Title
1717 SE 8th AVE PHASE I DEVELOPMENT (B)
Explanation
One of the largest undertakings of the Eastside Redevelopment area is the redevelopment of the 15-acre former Kennedy Homes site (1717 SE 8th Ave). During 2014 CRA staff completed a 100% Master Plan of the 1717 SE 8th Ave site. The Master Planning exercise, and subsequent design were heavily influenced by the public, from the initial kick off meeting through the 30%, 60%, and final 100% Master Plan. CRA staff and the design team met with stakeholders and held community workshops to solicit their feedback through all phases of the design. The CRA Board approved the 100% Master Plan and staff is prepared to move forward with the next phase of the project.
Staff has received a proposal for Civil Engineering Services on the first phase of the development from DRMP, INC. The proposal includes four required services: Surveying, Design Plat, Construction Drawings, and Final Permitting in the amount of $102,367.50. Additional sub services such as Landscape Architecture, Electrical Engineering & Lighting Design Services, as well as Environmental Consulting services will also be included in the Construction Document & Permitting Phase. At the conclusion of this contract the CRA will have all the necessary permits and entitlements to construct the first phase of the new development.
Next steps include outreach to the builder/developer community to discuss innovative approaches to partner on the new development. Staff will also bring back a proposal for Architecture Services to develop the Architectural standards for the community. Staff held a community workshop in late June to discuss name and logo options for the new community, of the three names presented “HEARTWOOD” gained the most consensus, staff is continuing to work with the community and marketing firm Parisleaf to come up with a final name and logo to be approved by the Board.
