Lake Elmo Planning Services <br />November 4, 2024 <br /> <br />land use applications from the simple to the very complex including subdivisions, PUD’s, ordinance <br />amendments, and Comprehensive Plan updates. Based on our experience providing planning services, we <br />recommend a regularly scheduled weekly meeting to stay in communication. This will ensure issues are <br />addressed, and we are working as a team and aware of changing issues and deadlines. We have <br />established a team that can be flexible as the city needs evolve. <br /> <br />• Jenni Faulkner will serve as project manager and provide direct planning services as needed. <br />Jenni will provide oversight of the development review process and general project support. <br />Jenni can continue to work on the projects she has been involved with for continuity. <br />• Nathan Fuerst will be your primary city planner and provide development review and general <br />project support. Nathan will meet with applicants, review land-use applications, prepare staff <br />reports and make presentations to the Planning Commission. He will be available for Tuesday <br />afternoon office hours, attend in-person Development Review Meetings, and be available during <br />the workday remotely or in person for meetings as needed. Nathan is available to attend the <br />Planning Commission and City Council meetings. <br />• TJ Hofer will also be available on an as needed basis. TJ is available to assist with items behind <br />the scenes. TJ is a planner that served as an intern for the city a few years ago. <br /> <br />AUAR/EIS/EAW/Other Projects <br />These projects are specialized and usually have a specific timeframe for completion. Examples of these <br />projects include environmental reviews, master plans, small area studies, complete zoning ordinance <br />rewrites or other special planning studies. We will work with the city to define a scope of services and <br />budget, as they come up. <br />Fee Estimate <br />2024 Rates for our key personnel are as follows: <br /> <br />Employee Hourly Rate <br />Jenni Faulkner, Senior <br />Planner/Project Manager <br />$199 per hour <br />Nathan Fuerst, Senior Planner $165 per hour <br />TJ Hofer, Planner II $146 per hour <br /> <br />Note that 2025 rates will apply. Those rates will be published in December 2025. We anticipate a <br />modest increase to cover inflationary costs increases. <br /> <br />We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and are confident we will successfully assist the City in <br />its planning needs. Please contact me at 612-378-2634 or jenni.faulkner@bolton-menk.com you have any <br />questions regarding our proposal. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br /> <br />Jenni Faulkner <br />Senior Planner/Project Manager
