EXHIBIT A
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
PHASE 1: BASE INFORMATION, MONTHS 1 TO 3
1.1 Internal Project Kick-off Call
At the start of the project, the DKP Team will schedule a phone call with the Village of North Palm Beach
to review base information needs, identify key stakeholders, strategize on the two public design
workshops, and develop a detailed schedule for the creation of the Land Development Code.
1.2 Review of Previous Plans and Studies
The DKP Team will review existing local planning efforts, including The Village of North Palm Beach
Citizens Master Plan Report, and use it as a guide and inform the code update process. The DKP Team
will review other pertinent regulations and studies, as well as federal, state, and local requirements.
1.3 Urban Analysis and Creation of Base Maps
The DKP Team will become familiar with the physical details of the Village and the historic patterns or
urbanism and architecture of the surrounding region. The Team will collect and analyze data from
multiples resources in order to take an in-depth look at the Village, particularly the five geographic areas
identified in the master plan using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to perform much of the
analysis. DKP will create key analysis maps during the code update process related to land use, zoning,
and environmental conditions. DKP will create a base map/series of base maps to be used for planning
discussions for each geographic area throughout the workshops. The five areas are along US 1: north of
Parker Bridge (Crystal Tree Plaza area); south of Parker Bridge (marina and Camelot Inn area); Country
Club to Lighthouse Dr.; Lighthouse Dr. to Anchorage Dr. South; the southwest quadrant of US 1 and
Northlake Boulevard and also Northlake Boulevard and selected locations on Alternate A1A and
Prosperity Farms Road.
1.4 Village of North Palm Beach Communications
The DKP Team will create a project website and provide photographs, maps, renderings, and other
project updates, as well as content for the creation of flyers, mailers and press releases. The distribution
of materials (mailings, emails, social media) shall be the responsibility of the Village. The Village shall
market the effort through the residential and business community to ensure appropriate input and
participation in the project. Given the complexity of the project, the Client may contact any member of
the DKP Team at any time to discuss the project as needed. Regular conference calls and virtual
meetings are expected.
PHASE 2: CODE WORKSHOP ONE: INPUT GATHERING, MONTHS 3 TO 4
Village of North Palm Beach, FL
Land Development Code Agreement
Page 2 of 8
The Code Workshop phases are centered around two, two-day Code Workshops held on-site in North
Palm Beach: Code Workshop One: Input Gathering (Task 2.1) and Code Workshop Two: Pin -Up of Draft
Code (Task 4.1).
This intense, comprehensive method of public involvement will allow stakeholders to come together
and seek consensus over the form and extent of redevelopment in North Palm Beach. The Code
Workshops offer the opportunity to interact with differing perspectives and allow issues to be quickly
identified and resolved.
2.1 Code Workshop One: Input Gathering
On a mutually agreeable date, the team will travel to North Palm Beach to conduct a two-day work
session on-site with the community. The workshop will likely include the following components:
2.1.1 Site Tour
In the morning of day one of Public Workshop One, the DKP Team will tour the designated areas
with Village Staff or with community representatives acting informally as tour guides to the
geographic areas they are most concerned with. Issues and opportunities will be discussed during the
tour which is expected to last up to three hours. Citizen participants become "ambassadors" to the
Code Update, they help get the word out about the project, they will gain the knowledge to
participate intelligently in an informal citizen "Think Tank," and they can help insure inclusive and
meaningful participation from people who are new to local governance or typically underrepresented
in the public process.
2.1.2 Evening Community Involvement Session
In the evening of day one of Public Workshop One, Dover -Kohl will lead a Community Involvement
Session. The event will begin with a "food for thought" presentation to educate participants on best
practices in traditional urban design, livable transportation, sustainability, preserving community
character, and coding. Following the presentation, the team will work with the community on an
interactive exercise to educate the residents and stakeholders, help participants to articulate local
goals for the project, and forge a community consensus.
2.1.3 Technical Meetings and Stakeholder Meetings
On day two of Public Workshop One, the team will lead meetings with government agencies and local
experts in order to gain technical feedback on important issues. Meetings will be also held with key
stakeholders such as the "Think Tank," civic leaders, property owners, outside agencies, developers,
and neighborhood groups. Up to six, 45 -minute meetings, with at least 15 -minute breaks between
the meetings, are possible.
