradition of effective problemsolving. Lane Kendig, founder of KKC,
is the original developer of the performance zoning system. Performance zoning was born from the need to deal with the inability of Euclidean zoning to protect agricultural landscapes
and economies in rural Pennsylvania from sprawling development patterns. Its core is thoughtful analysis about how to fit together a set of regulations that directly address planning
objectives (like protection of community character or preservation of farming communities) in the context of market realities. Because of this root, KKC is careful to ensure that its
modern codes are well tailored to implement plans — without overreaching and limiting the creativity of problem solvers “on the ground.” Because KKC knows that there is no substitute
for hard work, the firm’s clients know that their codes will be tailored to their individual needs, according to the character of the community, the community’s stated planning objectives,
the input from project participants, the administrative resources and technical capacity of the community and the private sector, the legal authority of the community, and local political
and market imperatives. Success and Reputation KKC and each of its employees have been recognized for quality results in plan making and development code preparation. The firm has received
awards from the national organization of the American Planning Association (“APA”), state chapters and local sections of APA, the National Association of Counties, and the Florida Planning
and Zoning Association, as well as the “Best in American Living” award from the National Homebuilders Association, Better Homes and Gardens, and Professional Builder magazines. Awards
received by the firm and its staff (including those staff members received while with former employers) include: National Awards Loudoun County, Virginia General Plan, Comprehensive

Kendig Keast Collaborative has assembled a highly-qualified group of staff who contribute the breadth of knowledge and depth of experience required to offer sound consulting advice.
Nearly all of our personnel have advanced degrees in planning, public administration, or law, with interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees and special studies in architecture, community
and regional planning, urban design, historic preservation, growth management, economics, and environmental planning. Our professional backgrounds all include experience with local,
county and regional governments --as well as with private developers --experience which we believe to be essential to our understanding of the interests and issues from a variety of
perspectives, and the measures that are needed to effectively resolve and address them. Project Team Generally The KKC team is led by Todd Messenger, AICP, our code practice leader,
who has 12 years of experience in land use planning, six of which were spent as a land use attorney in a complex regulatory environment. Todd will be the principal facilitator and draftsperson,
will provide overall project management, and will time and sequence individual team member involvement. Project Team, Roles, and Responsibilities Todd Messenger, AICP Project Manager;
Principal Substantive Contact; Principal Draftsperson; Facilitation Lane Kendig Strategic Advisor Bret Keast, AICP Quality Control; Principal Administrative Contact Liz Austin Research;
Design; Analysis Matt Bucchin, AICP Drafting; Research Leslie Lamont, AICP Facilitation
Project Team, Roles, and Responsibilities KKC’s President, Bret Keast, AICP, will provide performance review and quality control, and KKC personnel Matt Bucchin and Liz Probst will provide
support as needed. Lane Kendig will provide strategic support. Subcontractor Leslie Lamont will assist with the initial outline of issues and with public facilitation. Todd Messenger,
AIC P, Project Manager Todd will manage the project and be the principal point of contact for substantive matters. Todd has a broad and deep background in land use planning and land
development regulation, public involvement, redevelopment planning and due diligence, and public and private sector representation in land development and land use issues. Todd’s perspective
and analytical methodology are shaped by six years of experience as a land use attorney. While Todd does not practice law with KKC, he is well positioned to help our clients’ counsel
identify and resolve issues. Todd views the drafting of land development regulations as the art of articulating the client community’s shared values in a way that underscores what it
means to be a “good neighbor” with respect to the use and development of land. This starts with the assumptions that: People should be able to do whatever they want with their land,
but that their rights stop where their neighbors’ rights begin; and Codes should provide stability that promotes investment in property and durable development of the local economy.
In that context, and since land development decisions have consequences that typically last for decades, Todd believes that regulations should be clear enough so that people understand
in advance what is allowed — and should provide quick approvals for projects and uses that are consistent with the articulated rules for being a “good neighbor.” Todd believes in eliminating
procedures that do not materially add to the quality of development outcomes. Matt Bucchin, AIC P, LEED Green Associate Matt Bucchin will work with Todd on analysis, and drafting of
the new regulations. Matt brings more than 15 years of public sector experience, including seven years focusing primarily on community and development planning, citizen participation
and the public use and protection of natural resources. Before joining KKC, Matt led the planning division During the development of the Valparaiso, IN Unified Development Ordinance,
Todd worked within the framework of Indiana’s zoning enabling statutes, and worked well with the City Attorney to introduce new applications of state law into the City’s new Unified
Development Ordinance. Todd provided the research, the reasoning, and the proposed regulatory language, and the City Attorney reviewed and endorsed the proposals. After the project was
completed, Todd presented some of the approaches used in Valparaiso at an advanced continuing legal education seminar in Indiana.
