Fred, You put faith in Duany who put in 7 days to REVIEW the DEVELOPER'S PLAN. This is the guy who said we don't need parking. I know who Duany is. Only God can work in 7 days (6 actually, He took the day off on the 7th).
Planning firm to release results Jan. 23 ASBURY PARK, Jan. 10, 2002 -- The city's new oceanfront planning firm will make its recommendations public on Jan. 23 following seven days of intensive meetings. A public input session will take place on Sat., Jan. 19 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Berkeley Carteret Hotel. A representative of the city's new planner, the internationally renowned firm of Duany Plater-Zyberk, came to the city this week to arrange the sessions and more fully describe its methodology to members of the City Council. The firm primarily does its work by what is called the "charrette process." According to Duany Plater-Zyberk, a charrette is "an intense period of creative activity, lasting five to seven days, during which a broad range of involvement in the project design by the client, consulting professionals, municipal authorities, and the public is encouraged. The process allows for positive communication about community priorities, regulatory requirements, and administrative concerns during the design phase. As everyone involved in the projects contributes to and, therefore, owns part of the final designs, charrettes elicit a positive response from the community and regulating agencies. The charrette process also reduces the project design time and produces a series of precise graphic documents, including a Master Plan, Detail Plans, Building Types, Street Sections, and Codes." City Manager Terry Weldon said that Duany Plater-Zyberk would send a team of 12 to the city to work on the project. Yahoo!