PHASE 3: CREATION OF DRAFT CODE, MONTHS 4 TO 7
The Consultant will draft the new code utilizing Master Plan principals, sustainability practices,
innovative techniques and design, market directives and emerging trends (i.e., complete streets, road
Village of North Palm Beach, FL
Land Development Code Agreement
Page 3 of 8
diets, autonomous vehicles), energy efficiency provisions, and incentives. The revised and updated Code
is intended to promote Smart Growth and New Urbanist concepts for mixed-use, sustainable, and
walkable redevelopment.
The Code will be written in a form that is comprehensive, straight -forward, easily understood, and
illustrated with the extensive use of graphics to make it easy for the public and staff to interpret and
use. Inconsistencies with the existing code will be resolved. The Code will be consistent with state
statues and the Village's Comprehensive Plan and be responsive to current trends in planning practice
and market conditions that will help to further smart growth and desirable redevelopment in the Village
of North Palm Beach.
3.1 Preparation of Draft Code
The draft code document will be structured in such a manner that it will be easily expanded and
amended in the future to respond to changing market and socio-economic conditions. The Code will
address each geographic area using techniques appropriate to the area's characteristics (single
ownership vs. multiple ownership; suitable lot sizes vs. tracts that should be subdivided into smaller
blocks; whether redevelopment needs to be coordinated with public improvements; etc.).
Appropriate code components will be selected from the following typical components:
a. Overview including definitions, principles, and intent; and explanation of the regulations and
process in clear user-friendly language;
b. Regulating Plan(s) (a schematic representation derived from the master planning process)
typically illustrating the location of street, blocks, public spaces and other special features. The
regulating plan typically references aspects of Building Form Standards such as "build -to -lines"
or "required building lines" and building types or form designations;
c. Building Form or Building Type Standards governing basic building form, placement, height, and
other fundamental urban elements to ensure that all buildings complement neighboring
structures and the street, be based upon the study of building types appropriate for the area,
emphasizing neighborhood vitality and community character;
d. Civic/Public Space Standards defining the types of spaces appropriate for their location and
promoting high quality civics spaces within walking distances of residences and workplaces.
These standards may include design specifications for active open spaces such as plazas,
greenspaces (parks or passive spaces), public art, trees, and landscaping standards that define
the plantings required to create high-quality environments, provide shade, and help meet
stormwater demands;
e. Street Standards defining design attributes and geometries that balance the needs of motorists,
pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders while promoting a vital public realm. These standards
Village of North Palm Beach, FL
Land Development Code Agreement
Page 4 of 8
typically include design specifications for sidewalks, the number and widths of travel lanes,
multimodal transportation areas, parking, curb geometry, street furniture, trees and
landscaping, and lighting;
f. Design Guidelines that capture the Village character and the elements in the Master Plan Report
including exterior materials and quality;
g. Parking Standards that promote walkability and the use of alternative transportation, while
providing the minimum needs for development and commerce in an appropriate context with
the surrounding building and streetscape;
h. Appropriate land use restrictions/qualifications where warranted to ensure compatibility and
public safety/health; and
i. Other sections as may be needed to complete the new code in alignment with the Village's
Master Plan Report and the additional planning conducted during the coding process.
3.2 Integration of Draft Code
The DKP Team will draft the code so that it can be easily integrated into the Village's existing
regulatory framework in a manner that ensures procedural consistency, meshes with state and local
legal requirements, provides clarity as to applicability of existing regulations, and maximizes the
effectiveness of the code. The DKP team will coordinate its work with the planning firm creating the
ULDC so that the final code will seamlessly integrate all work that is underway.
PHASE 4: CODE WORKSHOP TWO: PIN-UP OF DRAFT CODE, MONTHS 7 TO 9
The Consultant will discuss key aspects of the code with the public as part of a two-day workshop.
4.1 Code Workshop Two: Pin -Up of Draft Code
On a mutually agreeable date, the team will travel to North Palm Beach to conduct the second two-day
work session on-site with the community. The workshop will likely include the following components:
4.1.1 Public Open House
The DKP Team will host a two-day public open house to discuss the code. Day One will involve a
presentation of the code and display of key elements. The team will also display three plans and
illustrations which depict how the code will "grow" various place -types over time compared to the
existing regulations. The display materials created for the Open House may be used by the Village to
continue to the conversation and continue to receive input. All materials available during the Open
House will be posted to the website.

4.1.2 Technical Meetings and Stakeholder Meetings
The team is available to meet, as needed, with key stakeholders such as civic leaders, property
owners, outside agencies, developers, and neighborhood groups. Up to three, 45 -minute meetings,
with at least 15 -minute breaks between the meetings, are possible.
PHASE 5: PREPARATION OF FINAL CODE: MONTHS 9 TO 11
