SOUTH gg <br />ps qAi Qi;��. 'Lp <br />F %, : Department of <br />Community Investment <br />1665 <br />Memorandum <br />June 26, 2013 <br />To: Redevelopment Commission <br />FROM: David Relos, Economic Resources <br />SUBJECT: Oliver Plow Industrial Park landscaping <br />In 2010 the Commission approved improvements to the Oliver Plow Industrial Park, <br />including a pedestrian trail system from the west side of the Park (Arnold St.) to the east <br />side (Chapin St.); entry signage and landscaping; decorative lighting; and the <br />development of the Oliver Plow Memorial Park, featuring a 110% life -size bronze statue <br />of James Oliver standing next to an Oliver Chilled Plow. <br />As part of the ongoing Park's operations, plans are being drafted that would form an <br />owner's association, similar in nature to Blackthorn, whereby owners in the park would <br />pay an annual amount to maintain the Memorial and entry signage and landscaping. <br />In the interim, the landscaping and irrigation system are in need of repair. Because of a <br />tour of the Memorial this week, Jay Harwood, the owner of Rose Brick, paid to have <br />these two items completed. <br />Fuerbringer Landscaping, who installed the original landscaping, agreed to weed, <br />mulch, and trim the beds in the amount of $4,905. Mr. Harwood has paid this bill, so the <br />Park's entrance and Memorial were presentable for the tour. <br />Staff requests approval to reimburse Mr. Harwood in the amount of $4,905, and thanks <br />him for his concern in the appearance of the Park. <br />227 W.
