When we became aware <strong>of</strong> the Request for Proposals that youput forth, and after reviewing the scope <strong>of</strong> services involved, we immediately knew that our firmspossess the experience, the key personnel and, indeed, the fortitude to assist with guiding thePlanning and Engineering Review Services for Woodmont Commons.We believe that our experience is particularly relevant to your Project.Our firm has a long history <strong>of</strong> engagement with local communities in order to address potentiallycontentious issues, and to chart a course shared among elected <strong>of</strong>ficials, developers and citizens.<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> has master planned, re-positioned and branded over 30 mixed-use communities in thepast 13 years, with a combined market value in excess <strong>of</strong> $10 billion.

To be sure, there are also the intangibles such as those that have to do with thequality <strong>of</strong> our service, and the commitment <strong>of</strong> our principals and staff. In recognition <strong>of</strong> this quality andservice, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> was fortunate to be chosen in 2008 as Firm <strong>of</strong> the Year by the American Institute<strong>of</strong> Architects’ North Carolina Chapter.We have attempted to be as clear and concise in the preparation <strong>of</strong> our Proposal, indeed as the RFPstipulates, and trust that we have included all pertinent information.

Proposal for Planning and Engineering Review ServicesB. Executive SummaryThe Consultant Team, led by <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>, has national and international experience in working withdevelopers to create land use proposals which we then champion through the entitlement process.We have served on the opposite side as well, working in various capacities with municipalities ontheir behalf to adjudicate proposals pr<strong>of</strong>fered by applicants. To be sure, the process <strong>of</strong> project andland use entitlement is usually an extremely long and complex one. The timeframe from inceptionto entitlement can be measured in terms <strong>of</strong> years, and the timeframe from inception to the actualcompletion <strong>of</strong> a project can sometimes take a decade or more. We find that there are very fewpr<strong>of</strong>essional consultants available to developers and/or municipalities that truly understand, havepatience with and can navigate the entitlement process for the mutual benefit <strong>of</strong> all concerned.This is particularly true for large scale mixed-use projects, and particularly so for those that havea large retail component, as does Woodmont Commons.We are proud to have a very strong record <strong>of</strong> successful project entitlements and built projects.We are steeped in design processes that value the input <strong>of</strong> all stakeholders and the collective effort<strong>of</strong> many. Often, we serve as arbiter’s and managers <strong>of</strong> personalities as much or more than we doas planners and urban designers. However, it is our background as architects, urban planners, brandmanagers and keen observers that prepares us to look comprehensively at complex problems (likeland use planning and entitlement), and, to craft a way to solve them.As outlined further in our Proposal, we intend to get up to speed very quickly with regard to not onlythe written language governing Planned Unit Developments in the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> but alsowith regard to the mindsets and opinions <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the stakeholders. We will be a quick study when itcomes to digesting and internalizing the intent and letter <strong>of</strong> the ordinances, regulations, policies andlong range plans that are applicable and we will be equally adept at discerning the political, economic,social and historical context in which we will be working. Having experience in New England whereland-use policies and procedures are typically more stringent, we are keenly aware <strong>of</strong> the importance<strong>of</strong> the peer review process and why the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> has solicited its Request for Proposal.The Role <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> and The Consultant TeamThere are the three important areas in which <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> proposes to provide both leadership andcreative services for The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong>. In accordance with the RFP, there are essentiallythree tasks that we would provide to you. They are:1. First and foremost, we will review the Woodmont Common’s PUD Application, and commentupon whether or not the Application has fulfilled your stated requirements for submission. This isa rather straight-forward process, and in and <strong>of</strong> itself is not one that addresses the planning, urbandesign, transportation or market issues associated with the development.2. Once the above review is completed, and the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> has accepted the Applicationfor Review, on behalf <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> will provide an encompassing review <strong>of</strong> the designand technical issues associated with the project. This review will be have two interlockingcomponents. On the one hand, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> and the consultant team will utilize in depth <strong>of</strong>experience and familiarity with the range <strong>of</strong> planning, design, technical and market-based issues tocomment upon the merits <strong>of</strong> the proposal, in a “best practices” approach, and to make suggestionsthat might improve the proposal for the mutual benefit <strong>of</strong> all concerned. On the other, the team willreview the proposed development regarding relevant laws, regulations, and policies at both the local,state and federal level and <strong>of</strong>fer an opinion as to whether the proposed development is in generalcompliance, and to <strong>of</strong>fer suggestions as to how the development may be either modified at the level<strong>of</strong> the submission, or how implementation <strong>of</strong> the proposed plan should address certain issues ifapproved. This review shall be in the form <strong>of</strong> a written document.5 The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> Woodmont Commons


