. . Proposed Artist Community Eyed
FROM PAGE 87 er’s Edge will still be an asset to the disabled in the community. On the complex’s first floor, 10 rooms will be designed specifically to be totally handicap accessible. The remaining eight rooms on the first floor will be built in such a way that they could be easily adapting for a handicapped renter. Hanson mentioned other areas where he hopes the council will be able to help River’s Edge moving forward. The initial expense of development will be significant, especially since demolition will be required for the partially built structure that currently resides at the proposed River’s Edge location on Fitzwater Street.
“To the extent that the city has some mechanism that can help us with that we would be thrilled to hear about it,” said Hanson. Specifically, Osprey would be interested in a reduction in real estate taxes through some kind of PILOT plan with the city. “It would be worthwhile to think about if that’s something the city would like to provide,” Hanson said. “And so the next few steps from here will be receiving comments from public works, receiving final site plan and planning commission approval and basically from there, having closing and acquiring the real estate and knocking down that building.” Construction is “getting closer,” he added. Council President Jake Day, who joined the council this spring and has not been present for other discussions regarding River’s Edge, told Hanson that it was an impressive project and the current timeline looks good. “I think that everybody here is excited to see this timeline. It’s the first time that I’ve seen a timeline related to the project and my fingers are crossed for you,” said Day. The construction completion date of September 2014 is the target, agreed Hanson, but is only a projection and may have to be altered as the process moves forward. “It’s a tough site,” said Hanson. “It’s a redevelopment of a half-built project.” Councilman Tim Spies thanked Hanson for the update and said that the council would be willing to discuss any options for assistance that Osprey would like to request. Councilwoman Laura Mitchell felt the same. “You’ve got a lot of options available and we’ve got a lot of options available to help … that is a horrid site,” she told Hanson, “and we certainly want to see something better since this is a really useful project for the community and really gives back.”
