Dear City Council Members, <br />Citizens who rallied around the Eugene Riverfront Master Plan were clear about what they wanted for <br />the city’s signature redevelopment initiative: a destination where visitors can connect with the river, <br />enjoy local craft beverages and food, and the fostering of a vibrant mix of businesses and things to do. <br />At the heart of this nascent river district is the Steam Plant, one of the most visible and iconic buildings <br />in Eugene, with unrivaled views up and down the Willamette River. <br />We believe the Steam Plant is one of the most exciting re-development projects in the Northwest. <br />We have assembled a team of out-of-the-box thinkers and pragmatic executors who know what it <br />takes to deliver on big ideas here in Eugene. We have secured financing on complex development and <br />venture projects and have developed multiple programs of this scale and complexity across a range of <br />industries. Most importantly, we have a shared mission to build this as a project that serves the public <br />and our community as a whole. <br />Our team began exploring a potential vision for the Steam Plant in 2015, in anticipation of this <br />opportunity. When we submitted our qualifications to the City last June, we presented our initial broad <br />vision of a vibrant mixed-use center that maximizes public participation and enjoyment. <br />In the seven months since our team was selected by the City to develop a full proposal for the Steam <br />Plant’s redevelopment, we have broadened the team to more clearly understand the challenges <br />inherent in the project, and honed its architectural and usage concept with the thoughtful feedback of <br />nearly a thousand of our Eugene peers and local stakeholders. <br />Although there are real challenges to the adaptive re-use of the Steam Plant, and there have been <br />questions about the feasibility of its re-use since the beginning of the original planning process, there <br />is only one building in the Northwest with this view, this proximity to a free-flowing river, and this much <br />community support to see a transformational outcome. <br />Our team has the deep local roots, proven track record, and strong relationships required to bring the <br />people and the financing together for the successful execution of this vision. <br />We look forward to working with you to make this vision real. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark Miksis Mark Frohnmayer <br />deChase Miksis Development Arcimoto <br />Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Eugene <br />Amanda D’Souza <br />99 West 10th Avenue <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />April 9, 2019 <br />9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE IV <br />CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL <br />Ap <br />r <br />i <br />l <br /> <br />24 <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />1 <br />9 <br />, <br /> <br />Wo <br />r <br />k <br /> <br />Se <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />o <br />n <br /> <br />- <br />It <br />e <br />m <br /> <br />1