3. Both <strong>of</strong> the above tasks are defined in nature, leading to a specific outcome, and are ones where<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> and the consultant team can bracket its cost for services. Obviously, as contemplatedby the RFP, there will be numerous other activities that the <strong>Town</strong> will wish to engage the selectedconsultant team. These activities include, but are not limited to, public meetings, consulting to clarify/expand our opinions rendered, meetings including the Applicant, responses to those that theApplicant may provide and a host <strong>of</strong> others geared toward providing a clear understanding <strong>of</strong> theissues in advance <strong>of</strong> approval(s). By definition, the time involvement for these and other unnamedactivities is unknowable at this time.A more detailed exploration <strong>of</strong> the above may be found in Section E. Outline <strong>of</strong> Services in thisproposal.The Culture, Values and Process <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong><strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> employs an open and engaging community assessment and planning process.As early as the late 1970s, Terry <strong>Shook</strong> employed market study techniques and planning strategiesin master planning <strong>of</strong> the Charleston Visitor Reception/Transportation Center within the City <strong>of</strong> Charleston,S.C., a landmark project that received multiple awards, including an Honor Award from the NationalEndowment <strong>of</strong> the Humanities. Similar early techniques were employed in Greenville, S.C. for assessingand planning the famous Greenville Greenway and Reedy River Falls - arguably one <strong>of</strong> the mostimportant public space developments in the United States.At <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>, the community assessment process has evolved to encompass not only traditionalmarket surveys but a creative public visioning process. This kind <strong>of</strong> process, in fact, led to thecreation <strong>of</strong> Charlotte’s Historic South End District, where developer-driven projects responded toa forward-looking market assessment.We at <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> believe that our creativity and effectiveness are exemplified by the following:We Establish Clear Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe key is to carefully organize talent inside and outside the assessment and planning team. Problemsthat arise in public-private planning partnerships most <strong>of</strong>ten result from just a few organizationalmistakes made at the very beginning. The first is ambiguous definition <strong>of</strong> who does what and when.This becomes obvious after the fact - once things are <strong>of</strong>f track and multiple pr<strong>of</strong>essionals havedropped the ball. Not everyone needs to be engaged at every moment, but every player must havea clear sense <strong>of</strong> what is expected. As important, is the identification <strong>of</strong> what we refer to as “ProcessPartners,” those people or entities in the community, within the Consultant Team or other stakeholdersthat can add skills and value to the Project. This can include providing useful design and developmentinformation; removing barriers or expediting critical decision and approval points.Ironically, our experience in identifying and managing a pr<strong>of</strong>essional planning team and working withstrong Process Partners is much like that <strong>of</strong> a political campaign.We Aggressively Seek The Very Best IdeasIn a community venture, many parties have information and new ideas for successful development.Large-scaled, urban mixed-use projects are not formulaic, whether at the program development stageor in terms <strong>of</strong> design issues. This is why the Principal in Charge <strong>of</strong> planning needs to function as a“sponge.” Observations from individuals or groups that <strong>of</strong>ten come out <strong>of</strong> left field may have thepower to enhance a project - if followed. Open and inquisitive minds, along with the ability toassimilate information and move on, are basic team requirements. We state this need for realflexibility in the beginning <strong>of</strong> every public assessment and planning process because it’s the keyto effectiveness. Everyone involved needs to realize this is critical because engaging the public inplanning can be a bit like handling dynamite. Reacting inflexibly and imposing design will surely causea blow-up or perhaps even complete failure. Unlike many <strong>of</strong> our peers, we are not <strong>of</strong> the opinion thatuncharted, open-ended public sessions are in anyone’s best interest - even that <strong>of</strong> the public, who willJanuary 4, 2012 6


