MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: July 16, 2010
RE: Oak Park Heights — Energy Efficiency and Conservation Grant
TPC FILE: 236.06 —10.01
As per your request, I have prepared a scope of planning services and budget for the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant project for the City of Oak Park
Heights. The following provides a general outline of the tasks to be completed and a
general budget. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting on August 12, 2010, a more
complete and detailed work program will be created for your review.
Scope of Services
Comprehensive Plan:
Review and update the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to include policy statements, plans
and action strategies to promote energy efficiency, transportation efficiency and the
conservation of energy by the City, its residents, institutions and businesses. Any
existing plans or policies that in restrict energy conservation will be identified and
addressed.
Zoning Ordinance /Design Standards:
The Zoning Ordinance will be reviewed and updated to enact the policy and plans of the
Comprehensive Plan as it relates to energy efficiency and conservation. The Ordinance
will address provisions that will encourage alternative energy systems that have a
positive impact on energy production and conservation while not having an adverse
impact on the community. Existing Zoning provisions that restrict energy efficiency and
conservation will be reviewed and revised. Although, the new Design Standards
address sustainability, they will be reviewed and updated to • address in more detail
energy efficiency and conservation.
