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.

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.

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 PracticeKKC’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.

Philosophy & approach

PROBLeM sOLvinG 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 siMPle 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.

SUMMARY

Leslie Lamont has been doing general land use planning work throughout

the Roaring Fork Valley for the last 17 years. She began her own planning

consulting service in 2003. Prior to starting her own firm Leslie was a

principal planner for Otak, Inc. for two years. Before Otak, Leslie was a

County Commissioner for Pitkin County. For five years Leslie played a key

role in policy and budget decisions for the County. Before her election to the

Board of County Commissioners, Leslie was a project planner for six years as

well as Deputy Director of Community Development for the City of Aspen

and a caseload planner for the Boston Redevelopment Authority for 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, Colorado

Design Review Administrator – Leslie manages the DRC process to ensure

that potential applicants construct a home that is consistent with the Design

Guidelines. Leslie works with a 5 member design committee and facilitates

development plan review between the committee and applicant and assures

that construction complies with approved plans.

Aspen Valley Hospital Master Facilities Plan; Aspen Colorado

Planning and Entitlement Process - Leslie, as a member of the

design/development team, prepared the land use application for the Planned

Unit Development conceptual and final land use review process. Leslie

worked closely with the team and hospital staff to ensure that the Master

Facilities Plan was consistent with community 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.