Proposal for Planning and Engineering Review Servicesbe the ultimate benefactor <strong>of</strong> a well-conceived, planned, designed and developed project. Unfocusedand open-ended exercises can <strong>of</strong>ten frustrate a community, leading to “stakeholder and citizenfatigue” and creating something less than good will as an unintended consequence.<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> will work to establish proper procedures, protocols, and venues that will constitute theformal exchanges with the stakeholders, the community, within the Consultant Team and with The<strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong>.We Construct and Help Judge Imaginative and Innovative Alternative Futures and IdeasCommunity design is more than a “take it or leave it” proposition. While many pr<strong>of</strong>essionals practiceas though this proposition were true, clients, communities and new residents all want and deserveas many choices as possible. With complex projects, there are <strong>of</strong>ten many proper planning and designresponses that meet the intent <strong>of</strong> the program. The mere fact that there are multiple programelements means that there are multiple options that meet the fundamentals <strong>of</strong> the program, andyet may yield significantly different responses as to development costs and phasing. Sometimes,important economic considerations such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Synthetic TIF, New MarketTax Credits, operating costs and other factors may influence approach and direction. These are but afew <strong>of</strong> the factors, <strong>of</strong> course. Understanding this complex “soup” <strong>of</strong> options and alternatives—indesign, management and operation - is a skill as critical to success as planning and aesthetic mastery.<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> takes an “eyes wide open” approach to community assessments and master planning.We employ financial modeling concepts that define highly sensitive and subtle market opportunities,such as powerful “branding” considerations.We Establish BrandEffective design is about more than good luck.Rarely does one think <strong>of</strong> real estate as being a brand, say, in the same sense that Nike, Apple,BMW and, yes, Fort Monroe are brands. In fact, real estate has, on occasion, risen to the level <strong>of</strong>an enduring brand <strong>of</strong> secure and increasing economic value. When it does, it is usually a result <strong>of</strong> aseries <strong>of</strong> unconscious factors that fall under the general category <strong>of</strong> “luck.”But what if one consciously approached real estate development as brand creation, with thesame rigorous research and insight demanded by consumer products development? Within thatframework <strong>of</strong> product branding, aesthetic decisions are not based upon whim or individual taste,but upon an in-depth understanding <strong>of</strong> the values and aspirations <strong>of</strong> the marketplace. A hugerange <strong>of</strong> design decisions, particularly about how public space is shaped, formed and detailed,needs to be based upon real, observed human perception and specific desired outcomes, notsimply current aesthetics and fashion. The success <strong>of</strong> true community development partnershipswith the surrounding communities for private investments and participation can be stronglyinfluenced by these subtle, <strong>of</strong>ten subliminal, design considerations.Brands are very important to <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> and constitute an important dimension <strong>of</strong> our business.While many architects use terms like “brand” as if they describe simply a sticker to be applied—we are actually brand developers and managers for some the world’s most noteworthy: Harley-Davidson, Kraft Foods, SeaWorld, Cadbury-Schweppes and dozens <strong>of</strong> successful restaurants, smallbusinesses and, yes, great places.At the core <strong>of</strong> our urban practice lie the skills and attitudes required to excel in the most competitive<strong>of</strong> all businesses: the cut-throat and competitive world <strong>of</strong> business branding. In fact, our attraction tothis fine-edged discipline is a natural growth <strong>of</strong> our passion for great ideas, precision and refinementin design and the very most effective forms <strong>of</strong> communication.7 The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> Woodmont Commons


