EXHIBIT 1. HNTB'S SERVICES
PART I: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES
Step 1, "Community Outreach", and Step 2, "Planning Conditions and Influences
Inventory", have been completed under a previous contract. The steps outlined as follows
will complete the development of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Step 3: Concept Plan Alternatives
Step 3 will involve the preparation and testing of alternative plans and policies. This
will include alternative concept plans for future land-use, transportation, image and
appearance and community facilities.
Task A: Planning Goals and Objectives and Community Indicators
Preliminary goals and objectives have already been prepared for local review. The
consultant will assist in a meeting of the Steering Committee to review the draft
goals and objectives. Further, building upon the Community Indicators identified
below, this task will identify preliminary measurable "targets" the community may
strive for in the future.
The use of "community indicators" in broad based land-use planning efforts has
become popular in recent years. The technical data analysis establishes a basis for
"measuring" community change toward planning objectives over time. The basic
approach utilizes demographic and market data to identify trends and patterns and
then sets "targets" for those seen to be important measures by the community
Topic areas which would be measured include:
Culture Government
Community Design Health
Economic Infrastructure
Education Transportation
Environment Public Safety
In the years following the adoption of the plan, the City can "re-test"the indicators to
determine its progress in implementation, and the effectiveness of Plan strategies.
Relevant indicators areas will be identified in this step. "Targets" will be prepared in
the next step of w
Task B: Prepare Alternative Community-Wide Plans
This step will entail the preparation of preliminary community-wide plans for land
use, transportation and community facilities. To prepare the community-wide plan,
the Consulting team will first conduct a workshop session with the Advisory
Committee to gain insight and understanding on community perceptions and ideas
on how to meet community needs. Following the workshop, the preliminary
community-wide planning concept will be prepared encompassing the major
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 8 of 26 Pages
components of the Comprehensive Plan: (1) the location and arrangement of land
uses; (2) the street system and other transportation facilities; (3) community
facilities and (4) community design. Plan maps and supporting text would be
prepared for each component. Alternatives will address:
Preliminary Future Land-Use Classification System — which will identify and
describe the range and type of future land-use areas intended to be used in the
new Plan.
Land-use and Development Alternatives -- The Consulting Team will prepare
planning and design alternatives for Advisory Committee and community critique
and evaluation. These will address the location and arrangement of land-uses,
residential densities, business and employment areas, open space/natural features,
and other land-use features.
Subarea Plans - will be prepared for key planning subareas of the City. Subarea
plans will provide more detailed preliminary recommendations for land-use,
transportation, community facilities and design. While the development of subarea
plans would consider their relationship to the community as a whole, they will permit
the City to consider the unique aspects of each. Up to 5 subarea plans will be
prepared, as agreed upon between the City and Consultant. Preliminary identified
subareas include: 1) Dundee Road; 2) N. IL Route 31; 3) Route 19 mixed use area;
4) the IL Route 20 Shales area; and 5)Villa Street.
Preliminary recommendations will be prepared for improvement, redevelopment or
conservation within key planning subareas of the City. For example, these might
include:
• The kind of environment the City desires to create within each area.
• The mix of uses to be promoted.
• Properties to be retained, properties to be improved and upgraded, and sites for
redevelopment and/or new construction.
• The regulatory implications required to carry out plan recommendations.
• Subarea plans will seek to identify specific projects that should be undertaken,
as well as the relative priority of improvement projects.
Special Far West Subarea Plan A special subarea plan will be prepared for the far
western portion of the community which deals with its unique needs, as described
below.
Elgin's Growth — How Far West?The limits of the western planning area currently
extend to Muirhead Road. However, the City has the capacity in its water and
wastewater treatment systems to extend as far west as Route 47. In connection
with neighborhood design concepts, this task will consider the following issues:
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 9 of 26 Pages
1 1
• Define two to three alternatives for growth in the western area
• Define the critical factors, issues, and/or risks associated with growth, or limited
growth.
• Identify needs or issues associated with implementation alternatives such as
planning area control, or facilities improvements.
• Discuss alternative approaches with representatives of Kane County.
• Summarize implications of each alternative.