for Forsyth County, Georgia, a fast-growing county in metropolitan Atlanta. During his tenure, he gained extensive experience in drafting code that reflected good planning principles,
while at the same time being sensitive and responsive to local political culture and imperatives. In addition to his substantive and leadership responsibilities at the county, Matt was
a contributing author to the American Planning Association’s Rebuilding America Green Infrastructure Sub-Task Force Report. The report evaluated current conditions and challenges, and
identified recommendations for changes in policy and practice regarding green infrastructure. Bret Keast, AIC P, President Bret Keast, AICP, President, will be the principal administrative
contact and will be responsible for quality assurance /quality control. Bret has 22 years of experience in both the public and private sectors. His practice focuses on comprehensive
planning, implementing regulations, land use and transportation studies, parks and recreation master plans, special area plans, plan implementation programs, and public involvement.
His client communities have been recognized each year since 1997 with statewide awards for outstanding plans and projects. Bret is the co-author (with Lane Kendig) of two recently published
books: Community Character, Principles for Design and Planning and A Practical Guide to Planning for Community Character (Island Press, 2010). In addition to contributing to the profession
through his writing, Bret is a frequent presenter and panelist at state, multi-state, and national planning conferences and workshops. LanE Kendig, Strategic Advisor Lane Kendig will
provide strategic guidance to the project. Lane is a nationally known innovator in the field of planning and land development regulation. For more than 35 years, Lane has advanced the
fields of land use planning, growth management, housing, environmental planning, zoning and land use controls, site and land design, and impact and feasibility analyses. He has worked
throughout the United States and in Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Project Team, Roles, and Responsibilities
Lane has written plans and ordinances separately and simultaneously and studied special problems concerning economic development, transportation, growth management, special zoning regulations,
and open space programs, among others. Liz Austin, AIC P Liz Austin, AICP will provide support for the project with respect to research, analysis, and design. Liz works on multiple scales,
ranging from site analysis of small study areas to regional GIS mapping. Her current and ongoing experience includes conducting background studies, site analysis, conceptual design,
graphic design, and technical writing. LESLIE LA MONT , AIC P Lamont Planning Services, LLC Kendig Keast Collaborative is pleased to team with Leslie Lamont, AICP of Lamont Planning
Services, LLC for this project. Leslie has been doing general land use planning work throughout the Roaring Fork Valley for the last 17 years, and brings a broad and deep understanding
of the planning issues that affect Garfield County and the region — as well as the perspectives and philosophies of the people who live there. Leslie began her own planning consulting
service in 2003. Her firm is built on years of experience which included: principal planner for Otak, Inc., project planner and Deputy Director of Community Development for the City
of Aspen (focusing on current planning /development review) and caseload planner for the Boston Redevelopment Authority. Leslie has also served as a County Commissioner for Pitkin County.