We Focus On CommunicationsSkillfully coordinating the planning team, the Process Partners, civic leaders and relationships with thegeneral public is critical to success.Simply put, we will encourage the development among the Consultant Team a formalized protocol forsharing and documenting information. This process is characterized as being deep in content,but narrow in scope. With the public stakeholders, the sharing <strong>of</strong> information may be just theopposite, depending upon the audience and timing. Baseline tools, such as a website and a BrandBook, are essential elements <strong>of</strong> the public communication program. Websites being the firstcommunication effort, gain in strength and grow over time, giving out information on an as-requiredbasis. They also are great harvesters <strong>of</strong> information, opinions and beliefs from the general public.Alternative media, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking tools may beemployed. The Brand Book is a specific <strong>of</strong>fering that will be developed only at the end <strong>of</strong> the masterplanning process in order to document the good work produced by the team and the ProcessPartners for the public and other <strong>of</strong>ficials having an interest in or jurisdiction over the Project.Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>’s practice is based upon branding and communication design. This reflects ourbelief that perception can become reality, and hopefully towards transforming the world for the better.We Demand A Collaborative Approach<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> and its team <strong>of</strong> consultants have worked together variously on numerous projects.Because <strong>of</strong> our familiarity with each other, we have an easy working relationship that facilitates bettercommunication. We at <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> believe that useful, functional places cannot be designed in avacuum. The people for whom we design buildings as well as create master plans for have a uniqueperspective regarding the needs for a facility or a place. It is fundamental that we—as architects, andas planners—and you, as managers, tap into the reservoir <strong>of</strong> knowledge and perception if we are tocreate places that contribute to– rather than simply contain– the process.Without question, the most straightforward and successful way to integrate this knowledge intodesign is through participatory programming, planning and design processes. The reality is thatsuccessful participatory design is easier said than done. In fact, only a small handful <strong>of</strong> firms canhonestly claim to integrate client participation into design. Since each project can vary, the extentand nature <strong>of</strong> the exercises will vary with the uniqueness <strong>of</strong> the program and the goals for the project.Where the program is very defined and the delivery model standard, participatory exercises may bevery limited. However, if the goal is to respond to a “break-the-mold” model, the techniques canbe both extensive and diverse.January 4, 2012 8

Our company provides an array <strong>of</strong> creative services, rangingfrom master planning and urban design to architecture, interior design and brand development/communication services. It is within our Charlotte headquarters that our architectural, masterplanning, urban design and mixed-use practice resides. This practice is led by Terry <strong>Shook</strong>, FAIA,and supported by five other principals <strong>of</strong> the firm: Michael Dunning, AIA, LEED AP; Tom Goodwin,AIA; Greg Long, AIA, LEED AP BD+C; Frank Quattrocchi, LEED AP; and Stan Rostas, AIA, IIDA,LEED AP BD+C.The architectural, master planning and urban design practice <strong>of</strong> the firm is a direct reflection <strong>of</strong> thevalues, experiences and accomplishments <strong>of</strong> Terry <strong>Shook</strong> over his 30-year pr<strong>of</strong>essional career.Beginning with a 1975 design workshop that transformed Charlotte’s inner-city, Fourth Wardneighborhood from a haven for drugs and prostitution into one <strong>of</strong> the city’s most notable addresses,<strong>Shook</strong> has focused his academic preparation, pr<strong>of</strong>essional career and volunteer efforts uponrestoring existing communities and designing new ones. He is a regular contributor to national-levelprograms for the Urban Land Institute, the International Council <strong>of</strong> Shopping Centers, the Congressfor the New Urbanism, the International Downtown Association and The Seaside Institute. The firm’slatest project, the redevelopment <strong>of</strong> Charlotte’s former, low-income housing project <strong>of</strong> Double Oaks,represents the state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art in the planning and design <strong>of</strong> mixed-use and mixed-income inner citycommunities for the 21st century.As a result <strong>of</strong> Terry <strong>Shook</strong>’s passion and leadership, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> is in the vanguard <strong>of</strong> communityplanning according to neo-traditional design principles. The firm can claim a variety <strong>of</strong> notablepr<strong>of</strong>essional commissions in the service <strong>of</strong> making new urban mixed-use communities, a number <strong>of</strong>repeat clients, and a range <strong>of</strong> regional and national awards. Our most recent award is one that we aremost proud <strong>of</strong>: The American Institute <strong>of</strong> Architects’ North Carolina Chapter bestowed it’s FIRM OFTHE YEAR award to <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> in 2008. The award is given to a firm that has consistentlyproduced quality architecture with a verifiable level <strong>of</strong> client satisfaction for a prolonged period <strong>of</strong>time.