Neighborhoods and Development The development and maintenance of
neighborhoods are an important aspect of community life in Elgin. This task will
prepare concepts of how neighborhoods could be organized in the Far Western
Planning Area, and what features or factors may be important to establishing
neighborhood environments.
Continuing a Tradition of Neighborhoods Neighborhoods are one of the most
important assets of the Elgin community. Strategies to encourage and ensure
successful neighborhood formation should be an important part of the new
Plan. Current plans refer to these issues, but do not define what elements
should be part of each neighborhood. This step will explore basic
neighborhood design characteristics that can facilitate the concept of
"neighborhood" and connectivity to the Elgin community as a whole.
Mixed-Use Development Concepts As part of neighborhood design, the Plan
will need to address the scale and design considerations of new development
to ensure it projects the City's aspirations for community design. Several
mixed-use prototypes will be developed which illustrate the ways in which uses
can be organized and arranged to create neighborhood centers.
Residential Development Concepts The current Far West Plan Design and
Development Guidelines provide guidance on a number of design, fiscal and
financial aspects for the Far West Area. While many of these criteria are useful
and should be brought forward in the new Plan, they do not address issues
associated with the locations of multiple family residential development, and
other issues related to building bulk. This step will explore residential design
concepts which facilitate neighborhood development as well as ties to the Elgin
of both old and new.
Natural Resources Alternative tools and techniques for incorporating open space
within the Plan will be developed. Many resources exist in the area which can
provide open space corridor links among development subareas. Whether these
should consist of passive open spaces or trails as part of the larger system should
receive more attention. Priority conservation locations should also be identified. The
extent of"compatible" improvements with natural resources will also be considered.
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 10 of 26 Pages
Other Design and Improvement Considerations
Traditional Building Design Materials. As part of the visual preference survey,
the display of various materials were presented with stone and brick being the
preferred materials. One way to do this may be to identify common building
elements within the existing community and offer development incentives for
their incorporation into residential house design. For example, style sheets
representing some of the more common design elements found within the
historic areas of the community could be incorporated into the Design
Guidelines to offer developers and builders ideas on what features might be
appropriate for new housing and possible commercial design.
Street Patterns The current Far West Plan proposes a thoroughfare system
based on a traditional street pattern. Many of the existing roads in the area run
on a northwest to southeast alignment. The concepts will explore the alternative
ways in which the street system can be designed to serve as one of the
"seams" linking the eastern and western portions of the City.
Smart Growth Principles The consulting team will consider the applicability of Smart
Growth Principles as a basis for development and improvement recommendations.
Drawing upon experiences in other assignments, the consulting team will identify
principles and practices which are consistent with and support community
participation in the planning process to date.
Intergovernmental Technical Meetings City staff and the consulting team will
conduct two meetings to discuss the implications of the concepts in terms of
management techniques, facilities impacts or other considerations. The purpose of
these meetings is to examine the intergovernmental control aspects of change. For
instance, it will be important have dialogue with Kane County on the relationships of
the proposed concepts to the County Plan. Further, the City has notification
requirements under its Boundary Agreement with Sleepy Hollow to notify the Village
of any amendments to its 1983 Comprehensive Plan. It is intended any technical
issues would be resolved in these meetings.
Community Area Design "Prototypes" — Because the character of the
community changes widely throughout the planning area, the basic design of public
and private improvements should be explored. Utilizing existing documented
conditions and "thematic characteristics" identified in earlier work in the process, the
consulting team will prepare prototype design recommendations for various
community areas including residential, business and industrial areas. Tentatively,
these would include: 1)commercial corridor areas; 2) neighborhood housing/street
prototypes; 3) multiple family/office transitional prototype; and 4) employment area
prototypes. The consultant will define and express a reasonable range of principles
and illustrations associated with each of these areas.
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 11 of 26 Pages
Transportation System Improvements— will consider the needs of improvement
to the existing system as well as new improvements. Elements to be explored
include:
• New street links to serve expanded development areas
• Circulation improvements
• Conceptual bicycle circulation
Community Facilities— Based on community facilities needs as determined in the
preceding steps of the process, the consultant will identify ways in which physical
facility needs can be located to support an overall concept of public space
improvements.
