The City Council <br />directed staff to consider options for improving the Hodgson Road /County Road J <br />intersection area. Staff has asked Landform, a firm with a broad range of abilities in <br />planning and design, engineering and architecture, to begin working on a master plan of <br />the County Road J/Hodgson Road area. The city has worked with Carolyn Krall of <br />Landform in the past on the downtown development. <br />The developers of the "Benchmark" site on 35E also hired Landform to develop an action <br />plan and lead the public visioning process for master planning that site. Because <br />Landform group has a good reputation and staff has been pleased with its past work with <br />the city, staff considers this an excellent choice for leading that project. However, staff <br />wishes to inform the Council and receive input to ensure members are comfortable with <br />this firm working on behalf of the city on one project and on behalf of the developer on <br />the other. <br />• <br />