Leslie lives and works in Carbondale, Colorado, where she is currently working on the Town’s Comprehensive Plan revisions with a team that includes Kendig Keast Collaborative. Project
Team, Roles, and Responsibilities
Kendig Keast Collaborative’s diverse portfolio of work includes rural counties, freestanding small towns, and metropolitan cities, all in various stages of development. Central to all
of the firm’s projects is a focus on the existing and desired character of the community. KKC helps its clients: Reform procedures to ensure that land use decisions are timely, consistent,
informed, efficient, and fair; Identify the aspects of the community’s character that are dear to its residents and then protect those assets using the power of the market; and Identify
the areas where change is desirable or inevitable and then help the client communities manage that change according to their adopted plans. Project Examples Centennial, Colorado Land
Development Code Centennial, Colorado is a southern suburb of Denver that incorporated in the year 2000. At the time of incorporation, the City was mostly built-out, but still subject
to a land development code drafted decades earlier for a rural county. After the City developed a Comprehensive Plan and several special area plans, it engaged KKC to write a new, original
Land Development Code to implement those plans. The principal objectives of the project were to: implement the City’s vision and plans; protect neighborhoods; modernize the Code, making
it integrated and easy to use for developers, residents, staff, and decision-makers; streamline the approval procedures while ensuring meaningful public participation; allow for the
development of modern real estate products (e.g., mixed-use and traditional neighborhood development); create value by promoting infill development and redevelopment in designated areas;
strengthen the link between land use and transportation (and thereby promote mobility); promote sustainable development patterns and techniques; mitigate the impacts of development;
provide for housing diversity; and implement design standards in key areas. Project Examples Relevance Community participation Code modernization Plan implementation Housing diversity
Service provider coordination Provision for mixed-use centers Protection of established neighborhoods Respect for property rights Colorado Chapter, APA Award-Winner
KKC worked with a Technical Team made up of City staff and agency representatives to consider technical issues of the rewrite; an Advisory Team made up of elected and appointed officials,
civic and neighborhood representatives, developers, and business owners to make policy and implementation recommendations; and the public, via community meetings and on-line comments
submitted in Zoning PLUS. Teton County and Town of Jackson, Wyoming Comprehensive Plan & Land Development Regulations Lane Kendig, Inc. (now Kendig Keast Collaborative) was engaged to
develop a comprehensive plan and zoning regulations jointly for Teton County and the Town of Jackson, Wyoming. Teton County is home to a portion of the Grand Teton National Park, the
Snake River, National Elk Refuge, and a strong tourist economy. Project priorities included protecting community character; managing growth; protecting natural resources, including habitat,
skylines and scenic views; providing for affordable housing; respecting property rights; and enhancing community mobility. Kendig developed a comprehensive plan for the two jurisdictions,
with expansion areas for the Town and other areas designated to remain under County jurisdiction (e.g., a growth area was designated for a major ski resort). The remainder of the County
was to remain rural. To address the challenge of natural resource stewardship, Kendig developed a methodology for assessing the carrying capacity of the land for development and wildlife
habitat. With assistance from a local wildlife consultant, a habitat rating system was developed. It was originally calibrated to threatened and endangered species, and then through
a peer review committee, balanced to protect winter ranges of deer and elk, as well as calving grounds and feeding areas. The habitat rating system was then incorporated into the environmental
performance standards component of the zoning regulations. The plan and ordinance provided for design standards for Jackson; also dealt with nonconformities; and limited so-called “monster
homes.” The “monster home” provisions were successfully defended in court, and have been the subject of several American Planning Association conference discussions. Relevant Projects
RELEVANCE Broad range of natural resource and wildlife stewardship issues (habitat, sensitive lands, skylines, feeding areas, views) Community character Growth management Housing affordability
Kootenai County, Idaho Unified Land Use Code and Interlocal Agreements Kootenai County, Idaho retained KKC to develop a new unified land use code (“ULUC”) to implement its new Comprehensive
Plan, which was developed in-house. Kootenai County is located in Northern Idaho along the I-90 corridor. The County is approximately 1,244 square miles in area, and is home to nearly
139,000 people, approximately 70 percent of whom live in incorporated Cities. Kootenai County has a diverse landscape that is rich with natural resources, including timber, scenic lakes,
and a prolific yet vulnerable aquifer. Growth in the County during the “boom” of the early 2000s highlights the need for protecting rural economies and rural character and reducing the
impact of development on water quality. Idaho law requires Counties and Cities to agree to the regulations that apply within negotiated “areas of city impact.” In addition to working
with the County on developing a new ULUC, KKC is currently facilitating discussions with the cities to create new ACI agreements that will address land use issues around the Cities and
ensure that Cities do not get “cut off” from future growth due to inefficient development patterns on the urban fringe. Grundy County, Illinois Unified Development Ordinance KKC prepared
a new Unified Development Ordinance (“UDO”) for Grundy County, Illinois. Grundy County is located at the southwestern edge of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, and is known for having some
of the most productive farmland in the United States. Because of its strategic location, demand for future urban and suburban development in the area has been accelerating. County officials
responded to this by adopting a comprehensive plan that places greater emphasis on slower growth in the rural areas, protecting natural resources and scenic areas, and preserving farmland.