Over the past 19 years, the firm has garnered a national and international reputation forpioneering a new field <strong>of</strong> study and consulting services that merges seemingly disparate disciplinessuch as brand strategy, architecture, urban planning, human behavior, consumer psychology andcommunication design into one integrated approach we call Perception Design. This process seeks9 The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> Woodmont Commons


to better understand how our environment affects, shapes and influences behavior. Instead <strong>of</strong> justdeveloping clever environmental solutions in search <strong>of</strong> a problem, we start first by understanding, inelaborate detail, the behavior <strong>of</strong> the people that are supposed to inhabit a certain place. We want toknow things like precisely how many times a certain audience thinks about a place, why they think<strong>of</strong> this place, what this place means to them and their lives, what other alternative places they mightthink about and, most importantly, how they use, feel, act and behave in this place. Put simply, wewant to know more about the emotional relationship and bond people have may have with a place,as well as how to keep that relationship alive and vibrant for years to come.Although we utilize a variety <strong>of</strong> interview and survey techniques, our most pr<strong>of</strong>ound insights comefrom just merely observing, watching, listening and talking to users and organizations in a less formalstructure. We have an extensive and well-refined observational research process and interviewingstyle that is non-invasive, yet yields significant breakthrough insights in terms <strong>of</strong> perceptionmanagement issues. Our brand research, brand discovery and brand strategy capabilities havebeen tested, influenced, honed and strengthened by our many years <strong>of</strong> working with successfulconsumer brand entities such as Whole Foods, Harley-Davidson, Coca-Cola, Kraft, Cadbury, Bank<strong>of</strong> America and many other well-known brands.Over the years, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> has continually perfected its Perception Design process by utilizing acase study approach that measures a broad range <strong>of</strong> criteria such as financial results, competitivedifferentiation, consumer loyalty (frequency <strong>of</strong> visits, engagement times), body language and, yes,physical smiles. Many years <strong>of</strong> studying how humans relate to brands and behave in places hasallowed us to be able to provide our clients with the necessary tools, confidence and intuitive logicto make better decisions affecting development decisions, the quality <strong>of</strong> their places, and the futuredirection <strong>of</strong> their place brands. More importantly, our process has provided clients with the ability toincrease the awareness, attraction, meaning and potential reach <strong>of</strong> their place brands.Charles Terry <strong>Shook</strong>, FAIAJames M.

Building 2B - LEED-CSLEED-Core & Shell: Gold Certification. Some <strong>of</strong> the environmentally responsible features used in the design <strong>of</strong> Office Building 2B include:• More efficient building envelope and HVAC equipment selected to reduce energy consumption <strong>of</strong> the building.• The building automation system will also be utilized by the specially trained building operations staff to reduce energy consumption throughoccupancy scheduling and to monitor energy consumption in real-time to reduce wasted energy through poor building systems management.• Low-flow fixtures have been designed into the Core restrooms to reduce the overall water consumption <strong>of</strong> the building.• Low VOC products have been specified for use in all Core & Shell construction <strong>of</strong> Office Building 2B in order to provide a healthier environment forbuilding occupants.• Goal in the construction <strong>of</strong> this building to reduce construction waste by over 50%, use as many products from the local region and utilize productswith high recycled content.• Tenants are not required to participate in the LEED-CI program, however we anticipate that they will be more inclined to make sustainable choiceswhen designing and constructing their interior spaces. Our inclusion in the LEED Core & Shell program will make it easier for tenants to implementmore efficient systems and to seek certification under the LEED-CI program. We also intend to encourage and educate our tenants on the LEEDprogram through our Green Education program as well as the Tenant Guidelines.Office Building 2B within Biltmore Park <strong>Town</strong> SquareBy developing Office Building 2B as part <strong>of</strong> Biltmore Park <strong>Town</strong> Square there are many overlapping sustainable aspects we were able to capitalize on.Some <strong>of</strong> the sustainable aspects include a state <strong>of</strong> the art infrastructure, best practice storm water and erosion measures, reduced vehicular dependencyas a result <strong>of</strong> a mixed use environment, pedestrian and bicycle friendly design, development wide low flow fixtures, drip irrigation or no irrigation andhighly planned structured parking. While Office Building 2B’s overall sustainability is increased as a result <strong>of</strong> these features, the most beneficial featureis the shared structured parking. By sharing a parking deck with multiple users and not having a traditional surface parking lot, the Office Building 2B hasbeen able to keep its footprint to one much smaller than a traditional mixed-use <strong>of</strong>fice over retail building. As a result there is a tremendous reduction inland use from comparable <strong>of</strong>fice buildings with traditional surface parking lots. While there are countless advantages to developing mixed-use masterplanned developments, one <strong>of</strong> the greatest rewards is conserving our existing natural resources, through the creation <strong>of</strong> urban density in areas that wouldtraditionally succumb to suburban sprawl.15 The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> Woodmont Commons

