for the Kenzie Terrace projects, including lots of berming on the
site, enclosure of the lower level of parking and the second level
open. With all changes, the resulting structure will be 8 feet
taller than the May, 1983 proposal and will have a resulting height
from street level to roof peak of 66 feet.
A motion was made by Commissioner Ranallo, seconded by Secretary/Treasurer
Marks to approve the preliminary construction plan of Phase I, Kenzie
Terrace with the following conditions:
• (1) That the final construction plans conform to the preliminary
plan and to the urban design guidelines of the redevelopment plan.
(2) That the brick facade color be approved by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
(3) That all open structural parking areas have wrought iron black
decorative and secure mesh which is appropriate to the architecture
of the building.
(4) That the final grading plan be prepared by a registered engineer.
(5) That the bus shelter shown on the plan be properly labeled and
that landscaping be detailed in the final construction plan.
The motion carried unanimously.
Dick Krier discussed acquisition of the body shop property owned by
the Gudim's and Anderson's. He described the negotiation process and
the relationship of the proposed purchase price to the just compensation
amount set several months ago by the H.R.A. It was recommended that
a purchase price of $207,000 be authorized, keeping in mind the age of
the City's appraisal (1 year), title questions on the property as
well as the risks and costs of continuing with the condemnation
• process.