Relevant Projects RELEVANCE Rural /agricultural county with need to protect agriculture and forestry Protection of water resources and wildlife habitat Streamlined procedures Application
of statewide planning law Highly diverse points of view Respect for property rights RELEVANCE Rural /agricultural county with need to protect agriculture and diversify economic opportunity
Protection of scenic areas and vistas Streamlined procedures Respect for property rights
KKC was retained to develop the UDO to implement the goals and objectives of the Plan. The principal objective of the plan and the new regulations is to support the County’s rural community
character. Accordingly, the UDO offers simple, proven techniques for farmland and natural resource protection, with greater emphasis on clustering residential lots, preserving open space,
and using conservation easements that permanently protect farmland. The UDO also simplified procedures and reduced the number of zoning districts in the County from twelve to six. Tangipahoa
Parish, Louisiana Comprehensive Plan & Draft Subdivision Regulations Kendig Keast Collaborative developed a first-ever Comprehensive Plan for Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. The Parish
is an 803 square mile area centered along a rail corridor, located on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain. Traditionally a slow growing, predominately rural setting where agriculture
and forestry industries dominate the landscape, the Parish experienced a sudden influx of 7,000 to 10,000 people in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “Ex-urban” residential subdivisions
proliferated at an unprecedented rate in the unincorporated Parish, changing its character and the quality of life for the long-time residents, not to mention overburdening infrastructure
that was already outmoded before the new development came. Tangipahoa Parish was confronted with considerable challenges in preserving its heritage, managing its character, upgrading
and maintaining its infrastructure, creating good jobs and sustaining a sound tax base, and overcoming its housing constraints. The planning process was heavily citizen-based, with no
less than 20 meetings (7 small-group, 6 “citizens’ congress,” and 7 steering committee) scheduled during the planning process; a web site for posting planning documents and receiving
feedback; and extensive public outreach. Open steering committee meetings and public outreach built trust among a sizeable group of farmers and foresters that distrusted planning and
regulation, by showing them how planning protected their individual and economic interests. The plan was ultimately adopted with overwhelming support from a broad-based group of Parish
residents. Relevant Projects RELEVANCE Large rural parish (county) with freestanding and composite municipalities Many independent service providers Need to manage growth in a fiscally
responsible way Protection of water quality; management of erosion, runoff, and on-site sewers Fire protection and public safety for development in unincorporated areas Meaningful participation
and outreach in a challenging political environment Respect for property rights Louisiana Chapter, APA Award-Winner
After adopting the plan, the Parish retained KKC to revise the Parish’s subdivision regulations to implement the plan. The proposed new regulations used the “traffic shed” concept to
calibrate development potential to the available rural road capacity, based on dimensions, surfacing, and proximity to state highways. They also encouraged higher densities near municipalities
with services and in centers that already had a critical mass of development. The Center for Planning Excellence recognized the extraordinary success of the comprehensive planning effort
and selected the Parish as one of two jurisdictions in the state to test a “land use toolkit” it was developing. The selection occurred after the subdivision regulations were well underway,
but before they were finalized. Given the unique opportunity (which would provide a more comprehensive set of regulations without cost to the Parish), and the potential confusion that
may be caused by adopting two different sets of implementing regulations in a relatively short time frame, the Parish opted to participate in the pilot program and not finalize the subdivision
regulations. Relevant Projects
Kendig Keast Collaborative’s philosophy is simple — provide unique, innovative (yet realistic), and implementable regulatory solutions that address the unique and complex issues that
each client faces. That means: (1) the product must be useful; (2) “one size does not fit all;” (3) the code must be “as simple as possible, but not simpler;” (4) the code must help
the County use the market to deliver real estate products that implement the County’s plans and expectations; and (5) the code should create (and add) value. This underlying philosophy
defines the firm’s approach to this and every project, and is particularly relevant to Garfield County considering its substantive and procedural objectives for this phase of its regulatory
amendments. Philosophy Behind KKC’s Code Practice KKC’s philosophy is rooted in its commitment to hard work on behalf of its client communities. This dedication leads to satisfied clients
and professional recognition. Indeed, since May 2009, six of KKC’s clients have earned awards from their state chapters of the American Planning Association as a result of the adoption
of plans and codes created by KKC. The firm’s approach is defined by five principles, which shape the proposed scope of work and all of the project deliverables. They are summarized
below. The Product Must Be Useful One factor that tends to set KKC apart is that it cuts through trendy planning buzzwords and “groupthink” to make sure that its codes come from: Critical
thinking about the articulated objectives and needs of the client; and Sensitivity to the unique character of the community. Because KKC does not bring a canned “prescription,” but instead
identifies issues before solutions, its codes are useful, effective, and durable. One Size Does Not Fit All KKC is careful to deliver (and calibrate) appropriate tools that its clients
will use to solve real-life, everyday problems. This is a two-part process: First, the client must be able to use the tool (it must fit the administrative capacity of the County and
the capabilities of the private sector); and Philosophy & Approach PROBLEM SOLVIN G IS KEY Land development regulation is a multifaceted challenge that requires looking at issues through
a variety of “lenses.” Regulations should be balanced to address all facets of the County’s planning objectives. One metaphor is the Rubik’s Cube. Each side represents a different aspect
of land development regulation, such as: form and design, housing choice, economic development, natural resource protection, mobility, and growth management. Solving for only one side
— such as the form of development, has impacts on the other sides — but does not necessarily (or even, usually) solve them too. KKC understands how the various facets of land development
regulation are related, and carefully thinks through its codes to “solve all sides” — with the objective of reducing unintended consequences.
