Our <br />firm understands the importance of these types of <br />facilities, as they are critical contributors to the vitality <br />of the community. We are a full-service architectural <br />firm, which looks at the design as being individual to <br />each communities identity and not a “one-size fits all” <br />scenario. Our process places emphasis on collaboration <br />and developing innovative methods of connecting the <br />facility and the various activities the Youth and Amateur <br />Sports Complex offers to further enrich the City of <br />Mounds View now and into the future. <br />Over the last 30 years, community facilities have been a <br />cornerstone of our firm’s portfolio. From our experience <br />we have established a comprehensive approach that will <br />aim to engage the City in creating innovative solutions <br />in designing an expanded Youth and Amateur Sports <br />Complex to best meet your needs and strengthen the <br />services to the community through the following: <br /> <br />• Planning process involving and coordinating <br />with the City Council, staff, stakeholders, and <br />the community to determine the opportunities <br />and deficiencies and how these can best be <br />addressed in planning. <br />• Making the best use of the site, addressing <br />parking, stormwater, and overall function of <br />events for the facility on-site. <br />• Maximizing building utilization with careful <br />consideration of Sports Complexes, the existing <br />building, and the programs unique complexities <br />to enhance operating efficiencies. <br />• Design quality is an important element <br />for long-term use and value. We look at <br />low maintenance, efficient, and functional <br />facilities that are also a point of pride for your <br />community. <br />• Cost estimating by Kraus-Anderson is critical <br />to determining priorities and the feasibility of <br />changes; our team includes the right partner for <br />this. <br />• Sustainable Design that provides long-term <br />value and enhances the building’s functions and <br />provides operational cost savings. <br />The Kodet Team understands the significance of <br />community infrastructure like this. We will work <br />collaboratively with the City of Mounds View to develop <br />a vision that fits your community and sets you up for the <br />funding success required to get this project constructed. <br />Our firm appreciates the opportunity to present our <br />design team in person to discuss on how to achieve your <br />long-range objectives and vision. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Kodet, AIA, NOMA, CID <br />President and CEO <br />Kodet Architectural Group, Ltd. <br />d: 612-381-2101 <br />e: dkodet@kodet.com <br />Dear Mr. Zikmund: <br />▶ Cover Letter