Connected to thegreat Rock Creek Park in both real and symbolic ways, Twinbrook will beknown as the place where Ecology Matters In All Things.OverviewWashington, DC is unique among the greatAmerican cities. Planned from it’s inception to beboth practical and beautiful, it pairs human-scaledurbanism and nature in it’s many forms—squares, greens, malls and parks—to createneighborhoods that appeal to man’s social andcontemplative needs. Coursing throughout thedistrict is the Rock Creek Park, a flowing greenwilderness the likes <strong>of</strong> which is not found in anycity, anywhere.

Project Experience(continued)This Page One <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>s core specialtieswithin the discipline <strong>of</strong> its New Urban Planning Groupis creating and implementing Pattern Books for itsvarious Master Planning Projects. At right is one createdfor Dunham Farm, an active-adult communityIn almost every community in the United States,traditional neighborhoods made up<strong>of</strong> properlydesigned and innately detailed houses and buildingscan be found arranged upona comfortably scalednetwork <strong>of</strong> streets and sidewalks. Some <strong>of</strong> theseneighborhoods have survived intact over the yearswhile others are solely remnants <strong>of</strong> what they oncewere. The character, individuality and charm <strong>of</strong> theseneighborhoods and places is unmistakable. Whileeach house and building is indeed different, there isalways a thread <strong>of</strong> continuity and a consistently highlevel <strong>of</strong> craft and quality evident in the construction.Each and every town or city in the United States has,throughout its history, followed both the written andunwritten tenets guiding the proper act <strong>of</strong> building.The Pattern Book guides designers, developersand builders in creating building designs andassociated landscapes and hardscapes for a particularcommunity that draw upon particular precedents. ThePattern Book establishes the minimum standards <strong>of</strong>design and construction and is based upon extensiveresearch and documentation by the design team<strong>of</strong> local and regional precedents and patterns. Itfocuses primarily upon the exterior and massing <strong>of</strong>the buildings, their relationship to the street and theirrelationship to each other. The Pattern Book servesas confirmation to the elected <strong>of</strong>ficials and citizenry <strong>of</strong>the surrounding area where project will be built,according to the concept and intent set forth in thePlanning documents and in myriad public meetingsin which the character and quality <strong>of</strong> the project wasdescribed and presented. The Pattern Book will haveutility throughout the design and construction <strong>of</strong> adevelopment, and it will ultimately become part<strong>of</strong> the by-laws <strong>of</strong> the community so that theprinciples espoused herein may be enforced inperpetuity.January 4, 2012 26

Much attention waslavished upon this area in the process, includinga massive rebuilding <strong>of</strong> South Boulevard. Asa result, this area attracted the attention <strong>of</strong> noless than five national and regional developers.Sensing that development within the area couldquickly become uncoordinated, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission convinced thedevelopers to retain <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>, under the aegis<strong>of</strong> the Planning Commission, to act as the areamaster planner/planning co-coordinator for theentire station area. All agreed, even though four <strong>of</strong>the five developers were clients <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>,and <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> was the master planner at thissite for two <strong>of</strong> the properties. Through a series<strong>of</strong> charrettes, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> was successful inestablishing a joint agenda among the developers,developing shared urban design standards, andin sorting out a number <strong>of</strong> infrastructure issuesthat impacted all involved.

