Page 3 of 23 [1]
At the December 13, 2016 CRA meeting, Bellomo Herbert, the City's continuing services consulting Architect, was contracted to prepare a feasibility study for the development of a conceptual design addressing the following aspects of the project: 2 Site Locations Environmental Review of Site Project Cost Estimate Floor Plan Page 4 of 23 Frank Bellomo, of Bellomo Herbert, a GAI Company, provided a powerpoint presentation and graphic boards of two (2) conceptual designs for the Civic Center and highlighted the designs, floor plans, and project cost estimates for both designs. Member Nelson asked what the square footage of the original building located at Sandpoint Park was and Mr. Bellomo stated that he would find out and provide the square footage of the building. Executive Director Larese advised that staff s recommendation was for the CRA to provide direction to Bellomo Herbert, a GAI Company, on the draft Civic Center conceptual designs to include which design to move forward with or whether to provide a new design. Member Leady advised that he felt the play mound in Concept 2 was not necessary and that he would like a bigger amphitheater, with elevated seating facing the river, separated from the Civic Center, with walk ways, picnic tables, and sails in between the amphitheater and Civic Center. Mr. Bellomo advised the he could provide different stage designs depending on what type and size of events the CRA was envisioning. Member Diesel stated that more parking close to the Civic Center and amphitheater was needed. Vice-Chairman Barringer recommended no Farmers Market and to incorporate the Coast Guard building property into the site selection and add a design concept similar to the rose garden feature at Leu Gardens in Orlando into the concept plan. Member Nelson advised that she preferred Concept One and that the stage location would allow for a river breeze to assist in keeping people cool. She stated that she would like the public to have the opportunity to provide their opinion before moving further. Member Leady advised that there needed to be discussion on what the need of the Civic Center was before moving forward or making decisions. Member Stoeckel asked whether the green space could be used for temporary parking and whether two (2) events could be held at the same time. [2]
Mr. Bellomo stated that the entire park was not looked at for parking space and advised that two (2) events could be held at the same time. Member Anderson advised that she preferred Concept One and no Farmers Market. She recommended not to call it a Civic Center, but maybe an Event Center. Vice-Chairman Barringer advised that he was in favor of the play mound, a sloped amphitheater, and recommended to be able to close off access points to have the ability to charge for events. Mr. Bellomo advised that he would need direction on what type of stage was desired. It would depend on what type of entertainment was being considered to include location and direction of stage. Mr. Bellomo stated that the space was designed for mid-size to small events, not major events. Space could be set up for a temporary stage on a paved patio if space for big talent was desired. Vice-Chairman Barringer recommended not to design the stage for larger talent and to do away with the Boardwalk overlook. Chairman Johnson recommended reconditioning the original building and keeping it. New Business xxx Legacy Academy Charter School Temporary Location at 412-414 Main Street Executive Director Larese advised that the Legacy Academy Charter School, grades K through 6th, proposed to locate temporarily at storefront units at 205 S. Lemon St (units located at 412 and 414 Main Street). The site was located in the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU), Downtown Sub-district zoning district. Section 29-255 (a) of the Land Development Regulations permitted public schools with limitations in the DMU, Downtown Subdistrict. The location met all of the limitations with the exception 28-255(c)(2)(c), that stated "Shall be required to have frontage and all access from a collector or higher roadway, unless the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approves access from a lower roadway classification". Main Street, Lemon Street, and Palm Avenue where the building site had access to were not classified as collector or arterial roadways. The Legacy Academy Charter School requested CRA approval to locate the school at the proposed location with access to local streets. Member Anderson stated that the buildings at 412-414 Main Street were really small and would not hold 200 students. Community Development Director Peggy Busacca advised the Charter School was located in the Youth Building of the Church across the street from 412-414 Main Street and the Page 5 of 23 [3]
intent was to use at least two of the small units at the 412-414 Main Street location as class rooms for some of the grades. Vice-Chairman Barringer asked whether steps were being taken to keep the school safe regarding any bad activity that took place in the near vicinity of the school. Executive Director Larese advised that additional steps had begun in the early summer months regarding safety for the school. Motion: Member Nelson moved to approve a public school access from a lower classified roadway than a collector (Section 28-255 (c)(2)(c)), as recommended. Member Leady seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. xxx Petitions and Requests from the Public Present Karl Krupp advised that he had a house on Garden Street and expressed concern for safety near the proposed temporary location for the Legacy Charter School.