Second, the tool must be appropriate (it must be functional and directly solve the problem). To ensure that the process works, the firm helps its clients articulate their challenges
first, and then helps them choose specific tools to address them. Codes Must Be As Simp le As Possible Our team firmly believes, as Albert Einstein once said, that, “everything should
be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” To be effective, land development regulations must be presented in plain terms, with illustrative graphics and straightforward procedures.
As such, KKC organizes regulations around the two questions that landowners most often have in mind: “What can I do with my property?” “Who (and how) do I have to ask?” KKC’s codes are
designed to answer the most common questions in a manner that has both flexibility and certainty and that promotes the public’s interests in protecting community character, managing
natural resources, creating space for economic activity, and providing housing and mobility choices. The firm also works within the constraints of applicable state law to simplify and
standardize development approval procedures to the greatest extent legally and politically feasible. Codes Must Use the Market to deliver on Planning Objectives Of course, answering
the most common landowner questions requires an understanding of the County’s planning objectives, knowledge of the preferences of the County’s residents with regard to alternative implementation
measures, and an appreciation for how regulations work with (or against) the market to produce physical results and lasting economic opportunity. In this respect, KKC consults the County’s
plans, seeks input from those involved in ongoing planning efforts, and pursues a robust public involvement strategy. Codes Should Create (or Add) Value Codes should create or add value.
Accordingly, members of the firm frequently advocate for code provisions that include qualitative and flexible site design standards that reflect best practices for stewardship and fiscal
responsibility. For developers who bring such projects, the code should provide a predictable and timely approval process. Philosophy & Approach KKC routinely scopes its projects to
provide plain language issue summaries (excerpts are pictured above) to a steering committee to frame discussions. By addressing code issues before technical language is drafted, the
technique promotes meaningful discussion and general agreement among technical and non-technical participants alike.
Kendig Keast Collaborative offers the following proposed scope of services as a starting point for scoping out this project. The scope is set out in three phases (with and optional fourth),
which correspond to the phases in the Request for Proposals. KKC is committed to creating a scope that meets the expectations and budget of the County, and therefore will work with the
County to modify the scope as appropriate. Proposed Scope and Project Phasing Generally KKC proposes to build upon the outline of the scope of work presented in the Request for Proposals.
Phase 1 | Assessment and Proposed Revisions Phase 1 involves an assessment of the existing policy, regulations, and proposals for reform; two meetings with the advisory committee and
Staff to focus in on priority items; and a presentation to the Board. During Phase 1, KKC will: 1. Meet with County Staff to establish communications, scheduling, file format, and administrative
protocols; receive data (e.g., GIS files, aerials, etc.); lay out a detailed schedule for the project; and refine project roles. Deliverable: memo regarding schedule, protocols, and
roles 2. Compile and comprehensively review relevant existing documents, including the Phase I code revisions, Spring 2011 stakeholder interviews, Phase II recommended changes (Clarion
report), and December 2011 working group recommendations. Deliverable: Initial consolidated outline of recommendations, to be presented to the advisory committee. 3. Facilitate two meetings
with the advisory committee and meet with County staff to discuss proposals for revision, reach general agreement, and establish priorities for implementation. Deliverable: Consolidated,
prioritized outline of recommendations 4. Present the consolidated, prioritized outline of recommendations to the Board. Deliverables: Final consolidated, prioritized outline of recommendations;
presentation materials Scope of Services
Scope of Services Phase 2 | Iterative Drafting Phase 2 involves translating the plain-language priority items into regulatory text for inclusion in the County’s code. During Phase 2,
KKC will: 1. Draft code revisions to implement the recommendations developed during Phase 1. Deliverables: First draft code revisions. 2. Present and review the draft code revisions
with the advisory committee, County staff and legal counsel for the County. Deliverables: Two in-person meetings of the advisory committee and county staff, an additional two telephone
meetings with County staff and legal counsel, presentation materials, up to two sets of revisions based on feedback. Phase 3 | Adoption and Publication Phase 3 involves presentation
to the Board and revisions per the Board’s direction. During Phase 3, KKC will: 1. Compile the public hearing draft document and adopting ordinance; 2. Present the draft code to the
Board of County Commissioners; 3. Make final revisions as directed; 4. Present the final document to the Board for adoption; and 5. Deliver a final electronic document to the County.