Project ExperienceUrban DesignScaleybark (continued)Charlotte, NC<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> has completed a comprehensive master plan and infrastructure assessment for the station area. These began with an inventory<strong>of</strong> existing buildings and street connectivity proposals as well as an understanding <strong>of</strong> the TOD requirements and each developer’s program.The master plan calls for a mix <strong>of</strong> uses including: retail, restaurant, <strong>of</strong>fice, multi-family residential, affordable housing, a neighborhood grocery,a library and multiple public spaces all within a quarter mile <strong>of</strong> the station. A number <strong>of</strong> buildings to be built as part <strong>of</strong> the first phase <strong>of</strong> theproject have been designed. Notably, the first mixed-use building, which will be built on the southwest corner <strong>of</strong> Whitton Street and SouthBoulevard, will contain an <strong>of</strong>fice use above groundfloor retail. It has been designed to perform at the highest levels <strong>of</strong> sustainability and to actas the first piece <strong>of</strong> urbanism for the project anchoring the corner closest to the station platform and adjacent to a new public park.<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> coordinated with developers and others todefine the streetscape along South Boulevard. This gaveconsideration to the way in which travel lanes, bike lanes,onstreet parking, sidewalks, gateway elements andlandscaping needed to work together. The construction <strong>of</strong>the southbound side <strong>of</strong> this corridor and a new public park isunderway and is scheduled for completion by February 2012.The old marquee sign for what was the former QueenparkTheater will remain as a Landmark Sign not only to makesure it continues to resonate as a historic symbol for thearea, but also serves as a brand beacon for the newdevelopment. <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> designed several aestheticand functional improvements and has coordinated apreliminary structural assessment <strong>of</strong> the structure.Combined with the initiative <strong>of</strong> the developers, theguidance <strong>of</strong> the Planning Department and the leadership<strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong>, the physical urban components areindeed falling into place in accordance with the masterplan and towards the making <strong>of</strong> a transit-based placethat will prove to be exemplary.January 4, 2012 32


Proposal for Planning and Engineering Review ServicesProject ExperienceUrban DesignThe <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> CorneliusCornelius, NCIn conjunction with the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Cornelius, NC and The McAdamsCompany, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> designed a master plan to provide a truetown center. Through the completion <strong>of</strong> Main Street, this projectsingle-handedly transformed a deteriorating town core with nosense <strong>of</strong> place into a center <strong>of</strong> activity for the whole town.The project is the result <strong>of</strong> a public-privatepartnership directed towards the development<strong>of</strong> the eastern side <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Cornelius,which single-handedly transformed a town corewith little sense <strong>of</strong> place into a center <strong>of</strong> activityfor the whole town.For this 100-year-old town, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> anddeveloper Jud McAdams created a master planand provided the architectural design for a newdowntown that consists <strong>of</strong> a new town hall andcommunity center, “B” street retailing in the form<strong>of</strong> a modified food-anchored open center, and“A” street retail on the main vehicular way. As areturn to “Main Street America,” the master plandelineates a new town infrastructure that predictsthe locations <strong>of</strong> building types and amenitiesinherent to a self-sustainable community and forthe invigoration <strong>of</strong> public life. Replacing derelictbuildings and championing careful and gradualdevelopment, this new district combines retailbusinesses, <strong>of</strong>fice space, single and multi-familyresidential units, open/ green space, and civic/municipal uses. Located at the intersection <strong>of</strong> twomain thoroughfares and a future rail transportationline, the first phases replaced more than tenacres <strong>of</strong> old mill buildings and occupies land thatis bordered on all sides by existing residentialcommunities.The Cornelius <strong>Town</strong> Hall project is a 24,000 SFfacility built in a public-private relationshipbetween The McAdams Company and the <strong>Town</strong><strong>of</strong> Cornelius. It was designed to accommodatea number <strong>of</strong> functions and tenants including thePlanning Department, Mayor’s Office, PublicWorks, Parks and Recreation, CommunityRooms and adjunct spaces for the PoliceDepartment pending the design and construction<strong>of</strong> a permanent facility. <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> was theArchitect <strong>of</strong> Record for the project and theproject cost was approximately $3,200,000.<strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> most recently worked on a dualproject wayfinding sign system / sign ordinancereview and revision with the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Cornelius.The scope involved working closely with thetown’s planning department and other keytown leaders to develop a graphic frameworkfor new <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Cornelius identity signageand general wayfinding sign system to serveboth the public and the business sectorsthroughout the 15 square mile area <strong>of</strong> thetown. The result <strong>of</strong> the comprehensivereview and revamp <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>’s signordinance is due to be the first <strong>of</strong> its kind forthe area: a complete transformation from thetypical outline draft ordinance document withprovisions—into a fully illustrated user manual,typical to that development pattern booksor graphic guideline documents. Instead <strong>of</strong>the “thou shall not” format that mostmunicipal land development ordinances takeon, this new Cornelius Sign Ordinance willencourage businesses and organizations inthe encouraged direction <strong>of</strong> improved signssizes, proper setbacks, lighting, andaesthetically pleasing types <strong>of</strong> sign typesand materials that will, over time, whollyimprove the overall character <strong>of</strong> the townand its various zoned districts throughsimplification, unification and cohesive uses<strong>of</strong> signs types, reducing the pre-existing signclutter, and enhancing the overall sense <strong>of</strong>place for the town.33 The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Londonderry</strong> Woodmont Commons

