As the HRA will recall, with the <br />proposed VA on the site adjacent to the ramp since November of last year, the HRA had sought an <br />alternative location-for the Flaherty and Collins project. The current site is immediately north of Sunwood, <br />West of the proposed Municipal Plaza. Considerable work has been done on this site to advance the <br />project, but the availability of the original site has us reviewing the location once again. Flaherty and <br />Collins will be in town Monday and Tuesday next week to work through these issues in an effort to keep <br />this project on schedule. Monday morning's meeting will focus on the site plan and design of the project. <br />Members of the HRA are invited to attend and pazticipate in this session, the meeting will be posted as a <br />public meeting. No action will betaken at this meeting. <br />Monday July 26, 2010, Sam-12pm -Flaherty and Collins Residential Apartment Project Site Plan <br />and Design Meeting <br />Attendees - HRA, Development Manager, F&C team, Design Team, Staff <br />• Site Location <br />• Parking Configurations <br />• Mixed-use components <br />• Amenities <br />Architecture <br />The purpose of this meeting is to consider the benefits and challenges associated with the two site location <br />options, and select a site on which to move forward.