Product: A concise and highly graphic working paper presenting and describing the
community-wide plans, subarea plans, and community design prototypes .
Briefing Following this task, a briefing session will be held with the Advisory
Committee to review the technical results and prepare for the next Task in the
process.
Task C: Open House and Community Forum
Cl: Open House
An "Open House" will be sponsored by the Comprehensive Plan Advisory
Committee. The open house provides an informal environment for citizens less
inclined to attend or speak at public hearings to view preliminary concepts, ask
questions, and learn more about the City's intentions. The open house serves as an
information "primer"for the community forum to follow.
C2: Community Forum
A community-wide meeting would be conducted to discuss the results of the
Alternative Concept Plans. The purpose of this meeting would be to review and
discuss the preliminary concept plan and development policy recommendations,
and secure basic agreement on major planning issues. The meetings would be
structured to ensure participation by a broad cross-section of interests within the
City.
Product: Basic agreement by the Advisory Committee and community-wide
consensus on preferred plans and development policies as basic direction to
preparation of the more detailed Comprehensive Plan.
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 12 of 26 Pages
Step 4: Draft Elgin Comprehensive Plan
Based upon the results of the Alternative Plan Concepts, Step 4 will involve preparation of
the draft Comprehensive Plan.
Task A: Prepare Draft Comprehensive Plan
The Consulting Team will prepare the draft Plan document for local review. The
Plan will include planning policies and planning recommendations associated with
each plan element, and will include the sections listed below. The plan document is
intended to focus on the "operational" aspects of the planning program, and will not
include Plan background material. It will be presented in a short, concise, and "user
friendly"format. This format would facilitate ease of local amendment in the future.
The document will serve as the official plan policy guide and should be used in the
day-to-day administration of the community planning program. Again, the Plan
document will be presented in a highly graphic and concise format which, while
providing more detailed program recommendations and policies, will be "readable"
and understandable to the general public. It will include:
Introduction, which will describe: (1) the overall purpose of the planning program;
(2) the planning process undertaken by the City; and (3) the organization of the
Plan document.
Action Goals and Objectives, which will provide overall focus and direction for
planning recommendations, possibly including: (1) appearance and identity; (2)
residential areas; (3) commercial areas (perhaps separate goals and objectives for
the Downtown); (4) employment areas; (5) transportation; (6) community facilities
and services; (7) public utilities; and (8) others, as appropriate.
Land-Use and Community Design Plan, which will include recommendations for
improving and protecting existing land-use areas, compatible new development or
redevelopment in selected locations, and identify areas which are subject to
preservation or protection. It will establish a refined classification of land-uses for
the City to help guide change and improvement in the future. The Plan will also
include illustrative prototype design principles for various areas and for various
improvement projects within the City. Prototype guidelines will be emphasized in
this section, but may also appear in other elements of the Plan. Building upon work
in previous steps, this section will also utilize a "thematic" design map to illustrating
where various combinations of basic design themes would be desirable in the
community.
Subarea Plans Recommendations for subareas prepared as part of the prior step
will be carried forward into a unique section of the Plan. Exclusive and unique to the
Far West Plan, recommendation will include:
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 13 of 26 Pages
• Land-use and development recommendations
• Design and development guidelines
• Development regulations recommendations
• Administration and management policies
• Intergovernmental/organizational arrangements
While the Far West Plan will be prepared as an element of the Comprehensive
Plan, It will be written suitable to serve as a stand-alone document, should the City
choose to publish the piece independently from the complete Plan.
Mobility Plan, which will establish a hierarchy for street classification, alternative
treatment for system deficiencies, and the identification of potential transportation
improvements for the City, as appropriate. This would include: 1) general
transportation improvement projects; 2) modifications to street design standards;
and 3)conceptual bicycle and pedestrian system development.
Community Facilities and Utilities Plan, Which will include recommendations for
public buildings, parks and recreation, schools, and other community facilities. A
utilities component could address the basic water, waste water and storm water
facilities and services.
Implementation, which will describe the actions required to carry out the new Plan
for the City including recommendations regarding zoning, subdivision and other
regulations, priority improvement projects, potential funding sources,
implementation techniques, and general administration and follow-up to the Plan. It
will identify public agency and private responsibilities in Plan implementation. It will
include short- and long-range project recommendations. For all major projects and
actions to be undertaken, the implementation strategy will highlight: 1) relative
sequencing of projects, 2) action responsibilities; and 3) potential implementation
techniques.
