At this time, the Union Station Project encompasses a planning study area bounded by South Street on the north, Lafayette Boulevard on the east, Sample on the south, and Scott Street on the west. The first component part of this request is a master plan proposal for the project area. Various City staff have been working with the private sector development group on coordinating various elements of this two stage project. At this point, the planning team needs to begin a master planning process to understand the impacts of this project on traffic circulation, building density development, site constraints, and other general conditions of the project area. The planning proposal will allow the team to model various scenarios and to look at the big picture effects of the decision making process. The proposal amount for the master plan is $11,150.00. The second component part of this request is a street vacation proposal to perform the various steps necessary to vacate a section of United Drive from the intersection of South and Taylor to the intersection of United and Scott. The street vacation will be prepared, but it will not be submitted until the master planning process has been completed so that all agencies involved in the vacation process will be able to make informed decisions and provide appropriate support and approval for the street vacation. The proposal amount for the street vacation proposal is $6,550.00. The third component part of this request is a Phase 1 ESA and associated environmental testing (asbestos and lead based paint) to be performed on the Ivy Tower facility and site. Incorporation of the Ivy Tower property into the project is the major part of Phase two of this project. The project team has Phase 1 and 2 information for the other properties involved with this project (i.e., Millennium parcel, Public Works Service Center, Police Station) but baseline environmental information needs to be gathered for this property. The proposal amount for the environmental study is $29,500.00. Staff respectfully requests approval of a total professional study budget of $47,200.00. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
