This approach and the accompanying scope of services is based on our past discussions and the ini- tial scope of services provided by Dublin planning staff. The work is divided into the two primary components; Natural Features/ Open Space and Character, with the specific method and product(s) for each defined. INTRODUCTION: The project purpose is to identify the elements and systems significant to open space and character in Dublin; both the natural features and the cultural features which contribute to the sense of place and quality which Dublin wishes to preserve and enhance. The project outcome is a data base of the salient features, elements and systems which define and establish Dublin's image and quality of environment. From the findings and conclusions drawn from this data base, a growth statement may be developed, with guidelines and priorities for preservation and development. SCOPE: The Services to be performed: Item A. Natural Features/Open Space A. 1 Process: The initial work identifies the structure and components of the existing open space network, opportunities for future open space and linkages critical to quality open space development. By composite mapping the primary natural spatial determinants (topography, vegetation, hydrology and slope/aspect) a suitability map for open space is developed. The suitability map establishes the framework for the development of the Schematic Open Space System. (f) LANDSC;\P[ ARCHITECTURF . f' I ,\ r-..! N I N C . DESICN Data files and maps of the natural features and contributing geology, soils, and cultural elements are used to establish potential linkages, value for recreation and compa- tibility with other land uses and signifi- cance in the development of Dublin's quality and character. During the suitability mapping process, the data base and preliminary findings will be reviewed with the various state and local planning service agencies (ODNR, MORPC, OHS) to supplement information and to verify data obtained. This is done in conjunction with and coordinated by Dublin Planning Staff. A.2 Product: The product of the Natural Features/Open Space Component is a Schematic Open Space Plan, suitable for incorporation into the Master Plan document to be compiled from all consultants work. The plan is sup- plemented by text, with the growth statement and guidelines for implementation included. Residual products of the work are the data base files, working maps and composite studies. These are compiled in a bound (or ring binder) format and provided to Dublin for future use. Format and organization to be coordinated with Dublin Planning staff so that related consultant work can be readily accessible to all. A.3 Administration: The work is to be developed per the schedule established during the May 8 , 1987 consultants conference, provided that related information and consultant reviews are completed in a timely fashion. Item B. Character B. 1 Process: The initial work identifies contributing character elements at various levels of significance to Dublin: elements regionally unique, elements locally unique, components characteristic of neighborhoods and community, and elements significant due to location or spatial adjacency. Also identified and mapped are the cultural features contributing to the character and sense of place in Dublin 2 of 4 . both existing and ephemeral... the sense of past and future connections which give a permanance and continuity to a community. A third component of the Character data base identifies critical views, gateways and visual linkages within Dublin as well as landmark elements. These will be generated by field reconnaisance, and assessment of the composite maps developed in Item A. As in Item A. data files and maps of the natural features and contributing geology, soils, and cultural elements are used to establish potential and desirable linkages, value for recreation and compatibility with other land uses in the development of Dublin's visual quality and Character. During the Character study process, the data base and preliminary findings will be reviewed with the Dublin Planning staff and agencies contributing data or expertise. (Ohio Historical Society, ODNR, Nature Con- servancy etc). B.2 Product: The product of the Character Study Component is a Plan locating key features and elements as well as character sketches, as needed, to communicate the visual qualities, materials, textures and views available and intrinsic to Dublin's quality environment. Residual products of the work are the data base files, working maps and composite studies. These are compiled in a bound (or ring binder) format and provided to Dublin for future use. Format and organization to be coordinated with Dublin Planning staff so that related consultant work can be readily accessible to all. (Photographic records are retained by Georg Group, Inc. with duplicates of key photographs available at cost). B.3 Administration: The work is to be developed per the schedule established during the May 8, 1987 consultants conference, provided that related information and consultant reviews are completed In a timely fashion. 3 of 4 ... Base Map Dublin will provide the roadway and property base map for the Village, with all other data developed from publically available sources. (MORPC, ODOT, Soil Conservation service etc.) as part of this work.