OPTIONAL PHASE | ZoningPLUS ™ PUBLICATION Kendig Keast Collaborative is the creator of ZoningPLUS™, an innovative and flexible online code publishing tool. With ZoningPLUS™, our clients
enjoy graphics-rich presentation of their codes on the Internet, with intuitive search and browse functions. KKC would be pleased to work with the County to create a scope of work for
publishing the County’s new code in ZoningPLUS™. We invite the County to view Centennial, Colorado’s code at: http://www.zoningplus.com/regs/centennial Collaborative drafting is easy
in ZoningPlus because all authors have access to the same document at the same time. Authors can track changes with colored strike and underline, or simply track updates using convenient
reporting features. ZoningPlus makes it easy to solicit public comments via the web, and ensures accountability by tracking the team’s responses. Navigating a published code is intuitive,

three years. SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE Comprehensive Plan Update; Carbondale, Colorado Community Outreach – as a local sub consultant, Leslie coordinates community meetings linking
with special interests groups, elected officials and Town staff to ensure their perspectives are part of the Update process. Because the consultant team is outside of the region, Leslie
provides valuable feedback to the team on issues and concerns “heard on the street” so the team can strategically respond. Roaring Fork Transportation Authority Facilitator – Leslie
facilitated the annual RFTA Board retreat which included interviews of key staff and every Board member and alternate Board member to prepare the retreat agenda. Aspen Glen; Carbondale,

goals and the land use code. Town Hall Facilitation; Town of Snowmass Village, Colorado Facilitator – working with Town staff Leslie directed a Town Council appointed sub-committee through
a consensus based process to select a new location for Town Hall. The sub-committee was charged with making a recommendation to the Council on a preferred site in an extremely short
time-frame. The sub-committee successfully completed their task on-time.
Burlingame Ranch Affordable Housing Project; Aspen Colorado Entitlement Process – Leslie is a member of the design team that won the design competition to design/build a 236 unit affordable
housing development. Specifically, Leslie created the land use application submittal and steered the application through the City of Aspen land use review process. Obermeyer Place Infill
Project; Aspen, Colorado Project Manager -Obermeyer selected Otak’s planning and urban design team to facilitate the exciting opportunity to redevelop an industrial/service/commercial
district on the edge of Aspen’s commercial core. Leslie organized a public/private partnership with the City of Aspen and the Obermeyer Team in the course of developing the proposal.
Responsibilities include creation of a public process that engaged a citizen’s Task Force to create a development from the “ground up.” Granby Downtown Enhancement Plan; Granby, Colorado
Planner – the Town of Granby hired Otak to prepare a Downtown Enhancement Plan. The Plan recommended physical and visual improvements as well as business support strategies for the main
street corridor. Leslie coordinated and conducted a series of meetings designed to gather public input for the Plan and solicit reactions to various design concepts for the downtown.
Leslie drafted significant sections of the Plan as well as participated in a review of the draft with Town staff and elected officials. Aspen Area Community Plan; Aspen, Colorado As
a member of the City of Aspen Community Development Department, Leslie worked on the production of the Aspen Area Community Plan for the City and surrounding Pitkin County. Leslie facilitated
a Housing Committee that developed new guidelines for affordable housing and identified potential locations for development. Seven years later as a County Commissioner, Leslie was a
member of an oversight committee that worked with staff and interested citizens to update the Aspen Area Community Plan. EDUCATION Masters of Regional Planning Bachelor of Arts in Geography