An "Action Agenda"will be prepared which highlights the implementation aspects of
all key projects and actions to be undertaken within Elgin. It will include:
• A listing of the individual projects and actions to be undertaken;
• The prioritization and suggested timing for each proposed project will be
presented in three implementation phases;
• An indication of the public and private sector responsibilities for initiating and
implementing each project;
• Recommendations for follow-up studies and actions including subarea planning,
neighborhood planning, transportation and related facilities studies needs.
Finally, a number of existing subarea and policy plans are in existence which should
cross referenced at appropriate points in the new Comprehensive Plan. These

PART II: ELGIN'S NEW UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Step 5: Issues and Code Outline
Based on the adopted Plan program, Part II will develop Elgin's new Unified Development
Regulations.
Task A: Kick Off and Workshop
Before beginning, a unified development regulations "kick-off' meeting will be held
to inform the community on this part of the program. It would refocus the
community on the next step of the process and explain its importance in context of
the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Prior to this meeting, a "Unified Codes
Committee" could be constituted to guide the process. While we believe this
committee should include members of the Comprehensive Advisory Committee, it
should also remain flexible to this point to include other community interests in this
part of the work. Alternatively, the City could proceed in this step working
exclusively with the Elgin Plan Commission.
As part of this task, a workshop will be conducted with the Committee to identify
and discuss key regulatory issues to be addressed as part of the codes drafting
process. The consultant will lead the session. A summary of the Workshop will be
provided to the Committee following the meeting.
Products : 1) Understanding and agreement on the conduct of the project; and 2) a
written summary of the workshop results. All text products will be prepared in
Microsoft Word.
Task B: Issue Analysis and Preliminary Annotated Outline
The consultant will conduct a technical evaluation of the current development
regulations. This evaluation will consider the update needs and issues identified in
previous tasks as well as the consultants experience in preparing and
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 16 of 26 Pages
administering regulations. Topics include: 1) overall codes structure, administrative
and procedural considerations; 2) the content and organization of the major codes;
3) commentary on ordinance standards and scope; and 4)Identify code omissions.
The Consultant will meet with Staff to review and discuss approaches to key issues
to be used in the drafting process.
This Consultant will then prepare an Annotated Outline of the content and
organization of the Unified Development Regulations. Developing a preliminary
outline at this early stage will help provide focus and direction to the overall scope
of the amendments, how we anticipate they will be organized, and give the staff,
Codes Committee a clear sense of how the ideas generated as part of the Plan
can be included in the City's ordinances. The Consultant will meet with Staff to
review and discuss the Annotated Outline. Refinements will be incorporated into
the document, as appropriate.
Task E: Working Conference
The consulting team will meet with the Unified Codes Committee and community in
a working conference to present and discuss the Preliminary Annotated Outline.
Consensus by the Committee on an outline will authorize the Consulting Team to
begin preparation of the complete draft text.
Product: Agreed upon Annotated UDO Outline.
Step 6: Prepare Draft Unified Development Regulations
During this step, the complete draft Unified Development Regulations will be prepared.
Task A: Draft Unified Development Regulations
Task Al: Unified Development Ordinance Text
Based on the guidance and direction of the Unified Codes Committee as a result of
Step 5 work, this task will prepare the complete draft Development Regulations
text. Given the complexity of this task, it is recommended the Consulting Team
develop the entire text in association with City staff. Key elements of the City's
code of ordinances which will require careful review and update include: the zoning
regulations, subdivisions, streets, sidewalks, landscaping/screening, definitions,
site plan review, planned developments, overlay zoning districts and tables and
graphics. Other code elements will require a cursory review for formatting and
referencing in the new code.
The exercise will include regular reports and updates with the Unified Codes
Committee to provide a status report of the work and to elicit input on issues which
may arise during the process. We anticipate 3 update meetings with the City during
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 17 of 26 Pages
this effort.
Task A2: Preliminary Zoning Map
A Preliminary Zoning Map will be prepared in combination with Task Al above.