Project ExperienceUrban DesignCharlotte TrolleyCharlotte, NCThe adaptive use projects by <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> on theprevious page are all located around the formerlyabandoned rail corridor that serves the CharlotteTrolley and today, the Charlotte LYNX Blue LightRail line. <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> helped to create a vision forthe economic and aesthetic rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> thetrolley corridor as well. Beginning in 1987, a succession<strong>of</strong> volunteers, primarily history and trainbuffs, gave their time, talents and funds towardrestoring the shell <strong>of</strong> Charlotte’s last vintagetrolley car as a museum piece. In 1994, thevintage trolley (Car #85) was adopted by a realestate developer who was transforming a collection<strong>of</strong> vacant manufacturing buildings located justoutside the center city.The mostly blighted area contained anabandoned rail spur track linking the area todowntown. The car was made operable for only alength <strong>of</strong> 600 feet, and the ride became a “must”event for school trips and family outings. Terry<strong>Shook</strong> and his partner, Kevin <strong>Kelley</strong>, teamed withthe developer and other volunteers to name andform two non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organizations—Historic SouthEnd, Inc. and Charlotte Trolley, Inc.—to supportthe new district and its historical amenity.In 1995, <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> held a public lecturethat advanced the idea <strong>of</strong> linking South End to thecenter city by establishing full-time trolley serviceupon the abandoned rail line that connected them.More than a transportation link, this endeavorwould foster economic development along thisunique corridor. Charlotte Trolley, Inc., HistoricSouth End, and Charlotte Center City Partnerscombined their efforts to host a series <strong>of</strong> charrettes,orchestrated and led by <strong>Shook</strong>, to explorethe concept. Preparation <strong>of</strong> the resulting CharlotteTrolley Vision Plan marked the first time in thecity’s history that a number <strong>of</strong> divergentfactions—-the private and the public sectors,downtown and its adjacent neighborhoods, businessleaders and common citizens, those wholive in the center city and those who work there,and the black and the white communities—-cametogether to champion an agenda for the greaterpublic good. Through intensive community workshops,a contingent <strong>of</strong> citizens, local design pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsand national experts forged a vision <strong>of</strong>a new urban reality in which the diverse factionscould become stakeholders and advocates for theVision Plan’s acceptance and funding. The VisionPlan was funded by the City <strong>of</strong> Charlotte at thelevel <strong>of</strong> $17.2 Million. This success also sparkeddebate about a broader light rail initiative, whichled to the successful passage <strong>of</strong> a local referendumto impose a 1/2-cent sales tax for transit.The Vision Plan proves that grassroot efforts—with goals and a pathway clearly defined—canharness the energies <strong>of</strong> both “insiders” and “outsiders”to accomplish great and lasting things.The process <strong>of</strong> openness, inclusion, honesty andaction that typified the Trolley Vision process isone that can be useful for cities large and small,regardless <strong>of</strong> the goal at hand.Project Teams and DisciplinesVision Planning / Public EngagementGraphic DesignA two-day charrette conducted by Terry <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> among a host <strong>of</strong> consultants and Charlotteans to help shape the vision for the present day trolleydistrict; A double-sided Vision poster was prepared by <strong>Shook</strong> <strong>Kelley</strong> to document the Vision process, and to champion the cause. 5,000 were printed and distributedthroughout the community.
