<br /> 86-293 Letter from the City Manager recomending denial of a resolution to appoint
<br />viewers for closing of a portion of Bay Street.
<br />
<br /> 'Portsmouth Boating Center, Inc., and Christian Broadcasting Network have made applicatic
<br />to close a portion of Bay Street, w.hich~is partially under and adjacent to the Elizabeth River'
<br />Since it has been Council's policy in the past not to close streets in other areas of the City:
<br />under similar circumstances, possibly Council would no~ wish ~o place ~he viewers or the appli
<br />cant through street closure procedures.
<br />
<br />Therefore, mt is recommended that, based on past activity, Council deny this request."
<br />
<br /> George C. Joyner, Iti, 324 London Boulevard, representing Po~rtsmouth Boating Center,
<br />requested that the matter be deferred for 30 days.
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Gray and seconded by Mrs. Lucas, to defer, as requested, fo the meeting
<br />of September 9, 1986, and was adopted by unanimous vote.
<br />
<br /> 86-294 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a motion to award contract
<br />for preliminary design of all three phases and final design of Phase ~ of public improvements
<br />for PortCentre.
<br />
<br /> "The 1988-90 Capital Improvement Program includes funds ~or construction of public ~mprov
<br />ments to develop PortCentre Commerece Park. Phe consultant firm of C. E. Maguire completed a
<br />master Development Plan for the proposed Commerce Park, including a recommended three phase
<br />approach for the installation of improvements, depicted on the attached area map. The total
<br />
<br />estimated cost of the three phases is approximately $4 million as delineated on the attached
<br />sheet. The phasing would provide for the maximum amount of developable land in Phase I with-
<br />out · ncurring the expense of major storm drainage improvements required for the area south of
<br />Lincoln Street Street. This area wonld be part of the Phase II construction as the demand for
<br />land increases and sales improve. Estimated sales figures whould substantially offset the
<br />constructior cos~.
<br />
<br /> If City Council concurs with the proposed approach to PortCentre, I recommend that City
<br />Council adopn a motion to authorize me to enter into a contract for the design phase with the
<br />engineering consultant firm of C. E. Maguire.
<br />
<br /> Offers for sale have begun az PortCentre, and it is anticipated that
<br />marketed and development will begin in Spring of 1987, with completion of
<br />of 1987.~'
<br />
<br />projects will be
<br />Phase I in the Fall

<br /> Motion of Mr. Barnes and seconded by Mrs. Webb,
<br />contract for preliminary design of all three phases
<br />merits for PortCentre, as requested, and was adopted
<br />
<br /> that authorization b~ granted to award
<br />and final design for Phase I for improve-
<br />by unanimous vote.