This map will be prepared in sufficient detail to understand the types of areas and
locations where the map amendments might occur. It will also include any new
mapping components such as any new zoning district(s).
Products : These will include: 1) a complete, integrated draft of the proposed
Unified Development Regulations; and 2) a preliminary zoning map. All text
products will be prepared in Microsoft Word.
Task B: Working Conferences
Following assembly of the complete draft regulations, the consultant will present
and review the text over two to three meetings with the Unified Codes Committee.
Changes will be incorporated by the consultant into the Final Draft.
Product. Copy of the Final Draft of the Unified Development Regulations.
Step 7:Adopt the Unified Development Regulations
The primary purpose of this phase is to secure Plan Commission and City Council
approval of the draft regulations through a public participation and hearing process.
Task A: Committee/Community Workshops
In this task, the Unified Codes Committee (or Plan Commission) will conduct up to
2 community workshops to present the draft amendments and seek public input
and comment. The purpose of the meetings are to explain to the community the
Committee's work and consider any refinements to the draft prior to public hearing.
The workshops should help to build support for the final regulations to be
presented as part of the public hearing process. Alternatively, these "workshops"
could be held as open houses, or as additional working meetings of the Committee
as deemed appropriate.
The meetings will be conducted by the Consulting Team with the participation of
the Unified Codes Committee and the Plan Commission. Based on the results of
the meetings, and the direction of the Committee (or Commission), the final Public
Hearing Draft of the regulations and map will be prepared.
Product: Refined regulations to be proposed for adoption.
Task B: Public Hearing and Adoption
City of Elgin
Professional Services Agreement
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations Page 18 of 26 Pages
The draft amendments will be presented at a community-wide public hearing to be
conducted by the Plan Commission. The consultant will help organize the hearing
process and will attend the public hearing (up to two meetings). The City will be
responsible for the costs of all notices required under law.
Following the public hearing process, the draft, together with any changes or
modifications resulting from the hearings, will be presented for adoption by the City
Council.

City with camera-ready copy and a computer disk of the text formatted for
Microsoft Word.
Product: Complete camera ready copy of the adopted Unified Development
Regulations Text and Zoning Map. The consultant will provide the City with 12
spirally bound copies of the final plan document and one unbound original suitable
for reproduction and distribution.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council ECONOMIC GROWTH
FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Professional Services Agreement
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information to consider entering into a
new agreement with HNTB, Inc . for professional services to prepare
a Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
In June 2000 , the City entered into a contract with TPAP, Inc . to
assist in the preparation of the City' s Comprehensive Plan and
Unified Development Ordinances . As a part of the contract, TPAP was
to assign Phil Hanegraaf as the project manager for the Elgin
contract . The contract further states that if for any reason Mr.
Hanegraaf were to leave the firm, the City would have the option of
terminating the contract with TPAP.
We recently learned that Mr. Hanegraaf has changed employers, and
now will be working with HNTB, Inc . , a nationally recognized land
use and transportation planning firm with offices in Chicago. Given
this change, staff and Bob Siljestrom, Chairman of the Advisory
Committee, have met to discuss whether the City should continue its
contractual relationship with TPAP or to terminate the contract and
enter into a new one with HNTB and Mr Hanegraaf . To assist in
formulating a recommendation, staff and Mr. Siljestrom performed
two interviews, one with those who would now be assigned as project
managers with the existing firm (TPAP) , and one with Mr. Hanaegraaf
and his support staff as potential project managers with the new
firm (HNTB) .
Comprehensive Plan Professional Services Agreement

Through this effort, staff is recommending that it would be in the
City' s best interest to terminate its contract with TPAP and enter
into a new one with HNTB (TPAP has been informed of this
recommendation and understands the City' s reasoning) . Staff and
the Advisory Committee have enjoyed the working relationship with
Mr. Hanegraaf and have been satisfied with the quality and quantity
of work performed to date . Also, staff finds that HNTB and Mr.
Hanaegraff would bring:
1 . Continuity to the process,
2 . Overall knowledge of the issues Elgin faces in the area of
growth management, and
3 . Expertise and depth of resources as well as HNTB' s national
background and reputation.
