July 1, 1996 (Name of Company) (Individual at Company) (Street Address) (City, State, Zip) RE: Request for Proposal for Comprehensive Plan, City of St. Anthony Dear (Individual): The City of St. Anthony invites you to submit a proposal for assisting the City in developing a Comprehensive Plan. The current approved Comprehensive Plan was completed in 1979. CONTENT The City of St. Anthony is a first-ring suburb which is both in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. Essentially, the City is at build-out, with a completed water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure. The issues the City wishes the selected firm to focus on include: 1. Residential Redevelopment: Residential structures were largely completed in the 1950's and 1960's, and many will be in need of redevelopment in the near future. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the City is in the midst of a significant residential turnover, with housing being sold by "empty-nesters" to young families. We feel the need for hard demographic evidence to identify any trends, as well as recommendations regarding the City's response to whatever the residential demographics show. All such work will need to be compatible with the City's Liveable Communities Action Plan, currently being developed by the City under the requirements of the Metropolitan Council. 2. Commercial/Industrial Redevelopment: The commercial and industrial areas of the City have been developed since the 1960's, and will be in need of redevelopment soon. We request that this need be examined and recommendations made as to appropriate planning on behalf of the City. 3. Land Use/Zonings The existing Comprehensive Plan recommended a number of_land use changes, which have largely been implemented. We wish assistance in identifying current land use incompatibilities and future land use issues which the City can facilitate through land use planning and/or zoning changes. 4. Emeraina and Other Issues: The City wishes an analysis and resultant advice from a planning firm regarding emerging municipal land use planning including, but not necessarily limited to, telecommunications and access to public right-of-ways.
