City Selects Green Buildinq Partners In March, the Planning and Development Department issued a request for proposals seeking developers, designers, contractors and others for work on a green building demonstration project. The project is supported with funds allocated by the City Council for sustainable economic development. A staff team has screened responses and selected three projects, the first two earning top scores: (1) 3rd & Mill Building, an infill project combining commercial spaces with residential units, planned for 420 E. 3rd Avenue. The owner is Jeff Wilson-Charles with the Three Muses Group, LLC, and the project coordinator is Scott Stolarczyk, a LEED-accredited professional with RobertsonlSherwoodlArchitects who chairs the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). RobertsonlSherwood is working in collaboration with William Roach Design. (2) Fairmount Square Rowhouses, located on Walnut Street, south of 15th Avenue. The project will be developed and constructed by a professional design and construction team led by Steve Gab and Michael Scarola of Rainbow Valley Design and Construction, Inc., with design by Ed Waterbury, architect and LEED-accredited professional. This project recently obtained approval for R-1.5 zoning, the first effort utilizing Eugene's relatively new rowhouse zone. (3) Crescent Village, a large-scale, mixed-use Planned Unit Development spearheaded by Arlie & Co. The project manager is Mark Miksis, a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Architecture whose previous projects include the Debs Park Audubon Center in Los Angeles, the first building in the United States to receive a LEED Platinum rating. The projects will receive differing types and levels of support which may include technical and procedural consultation, designation of City staff leads and project teams, and expedited permit processing. The project objectives are to support, recognize and publicize green building development in the community and to learn more about barriers and opportunities to sustainable development for sharing lessons with City regulators, as well as designers, contractors, developers and the general public.
