Summary Fact Sheet NCSPHS: Amend/Approve Assistant Council Auditor Kim Taylor explained the NCSPHS
Committee amendment. In response to a question from Council Member
Schellenberg, Brian Hughes, Interim Executive Director of the Downtown
Investment Authority, described the proposed demolition and site preparation/basic
landscaping that will take place when the building is vacated later this
year. The DIA has begun to receive initial inquiries from developers about
potential uses of both the Landing site and the former city hall and
courthouse sites on Bay Street. Council Member Boyer said she understands
that the area will be at least grassed over and not left as bare dirt. In
response to a question from Chairman Anderson, Mr. Hughes outlined the future
of the current tenants of the Landing, most of which are on month-to-month
leases and only 4 of which have longer leases. The DIA plans to assist those
businesses in finding other locations to operate downtown if that is their
desire. Mr. Hughes said that the City has not yet talked with the operator of
the river taxi and the existing tenants of the Landing about their future
because that is premature until the bill passes, but will do so when the
legislation is approved. AMEND/APPROVE

Summary NCSPHS:
Amend/Approve Assistant Council Auditor Kim Taylor described the original
Auditor’s marked agenda from the NCSPHS Committee. Council Member Boyer
explained the amendments that she proposed and that were incorporated into
the NCSPHS amendment on Monday. Ms. Boyer said that a currently vacant and
undeveloped site has been identified near the current park and acquisition
options are being explored, as well as land adjacent to an existing fire
station. She explained the environmental remediation plans and the issues
involved in designing the parking lot. In response to a question from
Chairman Anderson about potential other uses of the property, Ms. Boyer said
that the zoning would accommodate other limited public uses in addition to a
school, but a school is the purpose for which this bill is introduced. She
noted that the City has the right to sign off and approve all environmental
remediation plans undertaken by the developer. In response to a question from
Council Member Gaffney, Daryl Joseph, Director of the Department of Parks,
Recreation and Community Services, said that the park has been unused for at
least 10 years because of the contamination which must be cleaned up before
any activity can take place on the site. This proposal is the most solid
opportunity that has presented itself for productive reuse of the site. AMEND/APPROVE

Public Comment
2019-151: Greg Esterman, a property
owner in the original Berkman I tower on Bay Street, said that residents of
that building believe that the Berkman II property could be developed for a
higher and better use than a hotel and entertainment center. They are concerned
about noise and traffic surrounding their residential building. With his
background in the real estate development business, he believes that a
residential tower could work at the site, despite the developer’s contention
that only a hotel and amusement center is financially viable. He believes that
downtown is on the cusp of very positive redevelopment given the upcoming
availability of The Landing site, construction of The District on the Southbank,
and the availability of the former courthouse and city hall sites on Bay
Street, and urged the Council not to rush into a less than ideal project that
doesn’t provide much-needed permanent residents downtown.
