04 I Approach/Methodology Firms Approach/Methodology We have a proven approach to parks planning and design, based on our 30+ years of experience on hundreds of park projects similar to the Intracoastal Parks. Known as our "5D" approach, it assures our clients that we will develop thoughtful, creative design solutions "grounded" in community needs and context. The basic steps of our "5D" approach includes Desire, Discovery, Design, Discussion, and Documentation. .... ,.... .. .. , , , , , , I Desire During this first phase of the process, we will conduct a Kick-off Meeting with City staff, advisory committee/ steering committee members and/or other key stakeholders (as determined by the City) in order to establish expectations for the project. Typical review topics includes scope of work, project schedule, lines of communications, public involvement, review and approval process, project development program, construction budget, permitting and bidding process and construction delivery method.

Green sodded lawn spaces . Concrete paver walks . Screen wall along western boundary . Play structures Should the City wish to further verify the community's specific desires for the Intracoastal Parks, then we may recommend one or more of our typical public involvement techniques such as stakeholder interviews (elected officials, staff, recreation providers, residents, community leaders, others); visioning workshop; public open houses; Advisory Board/Steering Committee workshop or others. The outcome from the "Desire" phase will be a Development Program for the site, describing the proposed uses and facilities, approved by the City Council.
